Solana has jumped 34% year-to-date in 2025, while the broader altcoin market gained 10%. This upswing has primarily been attributed to meme coin trading hype, particularly after the launch of the TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins.

The decentralized finance industry has evolved over the years and looks set to replace traditional finance institutions, which have faced issues of regulatory scrutiny, privacy, and security. According to Forbes, the DeFi market will be worth over $450B in 2030, over 300% growth from the current market size. One of the blockchains that could drive this massive growth of DeFi is the TON blockchain, which is leveraging its affiliation with Telegram, which has nearly over 1 billion users. Elluminex (ELX) is a new project that is bringing DeFi to the over 950 million active users of the TON network. Some crypto gurus believe that its cross-chain solutions and unique features could drive its adoption.
