Solana (SOL) retained its No. 5 spot on the Roundtable 100 in the Nov. 6 ranking, maintaining its place among the top five assets.
The Solana blockchain network is built for fast, low-cost transactions and its native token, SOL, is the seventh-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of more than $51 billion.
Roundtable 100 analyst bullish on Solana after later upgrade
Published with TheStreet , The Roundtable 100 ranks the top 100 publicly traded technology growth assets. Each is scored from 0 to 100 by the analysts of the Blue Ribbon Committee on five variables, Team, Safety, Value, Innovation, and Market Dominance, with the average forming the asset's Power Ranking. The list refreshes every Friday after the U.S. market close.
The Blue Ribbon Committee committee's analysts rank a company on the basis of its potential to grow in the future, not its current dominance.
The RTB 100 analyst John Divine, who leads institutional crypto execution at BlockFills, highlighted that the Solana blockchain network's recent Alpenglow consensus upgrade reducing transaction finality from approximately 12.8 seconds to under one second is part of its push to capture growing demand for stablecoin payments, cross-border transfers, and 24/7 trading.
According to Divine, the expansion of tokenized stocks and round-the-clock trading could reshape how investors access financial markets. While traditional equity markets operate during regular trading hours, tokenized stock markets remain open throughout the week, including on weekends and holidays.
More on Solana:
The RTB 100 analyst took two recent developments to argue how Wall Street is embracing tokenization and is not hesitant to use blockchain technologies for the purpose.
Last month, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation's (DTCC) launched its tokenization service and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) joined hands with Trade[XYZ] to develop a regulated U.S. market for perpetuals built on the Hyperliquid blockchain network.
Divine cautioned that moving traditional financial markets toward 24/7 trading could introduce new risks such as weekend volatility. But Solana's faster transaction finality could give it an important advantage as trading activity grows in the future, he opined.
