Based on the report, the overall real economic value or REV across networks on-chain has gone down as much as 83% compared to its highest peak at $4.9 billion, which occurred back in the fourth quarter of 2021. In the third quarter of 2025, the overall value has plummeted to $655 million.

ARK Invest concluded that there are several factors that have fueled the downturn of REV among blockchains. The first factor is the significant drop in uninformed flow, which is historically known for generating most of the Maximum Extraction Value and revenue for these networks.

Another reason for the decline in REV is the drop in transaction costs across multiple chains, as they continue to lower costs to attract more users on-chain by optimizing for greater trade efficiency.

According to data from DeFi Llama, Solana’s REV in the past 24 hours has reached $1.1 million. Meanwhile, the chain’s total value locked has amounted to $11.36 billion, rising by 0.74% in the past day. So far, the largest share of fees comes from Gauntlet $12.71 million, while the largest TVL comes from Jupiter.

ARK Invest’s Solana investments

In the past, ARK Invest has invested large amounts of its funds into Solana-related ventures. On Sept. 19, ARK Invest bought about $162 million worth of shares in Solmate or BREA after taking part in the company $300 million funding round. The company now holds about 6.5 million BREA shares.

Back in July 2025, ARK Invest moved its validator operations for its Digital Asset Revolutions Fund to SOL Strategies, a Toronto-based firm specializing in Solana.

Meanwhile, in April 2025, ARK Invest made its first direct Solana investment through the SOLQ ETF, a Canadian-based SOL staking ETF. The purchase made ARKW and ARKF the first-ever U.S.-listed ETFs to add Solana to their portfolios.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
