2M Dormant SOL Wallets Hold Key to Solana's Next Growth Phase

A study by Solana-native staking platform Tramplin found that over 2 million small SOL wallets are holding between 1 and 100 SOL, but are not actively participating in the network.

These dormant retail investors have reduced their risk-taking strategies following major market shocks, including the collapses of FTX and Terra. The study suggests that current staking yields of around 5% to 7% are insufficient to justify the effort of delegation and validator monitoring for many users.

The findings indicate that a significant share of retail capital is economically inactive, creating a structural bottleneck for Solana's long-term security, liquidity formation, and capital-market ambitions.
