Solana's financial activity is scaling through stablecoin volume and institutional tokenized funds. It reportedly processed $5 trillion in stablecoin volume in 2026, while JPMorgan Asset Management launched two tokenized money-market funds on Solana for qualified US investors through Morgan Money. x.com x.com
Solana is now a much larger coin and has already had its big growth phase, so Bitcoin should recover first. Solana moves about 1.35x as much as Bitcoin, so a 1.5x Bitcoin move implies roughly $195-$200, not the $234 level at Bitcoin's $125K high. Solana should still reclaim its old high later this cycle. x.com x.com
Pump.fun's continuing Solana sales add selling pressure ahead of a predicted move to $95 before the weekend. It sent another $14m of SOL to Kraken and has sold $875m since 2024 at an average of $160. x.com
Solana is becoming a one-stop shop for all of finance rather than just a memecoin casino, and could easily triple from here. Tokenized-asset spot volume on Solana hit an all-time high of about $5.7B in Q2, a sign real-world assets are finding liquidity onchain; memes brought attention, tokenized markets bring structure. World's launch put a prediction market directly inside Phantom. Solana's token inflation is a worry that hopefully gets fixed. x.com x.com x.com
Solana's biggest opportunity may be the financial ecosystem forming around it rather than SOL's price, as more trading, lending, staking, tokenized assets and derivatives create demand for its blockspace. Jupiter is expanding into lending, Helius builds staking infrastructure, Sentora runs stablecoin vaults and xStocks brings tokenized equities. SIMD-0553's resource-based pricing could turn more activity into more fees and SOL burned. Solana ETFs drew $10.26M last week, a seventh week of inflow. … Show more
Solana has lost its moats: speed and retail mindshare carried it this cycle, and every narrative it was meant to own now has a stronger competitor. Memecoin attention is spreading to Robinhood, BNB and Base, Robinhood is coming for tokenized stocks, and Hyperliquid owns perps. Solana's perps did $8.9B last week, which Hyperliquid often does in a day. As more volume settles in its $15.5B of stablecoins, SOL matters less beyond gas. Pump.fun has sold about 4.8M SOL and expanded beyond Solana. … Show more
Solana is harder to fade because StonkFun's launchpad generated over $20 million in revenue in the last 30 days. SOL price action should follow. x.com
Solana's disinflation vote passing makes the bull case more obvious every day. The proposal passed with 67% support, a thin margin but not a bad one, and with SOL 64% below its all-time high, breaking that high again should not be very difficult. Buying Solana at $73 is like buying Bitcoin at $73. x.com x.com
Solana faces a massive long flush soon because Wintermute has started sending a huge amount of SOL to Binance, in what looks like a coordinated shakeout. x.com
Solana remains bullish through a mini onchain bear season because it keeps producing real innovation and novel products from really smart developers. Onchain activity is just as weak on Robinhood's chain and BNB, but once it picks back up, Solana's products and coins should rerate. x.com
