Solana (SOL)

Predictive markets still anticipate growth for Ethereum, Solana, and Zcash before the end of this year. However, their bets remain much more cautious regarding the closing price on December 31.

Real world assets tokenized (RWA) on Solana have just reached a new high. Their value rose to 4.6 billion dollars on September 23, according to RWA.xyz data. At the same time, the number of wallets holding these assets nearly doubled in one month.

Solana is generating more fees than Ethereum, but ETH still leads on burn. The gap reveals two very different crypto economic models.

Solana has tightened its clock a third time since August with 250 milliseconds per block, compared to 300 before. A speed gain, not capacity. Coincidence or not, the announcement comes on the same day the network shows a record of more than 5 billion monthly crypto transactions.

Solana has just activated on its mainnet an upgrade awaited for several months. The maximum size of a transaction increases from 1,232 to 4,096 bytes, or 3.3 times more space. The new v1 format has been active since the beginning of epoch 1,035 on September 15. For the crypto ecosystem, the change mainly targets operations too large to fit until now in a single transaction: zero-knowledge proofs, multisignatures, and new onchain signature systems.

During the shortened week of September 8, U.S. crypto ETFs recorded nearly $263 million in net outflows. The positive gathering of products related to Ether, XRP, and Solana was masked by withdrawals concentrated on Bitcoin ETFs.

BNB Chain proclaims its top global position in RWA growth with +3.6 billion dollars in 2026. Impressive figure on paper. But on the same day, DeFiLlama shows Solana regaining the lead in crypto application revenues and DEX volume, far ahead. Two rankings, one real question: who generates the activity?

On September 9, 2026, Solana issued 263,000 tokens in 24 hours, an absolute record. Yet, it is not this figure that impresses the most. With 5.09 million dollars in daily revenues, Solana outpaces all competing blockchains. Between memecoins and regulated markets, discover how the crypto network combines volume and economic solidity.

During the session on September 8, XRP ETFs recorded $1.55 million in net inflows. Such a result places XRP ahead of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana for the day, without questioning the cumulative dominance of Bitcoin funds.

Robinhood Chain generated about 33 million dollars in fees in fifteen days, compared to 11 million for Solana and 9 million for BNB Chain over the same period. According to a Bernstein note reported by The Block on September 8, the network launched on July 1 now produces between 2 and 4 million dollars in daily fees. Robinhood would keep about 90% of it. For this new branch of its crypto activity, the numbers are starting to become significant.

Solana strengthens its crypto transaction ceiling to catch up with Ethereum on complexity, during the same week Ethereum, on its side, is preparing the end of the obligation to hold ETH to transact. Two competing networks, two opposite strategic projects, and a shifting balance of power quietly taking shape behind the scenes.

Fomo surpasses Pump.fun in one day with 1.76 million dollars. But the PUMP token itself soars by 7.8%. Is the crypto market right to snub major press headlines?

Tokenized stocks approached $3 billion in weekly spot volume at the beginning of August. In its analysis published on September 3, Grayscale ranks Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Solana among the main networks of this new segment of the crypto market. Liquidity is growing fast. However, the use of these assets in onchain finance remains limited to about 5% of the market.

Over the past thirty days, Solana has captured $348 million in net flows towards tokenized real-world assets. The blockchain thus outperforms other networks during this period, according to data provided by the RWA Foundation. This momentum raises the value of RWAs distributed on Solana to $4.23 billion. However, it is not enough to dethrone Ethereum across the entire market.

Usually, the month of September is a risky period for crypto investments. Historically, Bitcoin shows its weakest monthly performance during this period, while central bank decisions can intensify volatility. This year's context adds many uncertainties, including a probable rate hike in the United States. Despite these threats, three cryptos still have strong arguments to get through the month. These are Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

After swallowing more than three billion dollars in nine days, Bitcoin ETFs suddenly hit the brakes, leaving the king of crypto stuck below $81,000 while Ethereum and Solana quietly keep marching ahead.

The network enters a new phase of supply management. Solana validators have approved a measure that accelerates the annual reduction of SOL emissions. This decision changes the pace of disinflation without altering the long-term target set. The vote also comes as investment products linked to the network attract capital. The results thus clarify the supply and staking rewards, as well as current governance choices.

Solana could soon significantly reduce the remuneration of its stakers. The SIMD-550 proposal, currently submitted to a community vote, plans to accelerate the decline of SOL inflation. In the long run, the nominal staking yield could fall from about 5.25% today to 2.25% in three years. The community must decide between immediate income for stakers and increased scarcity of SOL.

In July, 4.2 billion transactions were processed on Solana, a monthly record for the network. Activity grew by 13.5% in one month and by 91% since December 2025. This increase precedes an approximate 40% rise in SOL over eight days, with a crossing of the $100 threshold. Meanwhile, the valuation of tokenized real-world assets on Solana currently approaches $4 billion.

Solana crypto ETFs have just recorded 33.5 million dollars of net inflows in a single session. It is their best day of 2026 and their fifth consecutive positive session. The cumulative flows now reach a record 1.22 billion dollars. Bitwise still absorbs most of the money.

Bitcoin surpasses $80,000, its highest level since mid-May. Complete breakdown and analysis of scenarios to watch.

Solana has just shortened its block creation time to 350 milliseconds, a first step towards the ultimate goal of 200 milliseconds. Faster confirmations for crypto users, a clear roadmap... And as one signal never comes alone, SOL surged beyond 94 dollars.

Solana has just risen back above $94 after briefly surpassing $100 on Friday. The SOL crypto even touched $102 before pulling back. The movement is impressive, but a good part of the activity comes from derivatives products. The open interest now reaches $5.81 billion. Many positions thus remain open.

Memecoins continue to attract traders on Solana. Profits, much less so. Among the 304,161 active wallets over the past 90 days, only 19,003 show a positive result. That represents 6.25% of the traders followed. The median crypto trader loses 120 dollars. Even among the winners, large profits remain rare.

Rarity could soon no longer be the exclusive domain of bitcoin. According to projections published by Grayscale, the annual growth of Ethereum and Solana supply could fall below gold's 1.8% by 2031. Indeed, several reforms are currently being debated, including EIP-8361 on Ethereum and SIMD-0550 and SIMD-0553 on Solana. If adopted, ETH's annual inflation could drop to 0.4%, compared to 1.1% for SOL. This development is likely to reshuffle the cards between rarity, staking yield, and valuation of these two cryptos.

Bank Leumi teams up with Galaxy Digital to launch Bitcoin, Ether and Solana trading in its app by 2027.
