SOL Price Trend Last 7 Days

A profound divergence has opened in the digital asset markets today. While cumulative US spot Solana ETF inflows have surged to a record $1.22 billion, including a single-day high of $33.5 million on Monday, the underlying asset trades at a muted $96—nearly 67% below its historic peak of $293.31.

This decoupling occurs even as the network processes a record 4.2 billion monthly transactions, driven by a 66% expansion in block compute limits from 60 million to 100 million units, alongside a $5.2 billion weekly peak in meme coin volume and $3.73 billion in tokenized real-world assets held across more than 313,000 addresses.
