Solana's latest price was $, in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency has been a focal point in the cryptocurrency world, with its network remaining a hub of activity. Daily active addresses have rebounded above five million, and over 30,000 new tokens are launching per day. Decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes are anchored by serious flows, with SOL-USDC remaining the top traded pair. Raydium and Jupiter are handling the bulk of liquidity, indicating a robust trading environment. Additionally, liquid staking tokens like mSOL and jitoSOL continue to gain total value locked (TVL), and reverted transactions, often seen as noise, are increasingly concentrated among mid-sized wallets. This suggests rising speculative experimentation rather than any dysfunction within the network.

Staking yields on Solana remain high at 7.82% APY, with over 65% of the supply staked, including almost $2 billion through Marinade. The network is also seeing around $5 billion in weekly DEX volume, immaculate stablecoin transfer strength, and progress within its ever-maturing validator ecosystem. These metrics indicate that Solana is consolidating a different kind of high: regulatory progress, institutional trust, and infrastructural maturity. While the price of SOL may have its turn in the future, the network continues to sugar ball its metrics, waiting its turn with eyes mostly on Bitcoin's next move and beyond.
