Solana Holds Near $220 As Reported Transactions Fall By Half

Analysts are assessing whether the drop reflects fewer validator votes or weakening user activity.

Overview

  • Fresh CryptoQuant readings show daily transactions at roughly 64 million, down from about 125 million in late July.
  • SOL trades in the low $220s with strong turnover after a push above $240 earlier this month.
  • The widening gap between price and on‑chain counts has prompted warnings that recent gains could be speculation-driven rather than usage-led.
  • Context matters because 80–90% of Solana’s activity historically comes from validator voting, which can depress totals without signaling user flight.
  • Technical views point to consolidation above key moving averages, with support around $210–$215 and risk below $210, while some traders cite potential ETF catalysts and even a $600 target as speculative upside.
