Solana Posts Record 4.2 Billion Transactions as SOL Tops $100
Markets say the U.S. Treasury’s plan to double long‑dated bond buybacks eased long yields and pushed fresh flows into crypto.
Overview
- The Kobeissi Letter and on‑chain providers reported that Solana processed a record 4.2 billion transactions in July, a 13.5% monthly rise and about 91% increase since December 2025.
- SOL climbed roughly 40% over eight days and briefly traded above $100 before pulling back, with intraday highs near $102.88 and short‑term selling pressure afterward.
- Trading liquidity surged on Solana with seven‑day decentralized exchange volume at about $20.14 billion and stablecoin supply near $15.94 billion, supporting large on‑chain flows.
- Tokenized real‑world assets on Solana reached roughly $3.97 billion by Aug. 25, driven by more than 1,200 tokenized assets and growing holder counts.
- Analysts link the rally to the U.S. Treasury’s Aug. 19 announcement to at least double long‑dated buybacks starting Sept. 9, a move that lowered long yields, encouraged risk buying, and may boost ETF and institutional demand for Solana.
