Solana’s Token Falls as Network Hits New Activity Highs

Rising exchange deposits and concentrated app trading mean stronger on‑chain use has not yet translated into a durable SOL price recovery.

Overview

  • SOL has dropped about 20% over the past month and is down roughly 44% year‑to‑date, trading near $68 on June 25–26 despite rising network activity.
  • Token deposits to centralized exchanges surged roughly 2,400% between June 11 and June 25, a flow pattern that signals sustained selling pressure rather than one‑off moves.
  • Decentralized exchange volume on Solana rose about 39%, lifting the seven‑day average to roughly $1.73 billion per day and keeping daily network fees elevated.
  • Solana processed about $1.3 billion in tokenized stock trades last week, capturing roughly 95% of on‑chain tokenized equity volume, with SpaceX‑linked tokens accounting for about half of that spike.
  • Most fee revenue and trading activity remain concentrated in a few meme‑token apps and new DEX venues, and analysts say a lasting SOL rebound depends on Bitcoin holding higher levels, SOL reclaiming $70, and product upgrades such as the planned Alpenglow update in late 2026.
