Solana’s SOL token crossed $109 on Aug. 27, 2026, reaching intraday highs of $109.31 to $109.64 and its strongest price since late January. The SOL/BTC pair gained about 45% over the preceding 30 days even as Bitcoin tested levels near $80,000. SOL’s market capitalization was roughly $60 billion, while its record high of about $293, set in January 2025, remained well above the latest price. Short liquidations exceeded $16 million during the surge, adding forced buying pressure. Solana also recorded more than 4.2 billion transactions in one week, while tokenized real-world assets on the network approached $4 billion. Solana-linked exchange-traded funds attracted roughly $65 million to $95 million in recent weeks, with the Bitwise BSOL staking ETF posting multi-month record flows. The Fear and Greed Index moved into Extreme Greed as SOL rose, supporting risk appetite but also warning of potential pullbacks. Technical analysts identified overbought conditions while highlighting possible targets above $120 if momentum persists.
