Solana Surpasses $240 in Latest Price Surge
Solana’s 21.6% rally above $245 is fueled by record DeFi activity, whale accumulation, and institutional investment, with traders watching whether momentum extends toward the $260–$270 range.
Solana (SOL) surged 21.6% this week, climbing above $245 and marking a market cap of over $134 billion. The rally is supported by record on-chain activity, with Solana’s DeFi TVL surpassing $12 billion. Institutional involvement also strengthened, as Galaxy Digital purchased $1.16 billion in SOL, aiding Forward Industries’ $1.65 billion private placement. Additionally, whales moved over $680 million in SOL, and Galaxy Digital withdrew $326 million from exchanges in the last 12 hours. Traders anticipate the Federal Reserve’s potential 25-basis-point rate cut could further boost risk assets. Technically, SOL trades near $250 resistance, with upside targets at $260 and $270 if momentum holds.
