Evening here, sipping tea and refreshing the charts — Solana’s sitting around $144 today, up a modest 1.5–2% or so, but nothing explosive. After all the chatter about those spot ETFs (assets crossed $1 billion earlier this year, though there was a small net outflow of about $2.2 million yesterday), the market’s just… breathing steadily. Not crashing, not mooning, mostly range-bound.
I remember back in early 2025, right when the spot ETFs first launched, everyone was losing their minds thinking SOL was about to moon hard. Turned out the price pulled back more than half from its all-time high around $294 in January last year. Reality hit different than the hype suggested.
Now it feels like institutions are in the game, but quietly stacking rather than pumping the price. On one hand, on-chain activity is still solid: DeFi volumes are humming, meme coins are popping off (that RALPH one just hit over $43M market cap today on pure hype), and stablecoins keep growing. On the other hand, validator numbers have dropped quite a bit — down to around 800 or so — and that makes you think twice about decentralization risks.
For me, Solana has always been about speed and low fees — it saved me a fortune on transfers compared to ETH back in the day. But these quiet stretches make me think it’s a good time to just observe, maybe pick up some dips if they show up. No big moonshot expectations for tomorrow, but no panic either — just another calm evening in this long cycle. How are you feeling about Solana right now — still holding strong for a 2026 breakout, or looking at other chains?
Today’s markets closed with mixed but steady action — Bitcoin is holding near ~$95K as traders navigate consolidation after recent rallies, while sentiment remains neutral to slightly cautious with options expiry and regulatory delays in focus. Bulls and bears are squaring up, but overall momentum hasn’t broken decisively yet.

Mem nelere, gark olmadı, Zin'in ateşi için Ferhat dağlar delmedi mi, Şirin'in düşü için Kusur ise her saniye, her yerde seni anmak Mecnun az mı yemin etti, Leyla'nın başı için
Gözlerinin dokunduğu her mekan memleketim Bakıver de uzamasın gurbetim, esaretim Ahmed Arif, hasretinden prangalar eskitmiş Beni böyle eskitense, prangalı hasretin
Sana yine, sana yandım, Nesimi de, dün gece Gözlerinle yüzüleyim, bend olayım Hallac'a Böyle hüküm, buyurmuşlar, tanrılar divanında Ha ben sana, yollanmışım, ha Muhammed miraca
Cümle cihan güzellerin, yüzlerine ben örsün Gözlerin balyozu oldu, içerimdeki örsün Ruhumdaki fırtınalar, Merih'i usandırdı Nuh'a haber eyleyin de, gelsin de tufan görsün
