Solana ETFs Show Resilience as Price Declines 72%, Network Activity Stays High

-

Solana’s SOL token is down 72% from its all-time high of $295, trading below its spot ETF launch price of $188 from October 2025. Despite slowing ETF inflows and a sharp four-month price decline, the network’s on-chain volumes and revenue continue to outpace major competitors, creating a divergence between its market valuation and underlying activity.


Solana’s SOL is down 72% from its all-time high of $295 and well below the $188 level seen during its spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) launch in October 2025. Since early December 2025, spot SOL ETF inflows have slowed while the price retraced sharply over four months.

At the same time, Solana’s on-chain volumes and revenue metrics continue to rank higher against competitors. This raises questions on whether SOL’s longer-term price prospects tilt toward a return to its all-time high.

Spot SOL ETFs launched in late October 2025, drawing over $100 million in average net inflows during their first five weeks. Since December 2025, the weekly inflows have decreased, averaging $20 million to $25 million as SOL price slid to $86 in February 2026.

Across the four-month drawdown, the cumulative outflows total just $11.3 million over two weeks. Spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) ETFs, by comparison, have logged four consecutive months of negative flows in the same period.

Solana’s network activity tells a different story than its price. Over the past 30 days, Solana processed $108 billion in decentralized exchange (DEX) volume, ahead of Ethereum’s $63.7 billion and Base’s $31.48 billion.

In the last 24 hours, Solana generated $3.1 million in app revenue versus Ethereum’s $2.95 million. Active addresses stood at 2.17 million against 682,236, while chain fees reached $722,706 compared to Ethereum’s $356,438.

Crypto trader Scient noted two macro areas that may shape a potential bottom. The first is the 0.75 Fibonacci retracement zone of $60 to $70, a level associated with deeper pullbacks within larger uptrends.

The second is a weekly demand fair value gap (FVG) between $22 and $29, an area of prior liquidity imbalance that preceded the explosive rally to $200 from $25. For now, the structure remains capped as the price holds below the weekly resistance of $120.

UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) data adds context. Over 6% of the supply last moved within the current price cluster, creating a dense cost basis zone.

The price compression alongside consistent capital inflows and rising network use reveals a measurable gap between activity and valuation. Whether that gap resolves depends on how the $51 to $80 level and the $120 resistance level interact over the coming months.
