Solana SOL has reached a record high of 166.9 million unique token holders, positioning it as the fourth-largest held layer-1 token. This represents a 12% increase since October, despite an $18.2 billion capital outflow and a 63% price decline during the same period. Recent data shows the altcoin attracted $34.9 million in weekly inflows, though this was significantly less than XRP‘s $120 million.
The number of unique Solana holders has reached a record 166.9 million, according to Token Terminal data. This makes SOL the fourth-largest held L1 token, ranking behind Binance BNB, Ethereum ETH, and Tron TRX.
Holders increased by 8.2% in the first quarter of 2026 from 154.2 million at the end of 2025. The surge in holders occurred during a period where SOL‘s price declined 63% from $224 to $84 since last October.
However, the asset has seen substantial capital outflows. The Realized Cap metric tracking capital inflows has dropped by $18.2 billion from a record $96.9 billion to $78.5 billion since October, as stated by Glassnode.
Past rebounds in this metric have marked cycle bottoms followed by sustained rallies. At the time of writing, the metric had yet to print a reversal despite price consolidation.
Solana and XRP led last week’s altcoin inflows, according to CoinShares. SOL‘s inflows were $34.9 million, nearly four times less than XRP‘s $120 million.
If XRP continues to attract four times the capital inflows of SOL, the former could front a stronger rebound. SOL‘s price recently surged about 7% to $87 after broader market relief.
This offers a potential pathway to reclaim the $85 mid-range. The target could extend to the range high of $90-$93, a potential 9% gain.
However, the altcoin could slip back to $77 if the current momentum fades.
