Solana Network Activity Breakout Rally
Record network activity with active addresses near 7 million and transactions per second approaching 1,100 supports SOL's potential to break past $80 toward $120.
Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (5 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.
Mainstream financial press is carrying this — attention has broadened beyond specialist outlets.
"SOL trades near $93.80 on August 22, 2026, after surging 15% in a week on Treasury buybacks and regulatory optimism. Resistance sits at $95 to $100, and a clean close above $100 improves the Solana (SOL) price prediction through Q4, with $150 achievable by year end."
"Solana validators are reviewing SGP-0003, a proposal that would raise daily SOL burns from around $47,000 to roughly $650,000. That kind of activity meeting a tighter supply schedule is exactly the setup that pushes price targets higher."
"the network processed more than 1.01 billion non-vote transactions in a single week according to U.Today, the highest weekly total in Solana's history. Solana ETF assets passed $1 billion in total inflows since launching in late 2025, and the network leads all chains in weekly transaction count."
"The daily chart shows Solana (SOL) price holding above a long-standing support area between $70 and $75 after repeatedly defending that range over recent weeks. A sustained close above the 100-day average would expose the psychologically important $80 level before opening room toward the May swing high near $82."
"BeInCrypto reported that active addresses are retesting yearly highs near 7 million while transactions per second approach 1,100. The SOL price prediction now depends on whether governance and record activity can push the token past $80 and toward $120."
