Can Solana’s $900M stablecoin surge help SOL clear $145?
Solana’s strong on-chain growth, rising liquidity, and ETF momentum position SOL to challenge $145 resistance.
Stablecoins are no longer just a market hedge.
In the past, sharp jumps in USDT or USDC supply were viewed as bearish, signaling a shift toward a risk-off mood. In simple terms, more stablecoins often meant investors were sidelining liquidity rather than deploying it.
However, that narrative has evolved. Today, stablecoins reflect how capital is being positioned across different L1s. In this context, Solana’s [SOL] recent $900 million increase in stablecoin supply clearly stands out.
As the chart shows, SOL has outrun every other chain in stablecoin inflows. More importantly, the timing suggests this move isn’t a fluke. Instead, it indicates that the capital flowing in is more structural than speculative.
Backing this, Solana recently became the largest chain by market cap for tokenized stocks, with the combined value reaching a record $800 million. Meanwhile, its 30-day RWA value is leading the top three chains, up 17%.
Taken together, these trends suggest that the stablecoin inflow is tied to real on-chain demand. However, the key question remains: Will this capital translate into price action, helping SOL finally break key resistance?
Stablecoin supply strengthens Solana’s bullish case
Solana has kicked off 2026 by clearly diverging from its 2025 performance.
On-chain, the network is seeing strong activity, with Daily Active Addresses (new wallets) jumping 55% year-to-date. For context, that’s a massive outperformance compared to Ethereum [ETH], which is up just 0.3%.
Notably, the price chart tells a similar story. SOL is up 8% so far in 2026, roughly twice the ROI of ETH. That said, looking closer at the weekly trend, SOL is moving up but now facing a key resistance around $145.
In this context, the recent jump in stablecoin supply starts to matter.
With strong on-chain fundamentals, solid relative performance, and capital flowing across sectors, this extra liquidity could be the catalyst Solana needs to finally break out of its 8-week sideways chop.
What’s more, the surge in liquidity lines up with big developments: Jupiter launched its on-chain stablecoin, and Morgan Stanley filed for a spot SOL ETF.
All of this adds weight to the case for Solana to break resistance.
Final Thoughts
- Stablecoin inflows and strong on-chain activity highlight structural demand for Solana, setting the stage for a potential breakout.
- Recent market developments add further weight to the bullish case.
