Transaction volume reached 515 million, ranking first among mainstream blockchains. Meanwhile, Nasdaq-listed company Forward Industries increased its SOL holdings to nearly 6.98 million, staking almost all of its SOL and earning over 1.33 million in staking rewards. This indicates that the Solana ecosystem continues to attract institutional capital, and the network fundamentals remain strong.
2️⃣ Stablecoin ecosystem surpasses $15 billion, application scenarios expanding
The on-chain stablecoin market cap on Solana has exceeded $15 billion, nearly doubling compared to the same period last year. Non-USDC/USDT stablecoins now account for about 20%, including varieties like PYUSD, USDG, USD1, as well as native application stablecoins such as Phantom’s CASH and Jupiter’s jupUSD. The expansion of stablecoin scale reflects genuine demand in DeFi, cross-border payments, and on-chain settlement scenarios, providing strong support for Solana’s role as a financial settlement network.

Meme activity now accounts for 50% of weekly DEX trading volume on Solana, continuing three consecutive weeks of growth. The number of new Meme tokens issued daily approaches 30,000, a new high since September last year.

CME will also introduce 24/7 electronic trading services for SOL spot futures, with improved mechanisms to attract long-term institutional funds.

Several large SOL transfers have occurred over the past week, including transfers of approximately 47,000, 338,500, and 27,700 SOL between anonymous addresses. These large movements may reflect frequent short-term fund reallocation behaviors. Additionally, US Solana spot ETF experienced net outflows from January 15-17, with Grayscale GSOL recording a single-day net outflow of $1.92 million, indicating some institutional pressure to rebalance positions at high prices.
