According to CoinMeta, Solana set a new record for blockchain network activity on August 4, 2026, with 169.9 million transactions. Although the price of the coin is still 63% lower than its peak in January 2025, the growth in trading activity has sparked discussions in the market about its investment value. According to Crypto Briefing data, the trading volume of tokenized stocks on Solana's decentralized exchanges reached $5.8 billion in the second quarter, representing a 114% increase from the previous quarter. In addition, Solana's trading volume of perpetual contracts in the same quarter reached $148 billion, setting a new historical high. Despite a 44% decrease in network fees, a recent 46% price increase may indicate that more capital and activity are about to flow into the network.
