Blockchain throughput has also tripled since July, while DeFi total value locked reached its highest point since 2022. Expanding NFT activity, GameFi adoption, and Visa\u2019s recent USDC settlement pilot on the Solana network add further credibility to its rally, according to the analysts.<\/p>\n<p>From a technical perspective, the $200 mark has emerged as a solid support level, with relatively thin resistance between $219 and $222. A decisive breakout above that range, accompanied by strong volume, could open the door for a rapid advance toward $250-$260. This move is supported by falling Bitcoin dominance, which points to an ongoing altcoin rotation, while neutral funding rates indicate the market isn\u2019t overly leveraged.<\/p>\n<p>Macro conditions are also favorable, with a softer US dollar, September rate-cut expectations, and strong risk appetite in equities channeling liquidity into high-beta assets like Solana. B2BINPAY\u2019s outlook remains bullish as long as SOL stays above $200 and BTC dominance continues to weaken, though a drop below $180 could pause the upward momentum.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe think that until SOL holds $200 and BTC dominance is weakening, Solana remains one of the market\u2019s top performers into late August. However, a break below $180 would put the rally on pause.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Large whale holdings have also been on the rise, as those with more than 10,000 SOL jut reached a new all-time high.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Wallets holding 10,000+ Solana <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24SOL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">$SOL<\/a>, around $2 million, just hit an all-time high of 5,224! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FDX8woJuLW\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/FDX8woJuLW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali (@ali_charts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1956235405810130992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">August 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Solana\u2019s Institutional Momentum<\/h2>\n<p>With its rally backed by real-world use cases, Solana is increasingly finding a place in institutional portfolios once dominated by Bitcoin and Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>As reported earlier, four publicly traded companies have collectively <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/meet-the-public-companies-sitting-on-591-million-worth-of-solana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">amassed<\/a> over 3.5 million SOL tokens, which roughly represent 0.65% of the circulating supply.<\/p>\n<p>Upexi holds the largest publicly disclosed treasury with 1.9 million SOL, which were accumulated in just four months since April 2025.
