Despite strong network performance, the price of Solana (SOL) is struggling to maintain momentum, currently hovering around $75. Recent data reveals that the network processed over 1 billion non-vote transactions in the week ending July 6, and active wallet addresses surged from 16.8 million to 29.7 million within a fortnight.
Analyst Ali Charts highlighted that Solana is averaging 8.4 million new wallet addresses weekly, indicating robust user growth. Additionally, tokenized assets on Solana have reached $3.3 billion, a rise of $1.1 billion since May, showcasing the platform's increasing adoption.
Solana currently dominates the tokenized stock trading landscape, accounting for approximately 97% of the volume, with $318.7 million in tokenized stocks. However, the upcoming launch of Open USD (OUSD), a stablecoin backed by over 140 financial institutions, including BlackRock, is anticipated to attract billions in new investments to Solana.
Despite these indicators of growth, SOL's price does not reflect its network activity, primarily due to low transaction fees that result in a mere 1% of new coin supply being burned. This discrepancy raises concerns regarding the long-term price performance of SOL without adjustments to its tokenomics.
Currently, SOL faces a critical support level between $73 and $74. A failure to hold this area could see it drop further towards $60. Conversely, if the price can reclaim the $78-$79 range, there may be potential for an upward target of $95.
In summary, while Solana continues to experience unprecedented growth metrics, the market's lackluster response to SOL's price presents a challenging dynamic for investors.
