Key Points
1
Solana’s rebound was partly attributed to a derivatives-driven move after a Federal Reserve policy decision; on Sept. 18, SOL rose from about $101.63 to $105.89 and broke above its 20-day moving average.
2
A report cited an SEC five-year exemption for stock-trading venues announced Sept. 17, while claiming Solana-based stock trading was already handling roughly $200 million in daily volume across 727,000 wallets.
3
At roughly $112, Solana’s market capitalization was estimated at about $66 billion, with approximately 587.3 million SOL in circulation and 24-hour trading volume of $5.3 billion to $6.0 billion.

The valuation analysis notes that, at the current circulating supply, a $500 SOL price would imply a market capitalization near $300 billion, while $2,000 would imply more than $1.1 trillion—levels that would require substantial growth in Solana’s share of on-chain finance rather than another speculative memecoin surge.

The broader market backdrop included Bitcoin trading above $81,000, with Bitcoin up 4.2% and Ethereum up 5.68%, alongside a 15.83% gain for Avalanche, illustrating that Solana’s advance occurred during a wider altcoin recovery.
Solana rose to roughly $112, hitting a seven-month high as a broader cryptocurrency recovery and strong technical momentum lifted the network. CoinGabbar reported that Solana-linked investment products recorded continued net inflows, while the network saw record participation in tokenized equities and decentralized-exchange activity. The rally caps a week where TechBullion noted SOL jumped more than 7% in a single session and closed the week above $117.
At roughly $112, Solana's market capitalization stood near $66 billion with approximately 587.3 million SOL in circulation. CryptoBriefing reported that Solana's surge past $116 liquidated over $18 million in short positions. However, analysts say SOL remains well below its 2025 peak, and sustained growth will depend on converting the network's high transaction capacity into durable adoption and fee revenue.
A Rally Driven by Fed Policy and Technical Momentum
Solana's rebound began after the Federal Reserve's policy decision triggered a derivatives-driven move. On September 18, SOL rose from about $101.63 to $105.89, breaking above its 20-day moving average. TechBullion noted the token jumped more than 7% in one session as broader altcoins surged—Bitcoin rose 4.2%, Ethereum gained 5.68%, and Avalanche jumped 15.83%.
Technical analysts identified near-term support for SOL near $111. If the rally reverses, deeper support exists around $96 to $93. The advance came amid a 12-week inflow streak for Solana investment products, according to TechBullion, signaling continued institutional interest despite wider market volatility.
Record Participation in Tokenized Equities and DeFi
Solana's network reported a record 850,000 unique holders of tokenized equities, reflecting growing interest in stock trading on blockchain. CoinGabbar reported that Solana-based stock trading was handling roughly $200 million in daily volume across 727,000 wallets following an SEC five-year exemption announced September 17 for stock-trading venues.
Decentralized-exchange trading volume on Solana hit record levels, with CoinGabbar noting that weekly DEX volume topped the New York Stock Exchange in key metrics. The network continues to rank among leading blockchain networks for application fees and DEX activity, yet researchers caution that network capability is outpacing measurable economic capture.
What Higher Prices Would Require From Solana's Adoption
At the current circulating supply of 587.3 million SOL, a $500 price would imply a market capitalization near $300 billion. A $2,000 price would suggest a valuation exceeding $1.1 trillion—levels that require substantial growth in Solana's share of on-chain finance and genuine adoption, not another speculative memecoin surge.
For now, Solana's 24-hour trading volume ranged from $5.3 billion to $6.0 billion. The network's appeal hinges on converting its speed advantage into fee-generating activity and settlement demand. Promotional claims about presales like Pepeto remain separate from Solana's underlying fundamentals and should be evaluated cautiously, TechBullion cautioned.
