Solana

Solana's SOL token has fallen 72% from its $295 all-time high and trades below $188, the level reached when spot SOL ETFs launched in October 2025. Despite the four-month price pullback and slower ETF inflows, onchain data shows leading DEX volumes, rising RWA value and strong address activity compared with rival networks. Technical levels between $51 and $80 and resistance near $120 are being watched as key areas for how this valuation gap might eventually close.

On Friday, February 27, Solana fell 2%, lifting its monthly decline to over 32% as volumes stayed muted.

On February 23, ZachXBT alleged Axiom Exchange staff misused internal data for insider trading. Roughly three hours before his report, two newly created wallets staked a combined $59,800 on a prediction market and netted about $109,000. According to Lookonchain, twelve addresses collectively gained approximately $1.02 million; Axiom said on February 26 it revoked access and began an internal probe.

On 23 February, ZachXBT signaled an upcoming insider-trading investigation, and on 26 February he named Axiom Exchange, alleging staff misused internal tools for profit. Shortly before the reveal, a Polymarket account funded with about $70,000 in USDC bet roughly $65,800 on Axiom being implicated, later earning more than $400,000, and was subsequently linked on-chain to an active Axiom user's Solana wallet.

Solana (SOL) is leading a $170 billion crypto market relief rally, surging 10.6% to test a critical $90.35 resistance level on February 26, 2026. With $3.78 million in daily ETF inflows and a 755% spike in payment volume, analysts are watching if SOL can invalidate its triple top pattern and target $127, or if declining long-term holder conviction signals a deeper correction.

DoubleZero's 2Z token climbed 11% within 24 hours, supported by rising USD inflows, institutional participation and a technical breakout above a descending trendline.

Major cryptocurrencies climbed on Wednesday, adding more than $170 billion in market value and posting one of the strongest single-day rebounds in weeks.

Some analysts linked the move to a pause in a "10 a.m." selloff after a Jane Street lawsuit, though no public evidence shows fixed-time sales.
