Solana

SoFi has introduced direct Solana network deposits, making it the first nationally chartered US bank to let its 13.7 million customers move SOL from external wallets into SoFi crypto accounts. Users can now buy, sell, hold, and receive SOL in the same app where they manage checking and savings, while Solana trades around $81.42 after a recent pullback. Technical traders are watching support near $76.60 and resistance in the $85–$92 region.

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. According to Finbold, its AI tool blending ChatGPT, Grok, and DeepSeek Chat points to $89.47 by Sunday, March 1, 2026, with individual calls at $88.90–$90.25, while technicals note a pivot at $87.56 and an RSI of 58.26.

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.
