Solana’s [SOL] ecosystem is seeing an interesting confluence of whale accumulation and technical resilience. As Solana moves through a turbulent market, on-chain data revealed a promising story.
Whale wallets with over $5 million worth of SOL have piled up a massive 60% of the total supply, while the network’s TVL stood at $6 billion. This seems to be painting a picture of institutional confidence amid market uncertainty.
Solana’s network value solidifies
Underpinning this whale activity, Solana’s position in the DeFi ecosystem has remained strong, with a total value locked of $6.014 billion. In fact, this places SOL firmly as the third-largest chain by TVL, capturing 6.89% of the cross-chain market share.
Only Ethereum and TRON currently maintain larger network valuations, highlighting Solana’s growing prominence in the DeFi landscape.
