Solana’s growth outlook has strengthened following a sharp rise in network usage, driven by stablecoin transfers and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). Amir Avalliani said the network processed $2 trillion in stablecoin transfers in Q1, reinforcing Solana’s role in payments and settlement infrastructure.
Avalliani attributed the momentum to rapid stablecoin growth, noting that stablecoin transfers on Solana “accelerate” as adoption expands. He also said that RWA on Solana has 10x’d, with tokenized products such as bonds and credit funds increasing their presence on the network by a factor of ten.
The reported expansion was linked to Solana’s low fees and high processing speed, which can support higher transaction throughput for tokenized financial products.
Beyond native digital assets, the ecosystem’s infrastructure is also expanding. SOL Strategies confirmed it will acquire HoudiniSwap for $18 million to broaden cross-chain capabilities and privacy tooling aimed at institutional users.
Under the announced terms, the deal includes $8.25 million in cash, a $5.75 million promissory note, and $4 million in stock.
In 2025, HoudiniSwap generated approximately $13 million in revenue. More than 50% of its volume reportedly interacted directly with Solana.
The integration of the swap aggregator is designed to enable non-custodial transactions across more than 100 networks, which the announcement positions as a catalyst for liquidity across the ecosystem.
Avalliani also pointed to developer growth as a sustainability pillar, saying more programmers are choosing to build on Solana. He suggested this could translate into a broader range of on-chain financial services over the next three to five years.
Despite the reported operational strength, the SOL token faces selling pressure in exchange markets. In May 2026 trading, SOL is reported to be near the $88 support level, after losing the psychological and technical anchor of $110.
Using a Fibonacci analysis from the $238 high to the $110 low, the current price is described as trading below the main retracement area. The loss of $110.34 is cited as shifting short-term structure toward sellers.
Traders are watching a support zone between $85 and $88. If that level fails, the article notes a potential retracement toward $75 to $80.
To invalidate the immediate bearish trend, a recovery would require a daily close above $110.34. Additional resistance levels identified are at $137.68 and $159.14.
Momentum indicators on the daily chart are described as mixed. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is near 59.09, indicating neutral buying interest. The MACD shows recovery attempts, though they have not yet been confirmed by trading volume.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
