Solana (SOL) has risen about 10% over five days, trading near $85 with futures open interest climbing 20% to $4.2 billion, indicating increased leverage and institutional activity. Despite this rebound, SOL remains down 13% year-to-date due to earlier macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures. Network fundamentals show growth with rising daily users, transaction counts surpassing Ethereum, and expanding stablecoin market size, alongside new U.S. bank integrations for USDC settlements.
