Solana tokenized stocks hit $800M volume, flips Ethereum – What’s next?

ambcryptoPublished on 2025-09-26Last updated on 2025-09-27

Key takeaways

Why did Solana overtake Ethereum in tokenized stocks?

Solana’s higher user activity and faster, cheaper transactions pushed its tokenized stock volumes above $800M, over 60% of the market.

What’s next for Solana price?

Short-term charts show bearish pressure with a possible rebound.

Solana [SOL] just pulled off a big win in the world of tokenized stocks.

The network’s trading volume shot past $800 million, flipping Ethereum [ETH] in the process! For a space where Ethereum has long been the leader, this is huge. But can Solana keep the lead, or will the latter fight back?

Solana captures majority shares in tokenized stock volumes

Tokenized stock transfer volumes hit nearly $1.3 billion, and Solana alone accounted for more than $807 million of that figure.

This means the network processed over 60% of the total market, outpacing all other chains combined.

Gnosis [GNO] followed with $307 million, while Ethereum trailed at just $127 million. Avalanche [AVAX], Arbitrum [ARB], and Polygon [MATIC] barely registered in comparison.

This is a big shift in market leadership, one that once belonged to Ethereum.

Pulling ahead

The on-chain data shows why Solana has managed to edge out Ethereum in tokenized stock volumes.

By late September, Solana had surpassed 2.5 million daily active addresses, significantly ahead of Ethereum’s 747,000.

 Network growth also favored Solana, which added nearly 1.3 million new addresses, outpacing Ethereum’s smaller expansion. 

While both blockchains maintained steady development activity, Solana’s stronger user engagement appears to be the key differentiator.

Short-term pressure

Despite Solana’s dominance in tokenized stock activity, its price action has turned bearish in the short term.

SOL dropped to $192 at press time, sliding below the mid-Bollinger Band and testing support near $193. The RSI also hovered around 35, a sign of oversold conditions after a sharp sell-off.

This could mean that traders are booking profits following Solana’s big run earlier in the month.

While the network’s fundamentals remain strong, the chart shows that price sentiment has cooled. This leaves room for a potential rebound if buying interest returns near the lower Bollinger Band.

Dialogue with Bitwise CIO: Bitcoin May Be Near Bottom, Who Will Drive the Next Rally?

In a recent podcast, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan analyzed Bitcoin's current market cycle, suggesting it is near a bottom characterized by low volatility and investor indifference. He believes the next major price surge will be driven primarily by wealth management platforms, financial advisors, and family offices, who control trillions in assets and are now gaining access to Bitcoin ETFs. Hougan views Bitcoin as a long-dated, out-of-the-money call option on it becoming a global reserve asset. Its value increases with global monetary system volatility, making it a natural hedge against currency disorder. He outlined Bitcoin's adoption path: first as a global digital store of value (competing with gold), and potentially later as a check against fiat currency abuse by sovereign states. Addressing the muted price action despite institutional ETF inflows, Hougan explained that significant selling by long-term retail holders has offset buying pressure. However, he is optimistic as data shows retail selling has subsided, which, combined with continued institutional inflows, could propel prices higher. Hougan downplayed the future impact of Federal Reserve interest rates and MicroStrategy's actions on Bitcoin's price, arguing they are becoming less relevant. Instead, he pointed to runaway U.S. fiscal deficits and debt as the core long-term drivers. Finally, he discussed the transformative potential of asset tokenization, predicting all traditional assets will eventually trade 24/7 on blockchains. This will merge traditional and crypto markets, increasing efficiency but also introducing crypto-like features such as overnight volatility and easier access to leverage into traditional finance.

Dalio Warns of U.S. Bond Supply-Demand Imbalance: Gold and Bitcoin Could Become Hedge Assets in Debt Crisis

Ray Dalio warns of an unsustainable imbalance in US Treasury supply and demand, drawing parallels to the mechanisms of a "big debt cycle" described in his book. Key recent developments include Japan selling US bonds to support the yen, rising US long-term yields amid weak demand, and limited Treasury buybacks. Dalio explains that when debt service burdens become too large relative to income, and bond supply outstrips market demand, a crisis point approaches. Typically, central banks then print money to buy bonds, leading to currency devaluation and inflation. He simplifies the US government's position: with ~$5.5T in revenue, ~$7.5T in spending, a $2T deficit, and $32T in debt, annual debt service is roughly $1T in interest plus ~$10T in maturing principal needing refinancing. Without change, he estimates a potential debt crisis in roughly three years, give or take two. Dalio proposes a "3% three-part solution" to reduce the deficit to 3% of GDP through balanced spending cuts, tax increases, and naturally lower interest rates. He warns that Japan's high debt, often cited as sustainable, has led to poor bond returns and significant currency losses versus gold and the dollar. In response to questions, Dalio states that all reserve currencies eventually decline via this debt cycle mechanism. He advises investors to diversify globally, favor countries with strong finances and stable politics, underweight bonds, overweight gold, and allocate a small portion (e.g., 10-15%) to Bitcoin as hedges against government-created currency devaluation.

Grayscale Lists 3 Reasons Why Bitcoin Is Worth Buying Right Now

Grayscale's Head of Research, Zach Pandl, suggests Bitcoin may currently be a favorable buying opportunity for long-term investors. In an assessment from August 21st, he based this view on three key factors, while emphasizing that Bitcoin's future behavior remains uncertain. The first factor is the enduring structural trend of Bitcoin adoption, driven by government deficits, growing blockchain use in financial services, and generational shifts in investment portfolios. The second is Bitcoin's market cycle position, noting the current bear market has lasted 10 months, approaching the typical duration of past cycles. The third factor is the macroeconomic outlook, particularly real interest rates and Federal Reserve policy, which has recently shifted to be more favorable. Pandl acknowledges Bitcoin's price volatility, referencing a recent swing to $79,461 before a pullback, and cautions that further Fed rate hikes could pressure prices. He concludes that, taken together, these three factors—ongoing adoption, a deep bear market phase, and generally supportive macro conditions—indicate current prices could be an attractive entry point for long-term investors. Grayscale's evaluation focuses on market conditions rather than predicting an absolute price bottom.

Mysterious "Whale" Sells $576 Million Worth of Bitcoin Amid BTC Price Approach to $80,000

An unidentified crypto "whale" sold 2,700 BTC (worth approximately $211.8 million) in a single transaction, bringing its total sales over three days to 7,700 BTC for roughly $576.6 million. This selling pressure occurs as Bitcoin trades near the $80,000 mark, having recently retreated from nearly reaching that level. While large holders often sell to realize profits during sharp rallies, on-chain data only confirms the movement of coins, not the motive. So far, these sales have had little impact on Bitcoin's upward momentum, with the asset posting double-digit gains recently and its strongest weekly increase since 2024. The rally was fueled by a U.S. Treasury Department announcement to at least double its long-term bond buyback operations starting September 9th, which lowered bond yields and pushed investors toward riskier assets like Bitcoin. This week's selling marks a reversal from a recent accumulation trend, where large holders had added about 43,000 BTC (worth ~$2.75B) over a 60-day period ending in mid-August, helping set the stage for the current price surge. As Bitcoin hovers around $80,000, traders are watching key factors: whether other major holders will follow suit and sell into strength, and if renewed institutional demand from ETFs can absorb the selling pressure. The outcome will likely determine Bitcoin's next major price move.

Galaxy Says Bitcoin Must Reclaim $82,470 Level to Confirm End of Bear Market

Galaxy Research states that for Bitcoin to confirm the end of its bear market, it must reclaim its 50-week moving average, currently near $82,470. Analysis of historical bear markets since 2011 shows that once Bitcoin sustainably recovers this key weekly level, it has not subsequently set a new closing low in 11 out of 13 instances. While the 50-day moving average provides faster signals, it comes with many false starts; the first attempt to reclaim it failed in every historical bear market. The 50-week average offers more reliable confirmation but at the cost of timing—successful recoveries of this level typically occurred months after the market bottom, with Bitcoin already up 63-237%. In the current cycle, Bitcoin is trading around $77,190, roughly 6% below the critical $82,470 level. The recent rally is optimistic, but a weekly close above this threshold is needed for stronger historical confirmation that the June low marked the bear market bottom. Until then, the recovery remains unconfirmed.
