Key Takeaways

How confident are investors in Solana right now?

Very confident, with the same evidenced by an increasing number of market participants bridging their assets from other blockchains to Solana.

What’s driving the hike in liquidity inflows in Solana?

An increase in stablecoin supply, coupled by a surge in TVL. 


Solana’s [SOL] market outlook has remained positive lately, with the crypto attempting to surpass its September high of $253 at the time of writing.

On-chain activity will likely remain a major driver of this potential breakout, particularly as overall usage continues to grow. In fact, AMBCrypto’s analysis revealed that a rally could be incoming soon. Here’s what you should know…

Liquidity inflow spikes across the market

There has been a sharp increase in liquidity inflows into the Solana market on a month-over-month basis.

Total Value Locked (TVL), for instance, highlighted a steady growth in deposits into Solana-based protocols. Here, it’s worth pointing out that the TVL measures the total value of assets locked in protocols to earn rewards.

Such a consistent uptick could be a sign that more users are committing capital, reflecting a strong belief in the long-term potential of SOL. In September alone, Solana saw an additional $1.1 billion in inflows on-chain.

In fact, since March, around $5.9 billion has been added to the network according to DeFiLlama.

Stablecoin supply on Solana has also grown notably, further boosting liquidity and usage. In the last 7 days alone, $1.445 billion worth of stablecoins were added. From its June low of $10.47 billion, the supply has since risen by $4.42 billion, pushing the total above $14.8 billion.

These inflows point to stronger demand and a more optimistic long-term outlook for SOL.

Volume surge on exchanges

Exchange activity also seemed to reflect this trend of rising usage.

For example – In the last 30 days, Solana outperformed all other blockchains by recording figures of $125.62 billion in trading volume.

A bulk of this activity came from decentralized exchanges (DEXs). In particular, perpetual exchanges contributed $43.61 billion in volume, underscoring the rapid growth of derivative markets on Solana.

According to DeFiLlama, the trading volume across DEXs in September was the highest since January 2025 – Another sign of expanding on-chain engagement.

Investors shifting to Solana

Beyond liquidity and trading volumes, investor behavior also appeared to hint at stronger confidence in Solana. Many market participants are now bridging their assets from other blockchains to Solana, further expanding the network.

Bridge Netflow data revealed that after dropping to a low of $23.29 billion in March, net inflows rebounded sharply – Hitting $44.03 billion at press time.

Such a shift implies that more investors are seeing Solana as an asset worth accumulating. It’s a sign of confidence in Solana’s long-term trajectory and the potential for further price appreciation.
