From Frenzy to Chill: Solana Falls Below $80, Meme Narrative Recedes

Foresight News reports that Solana (SOL) has experienced a significant downturn, falling below $80 and hitting a low of $67 in early February—its lowest point since December 2023. The token has declined for five consecutive months, with a peak drop of over 71% from its October 2025 high. Key NFT projects like Mad Lads also saw major devaluations. During the bull market, SOL rose dramatically from $8 to $295, fueled largely by meme coin mania on platforms like Pump.fun. Meme activity, including tokens like Dogwifhat and Bonk, drove high engagement, further amplified by Donald Trump’s token launch on Solana. However, the meme trend has since cooled, with trading volume on Pump.fun dropping to one-sixth of its peak. Attention and capital have partially shifted to BNB Chain, where meme platforms gained traction in late 2025. Solana also faces growing competition from other blockchains. Ethereum’s upgrades have improved its scalability and reduced fees, narrowing Solana’s speed advantage. Base chain has also grown, attracting users with AI-related tokens. Additionally, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization remains dominated by Ethereum, limiting Solana’s expansion in that sector. Despite earlier support from corporate digital asset treasuries (DATs)—which bought SOL as treasury assets—the overall bear market and declining confidence have outweighed buy-side pressure. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have also seen significant price drops recently. Solana’s co-founder has openly sought community feedback on the network’s challenges, which include over-reliance on meme culture and lack of diverse, perceived utility beyond speculative assets.

Meme Fading, Narrative Cooling: Falling Below $80, Has Solana's Cycle Dividend Ended?

Solana (SOL) has experienced a significant downturn, with its token price dropping to a low of $67 in early February 2026, down over 71% from its October 2025 peak of $295. Currently trading around $80, SOL has been declining for five consecutive months. The NFT market on Solana, exemplified by Mad Lads, has also suffered, with floor prices collapsing from over $40,000 to around $1,760. The decline is largely attributed to the cooling of the Meme coin frenzy that previously drove Solana's growth. Platforms like Pump.fun saw weekly trading volumes plummet from over $3 billion to around $500 million. Meanwhile, competitors like BNB Chain gained traction with meme platforms such as Four.Meme, diverting attention and capital away from Solana. Broader narratives around high-throughput blockchains have also weakened. Ethereum's Fusaka and upcoming Glamsterdam upgrades have significantly improved its scalability and reduced fees, diminishing Solana's technical advantages. Additionally, Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, dominated by Ethereum with $149 billion in assets compared to Solana's $17 billion, has further marginalized Solana's ecosystem. Despite earlier support from corporate Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) that purchased SOL, the ongoing bear market has overwhelmed this buy-side pressure. Companies like Forward Industries face massive unrealized losses on their SOL holdings. With declining user engagement beyond meme culture and intensified competition, Solana confronts significant challenges in regaining its momentum.
