Solana price hovered around $87 as institutional demand for Solana ETFs continued to grow, with new filings showing about 30 institutions holding roughly $540 million in Solana ETFs, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart.
- Around 30 institutional investors have accumulated roughly $540 million in Solana ETF exposure, led by firms like Electric Capital and Goldman Sachs.
- Solana is currently trading near $87, consolidating within an $80–$90 range after a prolonged downtrend earlier this year.
- Technical indicators suggest selling pressure is easing, with a breakout above $90–$95 resistance potentially opening the door toward the $100 level.
The breakdown of 13F filings shows a mix of crypto-native funds, market makers and major Wall Street firms participating in the products. Venture firm Electric Capital Partners led with about $137.8 million in exposure, followed by Goldman Sachs with roughly $107.4 million.

Other notable buyers include Elequin Capital, SIG Holding, Multicoin Capital, Morgan Stanley, and VanEck Associates.
The filings suggest growing institutional conviction in Solana ($SOL) despite significant volatility since the ETF products launched. Analysts note that roughly half of ETF holders can already be identified through filings, a relatively high transparency level for such young crypto ETFs.
Institutional inflows have also coincided with renewed network activity and strong trading volumes across the Solana ecosystem.
Solana price analysis
Based on the attached daily chart, $SOL is currently trading around $87, showing a modest recovery after weeks of sideways consolidation.
The chart shows that Solana has been in a prolonged downtrend since January, forming a series of lower highs before stabilizing in early February. After falling sharply from above $130 earlier in the year, the asset appears to be building a base between $80 and $90.
This range aligns with broader market observations showing Solana consolidating between roughly $76 and $90 for more than a month, with buyers consistently stepping in near the lower boundary.
Key support levels
- $80 – $82: Immediate support zone where buyers repeatedly defended the price.
- $75 – $76: Secondary support if the current floor breaks.
- $70 region: Major psychological support during broader market corrections.
Key resistance levels
- $90: Strong near-term resistance and the top of the current consolidation range.
- $95 – $100: Next breakout target if momentum strengthens.
The Accumulation/Distribution line on the chart is flattening, suggesting selling pressure has slowed and that investors may be gradually accumulating during the consolidation phase.
Meanwhile, the 50-day moving average sits near $94, acting as dynamic resistance. A decisive break above this level would likely confirm a short-term bullish reversal.
If institutional ETF demand continues to build and $SOL breaks above $90–$95, analysts see a potential move toward the $100–$105 region in the near term.
However, failure to hold the $80 support zone could invalidate the recovery attempt and expose Solana to another decline toward the mid-$70 range.
