Solana DeFi & dApps Growth in 2026
There was a time when $SOL reached $294, and everyone was excited on-chain activity was booming, and hype was everywhere. But then the price started to drop, and the trend didn?t last.
Now, Solana has started 2026 strong. Investors and users are both active. Solana ETFs, which launched in late 2025, have already passed $1 billion in assets, with big daily inflows. Major companies like Morgan Stanley and State Street are getting involved. The network looks healthy, with more users and growing DeFi activity, which is now around $9 billion.
The Solana ecosystem is expanding with new privacy projects, real-world assets, and apps for everyday use, like Solana Mobile. While SOL is holding steady around $120?$130, it could go up to $160?$180 in early 2026. Some long-term forecasts even suggest $170?$300+. I?m hoping it grows, and I?m trying to accumulate more through Bit get?s Crazy 48h event?they?re in Phase 18 now, which is my last chance to buy.
Where do you think Solana will end Q1?
