The Solana (SOL) network hit a record high in sales in the first quarter of 2026, reaching a new all-time high (ATH).
For the first time since the beginning of Solana blockchain, its movements in the quarter rose above 10 billion, reaching 10.1 billion, according to metrics shared with Artemiscrypto analytics and data platform, on April 1. In the same way, online activity increased by almost 50% from the fourth quarter of 2025.
Since FTX’s crypto creation, Solana’s quarterly volume has increased, showing organic adoption. In addition, the chain ended on March 30, 2026, with 2.4 million users, according to to Token Terminal.
Why the Solana quarter events at ATH?
The main reason Solana’s quarterly performance reached ATH in the first three months of 2026 was its popularity in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem and Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization. For example, Solana’s monthly stablecoin volume reached $650 billion in February 2026, roughly tripling month-on-month, according to analysis shared with Kobeissi’s letter.
Among these developments, institutional investors have been interested in using SOL for stablecoins, especially following the implementation of the Genius Act in the United States. For example, B2C2, a cryptocurrency financing and trading company, chose Solana as its first stablecoin network.
“Solana has found its place as the foundation of the economy. We are supporting real mobility here because it offers the things our customers need – speed, reliability, and scale. This is where sustainability is going,” CEO of B2C2 Group Thomas Restout he said.
With the significant rise in SOL, fueled by institutionalization through market capitalization, the quarterly performance is well positioned to reach a new record in the second quarter of 2026.
