Solana’s Stablecoin Market Cap Skyrockets 69% in One Week: How Will This Affect Investors?

• $3B stablecoin inflows pushed Solana’s total holdings to $9.8B in days.
• DEX trading volumes hit $39.2B, smashing records amid meme coin-driven activity.
• Analyst predicts SOL price could 12.9x to $3,300, citing Trump’s crypto influence.

The Solana blockchain has been buzzing with activity, fueled by an unexpected meme coin mania surrounding the TRUMP and MELANIA tokens. This surge in activity has catapulted stablecoin inflows, trading volumes, and market attention to new heights, signaling Solana’s expanding role in the crypto ecosystem.

Massive Stablecoin Inflows: $3 Billion in Three Days

In just three days, Solana’s total stablecoin holdings skyrocketed by $3 billion, climbing from $6.1 billion on January 17 to $9.8 billion.

• Stablecoins like USDT and USDC saw massive demand as meme coin trading pairs exploded in popularity.
• USDT holdings hit $1.6 billion, while USDC surged to $7.7 billion—a more than 50% jump in both cases.

These inflows highlight growing adoption of stablecoins and Solana’s expanding role in the meme coin and DeFi sectors.

Network Growth: Record-Breaking Metrics

Solana’s on-chain indicators are lighting up across the board, reflecting significant growth:

• The network’s total value locked (TVL) crossed the $10 billion mark, a first since the FTX collapse shook the ecosystem.
• Over the weekend, DEX trading volumes shattered records, hitting $28.2 billion on Saturday and a jaw-dropping $39.2 billion on Sunday.

Analysts credit this explosive activity to the meme coin craze and Solana’s scalability, attracting more developers and users.

SOL Price Predictions: Wild Speculation or Reality?

While SOL trades at $240 (down 5.6%), bullish predictions from analysts like Kook Capital have captured market attention:

• Kook claims Solana’s price could 12.9x to $3,300 within three months.
• Speculation points to a potential Solana ETF or reserve assets in the works, allegedly influenced by Donald Trump’s impact on crypto markets.

The next few months could define whether Solana can turn this frenzied interest into sustained growth. With its efficient infrastructure and growing ecosystem, the stage is set for dramatic developments ahead.
