The most important news and updates regarding currency $SOL
The Alpenglow Upgrade: Investors are anticipating the launch of the planned Alpenglow update in this quarter (Q1 2026). The update aims to increase the network speed from 65,000 to 107,000 transactions per second (TPS) and reduce operating costs for validators, which could enhance the network's competitiveness.
Whale Movements: Strategic accumulation has recently been observed, with one major investor purchasing over 121,000 SOL units (worth more than $10 million) in late February, reflecting the confidence of some institutions despite the price decline.
Network Activity: Reports indicate a decline in trading volume on Solana's decentralized exchanges (DEX) by nearly 60%, coinciding with a decrease in momentum in the meme coins sector, which was a key driver for the network in 2025.
