An analysis of blockchain data reveals that a major cryptocurrency investor has significantly reduced their Solana (SOL) holdings this year.
The investor began their sell-off on January 15 and has since offloaded a total of 614,000 SOL, valued at approximately $89 million, across platforms such as Coinbase, OKX, and Binance.
The sales have occurred at a steady pace, averaging one transaction per week. Recent on-chain data also indicates that around 100,000 SOL was recently withdrawn from staking services before being moved to these exchanges.
According to a recent report by CoinShares, Solana has experienced significant outflows from institutional crypto investment products, with $39 million leaving the platform last week alone.
This marks the largest recorded outflow, attributed to a decline in trading volumes of meme-based tokens, which are a major part of Solana’s ecosystem.
A fresh wave of speculation has hit the crypto market following a hefty stablecoin issuance by Tether, which quietly minted $1 billion worth of USDT on the Tron network earlier today.
Binance is adding more firepower to its Spot trading platform, announcing fresh USDC trading pairs and expanded support for auto-trading features set to go live on April 22.
The XRP network is flashing early warning signs, with a steep drop in newly created wallet addresses raising concerns about fading interest.
Solana kicked off 2025 with an impressive revenue milestone, pulling in $369.5 million in just the first quarter—half of what it earned over the entire previous year.
