SOL rallies as Solana memecoins, prediction market activity surge: Are bulls back?

Solana has experienced a significant price rally, reaching its highest point in over 30 days at $83, driven by a combination of memecoin activity and increased tokenized asset volume. Cumulative tokenized stock transfers on the Solana network have surpassed $10 billion, bolstered by the trading of SpaceX shares via Backpack. Total tokenized assets on Solana reached a record $3.5 billion, reflecting growth in corporate credit tokens and indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100. Data from RWA.xyz indicates that Solana currently leads the industry with 294,274 active addresses, outpacing Ethereum. Despite this growth, investor sentiment remains cautious regarding a sustained rally toward $90, as SOL futures funding rates have declined from 11% to 3%. The network is also expanding into prediction markets through integrations with Phantom wallet and Jupiter to compete with platforms like Polymarket. This surge in activity highlights Solana's growing role as a hub for both speculative memecoin trading and institutional-grade tokenized financial products.
