$SOL CONTINUE WITH FORCE AND SOLANA NETWORK—IT BECOMES EVEN MORE AGILE
$SOL just closed the most active quarter in its history, and the price barely moved.
There were 14.2 billion real transactions in Q3, not counting the validators’ vote—45% more than in the previous quarter.
In the same period, U.S. spot SOL ETFs pulled in about $188 million in a single week, and more than 90 banks in North Dakota are already settling dollars on the network through the Roughrider Coin.
$SOL remains near $120.
Also, the Solana Network is shortening the time until a transaction becomes irreversible. Alpenglow, the consensus that replaces TowerBFT, reached a median finalization time of 54 ms on the testnet—the target was 100–150 ms, and mainnet is still around 12.8 seconds. The block interval has already dropped to 250 ms on the main network. This is the kind of finality brokers and banks demand to treat the chain as a settlement rail—not just as a meme network.
