Solana’s native token SOL is trading higher on September 25, 2026, extending a recent recovery. The price is currently in the $118–$121 range, up roughly 2–6% over the past 24 hours depending on the exchange and exact timing, after opening near $117. Intraday highs have touched around $122.

MarketWatch

This follows a strong stretch for SOL, which has gained about 14–21% over the past week and roughly 20–25% over the past month. The token remains well below its January 2025 all-time high near $295 but has rebounded solidly from recent lows.

Key drivers behind today’s move include fresh leadership appointments at the Solana Foundation. Rachel Conlan, former global CMO of Binance, joined as Chief Strategy Officer, and Jamal Raees (from Polygon Labs) was named General Manager of Payments. These hires signal a clear push toward greater institutional adoption and payments infrastructur.

Supporting the price action is healthy on-chain activity: elevated DEX trading volumes, growing daily active users, rising stable coin usage, and continued inflows into Solana-focused ETFs. Broader crypto market strength has also helped.

SOL continues to show resilience thanks to its high-throughput network and expanding ecosystem. As always with crypto, prices remain volatile—watch key levels near $115 support and $120–$122 resistance for the next directional cues.
