$SOL (Solana) just broke out of its downtrend, +17% this week - and it's backed by real flow, not just hype.
Why it matters: Solana ETFs crossed $1.16B in cumulative inflows on a 7-week inflow streak. The Agave v4.2 upgrade is pushing block times toward 200ms, and the validator stake requirement just dropped ~90% (4,850 â 450 SOL), broadening decentralization on a chain that already handles 65% of all on-chain crypto activity with under 3% of total market cap.
