Solana Posts Best Weekly Performance in 2026, But Can Momentum Last?

Solana has experienced its strongest weekly performance of 2026 with a 13% increase in price over the past week. This significant growth can be attributed to the blockchain's strong network fundamentals and increased trading activity.

The total economic activity processed by Solana during Q1 2026 reached $1.1 trillion, marking the first time it crossed the trillion-dollar mark in a single quarter. Additionally, daily active users climbed to 4.6 million, while stablecoin transfer volume reached $832.7 billion this quarter.

The Alpenglow upgrade, which aims to improve Solana's speed and reliability, has also contributed to investor confidence and fueled SOL's best week of the year.
