Solana transaction activity reached a monthly record of 4.2 billion in July, highlighting a sharp increase in network usage as SOL recovered above $100. July saw an increase of 13.5% compared to June and 91% against December 2025, while SOL itself gained around 40% over eight days during the recovery.
The record level of transactions on Solana was reported by The Kobeissi Letter on August 25, where it was noted that the network has broken every single one of its monthly transaction records. Solana has added almost 2 billion monthly transactions since December, which shows that the activity continues to increase and is not limited to one period.
Network usage remains strong in August. Solana saw 1.32 billion non-vote transactions over the week from August 17 to August 23, setting a new seven-day record for the network. Solana’s price is currently around $96.73, according to recent market data, down from its recent highs.

Solana Transaction Activity Drives DeFi Growth
Other metrics show the same trend of increased activity. DefiLlama data indicated 109 million transactions and 2.7 million active addresses during the day ending on August 25. At the same time, decentralized exchange volume on Solana transaction reached almost $20.14 billion over seven days, growing by 103% compared to the previous week.
Solana stablecoins market expands alongside transaction activity. Currently, the stablecoin supply on Solana is almost $15.94 billion, with USDC comprising 44.95% of the total amount. Higher liquidity levels of stablecoins can be useful for DeFi activity as they provide users with more capital for usage on different applications on the network.
The growth extends beyond DeFi and trading. RWA.xyz reported that Solana’s distributed real-world asset value reached nearly $3.97 billion on August 25, increasing 11.81% over 30 days. The platform tracked 1,243 assets, while Solana’s RWA value had stood at approximately $3.73 billion at the end of July.
SOL Reclaims $100 Amid Broader Market Recovery
The expansion of tokenized assets adds another dimension to Solana’s recent growth. RWA.xyz data showed the network added roughly $240 million in distributed RWA value between the end of July and August 25. Across tracked blockchains, distributed RWA value reached $38.18 billion, with tokenized U.S. government debt representing approximately $15.64 billion.
Solana’s stronger on-chain metrics have emerged as SOL regained the $100 level for the first time since February. The token’s roughly 40% eight-day advance occurred alongside broader demand for risk assets and expectations surrounding U.S. Treasury buyback activity. The market response has placed renewed attention on whether network usage can support the recovery.
For users, developers and investors, the latest Solana transaction figures indicate that blockchain activity is broadening across payments, DeFi and tokenized assets. The key development to watch is whether elevated transaction volumes, decentralized exchange activity and RWA growth remain consistent. Sustained usage could provide a stronger fundamental backdrop for Solana as market conditions evolve.
