Solana

Institutional inflows into crypto exchange-traded products rebounded on January 14, 2026, led by spot Bitcoin ETFs with $840.6 million in net additions. Ethereum funds drew $175.1 million, Solana $23.6 million, and XRP $4.91 million, with allocations spread across several issuers. BlackRock IBIT captured more than $648 million, while outflows from higher-fee legacy products stayed limited.

On January 14, 2026, BonkFun announced a BONK Classic launch format on Solana with zero creator fees and a 0.30% swap fee, largely funneled back into liquidity. The move comes as Pump.fun regains dominance in meme coin issuance and as both platforms revamp fee structures while BONK trades near $0.000012 after a double‑digit volume jump.

On January 14, 2026, Oobit announced native Phantom Wallet support for real-world crypto payments at Visa-enabled merchants, live in 80+ countries. The integration lets 15M Phantom users pay directly from self-custodied wallets without pre-funding or bridging, with Oobit's DePay layer converting crypto to local currency at the point of sale.

Broad gains extended the cryptocurrency rally, lifting total market capitalization back above $3.2 trillion. According to market data, the value reached roughly $3.28 trillion with a daily increase of more than four percent as Bitcoin traded near $96,900 and Ethereum advanced toward $3,350. Bitcoin dominance stayed close to 59 percent, while altcoins showed participation without a full rotation.

Solana is trading around $144.52 after climbing from $141.30 to an intraday high of $147.31, while historical data show the token has averaged 52.3% growth in January. If this pattern repeats and SOL reaches that average gain from its current level, its price could approach $219, with recent $8 billion growth in open interest and institutional ETF demand adding to the bullish outlook.

Bitcoin surged to a two-month high above $96,000 on January 14 after U.S. inflation data met expectations, easing fears of tighter Federal Reserve policy. The CPI-driven rally triggered large short liquidations, strengthened Bitcoin’s technical structure, and sparked broad gains across altcoins, with privacy coins and memecoins leading market rotation.

Solana’s price recently traded around $140 as it broke out of a multi-month descending channel, putting the $145 resistance level in focus. While weekly new wallets have fallen from 30.2 million in November to about 7.3 million, negative exchange netflows, rising funding rates and higher short liquidations suggest traders are positioning for further upside. This mix of cooling network growth and strong speculative interest now places buyers in control as they watch whether SOL can convincingly clear $145.

Solana is expected to gain direct integration with X via Smart Cashtags, giving SOL-linked assets visibility on a platform with hundreds of millions of users. Technical analysis points to a potential breakout from a year-long descending triangle, with key resistance near $145 and a critical level around $210 that could open the way toward $500 and possibly $1,000.

On January 12, 2026, automated trading bot platform Trojan introduced a Solana-based trading terminal that integrates MetaMask as its native wallet. The new terminal, branded as the Trojan on Solana Bot, targets millions of existing users with features like lightning-fast execution, custom routing, copy trading, and auto-selling. With support for Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin via MetaMask, the platform aims to enhance the trading experience and draw in users from multiple blockchains.

On January 12, Solana traded around $139.98 while broader crypto markets turned red. The price hovered near local support at $139.05, with short‑term charts suggesting a possible move toward $138 and daily signals pointing to a $130–$135 test if the candle closes weak. In the midterm, attention centers on the $144.80 level, as a close above it could open the way to the $150–$160 range before the end of the month.
