Solana price prediction: Why analysts see more upside for SOL

  • Solana (SOL) is up 18.5% over the past 30 days.
  • Analysts are watching the $85–$90 resistance zone.
  • B3 futures and FullSend add to Solana’s momentum.

Solana has regained momentum after a difficult stretch earlier this year, with the token climbing back above the $77 mark and extending its monthly recovery.

At the time of writing, SOL is trading at $77.73, up 0.8% over the past 24 hours after moving between $76.25 and $78.62 during the session.

Over the past month, the cryptocurrency has gained 18.5%, while its two-week performance stands at 21.6%.

The recent recovery has renewed interest in Solana’s outlook, particularly as technical indicators, institutional activity, and network developments begin to align.

While the token remains well below its all-time high of $293.31, several analysts believe the current trend has created room for further upside if key resistance levels are cleared.

Technical picture points to key breakout levels

SOL’s latest rally follows a rebound of roughly 38% from its recent low near $60, bringing renewed attention to the asset’s technical structure.

The recovery also marked Solana’s first positive monthly performance in several months, suggesting that selling pressure has eased.

Market analyst Ali Martinez has identified the $85 to $90 region as an important resistance zone.

A sustained move above that range would bring the psychologically significant $100 level back into focus.

Another closely watched analyst, Michaël van de Poppe, has highlighted the importance of the $73- $76 area, describing it as a major support zone that continues to underpin the broader recovery.

According to Poppe, as long as that area remains intact, the longer-term structure remains constructive from a technical standpoint.

Attention has also shifted to Solana’s performance against Bitcoin.

The SOL/BTC trading pair has shown signs of strengthening after spending months in decline.

According to technical analysis, a breakout above the long-term resistance around 0.00140–0.00145 BTC could indicate improving relative strength for Solana compared with Bitcoin.

If that breakout is confirmed, technical projections place the next major value area between $140 and $150.

Those levels are based on historical trading activity rather than guaranteed price targets, meaning further confirmation would still be needed before the market could sustain such a move.

At the same time, focus is on the $75 to $78 range as an important near-term support area.

Holding above that zone would help preserve the current recovery, while a break below it could slow bullish momentum.

Institutional adoption continues to expand

Beyond price action, Solana has also benefited from growing institutional participation.

Brazil’s stock exchange, B3, recently expanded its regulated cryptocurrency derivatives offering by introducing Solana futures alongside Ethereum futures and Bitcoin options.

The contracts are settled in US dollars and reference Nasdaq’s digital asset benchmark prices.

Each Solana futures contract represents 5 SOL, giving professional investors another regulated instrument for gaining exposure to the asset or managing risk through hedging strategies.

B3 also reduced the size of its Bitcoin futures contracts to improve accessibility, a move that reflects broader efforts to increase participation in regulated crypto derivatives.

The expansion places Solana alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum within one of Latin America’s largest regulated exchange environments.

While derivatives products do not directly determine price direction, they typically improve market efficiency by expanding trading and hedging opportunities for institutional participants.

Recent infrastructure developments have also focused attention on Solana’s ability to support high-volume financial applications.

Privy, the wallet infrastructure provider acquired by Stripe, has partnered with Jito Labs to launch FullSend, a transaction routing system designed specifically for the Solana blockchain.

Instead of relying solely on traditional RPC infrastructure, FullSend routes transactions directly to the validator responsible for producing the next block.

According to the companies, the system has been operating in production since January and has processed millions of transactions with 99.999% landing reliability.

The technology also reduces transaction inclusion latency to approximately 50 milliseconds, compared with roughly 200 milliseconds or more under conventional routing methods.

For developers building payment platforms, trading applications, or financial services, those improvements reduce failed transactions during periods of network congestion while simplifying transaction management.

Developers using Privy’s wallet infrastructure receive these routing improvements without implementing additional software.

The announcement also highlights Privy’s growing reach following its acquisition by Stripe.

The company supports approximately 140 million accounts across applications that collectively process billions of dollars in monthly transaction volume.

The immediate focus now remains on whether buyers can push the token above the $85–$90 resistance range.

A successful breakout would place $100 at the centre of market attention, while continued strength in the SOL/BTC pair could reinforce the view that Solana is beginning to outperform Bitcoin once again.

Kresus launches crypto inheritance service for self-custody wallet users

  • Kresus launches crypto inheritance service for self-custody users.
  • Users can pass crypto to heirs without sharing private keys.
  • New tool aims to simplify digital asset legacy planning.

Kresus has launched a new inheritance planning service designed to help cryptocurrency investors securely transfer their digital assets to beneficiaries after death without sharing private keys or relying on complex recovery procedures.

The company said the new subscription-based service, called Kresus Inheritance, is built directly into its self-custody wallet and aims to address one of the biggest challenges facing crypto investors: ensuring digital assets can be passed on across generations while maintaining user control during their lifetime.

The launch comes as cryptocurrency ownership continues to grow, while concerns persist over the long-term management and inheritance of self-custodied digital assets.

Kresus introduces inheritance planning for crypto holders

Kresus said self-custody gives users full control over their cryptocurrency holdings, but the supporting infrastructure available in traditional wealth management has not kept pace.

According to the company, beneficiary designations, estate transfer mechanisms, recovery pathways and long-term planning tools remain largely absent from the self-custody ecosystem.

Existing alternatives often require users to expose sensitive information, such as writing down seed phrases or sharing private keys, creating potential security risks.

“Too much digital wealth has already been lost because there was no plan for what happens next,” said Trevor Traina, Founder and CEO of Kresus.

“Self-custody shouldn’t mean your assets disappear if something happens to you. With Kresus Inheritance, we’re giving users a secure and affordable way to protect their legacy and ensure the wealth they’ve built can be passed on to the next generation.”

The service is priced at $99.99 per year and is integrated into the Kresus wallet.

How the inheritance service works

Kresus Inheritance allows users to designate a beneficiary who can gain access to the wallet owner’s cryptocurrency holdings only after a predefined inactivity period has elapsed.

The company said private keys are never shared during the transfer process, allowing users to retain full control of their assets while they remain active.

Kresus also emphasized that it does not take custody of customer assets.

The wallet owner remains in control unless the defined inactivity period expires and the succession process is triggered.

According to the company, a user holding $50,000 in Bitcoin can designate a spouse or adult child as a beneficiary without granting them access to the assets before a verified succession event occurs.

Crypto ownership grows as inheritance concerns persist

Kresus cited a Harris Poll study estimating that 55 million US adults, or 21% of the population, now own cryptocurrency.

At the same time, the company pointed to research from the Cremation Institute, which found that 89% of crypto investors worry about what happens to their digital assets after death.

The company said Kresus Inheritance is intended to address that concern by providing users with a built-in succession planning tool before it becomes necessary.

The launch also expands Kresus’ broader wallet platform, which the company said already serves millions of self-custody wallet users through the Kresus Wallet, mini-app experiences and enterprise solutions.

Kresus said the new offering reflects its strategy of expanding beyond digital asset storage into a broader wealth management platform, with inheritance planning becoming part of the self-custody experience for cryptocurrency investors.

ARB jumps as Robinhood Chain fee-sharing strengthens long-term outlook

Key takeaways

  • Arbitrum (ARB) rebounded above $0.081 after recovering losses from earlier in the week.
  • Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder announced that 10% of fees generated by Robinhood Chain and other Arbitrum Layer 2 networks will flow back into the Arbitrum ecosystem.
  • The revenue-sharing model is expected to strengthen the DAO treasury, fund development, and enhance ARB’s long-term value.

Arbitrum (ARB) extended its recovery on Thursday, climbing above $0.081 after erasing losses recorded earlier in the week. 

The rally followed a major announcement from Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder, who revealed that a portion of transaction fees generated by Robinhood Chain and other Arbitrum Layer 2 (L2) networks will be redirected to the broader Arbitrum ecosystem.

The announcement has boosted investor confidence by highlighting a sustainable revenue model that could strengthen the network’s long-term fundamentals, while improving technical indicators suggest ARB may have room for further gains.

Robinhood Chain revenue-sharing strengthens Arbitrum ecosystem

In a post on X, Offchain Labs co-founder and Arbitrum developer Steven Goldfeder disclosed that 10% of fees collected by Robinhood Chain and every other Arbitrum Layer 2 chain are allocated back to the Arbitrum ecosystem.

According to Goldfeder, 8% of those fees are directed to the tokenholder-controlled Arbitrum DAO treasury, while the remaining 2% is used to support ongoing network development.

He also noted that 100% of fees generated on Arbitrum One continue to flow directly into the Arbitrum treasury, further reinforcing the ecosystem’s long-term funding model.

The fee-sharing mechanism is viewed as a positive development for Arbitrum because it creates an ongoing source of revenue for governance, ecosystem expansion, and developer incentives. As enterprise adoption of Layer 2 networks accelerates, the model could significantly increase the value captured by the Arbitrum ecosystem over time.

Investors responded positively to the announcement, sending ARB more than 7% higher during Thursday’s trading session.

Technical outlook improves, but key resistance remains

ARB has recovered above $0.085, reversing the losses recorded over the previous three sessions. 

However, the token still trades below several important moving averages, suggesting the broader trend has yet to turn decisively bullish.

The 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) remains well above the current price at $0.1409, underscoring the longer-term bearish structure.

Meanwhile, momentum indicators are beginning to stabilize. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is showing signs of improving momentum, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering near 50, indicating that selling pressure is easing without confirming a full bullish reversal.

The first major resistance zone sits between $0.0878 and $0.0891, where several technical barriers converge.

This area includes the 50-day EMA at $0.0878, a horizontal resistance level at $0.0883, and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.0891.

A successful breakout above this cluster could shift momentum further in favor of buyers and open the path toward the next resistance levels.

On the downside, the key support remains around $0.0705, which marks both the previous swing low and the primary Fibonacci support level.

ARB/USD 4H Chart

Holding above this area would preserve the recent recovery. However, a daily close below $0.0705 could invalidate the current rebound and expose ARB to another leg lower despite improving momentum indicators.

For now, traders will be watching whether growing ecosystem revenues and stronger investor sentiment can help ARB break above the critical $0.09 resistance zone and build a more sustained recovery.

ADA bulls eye $0.20 as Cardano founder says Ethereum is adopting its eUTXO concept

  • Cardano (ADA) remains above 10% higher despite a 24-hour pullback.
  • Hoskinson says Ethereum is adopting eUTXO-inspired ideas.
  • Focus is on the $0.20 resistance level.

Cardano is drawing renewed attention after a week of strong gains, even as the token pulled back to around $0.17.

The latest price movement comes alongside fresh debate over blockchain architecture after Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson claimed that Ethereum is beginning to adopt ideas that Cardano has championed for years through its Extended Unspent Transaction Output (eUTXO) model.

At the time of writing, ADA was trading at $0.1674, down 6.6% over the past 24 hours.

Despite the daily decline, the cryptocurrency remained 10.2% higher over the previous seven days and 12.8% higher over the last two weeks, showing that bulls have retained much of the momentum built during the recent rally.

The recent retreat has placed the spotlight on whether the token can defend the $0.17 area before attempting another move toward the next major resistance level at $0.20.

Hoskinson reignites the Cardano-Ethereum debate

The latest discussion began after Ethereum researcher Toni Wahrstätter introduced EIP-8141, also known as Frame Transactions, as part of Ethereum’s broader efforts to improve scalability and reduce long-term state growth.

The proposal explores introducing UTXO-inspired transaction mechanics for simple transfers.

According to the proposal, this approach could reduce Ethereum’s permanent state footprint for payment-related transactions by approximately 99.8%, while remaining compatible with the network’s broader roadmap.

Hoskinson responded by arguing that Cardano has already implemented similar concepts through its eUTXO accounting model.

He suggested that Ethereum is now recognising the benefits of an architecture that Cardano adopted years ago.

The Cardano founder also made headlines with his remark that “it’s literally a crime in the Ethereum inner circles to mention Cardano,” suggesting that Ethereum developers have been reluctant to acknowledge Cardano’s earlier work despite exploring comparable ideas.

ADA price holds key support as traders watch $0.20

From a technical perspective, ADA’s recent pullback has not erased the gains recorded over the past week.

Instead, focus is now on whether the cryptocurrency can continue holding support around $0.144.

The current price sits close to the lower end of the latest 24-hour trading range after the 6.6% daily decline.

However, the weekly performance remains positive, with ADA still posting a double-digit gain over the previous seven days.

The next major level attracting attention is $0.193, and a move above that level would place the focus on $0.23, another resistance area that traders have identified following the recent recovery.

Cardano continues preparing for its next network milestone

The latest market discussion also comes as the Cardano network continues infrastructure improvements ahead of its next major protocol upgrade.

Developers recently released Cardano Node 9.0.1, a recommended update for mainnet validators designed to address issues related to the network’s bootstrap process and script execution.

Rather than introducing new user-facing features, the release focuses on improving stability before the ecosystem moves toward its next hard fork.

Nexo bets big on Argentina with crypto card launch and new country chief

  • Nexo Card launches in Argentina with debit and credit modes for crypto users.
  • Andres Ondarra will lead Nexo Argentina as General Manager from August 1.
  • Buenos Aires is being positioned as Nexo’s regional hub for Latin America.

Nexo has launched its crypto debit-and-credit card in Argentina, marking a deeper push into one of Latin America’s most active digital-asset markets and placing Buenos Aires at the centre of its regional expansion strategy.

The launch comes alongside a leadership change, with Andres Ondarra appointed General Manager of Nexo Argentina.

The company said the two developments mark the next stage of its growth in the country, where digital assets have become a mainstream part of wealth management for many users.

Nexo described Argentina as a market where crypto adoption runs deeper than almost anywhere else, citing the highest share of digital-asset adoption among markets surveyed.

The company also said Argentina processed approximately $93.9 billion in digital-asset transactions over three years, ranking second in Latin America behind Brazil.

Nexo Card brings spending and borrowing utility

The Nexo Card allows clients in Argentina to use digital assets in two ways. In debit mode, users can spend their holdings directly. In credit mode, they can borrow against those assets as collateral without selling them.

The company said clients can switch between both modes through a single interface, giving users more flexibility in how they manage and use their crypto wealth.

New clients are being offered 10% back on their first swipe.

They can also receive additional cashback and milestone rewards worth up to USD 450 in total during their first three months. Nexo said users can earn up to 13% annual interest on idle in-app balances, paid daily.

The card has previously been recognised by the Digital Banker Awards, the FinTech Breakthrough Awards, and the PAY360 Awards.

“Argentine clients have spent a decade making digital assets part of how they manage wealth. The Nexo Card is built precisely for that — letting them spend in debit mode, borrow against their holdings in credit mode, and earn from every transaction, all without having to sell. It’s the freedom to live on that wealth, not just hold it,” said Andres Ondarra, incoming General Manager, Nexo Argentina.

For Nexo, the product launch is aimed at the next phase of crypto usage in Argentina.

With capital already moved into digital assets, the company is focusing on everyday utility: spending, borrowing and earning from holdings without requiring clients to sell them.

Eligible clients in Argentina can apply for the Nexo Card through the Nexo app and website.

Ondarra takes charge as Buenos Aires becomes regional hub

Ondarra will formally lead Nexo Argentina’s operations from August 1.

He brings more than 25 years of experience across traditional finance, fintech and crypto in Latin America, including a background in Wall Street investment banking.

His appointment comes as Nexo positions Buenos Aires as its regional hub for Latin America.

The company said it is investing in local infrastructure, sports partnerships, including the AFA, and a local team to support clients across the region.

Ondarra succeeds Federico Ogue, who led Nexo’s expansion in Argentina and is now moving to a new entrepreneurial venture.

“Argentina has one of the most sophisticated crypto and fintech ecosystems in the region, and the work Nexo has done here is something to be proud of. I look forward to passing the baton to Andres, who brings exactly the experience and vision to lead Nexo’s next stage of growth in Argentina,” said Ogue.
