People keep calling both of them “demand.”
Goldman’s CEO David Solomon recently said prediction markets are “super interesting,” and mentioned meeting “two big prediction companies” in the last two weeks.
Robinhood’s CEO called prediction markets the firm’s “fastest-growing business of all time.”
a16z put it even more plainly: “Prediction markets have already gone mainstream.”
That’s not crypto Twitter hype. That’s mainstream finance treating event contracts as a real product category.

Now look at what’s happening on Solana. Kalshi says “Tokenization is the endgame,” and it brought tokenized predictions to Solana via Jupiter and DFlow. The implication is simple: once a bet becomes a token, it stops being a bet. It becomes an instrument — something you can trade, route, bundle, and potentially use inside DeFi like any other leg of risk.
This is where the easy story (“more products, more volume = stronger chain”) starts to mislead.
Some of what’s growing isn’t usage in the everyday sense. It’s the market’s ability to trade uncertainty.

Wintermute’s summary adds a useful contrast: liquidity has been drifting toward stocks, AI, and prediction markets, while digital assets have lagged — and even in that framing, the next leg depends on renewed inflows into crypto ETFs and DAT.
In other words: the marginal dollar may be chasing places where uncertainty is priced cleanly, while crypto waits for wrapper flows (ETFs) to turn back on.

So you get two forces rising at the same time, but they’re not the same thing:
 • Exposure demand: people want SOL risk in a portfolio wrapper. That’s a “hold.”
 • Probability demand: people want tradable event distributions. That’s a “trade.”
Both can pump activity. Only one reliably turns into lasting network utility.

A few consequences that don’t show up in the headlines:
 • SOL can look fine on price while market quality changes underneath.
If more risk expression shifts into event tokens and structured probability trades, the ecosystem can feel “busier” while spot depth becomes more regime-sensitive (stable in calm, thin in stress).
 • Markets start moving on probability repricing, not on news.
When event markets are liquid, the big adjustment often happens before resolution. After the event, you’re mostly watching positions unwind, not “new information.”
 • Hedging becomes event-native.
Instead of hedging SOL with price tools only, traders hedge outcomes. That’s when funding/vol signals can stop matching what spot traders think they’re seeing.
 • Regulation stops being a footnote.

Solomon explicitly pointed at the “regulatory structure” around prediction markets. A regulated event venue that tokenizes contracts onto Solana is not the same thing as “DeFi betting.” It changes who can participate, how capital shows up, and how it’s allowed to move.

And that leaves the only question that matters — without pretending we know the answer:
Is Solana getting stronger as a network, or is it being financialized as a surface for trading uncertainty — where “growth” mainly means more probability turnover?

A/B — pick the regime:
A) Convergence: event markets deepen liquidity and improve price discovery for SOL itself.
B) Divergence: event markets pull risk budgets into probability trading, and SOL becomes a better uncertainty venue than a stronger network.

One clean, observable test (no narrative): what single onchain-visible sign would you use to tell A from B on Solana?

Solana is back in the spotlight. Currently trading at $144.90, the token has gained 1.8% in 24 hours and is up more than 6.5% over the week, with a remarkable 21% increase over the past month. For anyone watching Layer 1 ecosystems, SOL’s strength is impossible to ignore—it’s not just recovering; it’s asserting itself as a hub for real adoption and cross-chain activity.
Technically, SOL sits in a neutral-to-bullish zone. The RSI at 58 shows room to run before hitting overbought levels, while the MACD bullish crossover signals the trend has momentum. Immediate resistance is at $148.61, with a psychological barrier at $150, a level that, if broken, could pave the way toward a $172 target. Support is solid at $140–$137, giving traders potential entry zones for those looking to ride the trend with measured risk.
What makes this rally especially interesting is the infrastructure and adoption story behind it. Solana has captured 67.8% of weekly cross-chain token flows via LayerZero and Wormhole ZK upgrades, making it one of the most interconnected blockchains in the market. That interoperability is a magnet for projects and institutional players alike. On top of that, SPL Token Extensions (Token-2022) have brought regulated issuers like Paxos to the network, enabling Confidential Transfers that meet institutional compliance standards—a feature that’s increasingly important for large-scale adoption.
Real-world adoption is also gaining traction. Western Union has selected Solana for stablecoin remittances, while the network’s Real-World Asset (RWA) TVL now exceeds $873 million. These numbers aren’t just eye-catching—they signal that Solana is starting to function like a decentralized NASDAQ, capable of handling real financial infrastructure at scale. With the Alpenglow roadmap, throughput is expected to surpass 1 million transactions per second, a technical milestone that could make Solana a go-to network for high-volume, compliant transactions.
Traders and users are also engaging directly with the ecosystem. Binance is running a “Register, Trade and Earn SOL” competition with a $5,000 reward pool in SOL tokens. Campaigns like this not only increase trading volume but also strengthen the community and create opportunities for participation at all levels, from casual traders to institutional entrants.
Looking ahead, the technical and fundamental factors align nicely. If SOL can hold support around $140–$144 and break the $150 resistance, the next leg up could be significant. Even with broader market volatility, the combination of strong network upgrades, institutional adoption, and cross-chain dominance provides a compelling narrative for both traders and long-term holders.
In short, Solana is not just climbing on charts—it’s climbing in relevance. Its ability to combine speed, interoperability, and compliance-ready infrastructure positions it uniquely in the crypto landscape. For anyone paying attention, SOL is a token that reflects both technical promise and real-world utility, making this more than a short-term rally—it’s part of a bigger story about where blockchain networks are heading in 2026.
