Solana's native token SOL retreated about 11% after facing resistance at $93, with recent performance significantly weaker than the market, testing the $80 support level multiple times. Network fees have declined for two consecutive months, dropping to $18.5 million in March, mainly influenced by DEX trading volume. The current total value locked (TVL) is approximately $6.3 billion, noticeably lagging behind Ethereum.

ME News update, April 1 (UTC+8), After the Solana-native token SOL encountered resistance at $93 last Wednesday, it pulled back by about 11%. In recent days, its performance has been clearly weaker than the overall crypto market, and it has repeatedly tested the $80 support level. At the same time, Solana network fees have been declining for the past two months, and the market worries that its price may further retest the $75 level. In addition, in March, Solana network fees fell to $18.5 million, down 42% from January’s $30 million, mainly due to a contraction in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume. Data shows that Solana DEX trading volume fell to $55.5 billion, the lowest level since September 2024. Solana’s current total value locked (TVL) is about $6.3 billion, still significantly behind Ethereum’s $54.1 billion. However, in the past 30 days, Solana network fees have remained more than 80% higher, mainly because Ethereum has reduced mainnet fees through Layer2 Rollup and data Blob mechanisms.
