The context: a late-August run
The weekly gain was small next to what came just before it. SOL's daily snapshots read $77.00 on 19 August, $85.33 on 20 August, $93.69 on 22 August and $109.18 on 28 August, the highest daily snapshot of that period. By 31 August it had fallen back to $101.68. In the first week of September it held most of that gain without making a new high.
Wrapped SOL is not a separate asset
Some dashboards report "Wrapped SOL" figures instead of SOL. Wrapped SOL is native SOL held in a token account so that programs can treat it like any other token. According to the Solana Program Library token documentation, these accounts belong to the "Native Mint", address So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Transfers between wrapped accounts move the same amount of SOL. The SOL can only be recovered by closing the token account. The same documentation says "the Native Mint supply will always report 0, regardless of how much SOL is currently wrapped". Supply or holder counts quoted for wrapped SOL therefore do not measure SOL's own supply or ownership.
What happened next
- Price, 25 October 2026: $101.66 (07:52 UTC), with a market capitalisation of $59.95 billion. That is 1.9% down over seven days and 12.5% down over 30 days (CoinGecko). Daily snapshots show the price rose above the 7 September level in late September and October before slipping back.
- Alpenglow consensus upgrade: Developer Anza posted on X on 20 October 2026 that Alpenglow would go live on mainnet-beta on 21 October at about 14:00 UTC, at migration slot 459,653,000, replacing TowerBFT (reported by Solana Compass). Coinacademy reported that it entered service on 21 October at that slot. Only Votor, the voting component, was activated; Rotor, which handles block propagation, has no confirmed date. According to Anza, cited in the same report, finality falls from about 12.8 seconds to about 150 milliseconds.
