Solana Price Near $97 as Pepeto Presale Sells Out
Solana (SOL)
www.manilatimes.net reports that Solana trades near $97 following a 27% weekly jump, with Standard Chartered predicting a $250 price for 2026. The outlet highlights that spot Solana ETFs have seen over $1.12 billion in inflows, supporting the asset's recovery. Concurrently, the Pepeto presale announced a record-fast sellout, driven by whale wallets accumulating during the fear phase. Pepeto has collected $10.7 million and offers zero-fee trading, AI contract checks, and 168% APY staking. The report contrasts Solana's potential 2.6x upside with the higher multiples historically seen in Ethereum-based meme coins. It suggests that while Solana builds a base, capital is rotating toward presales like Pepeto for greater gains. The article notes that Pepeto aims for a Tier-1 Binance listing as its next major milestone.

Solana exhibits strong buying pressure on Binance, with a 1-hour buy ratio of 61.0% significantly outpacing the 24-hour average of 53.8%. This indicates that aggressive accumulation is accelerating in the short term rather than fading. The 1-hour volume delta of +$6,610,296 is positive and substantial, reflecting immediate demand that exceeds the 4-hour delta of +$2,781,922. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) stands at +$38,163,079 for the 24-hour period, confirming that buyers have dominated the session for 18 out of 24 hours. The high buy ratio combined with positive volume deltas suggests that institutional and retail interest is driving the price near the $100 level.
