Cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Solana validators are voting on three governance proposals to reshape the network's token supply and economic rules. Two measures focus on reducing issuance and increasing burns, while a third establishes the governance framework. SGP-0002 proposes cutting the annual SOL issuance rate by 30% instead of 15%, currently holding 68.77% support with 47.72% of network stake participating. Current data indicates mixed support across the measures, with one supply proposal narrowly exceeding the required threshold.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SOL, measured when this story was written up on 28 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Solana is trading at $109.14 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 53.7%, indicating that buyers have controlled the majority of volume over the last day. However, short-term momentum shows signs of weakening, as the 1-hour buy ratio dropped to 38.9% compared to the 51.2% seen in the 4-hour window. This shift suggests that immediate buying pressure is fading relative to the broader daily trend. Volume delta reflects this dynamic, showing a net outflow of -$2,458,681 in the last hour versus a net inflow of +$963,116 over four hours. The buy ratio represents the percentage of total volume executed by buyers, while volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume, indicating whether more capital is entering or leaving the market.
The latest daily buy ratio of 48.8% sits at the 27th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 50.0% - weaker buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What SOL did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SOL, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, Solana experienced consistent bullish activity, with net buying occurring on all seven days. The 7-day average buy ratio stood at 52.5%, slightly higher than the latest day's performance by 1.2 points. Trading volume was 1.24 times the average, contributing to an 8-day price increase of 24.5%. Total volume delta for the week reached +$193,216,755, confirming sustained accumulation. This represents an unusually strong period of buying activity compared to typical daily baselines.
