Solana Price Stagnant Despite Institutional Investment, Alpenglow Upgrade Looms
Despite ongoing institutional investment in Solana, the cryptocurrency's price has been stagnant for months. In fact, it has posted ten consecutive monthly losses, falling from almost $296 at the start of 2025 to its current price of around $73.
This decline has not deterred investors, however, with spot Solana ETFs attracting a cumulative $1.45 billion in inflows and Morgan Stanley's new MSOL ETF pulling in $19.06 million on its first trading day.
The upcoming Alpenglow upgrade, which is expected to improve network performance by reducing transaction finality times to 150 milliseconds, may provide a catalyst for Solana's price to recover.
