Solana Ecosystem

Research Brief · 20 May 2026 Through research on the following hot topics: Solana DEX futures hit a record $20 billion weekly volume, PumpFun resumed SOL sales after a 9-month pause, and the token ATRUMP launched on Solana. Market overview shows BTC at $76,800 and SOL at $86, with liquidations and mixed sentiment. My take: The record futures volume signals growing institutional interest, but PumpFun dumping SOL again raises red flags about insider profit-taking. The ATRUMP launch feels like a hype play, not sustainable. Prediction: Solana will likely see short-term volatility, with a potential recovery in the second half of 2026 as macro conditions ease, but expect more rug pulls and sell-offs. Public sentiment is cautious but hopeful, with many expecting a bullish bounce despite current fear.
