Israel launched a strike against Iran on Saturday morning local time. The U.S. participated in the attack, according to AP sources. Bitcoin dropped nearly 5% in minutes, falling toward $60,000, and the sell-off hit altcoins including SOL.

Despite the price drop, Solana’s network numbers remain strong. Over the past 30 days, Solana processed $108 billion in DEX volume, ahead of Ethereum’s $63.7 billion and Base’s $31.48 billion.

In the last 24 hours, Solana generated $3.1 million in app revenue versus Ethereum’s $2.95 million. Active addresses on Solana stood at 2.17 million, compared to Ethereum’s 682,236.

Solana’s real-world asset (RWA) sector has reached an all-time high of $1.71 billion, up 45% in 30 days.

SOL ETF Flows Hold Steady

Spot SOL ETFs launched in late October 2025 and pulled in over $100 million in average net inflows during their first five weeks. Weekly inflows have since slowed to $20–$25 million as the price declined.

Cumulative outflows across the four-month drawdown total just $11.3 million over two weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, by contrast, logged four consecutive months of negative flows in the same period.

Solana is currently trading well below the $188 level seen at the time of its ETF launch.

Key Support Levels to Watch

Analyst Ali Martinez pointed to a Parallel Channel forming on SOL’s weekly chart. Based on this pattern, support levels sit at $50.22, $22.47, and $9.98.

Analyst Crypto Scient identified two additional areas. The first is the 0.75 Fibonacci retracement zone between $60 and $70. The second is a weekly demand fair value gap between $22 and $29.

UTXO data from Glassnode shows over 6% of SOL supply last moved within the current price cluster. The next major concentration of supply, above 3%, sits between $20 and $30.

SOL is currently trading below the weekly resistance level of $120. The $51 to $80 zone on the weekly chart has been tested and aligns with the retracement pocket analysts are watching.

On February 28, 2026, SOL was trading at $78 as markets reacted to the Israel-Iran conflict.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics.

While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
