Solana (SOL) recorded 1.88 million unique active addresses on October 9, 2026, the highest level in 13 months, according to TokenPost. The Solana price is 101.65 USD as of October 26, 2026, up 0.29 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 25, 2026, according to Investing.com.

Alpenglow went live on October 21, 2026

Solana's Alpenglow consensus upgrade went live on October 21, 2026, at slot 459,653,000, according to Morningstar. Consensus is the process validators use to agree on the valid state of the network. The upgrade retired TowerBFT, Solana's previous consensus protocol, and introduced a design intended to bring transaction finality, the point at which a transaction cannot be reversed, to about 150 milliseconds from 12.8 seconds.

CoinDesk reported that Alpenglow moves validator voting off-chain and combines approvals into certificates. The change is intended to reduce the time exchanges and payment applications wait before treating a transaction as final. The 150-millisecond figure remains a target for the upgraded network rather than a price forecast for SOL.

ETF outflows reached 6.7 million USD

U.S. spot Solana ETFs recorded 6.7 million USD in net outflows on October 19, 2026, according to TokenPost. Bitwise's fund accounted for 4.9 million USD of the withdrawals, while Fidelity's fund recorded 1.8 million USD. The report said the outflow extended the withdrawal streak to 11 sessions, while cumulative net inflows since launch remained positive.

The October 9 network figure and the October 19 fund flow measure different parts of Solana's market. Active addresses track blockchain account activity, while spot ETF flows track subscriptions and redemptions in exchange-traded products. Neither figure by itself establishes a direction for the SOL price.
