Solana Price Today, 14 November 2025: SOL Slides Toward $140 as Liquidations Hit Crypto and Solana ETFs Eye Next Phase of Growth

Friday, 14 November 2025 (14.11.2025)

Key takeaways

Solana (SOL) is trading in the high‑$130s to low‑$140s today, with most major data providers showing prices around $137–$142, down roughly 8–12% in the last 24 hours. ^[1]
The drop comes amid a broad crypto selloff: Bitcoin has fallen below $98,000 and over $1 billion of leveraged crypto positions were liquidated, dragging major altcoins like SOL, ADA and others lower. ^[2]
Solana ETFs are still seeing net inflows: U.S. spot Solana products have now logged around 12–13 straight days of inflows totaling about $369–370 million, even as daily flows slow. ^[3]
VanEck’s Solana ETF is close to launch after a key SEC Form 8‑A filing, positioning SOL as one of the few altcoins with a growing ETF ecosystem alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. ^[4]
On‑chain, Solana still leads the industry in DApp revenue and DEX volume, even as active addresses slump to a 12‑month low and price tests a key $145–$150 support zone watched by traders. ^[5]

Solana price today: where SOL stands on 14 November 2025

Across major exchanges and data aggregators, Solana is under heavy pressure today:

CoinGecko shows SOL at about $137.51, down 12.1% in the last 24 hours, with a 24‑hour range between roughly $138 and $156, a market cap near $76.3 billion, and trading volume around $9.0 billion. ^[6]
Binance’s spot market quotes SOL near $142, down about 8.5% on the day, with market cap around $78.8 billion and volume above $8.2 billion. ^[7]
CoinMarketCap shows SOL in the low $140s as well, with a daily loss just over 10%. ^[8]

Different feeds and update times explain the slight discrepancies, but they all point to the same story: SOL has broken decisively below the psychologically important $150 area and is now gravitating toward $140.

On a broader timeframe:

SOL is roughly 10–11% lower than a week ago and more than 30% below its 30‑day high, reflecting a sharp correction after trading near the $170–$190 band in late October and early November. ^[9]

Why is Solana price down today?

Macro jitters, China data and an avalanche of liquidations

Today’s Solana move is driven much less by project‑specific drama and much more by macro and derivatives pressure across the entire crypto market.

A CoinDesk market update this morning reported that: ^[10]

Bitcoin slid below $98,000 for the first time since May,
Ether, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) and other majors fell around 8%, and
More than $1 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with about $887 million of that coming from long positions.

Weak economic data from China and fading expectations of quick Federal Reserve rate cuts have triggered a “risk‑off” mood in both equities and crypto, prompting traders to unwind leveraged bets and rotate into cash. ^[11]

CryptoNews’ daily market wrap for 14 November paints a similar picture. It notes that: ^[12]

All top‑10 cryptocurrencies by market cap are down today.
Solana is among the hardest hit, dropping about 8.6% to roughly $142 at the time of that report.
Sentiment has slid into “extreme fear”, with the crypto fear‑and‑greed index falling to 22.
Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S. have seen nearly $870 million in outflows in a single day, while Ethereum ETFs also recorded heavy redemptions.

Put simply, SOL is caught in a market‑wide deleveraging: when Bitcoin long positions are liquidated and ETF flows turn sharply negative, high‑beta altcoins like Solana tend to amplify those moves on both the way up and the way down.

ETF flows: VanEck’s Solana ETF nears launch as inflows keep trickling in

Ironically, while the spot price is under pressure, institutional‑style products tied to Solana are still attracting capital.

12–13 straight days of positive Solana ETF inflows

Recent analysis from Pintu and CoinCentral shows that U.S. spot Solana ETFs have just completed their 12th straight day of net inflows, adding around $18.1 million most recently and bringing cumulative inflows to roughly $369 million. ^[13]

Bitget’s research desk adds that Bitwise’s BSOL and Grayscale’s GSOL funds now hold around $351 million worth of SOL between them, and that these products have logged 11 consecutive days of inflows as of 13 November. ^[14]

At the same time, new options trading on U.S. Solana ETFs gives institutions more tools for hedging and yield strategies, a structural positive even if it doesn’t immediately lift the spot price. ^[15]

VanEck’s Solana ETF edges closer to trading

Two separate reports today — from CoinCentral and AMBCrypto — highlight that VanEck’s dedicated Solana ETF has taken a key regulatory step by filing SEC Form 8‑A, a move typically made shortly before a fund begins trading on an exchange. ^[16]

Key details from today’s ETF coverage include:

The VanEck Solana fund is expected to charge a management fee of around 0.30%, putting it in line with other competitive crypto ETFs. ^[17]
Analysts note that Solana ETFs have already racked up roughly $370 million in total inflows over a 13‑day streak, suggesting steady institutional curiosity despite the current price drawdown. ^[18]

ETF flows don’t always dictate short‑term price, but they matter for long‑term positioning. The contrast is stark: while leveraged traders are being forced out by liquidations, ETF buyers appear to be gradually averaging in.

Under the hood: Solana’s on‑chain metrics and ecosystem in focus

Despite today’s red candles, Solana’s on‑chain and ecosystem metrics remain surprisingly strong.

Solana leads in DApp revenue and DEX volume

Both CoinCentral and Pintu highlight that Solana is currently the top blockchain in terms of 24‑hour decentralized application (DApp) revenue and decentralized exchange (DEX) volume: ^[19]

Around $4.81 million in DApp revenue over the past 24 hours,
Roughly $3.86 billion in DEX trading volume,
Ahead of competitors like Hyperliquid, Ethereum, Base, BSC and others.

This leadership in actual usage — transaction fees paid and DeFi trading activity — provides a fundamental counterweight to today’s bearish price action.

Network upgrades: the Alpenglow era

On 4 November, Solana developers detailed the upcoming Alpenglow upgrade, which aims to: ^[20]

Slash validator operating costs, which can currently run as high as $5,000 per month due largely to voting‑related expenses,
Increase bandwidth and reduce latency, improving throughput and user experience,
Encourage more validators to join, boosting decentralization and resilience.

If Alpenglow delivers on these goals, it could strengthen the long‑term investment case for SOL by making the network more secure, inclusive and cost‑efficient.

Real‑world assets and CeDeFi integrations

Two more news items today show how Solana is expanding beyond pure DeFi speculation:

BLOCK’s tokenized real‑estate platform officially launched on Solana, aiming to turn properties into fractionalized on‑chain assets with smart‑contract‑based booking, maintenance and governance. ^[21]
OKX rolled out a new CeDeFi hub that connects centralized and decentralized trading across Solana, Base and X Layer in a single interface, giving Solana users streamlined access to on‑chain liquidity without juggling multiple wallets and apps. ^[22]

These developments point toward a broader, more utility‑driven ecosystem where Solana is used for real‑world assets, cross‑chain trading and more complex financial applications — not just meme coins and short‑term speculation.

But not everything is perfect: activity slump and mixed sentiment

Bitget’s latest Solana outlook notes that: ^[23]

Active addresses on Solana have fallen to about 3.3 million, a 12‑month low and well below the January peak of around 9.9 million.
This suggests a cool‑down in day‑to‑day user activity, even as certain verticals (like the pump.fun memecoin launchpad) generate more than $1 million in daily fees and dominate token‑launch activity.
In parallel, whale cohorts are stepping in, with large holders contributing roughly $26 million in net spot inflows per day on exchanges like Binance, OKX and Coinbase, and executing around $457 million in long positions over the past three days.

So the on‑chain picture is mixed: fewer everyday users, but strong whale and ETF interest, plus high‑value DeFi and trading activity.

Technical view: SOL tests key support as head‑and‑shoulders risk emerges

Today’s price action also sits at a technically important area for Solana.

Testing the $145–$150 demand zone

Brave New Coin’s 14 November analysis describes SOL as slipping back into a key $145–$150 “demand zone”, an area that has previously triggered meaningful bounce attempts. ^[24]

Recent candles show lower highs and compressed price action, hinting at buyer fatigue.
Analysts warn that a clean break below this zone could open up a deeper range toward $118–$125, an area that acted as a strong base in earlier rallies. ^[25]

Pintu and CoinCentral add more color:

Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering around 36, edging toward traditional “oversold” territory. ^[26]
MACD remains in negative territory, but shrinking histogram bars suggest selling pressure may be losing intensity, even as momentum stays bearish for now. ^[27]

Possible head‑and‑shoulders structure and deeper downside levels

Brave New Coin also points to a potential head‑and‑shoulders pattern on higher timeframes: ^[28]

A neckline in the $120–$125 region,
A series of lower highs around the $170–$177 area,
And a break of a multi‑month diagonal trendline, which usually signals a shift from accumulation into a more corrective regime.

In a more extreme scenario analysis, some Fib‑based projections highlight potential supports as deep as $81 or even the $40–$50 band if the structure fully unwinds — but these are hypothetical targets, not base‑case predictions. ^[29]

For the upside, analysts broadly agree:

No meaningful “trend recovery” confirmation is likely until SOL reclaims roughly $170–$177 with strong volume, the zone that capped recent rallies. ^[30]

In the very short term, traders are watching:

Support: $150, then $145, then $140.
Resistance: $160 initially, then $170 and $180 if a rebound can gain traction. ^[31]

What could move Solana price next?

Looking beyond today’s selloff, several factors are likely to shape SOL’s path over the coming days and weeks:

Macro data and rate expectations
- Fresh economic data from major economies (especially the U.S. and China) and shifting rate‑cut expectations have been key drivers of risk sentiment. More negative surprises could keep pressure on Bitcoin and, by extension, Solana. ^[32]
ETF flows across Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana
- Continued outflows from BTC and ETH ETFs combined with ongoing inflows into Solana ETFs would deepen the divergence between price action and institutional flows — potentially setting up sharp reversals if sentiment turns. ^[33]
VanEck Solana ETF launch timing and liquidity
- The exact date and initial trading volume of VanEck’s Solana ETF will matter. A strong debut could reinforce the narrative that SOL is becoming a “core” altcoin for traditional investors. ^[34]
On‑chain activity: will the address slump reverse?
- A rebound in active addresses and network usage, especially outside of speculative memecoin launches, would strengthen the bull case that today’s price is out of sync with fundamentals. ^[35]
Execution of the Alpenglow upgrade and ecosystem launches
- Progress on Alpenglow, continued CeDeFi integrations like OKX’s, and real‑world asset protocols such as BLOCK will be watched as indicators of Solana’s long‑term adoption trajectory. ^[36]

How traders and investors are reading today’s move

Across today’s coverage, the narrative around Solana looks split into two time horizons:

Short‑term
- Price is clearly weak: multi‑week downtrend, loss of $150, and a credible risk of further downside toward the low‑$120s if support fails.
- Derivatives metrics (funding, open interest) and macro headwinds argue for continued caution, especially for highly leveraged traders. ^[37]
Medium to long‑term
- ETF inflows, options listing, strong DApp and DEX metrics, upcoming network upgrades and new RWA/CeDeFi integrations all suggest Solana remains a central player in the Layer‑1 race. ^[38]

That disconnect — weak price, strong structural story — is exactly why today’s Solana coverage ranges from bearish short‑term charts to optimistic multi‑year outlooks.

Final word: risk reminder

Solana remains one of the most volatile large‑cap crypto assets. Sharp daily moves like today’s 8–12% slide are common in both directions, and technical scenarios include both deep downside and strong recovery paths. ^[39]
