Solana Price Prediction: RWA Holders Hit 400K as ETF Inflows Cool Sharply

Solana price prediction for September 9 stays bullish only if SOL holds $103.35 today, a level that keeps $109 in reach and, if lost, risks a slide back toward $98.76.

SOL trades near $102.75, down 1% today, after a sharp late-August breakout took it from the $70s to a high of $109.65 in a matter of weeks, clearing a resistance band around $98 to $101 that had capped every rally since February. That old resistance zone is now the level to watch as support.

The Supertrend indicator, which has correctly called every major swing this year, buy signals near $75 and $60, sell signals near $145 and $109, currently sits at $103.35 in sell mode, meaning today’s pullback keeps SOL just below the level that would flip it back to a buy signal. Price remains above all four EMAs, the 20-day at $98.76, the 50-day at $89.96, the 100-day at $85.73, and the 200-day at $91.21, an intact uptrend even with today’s dip.

The practical effect: developers previously had to split complex operations, zero-knowledge proofs, large multi-signature approvals, batched trading, across multiple transactions, paying separate fees for each. A transaction more than three times the old size means those operations can now fit in one.

Solana’s official account said RWA holders on the network crossed 400,000 for the first time, up from under 10,000 in January 2025:

• RWA holders: 400,000+ (up from under 10,000 in January 2025)
• Fomo alone: nearly $100 million, more than every other Solana trading platform combined

Two different metrics, same direction. More real-world assets are moving onto Solana, and more capital is sitting inside the apps built on top of it, growth that’s held up even with SOL trading below its recent high today.

Daily flows have turned negative too, with $5.21 million in net outflows on September 4 alone, led by Bitwise’s BSOL at -$2.79 million and Fidelity’s FSOL at -$2.41 million. Cumulative inflows across all SOL ETFs stand at $1.35 billion.

SOL holds above $98.76 and clears the Supertrend flip at $103.35. Trader Wayne Liang’s system flagged a buy signal near $75 and a sell near $109 during the last leg up, he expects a fresh buy signal soon, with $109 as the level that level marked last time. A clean Transaction v1 rollout would add a fundamental tailwind on top of the technical setup.

SOL loses $98.76 and gives back the recent breakout. A close below $89.98, where the Supertrend support and 50-day EMA converge, would suggest the rally has stalled out, especially if ETF outflows continue.

SOL dipping on the exact day this upgrade goes live isn’t bad news, it’s just normal market behavior.  Typically, when a project announces an upgrade a few weeks before it is due, traders start buying into that news early so most of the buying has already been done at the actual activation date. What remains today looks like profit-taking, not doubt. 

What is really worth watching is not today’s price but whether developers start to use the bigger transaction limit in the next few weeks. That’s the part you can’t trade in advance.
