– Kamino Finance: $3.19 billion
– Jito Sol: $3.14 billion
– Jupiter Exchange: $2.94 billion pic.twitter.com/5jqR8TjhFq— SolanaFloor (@SolanaFloor) August 14, 2025
Kamino Finance, Jito Sol, and Jupiter Exchange held more than $9 billion combined. This concentration shows where most liquidity remains locked.
The DeFi growth aligned with increased network usage. Higher value locked typically indicates growing user confidence and platform adoption.
Short liquidations exceeded $30 million over 24 hours during the recent price movement. The largest single position closure was worth $1.34 million near $204.

Technical analysis showed support levels at $185 with a deeper demand zone between $176-$185. Analysts noted that holding above $185 would preserve bullish structure.
Reports suggest up to eight Solana ETFs could receive regulatory approval. These products would provide institutional investors regulated exposure to SOL.
Price stability around current levels keeps potential moves toward $220-$250 range possible. The combination of reduced selling pressure and strong support levels provides multiple momentum drivers.
Assets under management on the Solana blockchain reached $2.84 billion. This figure reflects growing institutional interest and capital allocation.
