- Solana tops Q2 2025 in network revenue, pressuring Ethereum’s market dominance.
- SOL price consolidates near $149 as mixed indicators reflect market hesitation.
- Ethereum volume jumps 35%, but price remains capped below key $2,570 resistance.
Solana has officially surpassed all other blockchains, including its closest rival Ethereum, to take the lead in network revenue for the second quarter of 2025. This significant milestone puts pressure on Ethereum, which has long held dominance in decentralized finance and smart contract activity.
Solana’s efficiency, high throughput, and increasing institutional interest have clearly translated into higher usage and revenue. As Q3 unfolds, the focus shifts sharply toward how Ethereum will respond both in terms of network performance and market price
dynamics.
Solana Leads in Revenue, But Price Action Stalls
Despite Solana’s revenue dominance, its price action shows signs of consolidation. As of press time trading at $149.49, SOL is down 1.13% on the day. It bounced off strong support around $146.30 to $146.50, a level that has triggered multiple intraday rebounds. Another layer of buyer interest appeared near $148.00, indicating short-term accumulation.
On the upside, the resistance at $153.00 capped the recent rally, creating a ceiling for further gains. The $151.00 level also presented selling pressure, suggesting hesitation among bulls. Although momentum initially looked strong, the rejection near $153.00 pulled the price into a sideways range between $146 and $150.

Technical indicators show a mixed outlook. The MACD suggests weak bullish momentum, with the MACD line barely above the signal line. Meanwhile, RSI is hovering near 49.79, highlighting indecision and the potential for either a breakout or breakdown. For now, Solana appears to be in a holding pattern, despite its strong fundamentals.
Ethereum Struggles to Regain Strength
Ethereum, meanwhile, trades at $2,558.09 after a turbulent day. The price dipped to a session low of $2,510 but managed to recover. This rebound, however, remains capped under the $2,570 resistance.
Breaking this level is crucial for a sustained bullish reversal. A failure here could push the price back toward the key psychological level at $2,500.Notably, trading volume surged over 35% in the last 24 hours, suggesting increased trader activity.

Despite this rise, the MACD histogram is flattening. A potential bearish crossover looms if downward momentum continues. RSI sits at 54.30 and is climbing, pointing to mild bullish interest.
