# Why did Solana drop 1.0% on October 25, 2026?

On October 25, 2026 (UTC), SOL went from about $102.37 to $101.37 (-0.97%) on OKX · USDT, trading between $100.37 and $102.77. For the closed-hour 24h window: SOL is within a usual day's range. SOL fell further than this on 6 of the past 29 days. Solana declined, and most other tracked coins moved the same way, so the move was partly in line with Bitcoin. The day's move stayed within Solana's usual range, with volume below usual and funding near zero on the OKX perpetual swap. No recent report about the coin explains the move, so the cause is unresolved.

## Still open

- What drove Solana's trading on this day, if any single development did; an official project statement or exchange notice would settle it.
- Whether trading activity around Solana changed for reasons beyond price; on-chain data on transfers and active addresses would settle it.
