3 Top Crypto Stocks To Watch This Week as Multiple Altcoins Eye ATH
Market Optimism surges as crypto stocks HODL, MSTR, and COIN ride the wave of a broader digital asset rally. Sol Strategies Inc (HODL) leads the pack with a 576% annual gain despite recent pullbacks, while altcoins across the board test resistance levels.
Investors are diversifying exposure through equity vehicles like Sol Strategies' Solana-focused treasury products and Coinbase's trading infrastructure. The Canadian firm's $1.8 million March revenue and NASDAQ ambitions signal institutional maturation of crypto markets.
Solana ecosystem tokens show particular strength as HODL's 33% single-day bounce demonstrates the volatility premium in crypto-correlated equities. Market participants anticipate breakout attempts from mid-cap altcoins as Bitcoin dominance wavers.
Solana's SOL Price Retreats as Whale Interest Shifts to Remittix
Solana's SOL price surge has cooled, with the token retreating to $189.84 after briefly surpassing $200. Rising Liveliness metrics indicate increased selling pressure from long-term holders, while a 1.4 million drop in new addresses signals waning network growth.
Meanwhile, crypto whales are pivoting to Remittix, a real-world payment infrastructure project that has raised over $17.5 million at $0.0876 per token. The shift highlights growing institutional interest in practical blockchain applications beyond speculative trading.
SOL faces technical headwinds as Open Interest resets from $12.01 billion to $10.56 billion, clearing excess leverage but maintaining elevated trading activity. The $200 level remains a key psychological barrier without fresh demand catalysts.
Base Overtakes Solana in Daily Token Creation Fueled by Zora's Content Coins
Coinbase's Layer 2 network, Base, has eclipsed solana in daily token creation for the first time since 2023, driven by the Zora protocol's content-to-token model. Over 100,000 tokens were minted on Base across July 27-28—outpacing Solana-based platforms like Pump.fun and LetsBonk.
The surge reflects a broader shift toward speculative trading of 'content coins,' where digital posts are tokenized. Jesse Pollak, Base's creator, frames this as a watershed moment for on-chain issuance. Yet TK Research notes 93% of Zora's activity stems from traders rather than content creators.
Solana (SOL) Holds $179 Amid Whale Accumulation and Technical Resistance
Solana's SOL trades at $179.11, marking a 2.94% decline over 24 hours despite $23 million in whale accumulation. The cryptocurrency faces technical resistance at $206.30, with RSI at 53.68 signaling neutral momentum and MACD indicating bearish divergence.
Whale activity has emerged as a counterforce to broader market headwinds. On July 28, institutional players withdrew $23 million worth of SOL from Binance and Kraken, triggering a brief 2.41% rally. This accumulation suggests strong conviction among large holders, even as short-term traders take profits.
The current pullback follows a volatile week that saw SOL drop 9.5% on July 23 due to $30 million in long liquidations. Market dynamics reflect a tension between institutional accumulation and technical resistance, with Solana's 35% monthly gain demonstrating underlying strength.
