Solana's Tokenomics Reality Check



Here's what the numbers tell us:

2021: A $78B market cap put SOL at $260 per token. Fast forward to 2026 with the same $78B valuation, and that price drops to $138. What happened? Token inflation. Pure and simple.

We're looking at roughly 47% dilution driven entirely by supply expansion. It's the classic squeeze play—same market value spread across significantly more tokens in circulation.

This is the often-overlooked side of the story when people discuss Solana's ecosystem growth. The chain might be thriving, activity could be booming, but if token supply keeps climbing faster than value creation, holders end up wearing the cost. Worth keeping in your risk calculus when evaluating SOL positions.
