TronWeekly reports that decentralized-exchange trading on 
Solana reached $60 billion during October 2026. The network’s real-world asset value also climbed to a record $5 billion, according to the same source.
The month also brought the activation of Alpenglow, Solana’s consensus upgrade. TronWeekly describes the upgrade as targeting transaction finality of approximately 150 milliseconds, a measure of the time required for transactions to reach their finalized state.
This is the only supplied outlet report on the development, so there is no cross-publisher corroboration or competing figure to compare. The report presents DEX volume, RWA value, and the Alpenglow activation as parts of the same October period but does not provide a breakdown of individual protocols, asset categories, or the upgrade’s measured performance.
Market data shows Solana at $90.28, up 0.16% over 24 hours but down 6.35% over seven days. Its market capitalization stands at $53.35 billion. The broader crypto market is relatively flat at $2.62 trillion, 
Bitcoin is down 0.39% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed Index is at 25, indicating extreme fear. The next data points to watch are whether Solana can sustain or surpass its $60 billion monthly DEX volume and whether Alpenglow delivers finality close to its roughly 150-millisecond target.
Since this brief published about 4 hours ago, Solana (SOL) has moved from ₹8,498.88$90.28 to ₹8,502.65$90.32 — +0.04%.
The chart plots SOL's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 SOL ≈ ₹8,806.2 (about $90.32), up 0.0% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 3.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
