Western Union has introduced USDPT, a $3 billion U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued on Solana, alongside its new Digital Asset Network connecting digital balances to in-person cash services at more than 360,000 locations. Through an integration with Crossmint, users can move funds on Solana, hold value in USDPT, and withdraw cash globally, while analysts see room for SOL to climb toward $115 if key resistance zones between $100 and $105 are reclaimed.

Solana has been trading in a $70 to $90 band for more than four weeks, with buyers defending support near $70 and sellers capping price around $90. Analysts suggest that a daily close above the $90–$93 resistance area could open the way toward $105–$120, while a loss of support around $80 risks a return to the range lows. On a longer horizon, some chartists point to an ascending channel with major resistance near $240 and ambitious cycle projections toward the mid-upper channel region if broader market liquidity and adoption remain strong.

Solana is trading around $82.37 after a 1.09% daily rise, while its weekly performance shows a 3.28% decline and a test of the $76–$78 support band. Analysts are watching whether a break below $76 could open the way toward $72 and potentially the wider $62–$70 demand area, while a recovery toward $82–$85 might restore short-term strength.

SoFi has introduced direct Solana network deposits, making it the first nationally chartered US bank to let its 13.7 million customers move SOL from external wallets into SoFi crypto accounts.

Technical traders are watching support near $76.60 and resistance in the $85–$92 region.
