Lora Finance Moves v2 Launch to Solana, Citing Speed and Liquidity; SOL Nears $80

DeFi protocol Lora Finance announced on July 2, 2026, that it will migrate its v2 launch from MegaETH to Solana, a decision driven by the network’s speed, liquidity depth, and broader asset access. The move shifts a planned deployment away from MegaETH and places Solana at the center of the protocol’s next rollout.

Lora Finance Chooses Solana Over MegaETH for v2

Lora Finance said its decision to launch v2 on Solana was based on the network’s performance characteristics. The project pointed to Solana’s transaction speed, available liquidity, and the range of assets accessible on the network as key factors. As a result, MegaETH loses a planned DeFi deployment that was originally slated for its chain.

The announcement, shared by SolanaFloor on X, underscores the ongoing competition among high-performance blockchain networks to attract DeFi projects. Lora Finance framed the migration as a feature-driven decision rather than a short-term market play, focusing on the infrastructure needed for its next version.

Solana Network Activity Shows Strong User Demand

Solana’s on-chain data reveals solid user activity that has not yet translated into a full price recovery. Active addresses are testing yearly highs near 7 million, while transaction speeds are pushing toward 1,100 TPS, according to market analyst Robert (@iR0bertt). Much of this activity is driven by meme tokens and airdrops, which have kept user engagement high across Solana applications.

Despite the network metrics, SOL remains approximately 74% below its all-time high. This gap between network usage and price structure highlights a divergence that traders are watching closely. The question remains whether sustained on-chain activity can eventually support stronger price action.

SOL Price Holds Key Levels Around $73 and $80

SOL is currently trading near $77, holding above the $73 support level. This support corresponds to the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement zone, a level closely watched by technical analysts. A break below $73 could shift attention to the $63 area as the next potential support.

On the daily chart, SOL is attempting to form a base near current levels. A move above $80 would likely improve short-term momentum for buyers. Beyond $80, traders may target the $100 to $120 range, with the first major resistance at $120 based on the shared technical outlook. July is shaping up to be a critical period for SOL’s direction, with $80 as the key price level to monitor.
