74.12% of SOL Is Staked, Leaving Solana's Free Float to Set the Price
- —437.1 million SOL staked, or 74.12% of the 589.7 million in circulation
- —Free float is 152.6 million SOL worth $15.8 billion at $103.55
- —Inflation at 3.59% adds about 21.16 million SOL a year; foundation share is zero
- —Nominal staking yield is 4.84%, or 4.60% after the 5% median commission
Why it matters: A thin free float keeps SOL steady on quiet days and amplifies moves when volume spikes, with staking holding over 70% of supply off the market.
