Made in USA coins like Solana (SOL), SUI, and Aerodrome Finance (AERO)

SOL is bouncing back with strong DEX volume, SUI is gaining ecosystem momentum despite price weakness, and AERO is under pressure as Base experiments with a new “Content Coins” narrative.

In the last week of April, several interesting made in USA coins like Solana (SOL), SUI, and Aerodrome Finance (AERO) are showing very different signals.

Solana is bouncing back with strong DEX volume, SUI is gaining ecosystem momentum despite price weakness, and AERO is facing pressure as Base experiments with a new “Content Coins” narrative.

Here’s a closer look at the setups for each coin.

Solana (SOL)

Solana has risen by 7% over the past seven days, reclaiming the $130 level and sparking further optimism after correcting by 53% between February 7 and April 7.

This rebound positions Solana among the most outstanding coins, lagging only XRP in visibility and market strength.

Further boosting Solana is its return to the top spot in decentralized exchange (DEX) volume. According to DeFiLlama, Solana recorded $15.65 billion in DEX volume over the last week, outpacing Ethereum by nearly 50%.

If this positive momentum continues, SOL could challenge the next resistance at $147. A decisive breakout above that level may spur further gains toward $160 and potentially $180.

However, if the rally stalls, support at $124 becomes crucial. A drop below that could push prices down to $112, risking the recent recovery.

SUI

The SUI ecosystem has seen significant activity in recent days, with meme coins surging and decentralized exchange (DEX) usage spiking.

SUI reached $2.14 billion in DEX volume, placing it 6th among all chains and even outperforming Arbitrum's daily volumes on several occasions.

Despite the ecosystem buzz, SUI's price has struggled to keep up with the momentum.

Over the last seven days, SUI has dropped more than 9%, showing signs of a deeper correction. If the downtrend continues, it could test the key support at $2.02, with further downside toward $1.71 if that level breaks.

On the flip side, a bullish reversal could send SUI toward the next resistance at $2.28. A breakout there opens the door to $2.41, $2.54, and potentially $2.83 if the rally gains strength.

Aerodrome Finance (AERO)

Aerodrome, the leading decentralized exchange operating on the Base chain, has generated $6.38 million in fees over the past 30 days, cementing its role as the backbone of Base's DeFi activity.

However, despite its dominance, AERO has come under pressure, falling over 10% in the last seven days and more than 20% in the last month.

At the same time, Base is pushing a new narrative around “Content Coins,” although some users argue they resemble meme coins more than a distinct innovation.

Base's DEX volume has dropped 21% from the previous week, but if the “Content Coins” trend gains traction, it could reignite interest in the ecosystem—and in AERO.

If momentum returns, AERO could climb to test the next resistance at $0.414, with potential upside toward $0.47 and $0.54 if the rally is strong.

On the downside, if bearish pressure continues, support at $0.36 is key. A breakdown there could lead to further losses toward $0.34 and possibly $0.28, making the coming weeks critical for AERO's direction.
