Solana (SOL) has hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $295, continuing its remarkable ascent in the crypto space. The rise indicates the increasing confidence and readership of investors and users of the Solana blockchain. Several important aspects are driving the price growth of the cryptocurrency, which allows it to be recognized as one of the prime players in the market.
The $TRUMP token launch has been one of the biggest drivers behind Solana’s recent success. The token’s astronomical price increase of more than 500% has propelled Solana’s price. The $TRUMP token’s popularity has attracted increased attention to the Solana blockchain, powering its recent rally. Lost in all of this excitement are the ongoing rumors of a Solana ETF.
The approval of a Solana ETF would likely bring increased institutional interest similar to that experienced by Bitcoin since the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, explains investors. Traders have been betting on Solana based on this speculation, sending the price soaring to the moon. Positive sentiment around Solana’s Layer-2 solution, Solaxy, has also been a catalyst. By improving Solana’s scalability and relieving network congestion, Solaxy makes Solana more attractive for developers building decentralized applications (dApps) and NFTs.
Solana has become rapidly appealing to developers and investors, given its fast transaction speeds and low fees. Solana has also rocked the decentralized exchange (DEX) trading scene. In just 24 hours, Solana’s DEX trading volume reached an all-time high of $15 billion, with 60% of the market share, according to the report from Solana Floor.
This puts Solana at a staggering 300% ahead of Ethereum and its Layer-2 solutions as the blockchain of choice for DeFi. Finally, the current price of Sol at the time of this writing is $268.88 (17.75% in 24h). This has led to its market cap reaching $129.92 billion, making it the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Trading volume has surged to $24.68 billion, indicating increased demand for SOL among retail and institutional investors. The circulating supply on Solana is 486.68 million, and its total supply is 592.52 million. As Solana’s ecosystem continues to grow and its technology gains wider adoption, the trend seems likely to continue for the coin.
Much of Solana’s recent success is due to its association with the $TRUMP token. The token’s debut has seen a spike in trading volume exceeding even that of Dogecoin, the original meme coin. Trading volume for $TRUMP is nearly $12.4 billion, and Volatility for Dogecoin is just under $6.5 billion. $TRUMP tokens are priced at more than $26 and have a market cap of $5.25 billion right now.
