TOP 3 REASONS WHY SOLANA PRICE RALLY HAS MORE ROOM TO GO
Solana price has regained momentum and jumped for five consecutive days and reached its highest point since Dec.6.
Solana rose to a high of $245 on Saturday, up by 42% from its lowest point this month, bringing its valuation to $117 billion. It has become the fifth-biggest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Tether.

Here are some top reasons why SOL spiked and why that rally will likely continue.
Solana has jumped because of the ongoing ecosystem growth. Its meme coins have grown and accumulated over $22 billion in market cap. Official Trump (TRUMP), which President-elect Donald Trump unveiled on Jan. 17, has a valuation of $4.4 billion.
The other popular meme coins in the ecosystem are Bonk (BONK), Dogwifhat (WIF), and Pudgy Penguins (PENGU).
Solana is also a big player in the non-fungible token industry. According to CryptoSlam, Solana’s NFTs had over $81 million in sales in the last 30 days, making it the third-biggest player after Ethereum and Bitcoin.
Solana’s ecosystem may continue growing because of its faster transaction speeds, lower costs, and the popularity of its Decentralized Exchange networks. Data shows that Solana’s DEX networks handled $32.2 billion in the last seven days, higher than Ethereum’s $9.2 billion.
This growth has led to higher network fees, which totaled $820 million in the last 365 days and $77 million this year. Some of these funds flow to Solana stakers; they’re receiving a 7% yield.
Solana up until now
Yakovenko envisioned a blockchain capable of scaling to millions of transactions per second, providing a solution to what critics said were Ethereum’s slow transaction speeds and high fees. The network is designed to support decentralized applications (dApps) and cryptocurrency transactions.
Solana touts faster transaction processing and a higher throughput than many of its competitors.
After its mainnet launch in 2020, Solana quickly gained attention for its speed and low-cost transactions, attracting developers and investors. Throughout 2021, the network grew with numerous decentralized finance (DeFi) projects and non-fungible tokens on its platform.
Solana, currently backed by big-name venture firms like Andreessen Horowitz, continues to enjoy rapid development via efficient blockchain solutions in the ever-growing crypto space.
