Solana (SOL) has crossed 51 million in Daily Transactions, marking a new milestone for the network.
Solana remains one of the most attractive protocols, especially after decoupling from the impact of FTX-implosion.
Solana (SOL), a blockchain platform recognized for its high throughput and low transaction costs, recently soared to a new height by surpassing 51 million daily transactions.
This milestone not only marks an all-time high for the Solana network but also contributed to a surge in its price, reaching $61, which marked a 5.6 percent increase in the past 24 hours. Furthermore, as of the time of writing, the market capitalization of Solana is pegged at $25,982,084,931 and the 24-hour trading volume is $1,405,994,132.
Factors Driving the Solana Surge
The positive sentiment surrounding Solana’s price prediction persists as it continues to trade above the 50 and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). Analysts anticipate a retest of the $60 level in the coming weeks, reflecting the optimism in the Solana community.
A pivotal development contributing to this surge is the introduction of the Jito Foundation’s governance token, JTO. Specifically designed to oversee the Solana-based liquid staking protocol, this move marks a step towards more democratic and user-centric governance in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space.
According to market experts, Solana’s recent rise is not an isolated event but part of a broader trend fueled by a steady influx of capital into the crypto space. Marouane Garcon, co-founder of the Real-World Asset Exchange, attributes the surge in cryptocurrencies like Solana to renewed momentum and greater liquidity across crypto markets.
Aaron Golbin, founding partner at LvlUp Ventures, added that economic concerns impacting market performance are dissipating, with talks of a soft landing gaining traction. He credits the positive market movement to general excitement and developments in the crypto and Web3 infrastructure and product development space.
While some attribute Solana’s success to overall market dynamics, others point to specific merits. Tim Enneking, managing director of Digital Capital Management, pointed out the decoupling of SOL from Sam Bankman-Fried’s exchange, describing it as a “post-FTX relief rally.”
Markedly, Solana’s recent achievement aligns with the broader positive trend in its DeFi ecosystem, which recently celebrated a milestone as the Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak.
