The market cap of Solana hit an all-time high late Friday, with CoinGecko data showing that it reached a peak of over $82 billion. It has since dropped slightly to about $80.5 billion, though still remains above 2021 peak levels.
But the price of Solana (SOL) is still well below its all-time November 2021 high of $259.96. That’s because more coins are in the market now compared to 2021, boosting the total market cap to new highs.
SOL is currently trading for $181, up nearly 9% in 24 hours and 21% over the past seven days. Of the top 20 coins and tokens, SOL is the best performer over the past day. And today's peak is its highest price seen since December 2021.
Solana mania came back unexpectedly last year. The blockchain—which is billed as a faster, cheaper competitor to Ethereum—was a favorite of collapsed crypto brand, FTX. The failed exchange was heavily involved in the project and its token, SOL, and the price plunged dramatically by the end of 2022.
After cooling its November rally Solana has shot up again: it's right now the best-performing cryptocurrency out of the top 20 coins and tokens. At the time of writing Solana (SOL) is trading for $60.16 per coin—a 24-hour jump of over 7%, according to CoinGecko. Over the past seven days, SOL has gained 10% in value. SOL experienced a phenomenal rally throughout November. The Ethereum-competitor price soared past $50 for the first time since May 2022, beating most coins and tokens in performance....
Some crypto observers thought that the trial of criminal ex-FTX boss Sam Bankman-Fried and the collapse of his crypto empire would lead to the downfall of the token and its network.
Instead, Solana started to boom again last November for a number of reasons: Developers thought it was fast and cheap, major brands like Shopify and Visa wanted to use its blockchain, and meme coin traders flocked to the chain thanks to its low fees.
SOL is now the fifth-biggest digital asset by market cap. Interest in its network has surged during the recent rise in crypto prices—particularly as new meme tokens such as BONK and Dogwifhat gain popularity.

Ethereum's dramatic rise the past week has stemmed from a growing embrace of digital assets' usefulness as more than stores of value and increased institutional and retail interest adoption of blockchain and stablecoin payments, research analysts at Bernstein wrote in a note Wednesday. The analysts noted the growing adoption of stablecoins for cross-border payments, the potential of brokerages such as Robinhood to offer tokenized equities on their own blockchains—constructed on Ethereum—and a c...
The price of gold fell to a monthly low on Wednesday, underscoring investors’ increased appetite for risk-on assets like Bitcoin amid cooling trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Gold’s price has fallen 9% to $3,185 per ounce, from an all-time high of $3,500 in mid-April, according to Trading Economics. Over the same period of time, Bitcoin’s price has surged 17% to $103,600 from $88,200, according to CoinGecko data. The divergence between gold and Bitcoin has grown more apparent as the U....
The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note rose above 4.5% on Tuesday, its highest level in over a month, as investors responded to a temporary rollback in tariffs between the U.S. and China and reassessed the outlook for Federal Reserve policy easing. The move mirrors a sharp reversal from early April, when yields briefly dipped below 4.1% before climbing to a peak of 4.49%. Bitcoin, by comparison, is sitting just below its January all-time high, currently trading at $104,000, CoinGecko data s...
