Solana Network Thriving: Can SOL Price Rebound Above US$100
Solana's outstanding performance in 2023, especially in the latter part of the year, captured the attention of investors and analysts alike. The cryptocurrency surged from US$103 on December 31 to US$115 on January 2, driven by the resurgence of Solana's decentralized finance (DeFi) sector and increased network activity.
However, optimism surrounding Solana's price trajectory was short-lived. On January 3, a market downturn was triggered by reports suggesting that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) might reject all pending Bitcoin ETF applications.
As a result, SOL prices experienced a correction, dropping to US$92 before recovering to around US$95.35 at the time of writing.
Beincrypto reports that Solana's price correction is not isolated, as other major cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, XRP, and Cardano, also experienced respective declines of 3, 9, and 14 percent.
Market sentiment appears to be influenced by broader regulatory concerns and macroeconomic factors, contributing to overall volatility in the digital asset space.
"Solana's daily transaction volume reaches a new all-time high of over US$40 billion, the highest since October 2022! Economic activity for SPL standard tokens is also at its peak, unseen since late 2022," announced IATH Studio.
