Why Solana is up 1.2% in the last hour
Analysis
Solana (SOL) rose about 1.2% over the past hour as sentiment appeared supported by CoinDesk’s report that a Solana-linked company is building high-speed infrastructure aimed at preparing SOL for the next “super cycle,” a development that can be read as constructive for the ecosystem. This positive signal likely outweighed near-term negative headlines from Decrypt about Step Finance winding down weeks after a $29M hack, which may have been viewed as project-specific rather than a broader SOL network issue.
