Why Solana is up 1.7% today
Analysis
Solana (SOL) rose about 1.7% over the past 24 hours as markets reacted to CoinDesk reporting that a Solana-linked company is building high-speed infrastructure aimed at preparing SOL for the next “super cycle,” which likely supported sentiment around network scaling and future activity. That positive tone appeared to outweigh negative headlines from Decrypt that Solana DeFi project Step Finance is winding down following a reported $29M hack.
