Why Solana is up 10.1% today
Analysis
Solana (SOL) rose 10.1% over the past 24 hours as a broader crypto rebound pushed prices higher and triggered a wave of short liquidations, including SOL shorts, amplifying upside momentum. Decrypt reported that Bitcoin’s move back near $69K “rekt” shorts across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, which likely contributed to SOL’s sharp gains despite separate negative headlines about Step Finance winding down after a hack.
