Why Solana is down 1.2% in the last hour
Analysis
Solana (SOL) slipped about 1.2% over the past hour as risk sentiment around the Solana DeFi ecosystem deteriorated following reports that major Solana-based trading platform Drift was exploited for at least $200 million. The Block and Decrypt both reported large losses tied to the incident, while CoinDesk noted Drift is investigating “suspicious activity” and told users to halt deposits—developments that likely pressured SOL in the short term.
