Why Solana is up 2.4% in the last hour
Analysis
Solana (SOL) rose 2.4% over the past hour as traders reacted to reports of a rapid unlock of over $211 million worth of SOL staking, highlighted in U.Today’s coverage of “ETF flows” and the sudden movement of staked SOL. Despite negative headlines around a major exploit on Solana-based trading platform Drift (reported by The Block and Decrypt), the immediate price action appeared more aligned with the staking/flow-driven narrative than the exploit news in this short timeframe.
