Analysis
Solana (SOL) rose about 1.6% over the past 24 hours even as headlines focused on a major exploit of Solana-based trading platform Drift, with estimates ranging from at least $200 million to as high as $285 million stolen, which may have been viewed as a protocol-specific issue rather than a broader SOL network problem. Broader market commentary comparing how SOL has held up versus Ethereum and XRP also kept attention on Solana’s relative resilience.
