Solana
Why Solana is down 1.6% today
Analysis
Solana (SOL) slipped 1.6% over the past 24 hours as market sentiment was pressured by Coinbase flagging proof-of-stake chains like Solana as potential long-term quantum-computing risks, which may have weighed on risk appetite despite being a forward-looking concern. The decline came even as Solana saw constructive headlines, including Bitget launching pre-IPO tokens on Solana and GSR introducing a Nasdaq-listed actively managed basket ETF that includes SOL—news that may not have been enough to offset broader caution.
