Solana
Why Solana is down 3.1% today
Analysis
Solana (SOL) fell 3.1% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment around proof-of-stake networks took a hit after Coinbase flagged chains like Solana and Ethereum as potential quantum-related risks, which may have pressured buyers (Decrypt). While Bitget’s move to launch pre-IPO tokens starting with SpaceX on Solana and news of GSR’s BESO ETF including SOL exposure are constructive developments, they didn’t offset the near-term caution implied by the Coinbase risk framing (CoinDesk, AMBCrypto).
