Why Solana is down 1.2% in the last hour

Analysis

Solana (SOL) slipped about 1.2% over the past hour as sentiment likely weakened following reports that the founder of Solana token launchpad Believe was arrested on assault and strangulation charges, adding a near-term reputational/regulatory overhang around parts of the ecosystem. While GSR’s launch of the BESO ETF includes Solana exposure, that development may not have been enough to offset the negative headlines in the immediate window.
