Why Solana is down 1.1% in the last hour
Analysis
Solana (SOL) slipped about 1.1% over the past hour as negative sentiment hit the ecosystem following South Korea’s arrest of suspects tied to the Solana-based CatFi memecoin in the country’s first rugpull case under its new law, which may have weighed on near-term risk appetite for SOL-linked tokens. While Decrypt reported that Solana Treasury Forward Industries is joining the Russell 2000/3000 indexes, that development appears more equity-focused and didn’t offset the immediate regulatory overhang in crypto markets.
