Why Solana is down 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
Solana (SOL) slipped 1.3% over the past hour as sentiment around the ecosystem took a hit following reports that South Korea arrested suspects behind the Solana memecoin CatFi in the country’s first rugpull case under a new law, highlighting ongoing fraud risks tied to Solana-based memecoins. While Cash App enabling USDC transfers on Solana is a constructive adoption signal, the immediate market reaction appeared more influenced by the negative regulatory/crime headline.
