Why Solana is down 3.5% today
Analysis
Solana (SOL) fell 3.5% over the past 24 hours even as headlines highlighted a performance upgrade, suggesting the market didn’t treat the news as an immediate bullish catalyst. The Block reported Solana cut mainnet slot time to 350ms as a first step toward a 200ms target, and Decrypt similarly framed the upgrade as making the network faster, but the price still moved lower in the period.
