Why Solana is down 1.0% in the last hour
Analysis
Solana (SOL) slipped about 1% over the past hour as traders digested mixed catalysts: while Solana’s mainnet slot time cut to 350ms is a constructive network upgrade, it didn’t translate into immediate buying momentum in the short term (The Block). At the same time, market chatter about SOL “flirting with $100” amid “rising competition” may have reinforced near-term caution and profit-taking (AMBCrypto, confidence: 57%).
