Why Solana is down 1.6% today

Analysis

Solana (SOL) slipped 1.6% over the past 24 hours as traders digested mixed signals: a notable network-speed upgrade but also near-term uncertainty around price momentum amid intensifying competition. The Block reported Solana cut mainnet slot time to 350ms as a first step toward a 200ms goal, which is constructive long term but may not have provided an immediate catalyst for buying.
