Why Solana is down 1.1% in the last hour
Analysis
Solana (SOL) slipped about 1.1% over the past hour as traders digested mixed Solana-specific headlines rather than a clear bullish catalyst. While The Block reported Solana network fees hitting a record alongside faster inflation-cut pacing by validators, and separately noted OpenSea adding Solana NFT trading, the move still leaned modestly lower in the near term.
