Why Solana is down 1.5% in the last hour
Analysis
Solana (SOL) slipped ~1.5% over the past hour as traders appeared to digest protocol-related headlines, with Bitcoinist reporting the Solana validator client v1.18 reaching 85% consensus stake—an upgrade milestone that can prompt short-term repositioning around network changes. At the same time, AMBCrypto noted Solana “flipping Base” in x402 activity (confidence: 57%), but that usage-positive datapoint wasn’t enough to offset near-term selling pressure in this window.
