Why Solana is up 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
Solana (SOL) rose about 1.3% over the past hour as broader crypto sentiment improved, with markets rallying alongside Bitcoin’s move back above $80,000 despite a regulatory “Clarity” setback. SOL also got a tech-focused tailwind after CoinDesk reported Solana’s blocks are now ~17% faster, which can be read as a network performance improvement even if overall transaction capacity is unchanged.
