Why Solana is down 3.1% today
Analysis
Solana (SOL) fell 3.1% over the past 24 hours, likely reflecting a pullback after the recent broader market strength that had seen SOL “rally” alongside Bitcoin’s move back above $80,000, as reported by The Block. While protocol headlines were constructive—Decrypt noted Solana’s latest speed upgrade cutting block times by 17%, and Bitcoinist reported progress toward 250ms slots via the SIMD-0525 mainnet rollout—these updates did not prevent near-term profit-taking.
