#Solana (SOL) is a prominent cryptocurrency in the blockchain ecosystem, known for its high transaction speed and scalability.
In recent days, it has experienced notable volatility in its price.
On February 18, 2025, Solana recorded a value of 164.0 dollars per unit at 16:55 UTC, reflecting a decrease of 8.13% in the last 24 hours. This decline is partly attributed to the controversy generated by the alleged promotion of the cryptocurrency $LIBRA by Argentine President Javier Milei, which turned out to be a scam. This event caused a loss of confidence among investors and a drop in the value of Solana of nearly 25%.
Despite these challenges, Solana maintains a strong position in the cryptocurrency market, with a market capitalization of approximately 86.79 billion dollars. Analysts suggest that, while it faces short-term hurdles, the technical features and growing adoption of Solana could drive its recovery and long-term growth.
