#TrumpVsPowell #TrumpVsPowell The Solana (SOL) ecosystem has recently experienced significant volatility, particularly due to the decline in meme coin values. After reaching an all-time high of $261 in January 2025, SOL's price has dropped nearly 60%, trading below the $183 support level for the first time since November .

This downturn is largely attributed to the fading excitement surrounding meme coins, which had previously driven substantial growth within the Solana network. As the meme coin hype cooled off, Solana's decentralized exchange (DEX) volume plummeted from an all-time high of $36 billion on January 19 to just $3.8 billion by January 31, marking a nearly 90% decrease .

Notably, individual investors have suffered significant losses. For instance, Ross Ulbricht lost $12 million to a maximal extractable value (MEV) bot while attempting to provide liquidity for the ROSS meme coin on Raydium, a DEX on Solana . Additionally, a trader who invested over $1 million in meme coins saw nearly 90% of their funds vanish in just two days as the hype-driven tokens plummeted .

Currently, the price of Solana (SOL) stands at $141.14 USD, reflecting a modest increase of 2.80 USD (approximately 2.02%) from the previous close. The day's trading has seen a high of $141.84 and a low of $137.73.
