Alright, let's talk about Solana (SOL). Right now, it's chilling at around $173.62, which is pretty decent, even if it's dipped a bit from its recent monthly high. But here's the kicker: it's still rocking an impressive 82% gain from its lowest point this year. That's a serious comeback, right?
Now, what's fueling this fire? Well, if you look at the recent data, the Solana network and its whole ecosystem have been absolutely crushing it. We're talking about the total market cap of all the meme coins on Solana skyrocketing from a measly $6 billion last month to a whopping $14 billion! That's a massive jump.
And it's not just about meme coins. Solana's actual network activity, like transactions and active users, is going through the roof. Over the past week alone, transactions jumped by a solid 7.3% to hit an insane 462.5 million. To put that in perspective, that's more transactions than the biggest chains combined! Seriously, BNB Chain hit 80 million, Base was around 64 million, Tron saw 62 million, and Near Protocol was at 42 million. Solana's leaving them all in the dust.
So, with all that momentum, especially the massive increase in meme coin action and the sheer volume of transactions, the big question on everyone's mind is: what's going to push SOL past that $200 mark and beyond? It feels like it's building up for something big.
