Solana’s SOL has surged by 13% in the past week, hitting $218 on Nov. 14. The price jump from $156 on Nov. 5 to a peak of $225 on Nov. 12 hints at a potential move towards the all-time high of $260. With Bitcoin crossing $90,000, the crypto market rally is in full swing, propelling SOL to new heights.
The surge in SOL’s value is backed by robust onchain activity and positive fundamentals within the Solana ecosystem. The uptrend is bolstered by record volumes on Solana-based decentralized exchanges (DEXs), reaching $26.1 billion, surpassing even Ethereum. Furthermore, the total value locked in Solana’s smart contracts has surged to $7.9 billion, the highest since 2021, showing increased user interaction and demand for the SOL token.
In addition, Solana futures’ open interest hit an all-time high of $4.54 billion on Nov. 12, signaling growing institutional interest in SOL derivatives. While leveraged positions pose risks of liquidations during a price correction, the derivatives data points to further upside potential for SOL.
Alongside Solana’s rally, meme coins on its network are posting significant gains, highlighting the network’s activity. Tokens like Dogwifhat (WIF), Bonk (BONK), Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), and Popcat (POPCAT) have seen impressive surges, reflecting the overall bullish sentiment on the Solana ecosystem.
With a surge in onchain transactions and meme coin activity, Solana is witnessing heightened user engagement, driving demand for SOL and boosting its price. As the network continues to attract users and integrate more DApps, SOL’s price may hit new milestones in the near future.
