Solana Surges 11% in a Day, Defying Fears of FTX Token Sale



Solana (SOL) has been on a remarkable rally, gaining 26% this week, making it one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies. This impressive performance comes despite concerns over a potential sell-off by FTX, the bankrupt crypto exchange.


Investor worries about FTX selling tokens turned out to be overblown, and SOL's price continues to rise. In addition to this, several factors contribute to the surge:

  • Increased activity on the Solana network.

  • A substantial influx of funds into digital assets.

  • A recent tech upgrade, including enhanced transaction security.

SOL's year-to-date gain stands at 170%, even after concerns about the future of the Solana ecosystem at the end of 2022 following the troubles of top supporter and investor Sam Bankman-Fried.


The recent unlocking of approximately 5.5 million SOL, worth $122 million, by the FTX estate has reassured investors.


Moreover, SOL has demonstrated technical strength against Ethereum (ETH), further bolstering its rally. Investors are flocking to Solana-focused funds, with $24 million of net inflows reported recently. SOL is emerging as the preferred altcoin choice for many.

Solana's network activity has been on the rise, and a recent tech upgrade has improved its functionality. In conclusion, Solana's impressive performance reflects its resilience and attractiveness to investors, despite initial concerns.
