Today, Solana (SOL) stood out as one of the top gainers among major cryptocurrencies, witnessing a substantial price surge of more than 18%. The question on everyone’s mind is: why did this significant altcoin, valued at $27 billion, experience such a notable 18% rally today?
Cathie Wood’s Endorsement Boosts Solana (SOL) to Another Rally
The recent surge in Solana’s price, likely triggered by Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood’s positive remarks about the Solana network, has caught attention. During a televised interview, Wood commended Solana, stating, “Solana is doing a really good job. If you look at Ethereum, it was faster and cheaper than Bitcoin back in the day. That’s why we needed ETH. Solana is even faster and more affordable than ETH.”
Wood’s endorsement seems to have reignited a rally in Solana’s price, following a significant dip after FTX’s collapse. Despite this setback, the coin has shown a consistent upward trend for most of the year, with some analysts attributing it to a correction after an extended decline.
