Solana’s Month-Long Tear Continues

Today, SOL has $14.5 billion in global trade volume and the U.S. dollar is SOL’s top pair capturing 26.32% of all trades. This is followed by tether (USDT) with 21.5% of SOL swaps, bitcoin (BTC) with 18.57% of SOL trades, and BUSD with 14.73% of the market’s pairs.
Out of the $2.22 trillion crypto-economy, solana’s market valuation represents 2.64% of the entirety. The ecosystem surrounding the Solana project has seen a lot of growth as well, as Coin98 Analytics reports tether (USDT) has added a lot of tethers to the Solana chain.
“In less than a week, Tether has doubled its token release on Solana, from 390M to 790M,” Coin98 Analytics’ tweeted.
Coin98 Analytics data also shows that a $1,000 investment into solana (SOL) a year ago would produce a whopping $138,400 return.
