Developed ecosystem and growing demand among investors: Why Solana and what does DeFi have to do with it?
Open trading account Open demo account

Two months ago, the Solana blockchain went offline after being attacked by spam transactions. Today, the token is back in the game and is approaching a new record high. The coin continues to increase on-chain activity and may well update its highs this week. Amid positive news and bullish bitcoin, SOL also looks rather stable. At this point, the altcoin clearly demonstrates the relationship between the ecosystem and the price.

This makes Solana one of the top digital assets in the bullish market as the decentralized finance market and the NFT sector are showing great performance. If non-fungible tokens are secondary to the project, DeFi's market cap has reached an all-time high. Owing to this, the coin has surpassed XRP and is now ranked sixth on the list of top 10 cryptocurrencies, with a market cap of $63.2 billion. At the same time, the digital asset has set a new historic record and is now steady at $210. In a week, SOL soared by 31% with its average daily trading volumes of around $5 billion. It can be assumed that Solana will continue its rally.

The rapid growth of its ecosystem had a positive effect on the altcoin. The DeFi ecosystem of the project with a market capitalization of $14 billion is seen behind SOL's stellar rally. The biggest gains came from the pool for Socean staking, where the volume rose by 77% to $121 million. In addition, there has been recorded a significant increase in the client base both in related ecosystem projects and in the asset's main network. This means that demand for the altcoin is growing after a large collapse of activity amid problems with the SOL network. The developers have also announced the test launch of Squads, a project for creating and managing decentralized organizations that are controlled by means of smart contract technologies and user voting.

The altcoin has great growth potential in the current bull market. At the same time, the digital asset is unlikely to stay at the new record high for a long time. Technically, we can see that the price is growing after a short-term consolidation period. The Stochastic Oscillator keeps heading upward but is gradually reversing sideways, indicating a gradual slowdown in the bullish trend. The Relative Strength Index is above 50, signaling increased demand for the asset. At the same time, the MACD is moving above zero, showing the beginning of a new consolidation stage.

On the daily chart, despite the formation of a bullish engulfing candlestick with a long upper wick, the indicators are heading down to 50. The MACD is signaling the continuation of the bullish trend. Meanwhile, the Stochastic indicator is turning down, indicating the weakness of bulls. Technically, SOL/USD is consolidating. At this point, the coin consolidated at safe levels. At the same time, amid growing on-chain activity and the development of the ecosystem, the digital asset is expected to skyrocket to new all-time highs.
