What’s driving Solana (SOL)?

A surge in network activity, particularly within liquid staking token protocols such as Jito, has contributed partially to Solana’s price acceleration, according to the data from Kaiko Research. As a prominent alternative Layer 1 (alt L1) blockchain, Solana is frequently juxtaposed with Ethereum (ETH), and the recent months have seen Solana outshine its counterpart. The comparative ratio of SOL to ETH has escalated from 0.011 in September to approximately 0.025, surpassing pre-FTX crisis levels.

Coinbase has spearheaded the net buying spree, with market purchases of Solana tokens since the rally’s inception. While Binance initially trailed, it soon ramped up market buying, reaching a cumulative volume delta (CVD) of 1.9 million since that date.

In the broader context, SOL has outperformed other popular altcoins such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), Polygon (MATIC) and Ripple (XRP) in trading volumes across exchanges available in the U.S., securing its position as this year’s favored alternative digital asset among U.S. traders.

SOL is up by nearly 75% in a month.

This is an initiative by Binance to lower the overall supply of BNB tokens in circulation. An Auto-Burn mechanism is used to carry out the burn, and it chooses how much BNB to burn based on the price and the number of blocks generated on the BNB Smart Chain. The exchange has destroyed 48 million BNB tokens overall.  advertisement Why Is The Quarterly Burn Required? BNB was introduced in 2017, and a promise was made to burn 100 million BNB (or half of its supply) to remove them from circulation. Only 100 million BNB will eventually remain in circulation due to this.
