The indicator for partial January 2024 takes into account not only SOL ($474 billion) and native SPL tokens, but also transactions with the USDC stablecoin ($403 billion).
The rise in the price of the Solana cryptocurrency occurs against the backdrop of significant trading activity in pairs with the WEN meme token and “stable coins.”

WEN is distributed via airdrop to traders of the non-custodial exchange Jupiter, users of the Saga smartphone and holders of some NFTs.
At the time of writing, Solana is ranked fifth in the CoinMarketCap rankings. Cryptocurrency capitalization is $45.2 billion.
Earlier, CoinGecko analysts noted the impressive “rebirth of Solana from the dead” after the “chain reaction” from the collapse of FTX.
