The bad news was that while the token’s price dropped, its Binance funding rate increased. This meant that derivatives investors were actively buying SOL at its lower cost.
Nonetheless, the token’s social volume remained consistently high last week, reflecting its popularity in the crypto market. Whether Solana manages to maintain its spot on the top five list despite these setbacks will be interesting to keep an eye on.
