Solana News: Sharp Decline in On-Chain Revenue and TVL Amid Memecoin Hype Fade

Recent developments in the Solana ecosystem have revealed a significant downturn, with on-chain revenue and total value locked (TVL) experiencing substantial decreases. Here’s a closer look at the key details and their implications.

Solana’s On-Chain Revenue Plunges 93% As Memecoin Hype Fades

Solana’s on-chain revenue has sharply declined by 93% over the past two months due to a decrease in memecoin trading activity. The network generated $55.3 Million in weekly revenue in mid-January, but it has since dropped to $4 Million. Similarly, Solana’s total value locked (TVL) has decreased significantly from $12 Billion to $6.4 Billion. Earlier this year, the surge in memecoin minting fueled a sharp increase in Solana’s revenue, with memecoin trading activities accounting for 80% of the network’s revenue. However, the excitement around the market has died down, leading to a considerable decrease in overall blockchain earnings.

Solana Tumbles to $124 Amid Market Decline and Token Unlocks

Solana (SOL) has fallen to $124 today, marking a 3% loss as the overall cryptocurrency market declines by 4% in the past 24 hours. SOL is now down by 9% in a week and by 38% in the past month. The sixth-biggest coin in the market has also seen a 16% decline in a year. The recent decline in SOL can be attributed to a massive unlock of tokens via the FTX estate and a decline in meme token interest. These factors have suppressed demand for SOL, exacerbating its decline in the difficult market conditions.

Solana Price Struggling, But Potential Recovery Hinted

Despite recent analyst predictions, Solana’s (SOL) price has approached yearly low levels. Analyst Ali pointed out that Solana could face a potential recovery from current prices. The $125 support level requires close monitoring as it has established itself as Solana’s key support zone. This numerical threshold shapes forthcoming market movements, and the cryptocurrency market shows increasing bullish signals when traders maintain trading positions above this level.
