Why over $ 5.5 billion went into Solana in one day

 


After a turbulent week, over $ 5.5 billion flows into Solana in one day.

Solana's market capitalization increases by billions in one day

According to CoinMarketCap, the market value of the fifth largest cryptocurrency, Solana, rose from USD 51.17 billion to USD 56.76 billion in just 24 hours on December 16.

At the time of writing, the price is trading at $ 185, up 10.3% in the past few hours, although SOL is still down 2.54% in the past seven days.

CoinMarketCap's Price Estimates feature allows users to make six-month price forecasts and see what others think about them in real time.

Currently, over 20,400 people have voted for an estimate of the median price. Interestingly, the price is expected to drop to $ 171.55 next year, which is forecast by 11,189 votes in January.

On December 13th, SolChicks debuted, an NFT initiative developed on the Solana network. Immediately after launch, however, the SolChicks team announced the following on social media:

“CHICKS HAVE DOWN SOLANA.”

This is news that investors would not want to hear from a blockchain advertised for high usage.

On December 9th, the network was severely slowed down by one. Although Solana managed to get the issues under control without experiencing a network outage, there were serious concerns about the security of the network.

It wasn't until September that the Solana network experienced a similar problem when a rapid surge in transaction traffic resulted in a network outage that lasted approximately seventeen hours. The developers who were working on the problem at the time could not solve it, which is why the validators were forced to restart the network.

The recent price hike could be attributed to basketball legend Michael Jordan and his son Jeffrey Jordan. Both launched HEIR, an athlete empowerment platform that builds on Solana and is scheduled to hit the market in 2022.

HEIR aims to bring professional athletes and their fans together in a joint effort. There will also be a HEIR token that will be issued on the Solana blockchain, as well as NFTs and community building functions. Fans will be able to join a limited capacity huddle by an athlete for access to unique rewards and experiences.

Not a bear market: According to the analyst, the current BTC decline is the same as in previous Bitcoin cycles

  According to one analyst, Bitcoin is behaving the same overall this year as it has in previous cycles. Bitcoin ( BTC ) will have “at least one more boost higher” before hitting all-time highs this halving cycle, analysts are currently saying. The well-known analyst TechDev has spoken on Twitter about the current state of BTC and said that contrary to many opinions, nothing unusual has happened in BTC/USD in 2022. Bitcoin in 2021: Nothing to see here Sentiment has also taken a hit, falling 40 percent from November's all-time high of $69,000. There is still “extreme fear” in the bitcoin and altcoin market. TechDev, known for his bullish views on Bitcoin, sees no reason to worry.

Back then, the number of new addresses made lower highs while the price made higher highs. "In 4 of the 6 corrections, there was divergence with price ma...

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...
