The asset’s price fell to sub-$100 levels during the recent market crash. Fortunately, SOL’s price has rallied 18% in the past 30 days and continued that climb this past week. Where will SOL go next?Indeed, the Solana cryptocurrency is finally showing positive momentum after a slow start to the year. There is growing optimism behind the asset, as well as the looming potential of a Solana SOL ETF. SOL’s rally also comes amid a new pro-Bitcoin head, Paul Atkins, being appointed to the SEC. Many anticipate that Atkins will take a more relaxed approach to the crypto sector. The newly revamped SEC could also decide on a Solana SOL ETF in the coming months, which would accelerate a Solana surge. Currently, SOL is around 48% below its ATH. Additionally, SOL’s stablecoin market capitalization has surged since February, recently surpassing $13.07 billion. This signals growing trust and liquidity flowing into the network.
