According to Nansen, SOL’s growing TVL and stable transaction count make it “a hub for active economic activity.”
Furthermore, the analysis firm notes that there is significant potential in SOL’s liquid staking initiative. Nansen states, “There is less than 3% of staked SOL in Solana’s liquid staking protocols, and the opportunity for growth is significant.”
At press time, SOL was trading at $22.11, down by 5.2% in the last 24 hours.
