Why are investors bullish on Solana (SOL)?
SOL’s performance is especially commendable, given that it was one of the worst-affected projects after the collapse of FTX. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) was heavily bullish on SOL and bought a lot of tokens. However, when FTX collapsed, it led to a plunge in SOL’s price. Moreover, several projects exited the Solana (SOL) ecosystem, jumping ship to rival chains. However, the asset has shown incredible performance since then.

The continuous inflow of funds into SOL shows investors are bullish on the project. The inflows also show that investors aren’t bothered by a possible liquidation from FTX. A court has permitted the now-defunct exchange to liquidate its SOL holdings. The sale could have a detrimental effect on the asset’s price. However, investors seem to be ready to take on the incoming dump.
