As of now, SOL is edging toward $100, its market capitalization has eclipsed BNB, and it has vaulted into the fourth‑largest cryptocurrency by market value.
Since mid‑October, the public‑chain Solana (SOL) has displayed unusually strong price performance. After breaching $80 yesterday, its market cap moved past XRP, propelling it into the fifth‑largest coin tier; today, around 10 a.m. UTC, the contract market on Binance (U.S. users should use Binance.US) surged again to $99.5, representing roughly a 17 % gain over the previous 24 hours.
SOL market cap overtakes BNB, climbs into the fourth‑largest slot
The swift price rally directly lifted Solana’s market cap above BNB, reaching approximately $421 billion, officially making it the fourth‑largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Solana ecosystem DEX trading volume exceeds ETH for the first time
- Within the Solana ecosystem, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) recorded a 7‑day average trading volume that, for the second time in history, surpassed Ethereum (ETH).
- Single‑day trading volume broke the $1.2 billion mark.
- Analysts point out that Solana benefits from lower transaction fees and faster confirmation times, which markedly improve user experience; coupled with a recent “wealth effect” in the ecosystem, the market‑share outlook appears increasingly bullish.
Definition:
DEX (Decentralized Exchange) refers to a trading platform that operates on a blockchain without the need for a centralized intermediary.
