Solana (SOL)

Solana's price of $86.36 is down 2.14% on the day, but a 1.23% weekly gain hints that its network activity—especially in DePIN—still attracts long-term holders. Its average transaction fee of $0.00025 is 99% cheaper than the average on Ethereum layer-1, giving it a cost edge over #8 TRON in low-value transfers. Daily active addresses exceed 1.5 million, a metric that outperforms #2 (Ethereum) in raw throughput. Despite short-term volatility, Solana's ecosystem growth, with over 250 new projects launched in April, suggests this dip may be a buying opportunity for those focused on utility.
