Solana (SOL)

Solana leaps to $89.11, posting a 3.2% daily gain and a 7.5% weekly increase, outperforming #5 BNB's 4.95% weekly return as developers return after network reliability improvements that slashed downtime to 99.98% uptime. The surge follows a protocol upgrade reducing transaction latency by 40%, faster than the typical rival chain's update cycles. With $2.8 billion in total value locked, Solana's ecosystem rebuilds momentum, cheaper than the average Ethereum layer 2 in fees per swap. This data-led recovery signals a strong contender against #7 TRON's USDT transfer volume.
