<p>In comparison, Bitcoin and Ethereum are only up 106% and 50%, respectively, in 2023, based on the CoinGecko rankings. Other top 10 tokens like XRP, TRON, and Chainlink have posted more modest gains, between 64 and 105%.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-cardano-bnb-and-dogecoin-records-losses">Cardano, BNB and Dogecoin records losses</h2>
<p>Meanwhile, Cardano, Binance Coin, Dogecoin, and TON have joined the losers, recording double-digit losses since January. This showcases just how brutal broad conditions have been in 2023, with crypto markets down over 60% from all-time highs.</p>
<p>Solana’s ability to swim against the tide demonstrates the network’s technical momentum despite recent challenges. The blockchain has faced congestion issues, outages, and critics questioning its decentralization.</p>
<p>In fact, <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/?s=solana" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a> has hit major milestones that validate its value proposition to developers and enterprises. For example, Visa introduced USDC settlement on Solana in September, while Shopify integrated Solana Pay in August.</p>
<p>The network has also maintained strong uptime, with 100% year-to-date availability. This showcases maturing stability and reliability for a blockchain once plagued by frequent outages.</p>
<p>With Solana firing on all cylinders technically while tokens like Ethereum struggle with congestion, its outperformance makes sense. Questions linger around the unknown extent of potential FTX sales impacting SOL markets.</p>
