 <p class="paragraph">Once again, the increased activity for its infrastructure affects the demand for SOL, the token. Despite having one of the most inflationary tokenomics among all cryptocurrencies, this demand favored Solana investors.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Interestingly, SOL started trading in 2023 at $9.95 per token, closing the year at $101.71 for a 921% surge. As of writing, SOL trades at $97.56, holding the 100 times price increase.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Nevertheless, past performance is no guarantee of the future. Solana must be able to constantly attract demand and network activity for it to continue rewarding its investors.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Moreover, this demand must overcome the recurrent daily unlocks worth over $8 million in SOL. Plus, Solana’s observed yearly inflation of around 18% might create strong selling pressures in the future.</p>
