From the chart above, it is clear that Solana’s stablecoin activity has been on a steady rise since October, increasing by more than 650% in the past few months.&nbsp; This growth has also impacted the network’s share in the stablecoin market, with Solana now boasting about 32% market share. 
Unsurprisingly, Ethereum leads the market for stablecoins, with its transfer volume already reaching almost $317 billion in January. Meanwhile, the Tron network trails Solana in third place, with a stablecoin volume of roughly $240 billion. 
On Thursday, January 18, <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/solana-paxos-stablecoin-expansion-january-2024/amp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Paxos revealed the launch of its regulated stablecoin, USDP, on the Solana</a> network.

<h2 id="strong-sol-price-overview-strong">SOL Price Overview</h2> 
Despite Solana’s burgeoning network activity, the price performance of its native token SOL has somewhat dampened in the past few weeks. As of this writing, the <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/solana/solana-meme-coins-sol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Solana token</a> is valued at $92, reflecting a 0.6% decline in the last 24 hours. 
This sluggish performance in the past day underscores the altcoin’s challenges since the turn of the year. After reaching a multi-month high of $124 at the end of 2023, the <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/sol-price-reaches-90/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">SOL price</a> has largely struggled to hold above the $100 mark. 
According to data from CoinGecko, the Solana token is down by more than 5% in the past week. Meanwhile, the coin has declined by about double that figure since the beginning of 2024. 
Nevertheless, SOL maintains its position as the <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/solana/solana-price-will-climb-to-750/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">fifth-largest cryptocurrency</a> in the sector, with a market capitalization of more than $40 billion.
