Solana

In July, Solana’s decentralized exchanges (DEXs) handled 30% of the total crypto trading volume, surpassing Ethereum. However, the cryptocurrency market is now experiencing significant challenges due to a $500 billion drop triggered by a sell-off in the Japanese stock market.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/041401000fd24f1eb5e0487e883915c5.png" />Solana’s price could decline further to $107 if it falls below $115.
