Solana’s SOL (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/solana-price-index">SOL</a>) has become the latest altcoin to hit new yearly highs amid a wider crypto rally, with activity on the blockchain spurred by a scramble to buy up the Dogwifhat (WIF) memecoin.&nbsp;
In the last 24 hours, SOL has posted a 13.3% gain, rising rapidly from $108 to reach a new yearly high of $124.17 at the time of publication, per CoinGecko <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/solana" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">data</a>.

Preceding the Solana rally was a frenzy of buying activity for the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/trader-gambles-226k-solana-memecoin-1-69m-five-days">Solana-based memecoin Dogwifhat</a> (WIF), which has seen its price rise 55% from $0.52 on Feb. 27 to $0.82 at the time of publication. 
Launched on Dec. 14, 2023, WIF is a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/tags/memecoin">memecoin</a> that features a picture of a Solana developer’s dog wearing a knitted hat. Since its inception, WIF has gained more than 50,000%. 
SOL, however, still remains down 52% from its all-time high of $259.62, which it reached on Nov. 6, 2021. 
Solana wasn’t the only large-cap cryptocurrency to reach new highs for 2024, with both Binance’s BNB (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/binance-coin-price-index">BNB</a>) and Dogecoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/doge-price-index">DOGE</a>) notching respective highs of $427 and $0.12 roughly two hours before Solana. 
Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) has been leading the market’s gains as institutional inflows into the recently approved spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to strengthen following their approval on Jan. 11.

The 10 ETFs <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-etf-volumes-7-billion-break-records">generated a record-breaking</a> $7.7 billion volume on Feb. 28. 
On the same day, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF attracted more than $612 million in inflows, the largest single-day inflow of any ETF to date.

Bitcoin is currently changing hands for $62,413, up 21% in the last week and 44% in the last month. 
Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price">ETH</a>) has also posted its highest price of 2024, reaching a local high of $3,492 on Feb. 28. 
Several market pundits are looking to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bullish-investment-strategies-before-spot-eth-etf-approval">the upcoming spot Ether ETF</a> as a catalyst for its growth in the coming months, with many predicting that ETH’s price action could chart a similar path to Bitcoin in the lead-up to its spot ETF products being approved.
