<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify"><strong>Solana’s</strong> native token SOL experienced a significant 21% drop last week, reaching its lowest point in about six weeks. This decline triggered the liquidation of $113 million in long futures contracts since April 11, indicating that investors might have been overly optimistic following SOL’s 61% price increase in March.</p> 
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="why-is-solana-falling">Why Is Solana Falling?</h2> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Market analysts note that Solana’s current market value of $60 billion is significantly higher compared to <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/avalanche-avax-price-analysis-will-it-reach-30-in-the-near-future/" data-wpel-link="internal">Avalanche</a>‘s $13 billion and <a href="https://coin-turk.com/tron-kurucusu-justin-sun-acikladi-avrupanin-en-buyuk-borsasinda-listelenme-onayi-alindi" data-wpel-link="internal">Tron</a>‘s $10 billion. However, some argue that this premium is justified by the rapid expansion of the Solana ecosystem with many projects launching their own tokens.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">On April 16, <strong>Coinbase</strong> announced that its wallet is now fully integrated with the Solana decentralized exchange (<a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/decentralized-bitcoin-exchange-portal-raises-34-million-in-funding/" data-wpel-link="internal">DEX</a>) ecosystem, supporting over 50,000 Solana SPL tokens. This integration allows users to enter contract addresses directly into the swap flow, simplifying the trading process and thus reducing entry barriers to Solana’s ecosystem.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Between April 12 and April 17, open positions in SOL futures fell by 40% to $1.5 billion, indicating a decrease in futures demand. Analyzing the SOL futures funding rate could shed light on whether this decline is primarily due to reduced interest in long positions.</p>

<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="recent-events-in-the-solana-network">Recent Events in the Solana Network</h2> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify"><strong>Solana</strong> network recently faced serious congestion issues with a failure rate of up to 75% in transactions. In response, developers launched an upgrade aimed at alleviating these bottlenecks. This issue caused many projects to delay their token launches until the network problems were fully resolved.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Pressure on SOL’s price performance was compounded by glitches in several major projects, including MarginFi. On April 10, MarginFi CEO Edgar Pavlovsky resigned, leading to the withdrawal of $190 million from the ecosystem. The controversy deepened as other Solana-based projects accused MarginFi of not lending to users, highlighting the variability and challenges within the Solana ecosystem.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Despite underlying factors, the decline in Solana SPL tokens was generally felt. In the decentralized finance (<a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/the-risks-presented-for-crypto-assets-analysis-of-the-defi-sector-by-esma/" data-wpel-link="internal">DeFi</a>) sector, Jito (JTO) dropped 29% since April 12, while Raydium (RAY) and Jupiter (JUP) recorded drops of 24% and 27%, respectively. Additionally, leading Solana memecoin projects including Dogwifhat (WIF) experienced a steep 32% decline over a six-day period.</p>
