The SOL token has been on an absolute tear this week, posting over 25% in the last seven days.
SOL Market Cap Surpasses $70 billion
The native token of the Solana blockchain network, SOL, has rallied further to hit a new all-time high of $250.47 on Nov. 5, as per data from CoinMarketCap.
As previously reported by SolanaNews, the token hit a then all-time high of $247 on Nov. 4. The new all-time high of $250.49 hit over the past day also led to the token briefly flipping the most utilized stablecoin Tether (USDT) in market cap. At the time of writing, the token trades at $232, 6% shy of the all-time high.
“All of finance is 20% of the world’s GDP. If the software replaces 1% [of the work involved keeping the financial system running], that’s a huge amount of work that doesn’t need to be done. That’s literally: you can work four days a week now and have the same standard of living,” mentioned Anatoly Yakavenko, the founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Solana Labs, in an interview with The Pavlovic Today on Nov. 5.
Along with the SOL token setting new records, the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols on the Solana network hit an all-time high of nearly $15 billion on Nov. 4, as per data from DeFiLlama. Out of this TVL, Raydium dominates the network with $2 billion in TVL.
