Solana has followed a bearish trend in recent days and weeks but the native SOL token could now be about to turn.
SOL dipped below $30 for the first time since June following the release of US Consumer Price Index data and despite a mini-recovery earlier in the week is still currently struggling to break out.
The Mango Market Hack - which saw $100 million stolen - also affected the price, with the dApp built on the Solana blockchain. The hack saw 30$ of Solana's Total Value Locked (TVL) wiped instantly.
Top SOL NFT marketplace Magic Eden also saw customers and creators leave after revealing they would make royalties optional.
