Solana is trading at 180.72 increasing by nearly 4% on Friday. The recent surge in Solana (SOL) prices can be attributed to the explosive rise of meme coin excitement, notably propelled by Dogewhatif (WIF).
WIF’s astonishing $700,000 fundraising success, far surpassing its $50,000 goal, spurred a 25% price surge and boasted a $3 billion market cap.
This fervor directly influenced SOL’s impressive 24% price hike.

The surge in activity isn’t just about memes; it reflects the underlying strength of Solana’s network, evidenced by a record total-value-locked (TVL) of 23.07 million SOL, the highest since December 2022.
As Solana continues to distinguish itself with lightning-fast transactions and minimal fees, it becomes a hotbed for meme coin mania. WIF’s connection to Solana’s robust infrastructure amplifies its appeal, potentially positioning it beyond meme status and into the realm of decentralized finance (DeFi). While debates over its long-term viability persist, the surge in SOL prices underscores the growing influence of meme coins within the crypto-verse.
Solana’s (SOL) remarkable price surge resonates with the broader cryptocurrency market uplift, led by Bitcoin’s ascent to record highs above $72,000.
This bullish wave, further amplified by the approval of Bitcoin-centric ETFs and ETPs in major markets, has injected a fresh dose of optimism across the crypto sector.
The consequential spike in investment flow highlights a growing appetite among investors for digital assets.
