Solana just hit $200 for the first time in seven months, jumping 8.69% as the crypto market rallies post-US election. Its currently at $203.88 which represents a 22.25% rise since last week and whopping 370% over the last year. Despite being 23% below its all-time high of $260, it’s riding the bullish wave fueled by Trump’s win and pro-crypto candidates in Congress. Hence overall market peaked, with Bitcoin and Ethereum also hitting record highs.
Following recent US presidential election, whole crypto market saw huge growth, which benefitted big names such as Bitcoin, which is currently trading at its all time high $75K. And so, Solana also hopped in on the party by finally breaking through its $200 mark after struggling for seven months. While this is still below its all-time high, this performance ignites optimism for future gains.
On the day of election, crypto market witnessed massive burst after Trump was announced victorious. Reportedly, the market capitalization rose by 5% that day and reached a staggering $2.56 trillion. One of the reasons for this might be the shear amount of pro-crypto candidates inside the House of Representatives.
