According to crypto data aggregator Coinmarketcap, the price of Solana is down more than 20% in the last 7 days alone. These losses align with the general bear market trend being experienced in the crypto sector but the decline in faith in the digital asset brought about by the collapse of FTX, Solana’s biggest support, puts added pressure on it.

Sam Bankman-Fried, through FTX and Alameda Research, had funneled massive amounts of funds into the Solana ecosystem, which in hindsight reveals why the network had grown so much in such a short period of time. However, with all of that money gone, the network has had a hard time keeping up.
