Solana ($SOL) Price Up Nearly 30% in a Week As It Moves To Overtake Dogecoin ($DOGE) Market Cap

The price of Solana ($SOL) has moved up nearly 30% over the last seven days to now trade above the $26 mark, as the cryptocurrency has been quickly recovering from the collapse of FTX, and as developers keep building on it.

According to available market data, Solana has been outperforming most other top digital assets over the last few weeks, going from a low under the $10 mark late last year to its current level amid a wider market recovery.

Solana currently has a market capitalization of $9.96 billion, making it the 11tth largest digital asset by the metric, above Polkadot ($DOT), which has a market capitalization of $8.7 billion, but below the meme-inspired cryptocurrency Dogecoin ($DOGE), which has an $11.73 billion market cap. SOL has notably been outperforming DOGE.

While DOGE’s movements have been smaller, the cryptocurrency has seen some noticeable whale accumulation. As CryptoGlobe reported, a massive whale on the network has recently accumulated a significant number of tokens, to the point they are now the 20th largest wallet on the cryptocurrency’s blockchain, with over 700 million DOGE.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
