The Solana [SOL] ecosystem has become one of the biggest successes in the crypto space over the past few months, and one of the outstanding reasons is the significant growth of Solana NFTs.
According to the latest data, Solana has outpaced both Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] in terms of unique NFTs traded over the past month. However, the growth in NFT volume is not due to blue chip collectibles on the Solana network.
Popular projects such as Mad Lads, Solana Monkey Business, Clayosaurrz all recorded significant floor price drops in the past week, suggesting that the growth in NFT volume is mainly coming from newly created NFTs on the Solana network that have not been popular. Interest in less popular NFTs also indicates a healthy and growing ecosystem.
However, Solana’s performance in other areas, such as the DeFi sector, also plays an important role in the sustainability assessment of the protocol and its ecosystem. As for decentralized exchange (DEX) volume, the protocol recorded a large decline in activity, from $4 billion to $1 billion.

Despite the decrease in decentralized exchange (DEX) volume, the Total Value Locked (TVL) on the Solana network remains stable. Regarding the SOL price situation, at the time of writing, SOL is trading at 144.93 USD. Despite the popularity of Solana NFTs and the state of the overall ecosystem, SOL prices continue to decline.

In the last few days, Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) for SOL has increased sharply, suggesting that inflows into SOL are increasing strongly and could create a spike in buying pressure in the future. However, SOL’s RSI (Relative Strength Index) has dropped sharply over the past few days, showing that SOL’s upward momentum has weakened.
