- Solana price slips to $170 at the time of writing, down nearly 4% on the day.
- Solana economic activity hit its fourth consecutive all-time high, according to Blockworks data.
- SOL could correct over 5% if it extends its losses further.
Solana (SOL) corrects to the $170 level early on Friday. The native token of the Solana blockchain is in a state of decline even as on-chain metrics suggest rising activity on the chain.
