Solana price climbed 88% over the past month. Bitcoin’s October rally fueled a bullish outlook among market participants, driving gains in altcoins like SOL.
While crypto influencers and retail traders have critiqued Solana for its association with bankrupt FTX exchange’s Samuel Bankman-Fried, former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes jumped in on the SOL wagon for the asset’s performance.
SOL price performance attracts crypto traders to Solana
Solana price climbed 88% in the past month and 35% in the past seven days, on Binance. The Ethereum competitor has garnered the attention of retail traders, with its massive price action. Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) climbed nearly 32% between October 2 and November 2.

The activity on Solana has increased, there is a 25% increase in daily active addresses and transactions, based on data from Santiment. The volume of daily trades climbed to highs previously seen in November 2022, when the bankrupt FTX exchange collapsed.
Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes attributed Solana’s price action to his SOL purchase. The crypto community looks up to Hayes for identifying the most profitable positions in altcoins. Hayes’ move is therefore likely to influence his followers on X.
