“This recent rally can be attributed to a confluence of factors, including the growing usage of Solana’s network, increased interest from institutional investors, and a maturing ecosystem, which has seen DEX volumes reach all-time highs as well as an influx of stablecoin deposits,” Jacob Joseph, Research Analyst at CCData, wrote via comments sent through email.

Joe Lee, Founder and CEO of DefiDive, also offered his perspective, emphasizing the robust activity taking place on the Solana network.

“A look at Solana’s on-chain activity reveals a number of significant milestones reached earlier in the week,” he stated over a LinkedIn direct message.

“The number of active wallets hit a year to date record of 648,073 wallets on December 8th, with a corresponding record set of new token accounts on the same day,” he stated.

“When we look at Solana’s activity, the number of active programs is indicative of app usage on Solana’s network, the current activity is at a level not seen since earlier this year in February 2023 and is just shy of its record set in October 2022 of 1207 programs,” said Lee.

“Correlating this week’s run up with Solana’s activity on-chain indicates an influx of new capital onto Solana’s network,” he added.

“This is supported by the technicals and show continued bullish signs of growth that we forecast will outpace the rest of the industry in the short to medium term.”

Aaron Golbin, Founding Partner and Head of Accelerators and Incubators at LvlUp Ventures, offered a different perspective, choosing to focus more on broader macroeconomic developments.

Speaking through LinkedIn direct message, he stressed that the SOL token has experienced some substantial volatility this last week, suffering some significant ups and downs.

“I think this is driven by a few things the first of which is news that the Fed is holding interest rates steady and adjusting their forecast for next year to a overall lower rate one,” said Golbin.

“This affects Solana because a recession and general negative economic outlook hurts crypto in the eyes of many buyers,” he noted.

“Lower interest rates improve the economic outlook and therefore push Solana higher due to the belief that financial transformation and a crypto comeback is more likely to occur in this type of environment. This positive sentiment has been growing, hence the jump in price.”
