Solana [SOL] has experienced some recent positive price movements, and although the increases were slight, they impacted its market capitalization.

There has been a slight dip recently, but if the momentum picks up again, it could establish a new market cap range.

Solana crossed the $80 billion market cap range

Analysis of Solana’s market cap showed it started on 5th June at around $79 billion. This increase was due to the recent uptrend in SOL’s price.

By the end of trading, the market cap had crossed the $80 billion mark. This was the first time in weeks it entered the $80 billion range, with the previous instance being in May.

However, as of this writing, the market cap has dropped below the $80 billion range again, currently sitting around $79.2 billion. The decline is due to the decrease in SOL’s price over the last 24 hours.
