Perplexity Finance data show a 24\u2011hour range between roughly $84.41 and $86.57, with spot market cap hovering near $48.55B and volumes around $57.32M.

Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering around $68,000\u2013$69,000, with 24\u2011hour highs just above $69,000 and lows near $68,150, on roughly $37.8B in trading volume across major BTC\/USD venues. Ethereum (ETH) changes hands close to $1,970\u2013$1,975, after printing a 24\u2011hour high near $2,095.87 and a low around $1,933.97, with market cap near $237B. Solana (SOL) itself trades in the mid\u2011$80s, with Metamask data putting spot near $85.43 and 24\u2011hour volumes approaching $9.75B, a sign that \u201chigh 24h volume\u2026 improves liquidity and reduces slippage for traders.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solana RWA tokenization efforts intensify<\/h2>\n<p>Solana\u2019s RWA tokenization value smashing the 1.66 billion dollar mark reinforces the chain\u2019s narrative as real financial infrastructure, not just a speculative L1, and that matters for SOL\u2019s future pricing power. As more real-world assets settle and trade on Solana, fee revenue, demand for blockspace, and (crucially) the incentive to hold SOL for staking and governance all scale with it, giving fundamentals a chance to catch up with and eventually justify higher valuations in the next risk-on phase.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solana price is catching its breath after a ferocious multi\u2011month rally, slipping back toward the mid\u2011$80s as traders reassess how much upside is left in one of this cycle\u2019s most&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":150,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22131"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22132,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22131\/revisions\/22132"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
