Solana Activity Surges: Is A Price Breakout Imminent? Analyst Foresees Rally To $150

Solana SOL/USD may be primed for another price breakout following positive developments in the community and potential flows to altcoins.

What Happened: Activity on Solana is picking up, evidenced by several developments in the ecosystem.

Nansen data shows a 98.9% surge in Solana monthly active addresses in December. The 13.9 million active addresses topped Binance's BNB Chain (13.7 million) and far exceeded Ethereum (5.4 million).

Furthermore, Solana-based decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregator Jupiter announced Jan.31, 2024 as its official launch date for an expected token airdrop of 1 billion freshly minted JUP tokens to the wallets of Solana DeFi users. 

The aggregator also hinted at a memecoin launch in its announcement, saying: “Yes, it is a real memecoin.  No, it is not by Jupiter. No, it is not MEOW. Just wait.”

Solana Mobile, Solana's smartphone arm, announced preparations for the launch of a second model, promising a more economical price tag and revised hardware components.
