Following NFT hype and growing demand in the DeFi community, the price of cryptocurrency Solana or SOL more than tripled during the summer of 2021. This had all but evaporated by the end of 2022, as a price of 151 U.S. dollars for SOL on Jun 30, 2025, was similar to the price of Solana in early 2021. The collapse of crypto trader FTX in 2022 especially impacted the cryptocurrency, as FTX and its sister firm Alameda Research sold a large amount of the coin to avoid bankruptcy. The Solana protocol is similar to Ethereum in that it can allow for nun-fungible tokens to be created ('minted') or traded. Solana, however, uses a technology called 'PoH' or Proof of History, which allows it to reach high transaction speeds. The Solana Foundation - the creators of the protocol, based in Switzerland - claims they could reach up to 65,000 transactions per second compared to 16 for Ethereum. Additionally, Solano had no transaction fees or 'gas', unlike Ethereum, which had growing transaction costs. These two reasons combined - Solana being deemed cheaper and faster than Ethereum - turned this relatively young protocol into a breeding ground for NFT projects in August 2021.
The market cap of Solana, a cryptocurrency connected with Decentralized Finance or DeFi, grew by *** percent in the summer of 2021. Originally launched only in **********, the rapid growth in 2021 made the digital coin one of the biggest in the world in terms of market capitalization. The altcoin's move into the spotlight coincided with the growing interest in NFTs and especially DeFi, as Solana is one of the biggest blockchains in this world. It is seen as a direct competitor to Ethereum, in that it can power decentralized applications, but in a more efficient way. Solana is said, for instance, to reach transaction speeds that are similar to a VISA transaction whilst using far less energy than Bitcoin miners.
The sum of Solana network fees paid whenever a payment transaction is initiated on the blockchain stayed roughly the same since October 2021. These transaction fees - commonly denoted as gas - exceeded over 1,000 SOL on a single day. Given that the Solana blockchain can process millions of transactions per day, this means that the gas price of an individual SOL would be well below 0.01. The growing gas sum coincided with the increasing importance of Decentralized Finance or DeFi, and more blockchains being used for the development of new financial applications.
By July 2024, over 464 million Solana tokens were issued and in active circulation - but new coins arrive slowly. Although the cryptocurrency has an unlimited supply - unlike Bitcoin, of which there can only be 21 million tokens and not a single more - the Solana blockchain only issues a set amount of new tokens at the beginning of each year. This issuance is based off the year-to-year inflation rate, and can therefore vary. When SOL first launched, there was a maximum supply of around 500 million, but the blockchain burned (erased from the blockchain) 11 million of them. By December 2021, the maximum supply was around 510 million SOL.
Solana is a public blockchain platform. It is open-source and decentralized, with consensus achieved using proof of stake and proof of history. Its internal cryptocurrency is SOL. Bloomberg considers Solana to be "a potential long-term rival for Ethereum". Like Ethereum, Solana can interact with smart contracts. On 14 September 2021, the Solana blockchain went offline after a surge of transactions caused the network to fork, and different validators had different views on the state of the network. The network was successfully brought back online early on 15 September. The Solana platform has become increasingly popular as of October 2021 because of the perceived mining efficiency and scalability, i.e., the perception that the blockchain will be relatively easy to use when lots of computers are running it. Particularly, the perceived scalability leads many to think it will be an effective DeFi platform. Solana's scaling capability, comfortably handling roughly 50,000 transactions per second, is also exponentially faster than any major competitor.
This dataset provides the history of daily prices of Solana. All the column descriptions are provided. Currency is USD.
The dominance of Solana (SOL) almost tripled between July and August 2021, and continued to grow in the following months. Within the crypto world, this so-called "dominance" ratio is one of the oldest and most investigated metrics available. It measures the coin's market cap relative to the overall crypto market - for instance, it shows how strong Bitcoin is compared to all the other cryptocurrencies that are not BTC, called "altcoins". In the case of Solana, the dominance somewhat reveals how often it is used for smart contracts and whether it is a popular blockchain for Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications.
The number of addresses that actively sent or received Solana coins on the blockchain grew by over ****** between October and November 2021. Reaching well over *********** addresses for the month of November, the graphic reveals that network activity was at its highest recorded level since the start of 2021. This is due to the growing popularity of both NFTs and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) combined with the growing transactions fees on Ethereum - the biggest blockchain for both of these activities. The growing gas price for Ethereum led people to find both cheaper as well as faster alternatives, of which Solana is one.

Solana processed nearly 500 million coin transfers in a single month by late 2021, an increase from figures during the summer. A transfer consist of a native coin or token getting moved on its blockchain, and the source does not immediately clarify whether this equals a metric called "transaction volume" or not. A historical time series on network activity for Solana specifically has been difficult to track due to the network's speed: It is meant to process many more transactions than its competitors Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain. Some dashboards list the network's total transaction count - as of December 7 - on roughly 43.7 billion, since April 2020.

The dataset tabulates the Solana Beach population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Solana Beach across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.
Key observations
In 2023, the population of Solana Beach was 12,675, a 0.36% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Solana Beach population was 12,721, a decline of 0.77% compared to a population of 12,820 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Solana Beach decreased by 319. In this period, the peak population was 13,391 in the year 2016.

Solana's trading volume increased significantly on September 7, 2021, compared to the previous and following days due to changes in Ethereum's transaction fees. Indeed, these so-called gas prices from Ethereum increased by around *** percent on that single day. This caused many people to look for cheaper blockchains that - like Ethereum - provide an infrastructure for the development of Decentralized Finance or DeFi applications.

The price of Solana was especially volatile in September 2021, with percentages changing significantly on a near daily basis. Some sources attribute these price fluctuations to investor sentiment - with uncertainty on China's Evergrande dominating financial news during that time. Measured in a metric called volatility, the percentage shown here reflect how much the price of Solana in U.S. dollars changed historically over a preceding 10-day window. Changes can be either up or down, with a higher volatility reflecting that an asset is more risky, as price movements are less easy to predict and can swing in any direction.
