Solana Leads With $2.35 Billion ATH
Coined as the “Ethereum Killer,” Solana has catapulted to be the most popular blockchain platform for NFTs as more and more NFTs are attracted to it for a big reason.
In a period of merely 2 years, Solana has successfully battled the three most common problems with blockchains – decentralization, security, and stamina. With this ATH in sales volume, SOL has now exceeded the sales volumes of its peers, like Avalanche, Flow, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Palm, Polygon, Panini, Waves, WAX, Waves, and Tezos.
On the other hand, Solana’s native token SOL has suffered a dip of more than $14 billion in market capitalization in May.
Solana’s spike has been initiated mainly by the sudden increase of unique buyers (83,697) since October 2021, which also propelled the sales to over 374,618 transactions or a whopping total of $286.4 million.
June – Solana’s Lucky Month
The unique buyer count increased by 83% from October, which led to a new milestone or all-time high in NFT new buyers (153,602) in January 2022, with over 1,014,963 transactions. June is also confirmed to b Solana’s lucky month, with an ATH banking more than $298.69 million in total sales volume.
The most famous NFTs that beefed up the total sales volume for Solana comprise the following; Thug Birdz, Infinity Labs, Solsteads, Chainers, Meerkat Millionaire Country Club, SolPunks, Solarians, Akuma no Neko, Cosmic Condos, Portals, and Frakt.

SOL opened the year with a bang, trading at $170.31 on January 1, 2022, and then reached an ATH of $179.43 the following day or on January 2.
These figures were adequate to test the new low of SOL at $38.36 on June 2. SOL is currently trading at $40 as of this writing. In total, this equates to a 77% decline in the price of SOL throughout 2022.
