Why Solana Is Up Today, Amid a Sea of Red With Major Cryptocurrencies

Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) is among the few winners in the crypto market today, seeing gains of 5.1% over the past 24 hours, as of 2:30 p.m. ET. This top five cryptocurrency by market cap has seen continued buying, despite weakness in the broader crypto market today.

A range of negative catalysts, from the discovery of the omicron variant in the U.S. to Federal Reserve tapering, have resulted in decreased demand for risk assets. However, investors appear to be diverting their risk-on trades to cryptocurrency tokens with perceived quality, such as Solana.
