What’s new? The SOL/ETH ratio — a measure of the value of one native token of the Solana blockchain to one Ethereum token — has hit a new record high after market turmoil caused cryptocurrency prices to plummet since August 5. According to TradingView data, the SOL exchange rate reached 0,06135 ETH on August 7.
What else is known? The rise comes amid a sharp $500 billion cryptocurrency sell-off triggered by turmoil in traditional financial markets, trading activity by market maker Jump Crypto, and broader macroeconomic instability.
The ETH exchange rate fell by 22% on August 5, while SOL lost 36%. However, at the end of the sell-off, the SOL price rebounded 39% from its local low of $110 to reach $152,8 at the time of publication. In turn, the ETH rate rose only by 17%, rising from a yearly low of $2157 to $2519.
In March, the SOL/ETH ratio reached 0,0591, this happened during the Solana rally, as a result of which the market capitalization of the asset reached its historical high at $89,8 billion.
