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.
