It’s safe to say that Solana has been one of the strongest performers at present. Not only there is enough interest, but it also has a great potential to going forward in near future. Market experts have dubbed it as a ‘Solana Summer’, and at this momentum is expected to stay strong till the year end. Many predict that Solana is expected to outperform itself even in 2022 and will achieve new highs.

Conclusion  

Solana has peaked just at the right time, especially when the crypto market seems to have pulled itself out of the rut that it witnessed in May-July this year. A sedate August, followed by a consolidation period in September, Solana has got wings and is flying high since then. The Degenerate Apes NFT has helped Solana to expand its horizons and since then there is no stopping. If all goes well, we could see Solana entering 2022 with a US $400 price and this would mean it would touch greater heights in 2022.
