SOL/ETH Hits New All Time High
Following a market upheaval that saw crypto prices fall sharply for the week, the SOL/ETH ratio—a gauge of the worth of one Solana token to one Ether token—has set a new all-time high.
According to TradingView data, the Solana to Ether ratio peaked on Aug. 6 at 0.0595.
It follows a severe $500 billion crypto sell-off brought on by macroeconomic uncertainty, outsized selling by Jump Crypto, and upheaval in established financial markets.
On Aug. 5, Ether dropped as much as 22%; Solana sank 36% within the same period.
Still, SOL’s price has risen 35% from a local low of $110 on Aug. 5 to $144 at the time of publication following the sell-off.
While the price of ETH bounced only 15%, it rallied from a yearly low of $2,157 to a price of $2,463 at the time of publication.
Previously, the SOL/ETH ratio had risen as high as 0.0591 in March during a significant price movement in Solana, which saw the asset momentarily notch a new all-time high in terms of market value.
