Why is Solana (SOL) going up? (April 12, 2023)

Solana was founded by former Qualcomm, Intel, and Dropbox engineers with technology and computing backgrounds. 

The Solana ICO took place in March 2020. Solana managed to raise $25,660,000 by accepting both USD and USDC during the ICO.  

On the other hand, SOL was one of the worst-performing cryptocurrencies of 2022. This negative situation was due to repeated network outages, a cyberattack targeting Solana hot wallets, and the impact of the FTX’s collapse.

SOL is up 3.73% in the last 24 hours. Solana will launch an Android phone called Saga on April 13, 2023. Saga has an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, a 120Hz AMOLED display, a 50MP main camera, a 16MP front camera, and up to 1TB of internal storage. The upcoming launch of Saga may have been instrumental in the rise of SOL.
