U.Today - The digital currency ecosystem is seeing a dramatic bearish turn today with the combined market capitalization slipping by 1.73% to $1.16 trillion. Amid these bearish sell-offs, Solana is relatively higher price growth, especially when compared to its rivals over the trailing seven-day period.

The digital currency is changing hands at $21.95, atop a 1.17% slump overnight. Solana breached the $20 price resistance back on April 10 and, since then, the bulls have held down the fort and prevented a renewed tailspin below this level.

With more users preordering the mobile phone and additional utilities making their way in, the attractiveness of the Solana blockchain is growing. This positive sentiment is pushing a renewed buy-up and also fueling the trust of current holders to HODL their bags.

Encompassing and diversified growth

For Solana, its growth is notably more integrated because of its design model. As earlier by U.Today, Phantom Wallet, one of the most popular decentralized wallet applications on Solana, has extended support for Polygon and Ethereum in a bid to bring enhanced functionality to its core users.

The growth of Solana can also be showcased through its that was released and reported last week. The digital currency saw a significant uptick in generated fees, which grew by more than 65% in the first quarter.

The embrace of Solana by users and Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSD) users is also a testament to its impressive price resilience.
