Solana (SOL) exited 2023 with a bang, as its transaction volume was up an astronomical 700%, with a $200 price point nearing. Indeed, the on-chain metrics for the asset had noted a massive rally to close out the year. Moreover, early in 2024, the asset had carried on with its momentum, with some declines taking place.

Ultimately, the first week of December 2023 saw it reach its highest levels in a year.
