Solana TVL Hits All-Time High in SOL Terms, DEX Activity High, But SOL Price Still Under Pressure
On April 6th, as per Cointelegraph, although SOL's price declined by 9% from March 28th to April 4th, Solana's on-chain metrics have remained robust. On April 2nd, the total value locked (TVL) for DApps on the Solana network reached 53.8 million SOL, attaining a new high since June 2022, which is equivalent to $6.5 billion, and leading BNB Chain by around $780 million.

Despite being embroiled in MEV controversies, Solana continues to receive developer and user support in terms of underlying scalability and Web3 experience, thereby solidifying its position as the second-largest decentralized

This, in turn, will ultimately lead to a greater adoption of Bitcoin as a store of value asset. Park believes that the economic instability resulting from the trade war will compel governments around the world to adopt inflationary fiscal and monetary policies, further devaluing fiat currencies.
