Solana (SOL), the native cryptocurrency of the network of the same name, achieved a significant milestone over the weekend when it flipped two of the world's largest crypto assets by market capitalization -- Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) -- in terms of trading volume.
Solana has surpassed Binance Coin (BNB) and Ripple's XRP since Monday, and has continued to retain its spot as the fourth-largest crypto asset by market capitalization, based on the latest data from crypto aggregator CoinMarketCap.
But, during the past weekend, SOL captivated crypto traders' interest as its weekend trading volume on major centralized crypto exchange platforms crossed that of Bitcoin and Ethereum. This significant milestone was first shared by Coinbase director Conor Grogan last Sunday, noting that Solana had more trading volume versus combined trading volume of Bitcoin and Ether.
