Solana saw a significant surge of almost 3% today, trading at $156.73 according to CoinGecko. This upward movement can be attributed to positive market sentiment and exciting developments within the SOL ecosystem. The broader cryptocurrency market is recovering, and Solana is benefitting from increased investor interest.
Rapid Sellout of Solana Gaming Device PSG1
One of the major drivers of $SOL’s surge today is the announcement from Play Solana Gen-1 handheld gaming console which reported being completely sold during its discounted pre-sale phase. This device is highly anticipated by gamers and SOL community members. While the discounted sale phase has ended, the platform assured potential buyers that the pre-order wave 1 for PSG1 will be opening soon, giving users another chance to get the gaming device. This news has added a spark of excitement surrounding Solana’s ecosystem. The rapid sellout of PSG1 units has further fueled optimism about the platform’s growing popularity.
