2022 has not been a good start for cryptocurrencies. To date, the total market capitalization has dropped by 21% to $1.77 trillion. Solana‘s (SOL) correction has been even more brutal, presenting a 48.5% correction year-to-date.
Solana leads the staking charts with $35 billion in value locked, which is equivalent to 74% of the SOL tokens in circulation. Multiple reasons can be identified for the underperformance including four network outages in late 2021 and early 2022.
