SOL

A new Dogecoin doppelganger on the Solana network experienced a 9400% increase in value in a single day, with a market cap of $160,690. This surge comes amid Solana's 71.9% increase in December, positioning it as a potential Ethereum killer. The Solana Mobile's announcement of the 'Two' phone for 2025, expected to offer special airdrops and access to Solana-based apps, has also contributed to the network's allure. However, the new Dogecoin's low liquidity of $24,600 suggests potential volatility and challenges for investors.
