It is unclear why the rapper got the “Solana” tattoo after selling his SOL holdings. The rapper may have booked profits and decided to unload his SOL tokens. The token took a rough beating in November 2022 when the FTX crypto exchange went bankrupt. SOL’s price fell below $10 by 2022 end. The token has made quite a recovery in the time since FTX’s fall.

Garcia may have sold his SOL tokens to book profits, or the rapper may be expecting a price correction. SOL has been one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies of the past two years, rising from as little as $9.77 in December 2022 to surpassing the $200 mark earlier this year.
CoinCodex data highlights that Solana’s (SOL) price may remain at current levels for the remainder of the month. The platform, however, predicts SOL to reclaim the $170 mark in early July, hitting $172.66 on July 8, 2024.
