- Positivity has begun to build for Solana among investors, according to recent data from Santiment.
- According to the analysts, crypto social media has been abuzz with bullish posts regarding the Web3 ecosystem.
- For every single negative post about Solana, there were approximately 5.6 positive ones over the weekend.
- The uptick in sentiment may be due to unconfirmed rumours that tech company Apple is considering a project built on Solana.
Solana, like much of the crypto market, has endured a fairly quiet month. The coin’s native token, SOL, is still trading 6% higher than it was four weeks ago, but news and hype around the project is seemingly subdued.
However, that hasn’t stopped positive sentiment from sweeping across social media, according to research from crypto analysts Santiment.

Bullish Posts Regarding Solana Have Sky-Rocketed over the Past Week
Last week, Santiment posted that Solana had enjoyed a particularly positive Friday on the socials, coinciding with a sharp rise in SOL’s price. The graph, which compares bullish to bearish tweets and other social media posts, is a decent way of assessing which coins are being talked about in a good light – and which are not.
On Friday, Solana posted a positive-to-negative post ratio of almost 6:1, its highest reading since mid-September.

Part of the sentiment shift is due to rumours circling that tech giant Apple is considering Solana as its blockchain of choice for an upcoming Web3 project.
