As a special bonus, Crypto.com states that users who make the most of the feature can win a share of $20,000 worth of BTC for a limited time. Eligible participants also stand to benefit from both parts of the campaign and take home a total of $40 in BTC.
The campaign period, which began in late December, runs until April 10, 2024, at 12:00 a.m. UTC. The staking period runs for three months starting from Jan. 10, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. UTC.
SOL users can participate in a Staking Challenge with $10,000 in the Reward Pool: the top 500 users ranked by the average amount of their SOL stake over the 90 days until April 10 2024 will each win $20 in BTC.
Solana price action
Solana, the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, saw a meteoric price jump in 2023, rallying thousands of percent.
Positive factors, such as hype for the blockchain’s fast transactions, low fees and a batch of meme coins issued on the blockchain, pushed SOL token prices to about $120, up from $38 at the start of November.
Value locked on Solana applications increased in lockstep, climbing to $1.3 billion in tokens from $400 million in November to levels last seen in July 2022.
Although prices have significantly declined, SOL currently trades around the $90 range.
