- AKT Launches on Solana as Akash Starts Migration From Cosmos — this brief
Crypto.news reported that Akash Network’s native AKT token became available on 
Solana through Sunrise. The launch gives AKT holders access to Solana’s decentralized finance ecosystem, while also serving as the opening step in Akash’s planned migration away from Cosmos. Solana made the development public in an announcement dated November 12.
Because only Crypto.news covered the launch, the reporting is limited to the token’s availability, the Sunrise route and the start of the broader migration. The supplied coverage does not provide a launch date for AKT trading, a distribution figure, a Cosmos-side schedule or details about how the two chains will operate together during the transition.
Akash’s token deployment expands its connection to Solana, one of the larger platforms in decentralized finance. DeFiLlama’s live data places total DeFi TVL on Solana at $4.97 billion, representing the ecosystem into which AKT holders are being introduced. The wider Akash migration remains the central strategic element identified in the report.
Market conditions were subdued when the data was captured. SOL was priced at $80.49, down 2.97% over 24 hours and 10.58% over seven days, with a $47.6 billion market capitalization. The total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.4 trillion, the broader market was broadly lower, and 
Bitcoin fell 5.56% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index registered 20, labeled Extreme Fear.
The launch and announced migration put AKT’s integration with Solana DeFi into focus, while the market backdrop shows that digital assets were under pressure during the period. The next relevant milestones are AKT activity on Solana and further implementation details for Akash’s transition from Cosmos; the supplied report does not specify dates, targets or expected outcomes for those steps.
Since this brief published about 18 hours ago, Solana (SOL) has moved from $80.49 to $78.31 — -2.71%.
The chart plots SOL's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 SOL ≈ ₦110,319.21 (about $78.31), down 4.0% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 4.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
