Solana has completed the Alpenglow consensus upgrade, according to Crypto Daily. The development updates the network’s consensus process while SOL trades at $89.15, about 28% below the token’s October high. No other outlet supplied coverage of the upgrade in the provided reporting set.
The token is down 0.84% over the previous 24 hours and 5.98% over seven days, extending a broader pullback from October. Solana’s live market capitalization stands at $52.69 billion. Crypto Daily also reports that ETF outflows continue, adding an institutional-flow component to the weaker price performance, although the summary provides no outflow amount or reporting period.
Crypto Daily identifies a Fibonacci level near $84 as an area traders are monitoring. That reference sits $5.15 below the latest SOL price and could serve as a near-term market focal point, though the report does not establish how price might respond. The broader crypto market is comparatively stable, with total capitalization at $2.61 trillion and an overall flat reading.
The wider risk backdrop remains subdued: 
Bitcoin is down 0.04% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed Index stands at 28, placing sentiment in the “Fear” category. Solana’s completed consensus upgrade and the reported continuation of ETF outflows therefore sit alongside negative momentum in SOL and cautious conditions across digital assets. Attention is on whether technical progress is accompanied by improving capital flows and participation, not only the activation of the upgrade itself.
Since this brief published about 9 hours ago, Solana (SOL) has moved from $89.15 to $89.23 — +0.09%.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 SOL ≈ ₦123,048.17 (about $89.23), down 0.3% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
