Coinfomania reports that 
Solana’s settlement times have decreased significantly, with Jito’s CEO attributing the improvement to the network’s ongoing technological progress. The report does not provide a before-and-after figure, elapsed-time measurement, or testing methodology, so the scale of the reduction cannot be independently quantified from the supplied coverage.
The development concerns the speed with which Solana processes transactions. Coinfomania frames shorter settlement times as evidence of continuing network improvements and quotes Jito’s CEO emphasizing Solana’s ongoing development. No separate performance data, network version, validator metrics, or comparative figures from other blockchain networks were included in the coverage.
Market data shows that the operational improvement has not translated into a positive weekly price move for SOL. The token is priced at $88.13, down 0.77% over 24 hours and 6.66% over seven days, while its market capitalization stands at $52.09 billion. DeFiLlama reports $908.5 million in total value locked across Jito, an 8.3% decline over seven days.
The wider crypto market is comparatively stable, with total market capitalization at $2.58 trillion and little overall movement during the latest period. 
Bitcoin is down 0.33% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index stands at 29, indicating a Fear reading. The next point of evidence for the settlement claim would be a published benchmark or comparable network measurements; Coinfomania’s report does not establish how durable or broadly applicable the improvement is.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, Solana (SOL) has moved from $88.13 to $87.77 — -0.41%.
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 ≈ ₦120,988.75 (about $87.77), down 1.6% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
