Sol price falls furthest amongst major tokens

Amidst the decline in the price of SOL, Solana network non-vote transactions are on pace to drop significantly in January, according to The Block's Data Dashboard .
Non-vote transactions, which refers to a movement of SOL between Solana accounts, has fallen from a multi-month high of over 786 million in December, to a low of 491 million 21 days into the month of January.
