Why Is Basic Attention Token Price Rising?
The question on everyone’s mind is why is the BAT price rising so quickly? The big news regarding Basic Attention has to do with the recent Solana partnership that was announced earlier today.
The announcement states that Brave has partnered with Solana to integrate it into the browser and make it the default DApp.

Surprisingly enough, there hasn’t been much of a response in Solana’s price as it continued to trade sideways throughout the day.
