Relevant topic timeline:
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are unlikely to reach new lows in 2023, according to former ARK Invest executive Chris Burniske, who warns against "bottom vultures" calling for lower prices without intentions of going long, predicting that the long-term uptrend will continue in 2024 and 2025.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are facing intense pressure as prices drop and short-term holders offload their assets, signaling a possible capitulation phase and suggesting further downside potential. Additionally, major altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano have witnessed a decline in their Total Value Locked (TVL) over the past week, indicating a decrease in popularity and utilization in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
Bitcoin and Ether rose over 3% to reach their highest prices in a week, while Solana, NEAR, Cardano, Polkadot, and Binance's altcoins also experienced gains, following a surge in traditional markets; however, experts predict that the downtrend in digital assets may continue for the next few weeks.
Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) led the gains in the crypto market as Bitcoin (BTC) gradually recovered, with large holders returning to the market aiding the recovery.
Cardano (ADA) is predicted to surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum to become the world's largest cryptocurrency, according to Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of IOG.
Cardano (ADA) may enter a "depression" phase, with its price potentially dipping significantly and reaching lower price levels, according to crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen.
The total value of assets locked in Solana's blockchain has increased by 50% since the beginning of 2023, with the volume of transactions also rising, indicating a potential recovery in SOL price despite its current downward trend.
Crypto strategist The Flow Horse is bullish on Solana (SOL), Phemex's upcoming utility token, and Rollbit's native token RLB, besides Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Cardano (ADA) price shows signs of rebound as a spike in ADA staking could potentially spark a bullish momentum in the coming weeks, with holders staking $50 million in the last 5 days and aiming for gains before selling, while resistance at $0.28 could pose a challenge.
Solana (SOL) has the potential for significant gains in the next bull market, as it competes against other projects in the crypto space, while Binance Coin (BNB) faces uncertainty due to regulatory developments in the United States.
Collapsed crypto exchange FTX's new management is potentially planning to sell its large holdings of Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency, prompting Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko to suggest distributing the SOL to ex-FTX customers as a "win-win" solution.
Solana (SOL) price dropped 12% and found support at $19.15, but could rally 10% if bullish momentum continues.
Solana (SOL) is predicted to outperform Ethereum (ETH) in the next risk expansion in crypto markets, according to venture capitalist Chris Burniske.
Interest in altcoins may have waned, but Solana remains the most loved altcoin amongst investors, with $700,000 invested in it over the past week and $26 million year-to-date inflows.
The price of bitcoin fell nearly 1% in the past 24 hours to below $25,700, following a surge last week after Grayscale's court victory, while the announcement of extended oil production cuts by Saudi Arabia and Russia could be bearish for bitcoin prices. However, Solana's SOL token saw a 3.7% increase after Visa's announcement of expanding its stablecoin settlement capabilities with Circle's USDC stablecoin to the Solana blockchain.
Visa's announcement of expanding its stablecoin capabilities to the Solana blockchain caused a 5% increase in the value of Solana's sol token, which aims to rival Ethereum due to its speed and cost effectiveness.
Cardano and Solana are two cryptocurrencies that have the potential to surpass Ethereum in the long run, with Cardano's emphasis on decentralized finance and growth in emerging markets, and Solana's focus on mobile crypto and innovative blockchain technology. However, overtaking Ethereum, which has a first-mover advantage and a dominant position, is a challenging task.
The price of Solana (SOL) has dropped over 6% in the last 24 hours due to concerns that bankrupt crypto exchange FTX may sell off significant amounts of SOL and other Solana-based tokens, totaling $128 million, on the market.
FTX, the failed crypto exchange, owns $1.16 billion worth of Solana (SOL) tokens, which represents over one-third of its total liquid crypto portfolio.
Crypto markets experienced a decline as FTX's potential selling pressure raised concerns, causing Bitcoin to fall below $25,000 for the first time since mid-June, and altcoins to underperform, particularly Solana (SOL).
Amidst a downturn in the crypto market, both Dogecoin and Cardano have experienced significant losses, but while Dogecoin's future remains uncertain, Cardano offers potential for long-term investment due to its utility and improving metrics despite regulatory challenges.
XRP and Solana, despite experiencing significant losses over the past 30 days, are showing potential for a comeback due to important catalysts such as court rulings and partnership agreements with major institutions. Both cryptocurrencies have strong underlying value and growth prospects, making them bullish investments.
Bitcoin's rise may trigger leverage liquidations and price increases for alternative cryptocurrencies like solana's SOL, as traders who were shorting those tokens risk being forced to cover their positions.
Bitcoin is showing strength and could reach $28,000 despite negative news, according to Altcoin Sherpa, a popular crypto trader, while cautioning about the downward trend of Ethereum rival Solana.
The volatility in Bitcoin remains low, similar to the stability in US stock and bond markets, and is expected to continue after the Federal Reserve rate decision. The filing from FTX's bankruptcy estate reveals that Sam Bankman-Fried's father, Joe Bankman, was paid a $200,000 salary by FTX's US division but expected to receive $1 million annually. Binance's Bitcoin trading volumes have decreased significantly due to lawsuits and regulatory scrutiny, while Coinbase's volumes have increased. TON coin has replaced Solana's SOL token as the 10th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
