Relevant topic timeline:
Cardano (ADA) has overtaken Polkadot (DOT) as the top cryptocurrency in terms of development activity, indicating a high level of commitment from developers and potential long-term growth for the coin.
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.
Renowned analyst Benjamin Cowen warns that Solana (SOL) may follow a similar price trajectory as Cardano (ADA), potentially experiencing a dip below $10 before rebounding and seeing substantial gains, although historical parallels do not guarantee identical outcomes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Crypto investors are discussing their favorite altcoins that have the potential to make them "incredibly rich," with coins like DeFiChain, Solana, Shiba Inu, and Ethereum being mentioned among others.

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.
