Major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have already reached their lowest points of the cycle, according to former ARK Invest executive Chris Burniske, who predicts that the long-term uptrend for these digital assets will persist into 2024 and 2025 despite potential market fluctuations.
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.
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.
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.
OnlyFans' parent company, Fenix, has announced a significant investment of $20 million in Ethereum, indicating growing institutional attention to digital assets, while altcoins like Solana (SOL) and InQubeta (QUBE) are emerging as potential cryptocurrencies to be accumulated due to their disruptive technologies and investment prospects.
MakerDAO's co-founder, Rune Christensen, has announced that the final phase of the "Endgame" overhaul will involve launching a native blockchain called NewChain, with Solana considered as the basis due to its technical quality and resilience, sparking backlash from the Ethereum community. Solana's co-founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, responded by emphasizing the open-source benefits and urged against using it as an opportunity to attack Ethereum, stating that Solana's tech stack was inspired by Ethereum. Other experts have supported the validation Solana receives from MakerDAO, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and innovation rather than tribalism.
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.
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.
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.
