Ripple’s Legal Triumph Ignites Market as ETH Soars – Solana Stumbles Amid Crypto Rollercoaster

Crypto markets whipawed today as regulatory wins clashed with chain setbacks—proving once again that decentralization still dances to Wall Street's tune.

Ripple's landmark victory: The SEC case resolution sends XRP holders cheering—and sparks fresh debates about regulatory clarity in DeFi's wild west.

Ethereum's bull run: ETH rockets upward as institutional money floods into L2 solutions, leaving Bitcoin maximalists grinding their teeth.

Solana's speed bump: Network congestion woes return like a bad sequel—just as SOL was gaining traction against ETH in the smart contract wars.

Meanwhile, hedge funds quietly reposition portfolios—because nothing says 'financial revolution' like whales manipulating altcoin liquidity between martini lunches.

$3 lawsuit has led to a significant rise in ethereum (ETH)$3,980, while Bitcoin (BTC)$116,528 remains robust. However, Solana$176 (SOL) has encountered unfavorable news, impacting the markets as the trading week concludes. Ethereum is benefiting from the recent announcement of a $5 billion reserve, with similar actions being initiated for other cryptocurrencies. Nevertheless, Solana now faces a challenge.

Updates on Solana

Previously, it was reported that the solana treasury company, led by Joe McCann, was planning a billion-dollar purchase of SOL Coins. Even for Bitcoin, a $1.5 billion purchase is notable, and for lower market cap altcoins like Solana, this figure holds significant importance.

However, the plan to raise cash through a public offering for the Solana treasury was canceled just two weeks after it was revealed that McCann’s hedge fund, Asymmetric, had experienced a 80% loss this year. The failed transformation of a company named DAT into Accelerate, meant to generate revenue for SOL Coins, was initially met with excitement but has now dampened spirits.

Despite this setback, Solana remains very popular and a strong network in the smart contract space. Even though McCann’s plans went awry, other companies may be taking steps to build SOL Coin reserves. As treasury companies for BTC and ETH become more mainstream, alternative options may gain prominence. Solana’s lower market capitalization increases its risk/reward ratio, and companies willing to take this risk might see a high demand for their shares in a bullish environment.

Solana (SOL) Price Action

The SOL Coin, having surpassed $168, has once again set its sights on the $188 resistance level amidst an overall positive market sentiment. If Bitcoin does not experience a sudden downturn and Ethereum hovers around $4,000, SOL Coin might test its resistance area.

The recovery following last week’s decline began at $158, but negative news from Russia could easily reverse the situation. Therefore, investors should be wary of potential downturns during the weekend’s low trading volume.

In the event of a possible decline, the levels of $168 and $155 might be tested. For now, the ETH/BTC pair remains at 0.034, with BTC above $116,000. Incoming news will be pivotal in the coming hours.
