Bitcoin Slump and Market Overview
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have recently been launched, attracting mixed reactions across the industry. The spot Bitcoin ETF launch has also been welcomed by an over 6% depreciation in the value of Bitcoin in the past 30 days
Meanwhile, Pantera Capital’s managing partner Paul Veradittakit has said that the crypto market leaves the 2021-2023 crash with a much more durable basis than one would see in the previous bear markets.
The sustained selling pressure is partly attributed to the approval of Spot Bitcoin ETF, with Bitcoin declining to a low of $38,555 on Jan. 23.
The decline in the price of Bitcoin triggered substantial liquidation, resulting of $55.52 million in long positions and $27.42 million in short positions.
Top altcoins including ETH, MATIC and also BNB have seen losses between 5.5% – 12.5%, over a the last 7 days
Solana’s Unique Position
Solana (SOL) has displayed exceptional performance over the past one year, performing much better than ETH, despite the adverse market conditions.

Currently, Solana (SOL) is trading at around $91, representing an over 20% decline on the monthly timeframe, according to CoinGecko.
