<p>In the tumultuous arena of the cryptosphere, volatility has struck again. Bitcoin drops to $67,759, Ether to $3,705 and BNB to $572. Despite these setbacks, these cryptocurrencies have recently sparkled. Among the highest-rated assets in the world, Solana seems surprisingly shielded from this sharp decline in prices. But what are the reasons for this sudden turmoil?</p>
<h2 id="h-in-the-throes-of-the-crypto-market-solana-shines-like-a-beacon">In the throes of the crypto market, Solana shines like a beacon</h2>
<p>While <strong>Bitcoin and Ethereum have been in the limelight</strong>, reaching impressive peaks of $73,000 and <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/ethereum-crosses-the-4000-threshold-crypto-analysis-of-march-13-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$4,000</a> respectively, Solana is not far behind. <strong>SOL</strong>, ranked among the top five most highly valued assets in the world, has maintained its position, <strong>hovering around $140 on March 5th</strong>. Its meteoric rise does not seem to want to stop.</p>

<p>But what explains this spectacular price surge of Solana today? The recent spike in Solana and its notable gains align with the <strong>hype surrounding the associated memecoin project, Dogewhatif (WIF),</strong> elaborates <a href="https://u.today/solana-sol-in-green-as-crypto-prices-collapse" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cointelegraph</a>.</p>
<p>Supporters of WIF have succeeded in raising $700,000, far exceeding their initial goal of $50,000. With the funds, they emblazoned the token’s logo on the Las Vegas scene. As a result: the price of Dogwifhat (WIF) surged 25%, reaching a <strong>historic high of over $3</strong> and a <strong>market capitalization of $3 billion</strong> following this campaign.</p>

<p>It is noteworthy that Solana’s token price began to rebound shortly after the announcement of the Dogwifhat campaign on March 10th.</p>
<p>Solana bulls have reacted positively to <strong>memecoin project launches on its blockchain</strong>. A recent study by Franklin Templeton notes that the network has captured a significant portion of activity during the period when BONK, its native memecoin, experienced a price surge in Q4/2023.</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://u.today/solana-sol-in-green-as-crypto-prices-collapse" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">U°Today</a>, <strong>the cryptocurrency market is currently going through a period of turbulence</strong>, with all major digital currencies showing red. Bitcoin, the leader of this sphere, has fallen by 7% in the last 24 hours. Similarly, Ethereum and XRP have suffered declines of about 7%, while Dogecoin has been the least performing among the top 10 cryptos, losing 9.5% of its value.</p>
<p>This widespread decline can be attributed to <strong>significant fund flows to Binance</strong>, a crypto exchange <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/binance-in-turmoil-escalating-crisis-for-the-crypto-exchange-and-cz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">currently in turmoil</a>. A notable transaction involving the <strong>movement of 4,637 BTC (worth about $329 million)</strong> to a hot wallet of Binance was observed, reflecting a similar pattern during the fall of bitcoin on March 5th, thus contributing to the current market volatility.</p>

<p>The recent downturn has led to <strong>significant liquidations in the market</strong>. In just the last 24 hours, <strong>more than $661 million</strong> worth of cryptocurrencies have been liquidated, according to CoinGlass. A large portion of these liquidations, amounting to $525.86 million, came from long positions, showing that many traders were betting on a price increase and have been caught off guard.</p>
