Solana Drops 9.9%, Solana Memecoins Tank Over 20%: Is This The End Of The Dogecoin Killers?
Portfolio Pulse from Khyathi Dalal
Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) has experienced a 9.9% drop over the past week, with Solana-based memecoins such as Bonk, dogwifhat, and WOOF seeing even larger declines. Despite a strong rally in December, the recent downturn is attributed to profit-taking and a shift of investor interest towards other cryptocurrencies, possibly influenced by the anticipation of a Bitcoin ETF. Established memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu also fell but less sharply. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe suggests the altcoin correction is temporary and may rebound post-ETF frenzy.
