Bitcoin Upset Solana and Altcoin Bears! However, as soon as worries about potential selling pressure on FTX dissipated, BTC resumed its typical course and soared back above $26,000.
Those who had previously wagered against altcoins like SOL in anticipation of FTX selling found themselves facing the possibility of liquidation as altcoins followed Bitcoin’s rising trend.
Ilan Solot, Co-Head of Digital Assets at Marex Solutions, commented on this situation and provided Coindesk with information about the effects of Bitcoin’s revival on Solana.

As of the publication of this article, Bitcoin is still trading at $26,573 while Solana is still at $19.05.
