Solana dropped 4% in 24 hours as most cryptocurrencies shed recent gains. Bitcoin also dropped amid news that rogue agents had leaked personal data of Coinbase users. While the token is down 42% from its January highs, it has recently climbed from lows of $123. Solana dropped 4% over the past 24 hours on Thursday, giving back part of its recent rally. The token fell from a high of $178 to around $167 as broader cryptocurrency markets tracked Wall Street’s pullback. The decline coincided with the Dow Jones Industrial Average trading lower and the S&P 500 looking set to snap a three-day winning streak. Why is the Solana price down? Solana extended its decline as Bitcoin also retreated, with the broader crypto market under pressure following reports of a security breach at Coinbase. According to CEO Brian Armstrong, hackers exploited the exchange’s systems and are demanding $20 million in Bitcoin to avoid releasing the compromised data. The incident involved cyber criminals who reportedly bribed and recruited rogue overseas support agents. Coinbase says the insiders pulled personal data that it estimates could impact less than 1% of the exchange’s monthly tracked users. While the theft is a threat, Coinbase maintained there was no exposure of passwords, private keys, or funds for other users. While it plans to reimburse impacted customers, it’s not paying the ransom and is ready to engage law enforcement. “We will pursue the harshest penalties possible and will not pay the $20 million ransom demand we received. Instead, we are establishing a $20 million reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible for this attack,” Coinbase wrote in an update. Can SOL bounce to $300? SOL reached highs of $294 in January 2025, riding the overall crypto momentum that followed President Donald Trump’s election. While the token is down 42% since it recently climbed from lows of $123. Bulls managed highs of $182 on May 14, before today’s dip. Whether buyers can reclaim this move remains to be seen. However, analysts at Glassnode note key metrics are in favour of bulls. “After a few months of realized cap outflows, $SOL is showing signs of a trend reversal. Its 30-day capital inflows are now back in positive territory, growing at ~4–5%, on par with $XRP. This points to a renewed demand returning to the #Solana ecosystem,” Glassnode noted.

Data from Glassnode shows Ethereum’s dominance has edged up 3% to 9.75%, while altcoins collectively gained 2% to 22.35%. Despite this rebound, altcoin dominance remains below recent highs, underscoring that the market is still largely in a “BTC-driven cycle,” as analysts describe it. In this environment, Solana and other high-beta assets could continue to lag in the near term as capital remains concentrated in Bitcoin.
