The U.S. government's movement of $4 million worth of BTC sparked debates about future price trends. This price drop occurred despite a significant inflow of $533.57 million into BTC ETFs, excluding Bitwise BITB data.

Solana's price also fell to $179.33. SOL's price fluctuated between $177.04 and $183.21 throughout the day. Despite technological advancements and increasing adoption rates, Solana was affected by the overall market downtrend.
