Crypto assets have picked up bullish momentum in the last 48 hours as macro sentiments flip green. Following Bitcoin's surge to a new all-time high, altcoins have traded upwards in the same time frame.

Will Solana and XRP face further delays despite growing interest in crypto ETFs?

The Pudgy Penguins project has initiated a significant airdrop of its new token, PENGU, on the Solana blockchain, valued at $1.5 billion.

BNSOL's success is closely tied to the growth of Solana's ecosystem, which has seen its liquid staking ratio more than double in 2024.

The last few days have been ugly, to say the least, for holders of the popular meme-inspired cryptocurrency Shiba Inu (SHIB). After a huge surge of nearly 100% since the beginning of November, the price of SHIB has dropped nearly 23% in the last nine days and recently hit a major support level at around $0.000025 per token.

Solana holds onto crucial levels of support as the crypto market recovers gradually from the sharp correction earlier in the day. It changes hands at $216.53, with Solana declining intraday at 2.33% so far.

PENGU's debut sparked a surge on the Solana blockchain, resulting in more transactions than the combined activity of other leading blockchains.

Bitcoin (BTC) reached an all-time high for the second consecutive day, going past $108,000 and reaching a peak of $108,286. However, the cryptocurrency declined dramatically after reaching this level and is currently trading below $104,000, down almost 3% over the past 24 hours.

Bloomberg analysts, including Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, have speculated that Litecoin and Hedera are likely to see their ETFs approved before Solana and XRP.

Amid the altcoin recovery run, Solana witnesses a boost in network and price trends. As bulls prepare for a breakout run to $250, the on-chain growth supports the bullish trend chances.
