Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP have seen significant declines as they lag behind Bitcoin amid escalating trade tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty. Over the week, Solana fell over 10% to $156, while Dogecoin dropped 14% and XRP 5%. This downturn in the broader crypto market, down nearly 5% in total, is tied to a renewed investor caution triggered by volatility related to U.S. trade tariffs under President Donald Trump. Strahinja Savic of FRNT Financial noted a 'risk-off' sentiment prevailing in the crypto space, highlighting a sharp sell-off driven by macro instability. Additionally, a decrease in decentralized finance (DeFi) activity and low futures trading volumes reflects a weakening retail interest within the market.
