Will Solana price slide to $50 next as whales cut exposure？

Solana price has fallen to a multi-year low as a major corporate holder moved $31.9 million worth of $SOL to Coinbase Prime, adding to fears that whales are reducing exposure during the market selloff.　　According to data from crypto.news, Solana ($SOL) traded near $62 on June 6 after briefly falling to the $60 area. The token has lost roughly 24% over the past week, more than 30% over the past month, and about 50% since the start of the year as traders continued reducing exposure to risk assets amid a broader crypto market selloff.　　Large holders have added to concerns about the markets outlook. According to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, Forward Industries transferred 455,784 $SOL worth approximately $31.9 million to Coinbase Prime after a month of inactivity.　　Since adopting a Solana treasury strategy in September 2025, the company has spent roughly $1.59 billion acquiring 6.83 million $SOL at an average price of $232. Lookonchain estimates those holdings are now worth about $458.6 million.　　The transfer does not confirm an outright sale, but traders frequently monitor deposits to institutional trading venues for signs that large investors may be preparing to reduce positions. The transaction arrived as $SOL traded near its lowest levels since 2024 and

‘More stable returns’ – Ethena expands RWA exposure with AAA-rated CLO funds

Ethena protocol has begun expansion to RWA (real-world asset) tokenization to boost yields and decouple from crypto market cycles. On Friday, the firm behind the yield-paying stablecoin $USDe said,　　The first asset category under evaluation is AAA CLOs, which sit at the top of the capital stack, with a zero default rate at the AAA level across the entire history of the asset class.　　Source: X　　Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) are a pool of loans from individual companies handled by asset managers. Think of it as an ETF index tracking different stocks of various companies and offered to investors. But instead of tracking stocks, CLOs track pooled corporate loans.　　Now, the AAA mark is the highest evaluation score rating firms like Moodys can place on such financial products. The AAA rating means the product has the lowest level of default or high credit quality.　　Why Ethena is betting on CLOs　　Beyond credit quality, Ethena is seeking an RWA asset with high liquidity and a low downside profile. According to the team, CLOs, especially the Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund, fit this criteria.　　Notably, during the financial crisis, like the COVID-19 era and high Fed interest rates, the broader CLO sector only fell 8% and 2%, respectively.

Why Did Bitcoin Crash？ On-Chain Data Points To One Missing Ingredient

Bitcoin is struggling as the price tests $62,000 as support — a level that would represent a significant extension of the correction from the cycle highs and a test of the structural foundation that bulls have been pointing to throughout the decline. The weakness is real and the selling pressure is persistent — and XWIN Research Japan has published an analysis that cuts through the competing macro narratives to identify what the on-chain data suggests is the actual driver of the current correction.　　The explanations circulating in the market range from geopolitical tensions to Federal Reserve policy to Strategy‘s recent small Bitcoin sale. XWIN Research Japan’s CryptoQuant analysis suggests a simpler and more fundamental explanation: buyers disappeared.　　The engine that powered Bitcoins 2024 to 2025 rally was not leverage, not retail momentum, and not speculative excess. It was consistent and sustained inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs — a structural demand source that absorbed supply methodically and provided the bid that supported progressively higher prices. In 2026, that engine reversed. ETF outflows increased while the Coinbase Premium remained negative for an extended period. Confirming that US institutional demand, the most durable and most significant category of buyer the market has ever seen,

Solana Treasury Bet Turns Sour: Firm Sits On $1.13B Unrealized Loss

Solana has been struggling with selling pressure as the broader market feels the weight of a correction that has tested support levels across the ecosystem. The price is under stress — and data from Arkham Intelligence has identified a specific institutional transaction that adds a direct supply dimension to the current weakness on one of the most closely watched blockchains in crypto.　　Forward Industries — a publicly traded company that has been building a Solana treasury strategy, accumulating $SOL as a primary reserve asset in a model that draws direct comparison to MicroStrategys Bitcoin approach — has deposited 455,784 $SOL worth approximately $31.87 million to Coinbase Prime after a month of complete inactivity.　　Forward Industries moves Solana to Coinbase | Source: Arkham　　A company that has been building a $SOL treasury and has shown no exchange-directed activity for a full month, choosing this specific moment to move nearly $32 million worth of Solana to Coinbase Prime, describes a deliberate decision rather than routine portfolio management.　　Whether the deposit represents preparation for selling, a financing arrangement, or strategic repositioning is the question the Arkham data raises — and the answer carries direct implications for Solanas ability to hold current support levels.　　Forward Industries Is Sitting on

The cryptocurrency market started June with a very sharp correction. Bitcoin ($BTC), which had been trying to hold its ground and turn upwards for weeks, is bleeding dry due to successive selling pressure in recent days. The leading cryptocurrency, which quickly fell to the $60,400 mark, dragged the altcoin market along with it, causing a veritable “red bath.”　　So, amidst the panic in the market, the only question on investors minds is: Has Bitcoin hit bottom, or will the decline deepen further？　　Related News When Will Institutional Selling Pressure on Bitcoin End？ What Does On-Chain Data Coinbase Premium Show？　　What Triggered the Market？ The 3 Big Reasons Behind the Decline　　There isn‘t a single reason behind Bitcoin’s sudden pullback; a combination of macroeconomic factors and institutional actions brought the market to this point.Massive Cash Outflow from ETFs: US spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced net cash outflows for 14 consecutive days.

When Will Institutional Selling Pressure on Bitcoin End？ What Does On-Chain Data ‘Coinbase Premium’ Show？

In the cryptocurrency markets, attention has long been focused on the main reason for the price pressure. While general market analysts talk about short-term corrections, on-chain data points to a much deeper structural change: the Coinbase Premium Index has remained in negative territory uninterrupted since April 27th.　　This situation clearly reveals that US institutional investors and the spot ETF side have been in a selling and withdrawal trend that has dominated the market for more than a month. So, what does April 27th mean for the market？　　The April 27 Breakdown: What Changed in the US？　　The market, which remained vibrant until the last week of April with spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and aggressive buying from the US, reversed direction as of April 27th. The fact that the Coinbase Premium Index has been negative (ranging from -0.15% to -0.19%) since that date indicates that US whales are much less enthusiastic than global retail investors and are moving out of the market to cash.　　Three key macroeconomic factors stand out as being behind this situation:Geopolitical Risks and Risk-Off Mode: Tensions centered in the Middle East and uncertainties in global markets have pushed US fund managers towards a more protective (risk-off) position.Halt in ETF Inflows and

Bitcoin and Altcoins Continue to Fall: Heres the Latest Data

The cryptocurrency market started the last trading day of the week with a sell-off. The sharp pullback in Bitcoin negatively impacted Ethereum and the altcoin market in general.　　The Bitcoin price fell to levels as low as $61,000 during the week, testing its weakest levels in recent months. Outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs, liquidations in leveraged trading, and a general flight from risky assets are cited as the main reasons for the selling pressure in the market.　　The volatility in the derivatives market, in particular, attracted attention. According to Bitcoin System Liquidation data, a large number of leveraged positions were liquidated during the recent decline, with the closure of mostly long positions causing the drop to be felt more severely. This picture shows that the market pullback was fueled not only by spot sales but also by forced closures in leveraged transactions.　　On the on-chain side, the Coinbase Premium Index continues its weak performance. The fact that this indicator remains in negative territory suggests that US-based investors and institutional demand are not showing strong buying appetite in the short term. Especially when considered alongside spot ETF outflows, the weakness on the Coinbase side stands out as one of the key indicators explaining

Despite broader weakness, the token continued attracting fresh capital.　　On the 4th of June, the crypto market fell 3.85%, while $HYPE slipped 2.90%.
