Solana (SOL) Price Drops ~4% as Whales Unlock 200M Tokens, Targeting a Retest of the Rising Trendline

The Solana network will be recording its largest single-day unlock of around $200 million in the recent past and also until 2028 on April 4, 2025.

The dust for the U.S. reciprocal tariffs imposed on more than 100 nations has begun to settle. Bitcoin (BTC) price held above $82k, as the wider altcoin market, led by Solana (SOL), attempts a bullish recovery, following the maximum pain experienced since the Donald Trump administration took place.

Solana, a large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $68 billion and a 24-hour average trading volume of around $4 billion, has dropped around 4 percent in the past 24 hours to trade about $115 on Friday, during the early Asia session.

Solana Network Token Unlocks Biggest Single-Day

The Solana network will be recording its largest single-day unlock of around $200 million in the recent past and also until 2028 on April 4, 2025. The notable Solana network token unlock coincides with a significant market dump by whale investors.

According to on-chain data analysis from Lookonchain, several Solana whales unstake their coins in the past 24 hours and dump them in the market. The palpable fear of a possible crypto market crash in the near future has seen an increased departure of whale investors towards the stablecoins market or the gold sector.
