SOL began the year trading at $178.89 and with a market capitalization of $55.09 billion. It was once considered an Ethereum ETH/USD killer. The crypto winter and the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried‘s FTX FTT/USD sent shockwaves throughout the crypto market, which consequently drove down the value of SOL to $13.04, down 92.71% from its price in January 2022.
Today, SOL is trading at $13.04 with a market cap of $4.73 billion.
SHIB started the year trading at $0.0000473, with a market capitalization of $18.35 billion. The FTX contagion plunged SHIB to 0.000009024, down 80%.
Price Action: At the time of writing, LTC was trading at $78.78 up 27% in the past 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
