Ethereum and Solana especially galloped up on their charts significantly in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin had also reclaimed the $40k price mark at the time of writing therefore major altcoins followed a similar price movement.

The Solana price has been on an upswing ever since the bloodbath that followed DeFi’s largest hack of 2022. The Wormhole network stated that stolen money had been restored, giving Solana price some much-needed relief.

Jump Crypto’s currency-focused arm worked in tandem with other Quant trading firms, and together, they were able to restore all funds that hackers had stolen from investors last week. Jump Crypto stated; “we believes in a multichain future and that Wormhole is essential infrastructure. That’s why we replaced 120k ETH to make community members whole and support Wormhole now as it continues to develop.” The firm’s decision to replace 120,000 Ether in support of community members on the Wormhole network revealed that hackers failed to refabricate stolen cryptocurrencies. Yesterday’s exploit compromised $325 million worth of Ether, and the Wormhole network offered a 10-million dollar bounty for information on who did it. Unfortunately, the hacker still has access to these funds, meaning they have rejected the offer.

The largest DeFi hack on Solana acted as a negative factor for this altcoin, heavily influenced by lousy publicity.  A cryptocurrency analyst and trader widely followed for his accurate price predictions by investors of all sizes across the board, Johny noticed that Solana might be ready to make its next move up. Further, he noted an upward pattern developing within range lows before Ethereum killer could start its leg straight back down again. “$SOL beautiful retest of range lows. Flip range highs and next leg upstarts. Haven’t seen this much strength from Solana in what feels like forever.” Bitcoin’s fall to the $36,250 level triggered a dip for major altcoins. While most coins were red on Thursday, Solana also dipped nearly 10%. The larger market experienced a dip as well due to bitcoin’s movements. What a difference a day makes! Solana dipped more than most of its counterparts in the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap, but it charted an equally good recovery at press time. After an attack on Wormhole, SOL dipped to as low as $94 on February 3. However, the price saw some recovery and even managed a decent pump before long. The price of Solana is rising once again. As I’m writing these words, the currency had traded at $108 and presented 11.7% daily and 18.75% weekly gains. With trade volumes still maintaining low, some say that the spot markets are still too uncertain about investing in, but a decent price push could change investors’ mood for good.
