Market sentiment for Solana (SOL) is at the most negative levels seen in a month, according to data gathered by the on-chain intelligence platform Santiment. Investors are expressing more bearish sentiment about the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap; however, Santiment says this may be a signal for an incoming price jump. Solana Sentiment Plunges to Monthly Low The last time SOL investors were this bearish about the cryptocurrency was around January 20, when the asset’s value fell to $232. Since then, the coin has fallen more than 30% to $161, per data from CoinMarketCap. From its January 19 high of $293, SOL has plummeted more than 45%. Solana’s plunge to its three-month low price of $161 triggered frustration among investors and traders, with market participants comparing the asset’s latest performance to a similar pattern seen during the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX collapse in November 2022. Market analysts have attributed SOL’s price dump to the current state of the meme coin sector. Solana is the leading network for creating and minting meme coins, and the blockchain has played a huge role in the execution of several pump-and-dump schemes over the last 30 days. It has come to light that insiders have pulled over $200 million in liquidity from meme coins launched on the Solana network this year alone. As SOL’s price continues to plummet, activities on the network are also declining. CryptoPotato reported earlier this week that Solana’s decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume fell to $2.61 billion on February 16, a level not seen since mid-December 2024. This metric has been on a downward trajectory for the past five weeks. SOL May Experience a Bounce Although SOL had risen 2% daily at the time of writing to $169, the Solana community is still wary about the asset’s price trajectory in the coming days, especially as market pressures do not appear to be easing up. About 11.2 million SOL, worth over $1.89 billion at current prices, is set to be unlocked and released into the market on March 1, possibly adding to selling pressure on the asset. Regardless, Santiment believes SOL could experience a big bounce in the coming weeks because the market often moves in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations. “While discussion rates are extremely high and crowd sentiment is bearish, this is historically a signal that there is a high bounce probability,” the market intelligence firm stated.

Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, is facing scrutiny for his involvement in multiple meme coin ventures, raising speculation about possible legal consequences as a result. Polymarket , the decentralized information markets & predictions platform, has seen fluctuating odds on a potential Portnoy’ incarceration. Earlier today, the probability stood at 18%, indicating significant market concern. Subsequently, the odds came down 9%, suggesting a reduction in perceived risk. Portnoy has been accused of orchestrating over 15 pump-and-dump schemes, where he allegedly promoted meme coins to inflate their prices before selling off his holdings for profit. The latest one is centered around the GREED meme coin. He launched it on February 18, encouraging his followers to invest. Going against his initial assurances, Portnoy reportedly sold his entire stake, which was 35.79% of the total supply, causing the value to plummet (a 99% crash in the token’s value). By doing so, he earned around $258,000. In the wake of the $GREED collapse, Portnoy launched $GREED2, retaining 26.8% of its total supply.

However, once he learned he couldn’t disclose this compensation, he returned the tokens. Despite this, Portnoy invested his own funds into $LIBRA, which subsequently collapsed, too, leading to huge financial losses. Adding to the complexity, Portnoy received a $5 million refund from the $LIBRA team after the crash, a gesture not extended to other investors. This preferential treatment has raised questions about his level of involvement and the ethics surrounding the refund.

The crypto community’s outcry has intensified, with discussions about potential legal actions against Portnoy for market manipulation and fraud. Portnoy has defended his actions by asserting that he has been forthright about his intentions, emphasizing the speculative nature of meme coins and the inherent risks involved. He has asserted that the pervasive greed within the meme coin ecosystem justifies his actions, suggesting they serve to expose the opportunistic behaviors rampant among traders and influencers. While no formal charges have been filed, this is a developing story with public and market sentiment closely monitoring the developments.

Argentina’s financial watchdog, the National Securities Commission (CNV), has decided against intervening in the LIBRA case. Instead, the agency is moving forward with plans for stricter regulation of Virtual Asset Providers (PSAV). This decision signals a move toward tighter oversight of cryptocurrency operations nationwide. Sources indicate that the CNV, headed by Roberto Silva, is finalizing new, more detailed regulations. These rules aim to ensure market stability and protect investors. CNV stated that the coming regulations will target companies that facilitate crypto operations, not individual investors. However, their reluctance to step into the LIBRA issue comes from the lack of legal rules covering token promotions on decentralized platforms. Related: Argentina’s Crypto President in Trouble: Milei Charged Over LIBRA Token Fail “The $LIBRA token, at the time of its launch, was not found in the main wallets registered as PSAV in Argentina, such as Lemon, and could only be purchased on decentralized platforms or wallets (DEX) that operate directly on the Solana blockchain,” explained sources to the matter. Critics argue that this regulatory hole allows fraudulent schemes to thrive. Nic Puckrin of Coin Bureau criticized regulators for not taking responsibility for the scandal and other pump-and-dump scams. Ian Balina of Token Metrics even questioned the integrity of Argentina’s political-crypto ties. The LIBRA scandal saw its market cap skyrocket to $4.56 billion before plummeting to $257 million. This crash triggered impeachment discussions and caused investor losses estimated at $100 million.

This has intensified scrutiny of the government’s inner circle. Argentine lawyers have now filed a complaint with the DOJ & FBI over LIBRA’s collapse, urging an investigation into President Milei. While CNV has chosen to not intervene directly, growing political and public pressure might soon force a regulatory shift. As regulators struggle to address the crisis, this incident highlights clear weaknesses in the nation’s cryptocurrency oversight.

Cardano (ADA) is retesting the 20-day EMA which is a major resistance at $0.80. Solana (SOL) has formed three consecutive bearish daily candles. SOL token price drop is a result of the LIBRA pump and dump scheme. Solana (SOL) has stayed as the most popular blockchain in the past year especially as its meme tokens exploded on the blockchain network. However, SOL is in for a stiff competition from Cardano (ADA) as the blockchain is being upgraded. While asset management firm Grayscale has said they plan to offer Solana and Cardano spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) soon, CoinMarketCap data shows that SOL has crashed to the $180 price level, dropping a huge 17% in the past week. A major reason for this price drop is the launch of LIBRA meme coin and the pump and dump that followed it.
