Solana slid under $100 on Friday as a broad liquidation cascade knocked Bitcoin below $80,000 and wiped out roughly $670 million in leveraged positions, per CryptoPotato. The move landed in the same 24 hours that co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko floated a validator stake-weighted oracle that would let holders mint SOL against tokenized collateral, a proposal CryptoBriefing flagged as a potential rewrite of the network's supply dynamics. For a chain that just activated Alpenglow and sits at an 85% Firedancer consensus stake, the setup is awkward: strong network signal, soft price tape.
The tape did the talking Friday. Bitcoin dumped under $80,000, dragging ether below $2,400 and SOL under $100, with CryptoPotato pegging total liquidations at $670 million over the session. Zcash was down more than 7%. SOL's break of the triple-digit handle matters less as a technical event than as a sentiment reset: it is the first time since the summer that the market has been forced to price Solana without the memecoin tailwind that carried the second half.
