On Friday (August 1), the short-term fluctuations in the Crypto Assets market delayed the altcoin season, leading to a surge in short positions. Solana (SOL), DOGE, and Cardano (ADA) led the decline among the top ten Crypto Assets projects, but maintained profitability over the past 30 days, reflecting the short-term nature of the current fluctuations. This sudden dumping caused the Crypto Assets market to liquidate $635 million, severely impacting long positions while short positions took advantage of the situation.

As the Crypto Assets market suddenly faced a dumping, Solana (SOL), DOGE, and Cardano (ADA) led the decline among the top ten Crypto Assets projects. The 24-hour average fall for SOL, DOGE, and ADA is about 7%, but they have remained profitable over the last 30 days, reflecting the short-term nature of the current Fluctuation.
The fall in the Crypto Assets market is mainly due to new investors taking profits from Bitcoin (BTC), resulting in realized profits exceeding $6 billion, and the Federal Reserve's wait-and-see decision during tariff negotiations leading to a delay in interest rate cuts.
