Solana price decline causes spike in long liquidations
Quick Take: The price of SOL has dropped by more than 8% in the past 24 hours, marking the largest decline among larger cryptocurrencies. Long positions were impacted the most, with over $6 million in SOL longs liquidated.
The overall crypto market saw over $88 million of liquidated long positions in the last 24 hours, contributing to a total of $126 million in liquidations across various centralized exchanges, according to CoinGlass data .
In derivatives markets, liquidations take place when a trader's position is forcibly closed due to insufficient funds to cover losses. This situation arises when market movements are unfavorable to the trader's position, resulting in the depletion of their initial margin or collateral.
Solana transaction volume decreases
The transaction volume of Solana-based tokens has also dropped after reaching a 12-month high in the first week of January, according to data from The Block's Data Dashboard . The value of economic throughput of SOL and SPL tokens on the Solana blockchain has fallen from a yearly high of almost $47 billion to around $34 billion in over one week.
According to data from The Block, the number of active addresses on the Solana network has also fallen from a yearly high of around 981,000 on Dec. 21 to current levels of around 599,000.
Proposal to deploy Aave v3 on Neon EVM
The Solana network was earlier bouyed by the announcement that the governance body of Aave is considering a proposal to deploy Aave v3 on Neon EVM , which is a smart contract platform that enables Ethereum dapps on the Solana network.
Made by the Neon Foundation and Aave contributor Aave Chan Initiative, this proposal seeks to expand Aave’s lending services to the Solana blockchain as a minimal viable product (MVP) at first. It is currently in the “temperature check” phase — where Aave community members can share their views and feedback on the proposed integration.
If approved, the deployment would allow Aave to utilize Solana’s liquidity for its lending services. According to the proposal, a version of Aave v3 has already been deployed on Neon EVM’s developer-focused testnet (devnet).

Deutsche Bank: The "fifth wave of tech stock rally" in US stocks since late July has peaked, prepare for a "V-shaped reversal"
Deutsche Bank has downgraded its rating on US technology stocks from overweight to neutral, noting that the fifth round of tech stock rally since July 29 is approaching the upper boundary of the long-term trend channel. The current upside potential is only about 4 percentage points, while historical trends indicate downside risks could reach 16 percentage points. Funds are expected to rotate into other sectors, and the European market, with its lower tech exposure, is likely to benefit relatively. However, Deutsche Bank emphasized that the long-term outperformance trend of technology stocks remains unchanged.
How expensive is AI computing power rental in the US? "Spot price" is twice that of long-term contracts, and four times the return threshold for cloud service providers.
The short-term spot leasing price for AI computing power reaches as high as $40 to $50 billion per gigawatt per year, while the price for long-term contracts is only $20 billion per year, and the breakeven threshold for supercomputing cloud operators is around $12 billion per year. However, according to Goldman Sachs, the fundamental reason why hyperscale cloud providers like Google rent computing power at such significant premiums is that their in-house capacity cannot keep up; once their own capacity catches up, the spot premium will disappear.
