Crypto frenzy: Solana and Hyperliquid overtake Bitcoin in price!

On June 16, 2025, the cryptocurrency market experienced a remarkable recovery, especially considering the recent price corrections influenced by the Middle East conflict. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, is currently at $106,500 and has recovered from recent lows. With a market capitalization of around $2.11 trillion, Bitcoin remains the seventh largest asset in the world, just five percent away from its record high of $112,000.

Ethereum is also showing active market movement and is currently trading at over $2,500, but still has a long way to go to reach its all-time high - 47 percent short.

Solana and Hyperliquid on the rise

Solana (SOL) is experiencing the greatest growth among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, recording an increase of almost eight percent to $156. Nevertheless, Solana's price has fallen 19 percent since the beginning of the year, highlighting the project's volatility and challenges. Given current price developments and market conditions, it is important to monitor how these trends continue.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) is also up eight percent and is up an impressive 66 percent year-to-date. The price is currently $44.34 and has reached a market cap of $14.52 billion, which has a positive impact on confidence in the project.

Token unlocks and market developments

This week there will also be a token unlock for Arbitrum (ARB), during which around 93 million new tokens will be released. This will increase the amount in circulation by almost two percent. The history of previous token unlocks shows that they have often resulted in a slight increase in the ARB price. Therefore, investors may be eagerly awaiting the impact of this event.

In addition, there are important decisions coming from central banks in Japan and the USA that could potentially influence price developments in the crypto market. This shows how closely the financial markets and especially crypto assets are interconnected.
