Solana, Dogecoin and XRP are under pressure, down sharply over the past week due to macroeconomic stress, trade policy uncertainty and softening retail participation. The synchronized pullback has got investors worried already. According to CoinGecko, Solana fell 10% erasing most of the gains made in mid-May. Dogecoin plunged 14% and XRP lost 5%. Bitcoin also slipped but held steady, trading above $105,000, currently.

This is a reversal from the rally seen in May as now, macro headwinds and risk aversion are hitting altcoins harder than Bitcoin.

Macro Tensions Create a Risk-Off Environment

The decline in SOL, DOGE and XRP is being driven by a toxic mix of geopolitical and macro risks. Top of the list is the US-China trade standoff which has become a market moving event again. President Donald Trump’s return tariff policy has swept uncertainty around global growth and sent risk assets into retreat.

“Sentiment in crypto is risk off,” said Strahinja Savic, head of data analytics at FRNT Financial in an interview with Decrypt. “The driver of that has been this macro instability that spills over into crypto. You see these sharp sell offs and total reset of risk appetite.”

Trump’s tariff proposals have brought back investor concerns about trade wars and their impact on global supply chains. As those concerns intensified, the market saw a pullback in riskier assets and crypto especially altcoins, suffered the most. The Solana, Dogecoin and XRP decline is largely due to this return to risk off.

Altcoins Struggle as Retail Participation Fades

Another factor exacerbating the decline in SOL, DOGE and XRP is waning retail participation which is evident through drop in on-chain activity, lower perpetual futures volume and muted DeFi engagement.

“Low lending rates on DeFi and slow futures markets means retail appetite has dried up,” said Savic. “Retail trades are much less aggressive than they were during the March-April altcoin rally.”

Ethereum and Bitcoin perpetual futures volumes have also dropped, indicating disengagement across leverage-driven platforms. With retail momentum gone, altcoins are more exposed to macro shocks as institutional capital tends to pile into Bitcoin and Ethereum during high volatility.

Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP Underperform

Solana dropped from $180 in mid-May, a 13% correction in 2 weeks. It rallied briefly when inflation data surprised to the downside and markets priced in a dovish Fed, but that didn’t last as macro signals deteriorated.

Dogecoin has fallen 14% in a week and XRP dropped 5% even as Ripple’s legal situation is stabilizing.

While Bitcoin’s dominance rose to about 63%, altcoins are in a tailspin. As Savic said,

“There’s still a lot of support for crypto in general and we have a US government that’s embracing crypto across the board but altcoins are feeling the heat more.”

Ethereum’s Stability Offers Little Relief

Ethereum traded flat for the week and is up 40% in a month due to recent network upgrades and forward-looking scaling plans. But ETH’s lack of movement didn’t help reverse the weakness in mid-cap assets.

Market participants are rotating back into more liquid, less volatile crypto assets, reducing exposure to mid-cap tokens like SOL, DOGE and XRP. Consolidation of capital at the top end of the market is typical during macro stress and has played out the same way in previous cycles.

Conclusion: Altcoin Repricing

The Solana, Dogecoin and XRP drop is really showing market hesitation. With geopolitical risks rising and retail enthusiasm waning, altcoins are under pressure to prove long term viability.

Bitcoin and Ethereum still continue to dominate, but their strength will also seemingly be tested in the next few weeks. Unless macro conditions improve or demand comes back from DeFi and futures traders, altcoins might continue to struggle even with occasional bounce.

FAQs

Why are Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP down this week?

SOL, DOGE and XRP are down due to global trade tensions, reduced retail participation and a broader crypto risk-off.

How does macro stress affect altcoins more than Bitcoin?

Altcoins are more volatile and less liquid than Bitcoin. During macro stress, investors rotate out of riskier assets and into more stable BTC.

Ethereum is holding steady due to recent upgrades. But it’s not immune if macro pressures persist.
