The Solana price has dropped by 9% in the past 24 hours, sinking down to $98.69 after fears over another Bitcoin ETF delay pulled the wider market down yesterday.

Its medium- and long-term prospects also look good, with the possibility of Bitcoin ETF approvals likely to send SOL flying even further, along with the market.
