Bitcoin is still dropping 📉, I really can't stand it. Many retail investors felt they could bottom out a couple of days ago, but unexpectedly, they couldn’t even save their underwear. This year's New Year is probably going to be tough.
Let's take a look at @Plasma ; the market trend is also following Bitcoin. Although it has endorsements from big institutions like Bitfinex and Framework, it has recently dropped significantly due to several hard issues:
Token release pressure: $XPL just experienced a large-scale unlock (about 88 million tokens) at the end of January 2026. This release of chips, combined with a sluggish market sentiment, makes it difficult for the price to hold up.
The awkwardness of the infrastructure period: Payment networks need a large number of merchants and users to connect to be valuable. When the market is poor, everyone tends to “hold coins” or “withdraw funds” rather than “pay and consume,” which may lead to its implementation speed being slower than expected.
Reminder 🔔: The value feedback of infrastructure tokens is often very slow, so don't blindly go all in during major market fluctuations.
