Take full advantage of this $BTC price drop. It dropped by more than 5% to around $96K. However, most altcoins dropped between 5% and 10%. Some even more, with double digits up to 20%. This is the time to show your diamond hands. Don’t panic sell your altcoins or $BTC! This is not a dip. No, instead, see this as a fire sale.
This is a great moment to get fundamentally good altcoins at a low price. Altcoins that during previous dips recovered fast and strong. So, today, I will cover four altcoins that are available at a discount.
Sui Network ($SUI)
Sui ($SUI) hit a new ATH only three days ago with a $5.35 tag. However, today it’s down 7.2% on the day and sits at $4.61. So, on the daily chart, this doesn’t look too good. But if you zoom out, you can see that $SUI is still performing strong.
It’s as strong as ever, I would say. There’s actually so much going on with Sui and its ecosystem, that it’s hard to know where to start. Nonetheless, here are some pointers,
- Sui hit $2 billion in TVL (total value locked). That’s only three months after it hit the $1 billion mark. It shows how strong its DeFi ecosystem is.
This is what $2B in Total Value Locked (TVL) looks like.
Three months after we hit the $1B mark, the thriving DeFi ecosystem on Sui doubled in TVL. In particular, recently announced and launched stablecoins, wallets, and lending protocols have sparked huge growth on Sui.… pic.twitter.com/uwrPfpIWzE— Sui (@SuiNetwork) January 6, 2025
- Various TGEs and airdrops are coming up. For example, Bucket ($BUT), Walrus ($WAL), and Kriya ($KDX).
- Walrus mainnet is coming soon.
- Solana is coming to Sui.
- Institutional interest in Sui is growing. There’s a Grayscale Sui Trust, and VanEck EU launched a new Sui backed product in Europe. There’s also a strategic partnership with Franklin Templeton Digital Assets.
So, plenty going on with Sui and more to come. Getting $SUI under $5 right now is a good deal.
Ethena ($ENA)
With Ethena ($ENA) we are in the DeFi sector. Besides its native $ENA token, it also offers a synthetic dollar $USDe. Ethena has a new way of keeping its stablecoin pegged to the $USD. This is a “delta-neutral” strategy, see their docs.
Delta neutral means you make $$ regardless of market direction. So it’s often 2 trading positions together, like a long and a short. For example, it takes a long spot $stETH or $BTC position. At the same time, it shorts an $ETH-PERP or $BTC-PERP position with the same value. The result is that both positions offset directional risk. So, in theory, this maintains the 1:1 peg. This applies to USDe when someone deposits $stETH to mint USDe and then Ethena takes a combo long-short position as I just described to hedge ETH risk and make $$ for USDe holders.
Both positions also earn yield. If you stake your $USDe, you receive $sUSDe. This is a reward-bearing token. These rewards come from the yield, generated by the delta-neutral positions. I know, it’s a bit complicated, but this is how Ethena works. The current APY for $sUSDe is 10%. That’s pretty good for a stablecoin.
Now, another important factor why I expect $ENA to do well is World Liberty Financial. This is Trump’s DeFi protocol, and WLFI has a strategic partnership with Ethena. WLFI also invested $754K in $ENA.
$ENA is down 17% on the day, this is a great buy right now.

Hyperliquid ($HYPE)
Hyperliquid ($HYPE) is the next project to take a look at. It is a Layer 1 financial app chain, and its flagship is a perps DEX. You can also spot trade on its platform. It raised a lot of attention with its recent airdrop. Users got massive airdrops, up to $30k and more. Hyperliquid set a new standard on how you can execute airdrops.
Hyperliquid $HYPE Airdrop $100K Done!!!
Not gonna lie, this is my first-ever $100K airdrop, and it feels unreal! It’s proof that even the smallest steps can lead to something incredible.
I started this airdrop adventure with just $200 I earned from freelancing, never… pic.twitter.com/In4x29Jr3m

Another great feature of the platform, is that it’s 100% self-funded. So, during its TGE, there was no VC selling pressure, nor will there be in the future. As a result, $HYPE saw a fast and steady price increase from $3.81 to an ATH of $35, less than three weeks ago. That was a 9x right there for Airdrop receivers who held their tokens.
However, some expected selloffs started before Christmas. The current $HYPE price is $21.72. It’s 14% down on the day, a perfect entry point. There’s another airdrop coming your way, if you’re a Hyperliquid user. Use their platform, trade spot, trade perp futures, stake $HYPE, or get referrals. Be active in the ecosystem, that’s all you need to do.
HYPERLIQUID NEXT DROP?
YES.
You can secure another 38.8% airdrop of the total supply in the next distribution, and deBridge will help you to do this.

Solana ($SOL)
My last pick in today’s altcoins list is Solana ($SOL). The $SOL price took a 9.5% hit for the day and currently trades at $195. Solana has seen a lot of sideways action recently. However, the fundamentals are as strong as ever. I don’t expect Solana to have a similar run as in 2021. It went from $1.50 in 2020 to $260 at the end of 2021. That’s a 17,000% price increase.
Well, with Solana’s current market cap of $94.5 billion, that’s not likely to happen. However, there’s still more price improvement possible. Analysts mention prices between $500 and $1k. From its current price, that would be a 2.5x to a 5x.

So, any $SOL price action below $200 looks like a good entry point. It’s a solid top 10 coin, measured by market cap. Its current position is 6th, close on $BNB’s heels, which currently takes 5th spot.
So, did you panic today when you woke up and saw the current crypto market condition? Don’t, instead, zoom out. We’re still in a bull run. Pullbacks like this are common. Make the best out of it and consider it a great buying opportunity.
