Industry insiders put the price rise down to a number of factors, with Bobby Lee, CEO of bitcoin exchange BTCC, citing recent positive news events as being behind the movement.

Academic Robert Viglione suggested the price increase could be due to Chinese citizens moving more of their wealth into cryptocurrencies as their government tightens capital controls.

Whatever the reason, the bitcoin community is largely welcoming the rise, but what next? Will the price continue its upward movement, will it plateau or will it fall again?

When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.

Ano ang dapat malaman:

  • Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
  • Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
  • Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
