This week’s episode of Long Reads Sunday is a reading of the latest essay from Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.

The essay looks systematically at the problems of the slate of current store-of-value assets, including the U.S. dollar, oil and gold.

The brothers argue why those assets have, or are starting to have, value in their safe haven function, while bitcoin is on the rise.

Solana CME Futures Fell Short of BTC and ETH Debuts, but There's a Catch

Mar 18, 2025

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

What to know:

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.
