Solana’s SOL Rallies Past $100, Continuing Torrid Month
Meme coin traders and airdrop farmers are bringing more attention to Solana.
The Solana blockchain's native token SOL broke $100 Saturday, reclaiming a price level not seen since the eve of Terra's collapse a year and a half ago.
At press time SOL was valued at around $102 a coin. It has increased in value more than tenfold in 2023 and is up over 70% in December alone, according to CoinDesk Indices.

Saturday's price action capped weeks of frenzied trading that have – at least temporarily – vaulted the Solana blockchain up the leaderboard for on-chain activity. Solana-based decentralized exchanges are nearing Uniswap's multibillion-dollar trading volumes for the first time, according to DefiLlama.
Much of that energy is being driven by rampant speculation. Some of the most popular crypto assets being traded on Solana right now are dog-themed meme coins. But airdrops, too, are prompting droves of traders to test out Solana-based lenders, bridges and other infrastructure.
Solana is a smart contracts platform that supports fast and cheap crypto transactions. It has been compared to Ethereum, which despite Solana's ascendence, is still the most popular and best-known place for crypto traders to play on-chain.

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