The BPI hit a high of $2,791.70 today, data shows. Yet after beginning to dip around 15:00 UTC, that move became more pronounced after 16:00 UTC, including a more than $100 drop between 16:36 UTC and 16:54 UTC, BPI data shows, sliding from roughly $2,630 to $2,515, with a further drop below $2,400 over the next hour.

Markets hit a low of about $2,352, BPI data shows. At press time, the price of bitcoin is at an average of $2,397.

The volatility comes amid a boom in cryptocurrency markets, which have seen bitcoin and others hit new all-time highs in recent days.

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.

Ce qu'il:

  • 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.
