In July #创作者任务台 2025, trading volume for Solana (SOL) futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) surged to $8.1 billion, an increase of 252% month-over-month, setting a record high since its listing in March. Meanwhile, open interest (OI) also skyrocketed by 370%, reaching $800 million, indicating a significant rise in institutional investor interest in SOL. This growth is mainly attributed to market expectations for a Solana ETF and the overall recovery of the cryptocurrency market. Although the spot price of SOL has recently fallen back to around $160, the activity in the futures market suggests that institutions are still actively positioning themselves, which could potentially push the price to break through the key resistance level of $195 in the future.
