币界网报道：Solana futures open interest surged to a record $1.75 billion on January 25 as the cryptocurrency's price rallied 3.8% to $87.50, according to Coinglass data. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) will launch Solana futures trading on January 29, marking the first regulated Solana derivatives product in the U.S. market. This development comes amid growing institutional interest in Solana, which has outperformed major cryptocurrencies with a 700% price increase in 2023. The new CME contract will be cash-settled and based on the CoinDesk Solana Price Index, tracking SOL's performance across multiple exchanges. Analysts suggest the futures launch could further validate Solana's position as a top-tier blockchain platform while providing institutional investors with better risk management tools. The SOL price jump coincides with broader crypto market gains, with Bitcoin surpassing $40,000 and Ethereum approaching $2,300. Some traders speculate the CME listing may trigger a "sell the news" event after the initial rally, similar to previous crypto futures launches.
