Record Futures Volume for Solana
According to CME, on June 24, 2025, the trading volume for Solana futures reached 1.75 million contracts, marking the highest ever recorded on the platform. The increase in trading volume indicates growing participation from institutional investors actively utilizing CME contracts tailored for professional market participants.
Price and Trading Volume Surge
The trading volume in futures increased alongside the recovery in Solana's price, which approached $145. Over the last 24 hours, the price rose by 0.74%. Charts released by Glassnode illustrate the noticeable jump in both price and futures activity throughout June. A sharp increase in trading activity coincided with SOL nearing the $145 mark, signaling greater confidence among investors.
Impact of Leverage in the Futures Market
The increase in futures market volume has the potential to lead to greater price variation as futures trading involves leverage. The more leverage is utilized, the greater the potential gains or losses. Position liquidations that might occur due to rapid market movements could result in further price volatility.
This record in futures trading underscores Solana's growing recognition within the broader digital asset market. The level of institutional involvement was not as evident a year ago, and today Solana futures are gaining attention alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum in regulated financial markets.
