Trading activity in Solana futures listed on CME Group climbed sharply last month, with notional volume rising to roughly $8–9 billion in July—about three times the level recorded in June, a month-on-month gain of around 252%, according to figures circulating among crypto derivatives trackers. The jump underscores growing institutional appetite for Solana-linked products as digital-asset volatility ticks higher. While spot turnover on 3 August stood at about $56 billion for Bitcoin, $28 billion for Ethereum and $5 billion for Solana, the outsized growth in derivatives points to an expanding role for futures in shaping liquidity and price discovery across the crypto market.
