Solana’s inclusion in CME’s offerings also broadens the scope of regulated digital asset trading. FalconX’s Josh Barkhordar called it a historic moment for Solana, while StoneX emphasized its commitment to supporting regulated crypto initiatives.
Trading Impact & ETF Potential
Solana futures could follow the path of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), where futures led to spot ETFs. Currently trading around $127, analysts suggest it aligns with historical price patterns.
Moreover, experts believe Solana’s futures launch could accelerate regulatory discussions, potentially leading to the approval of a Solana spot ETF, influencing broader asset management strategies.
