SOL alternative priced at just $0.07 could hit $1 before March

SOL hits $205.64 on strong demand, while IntelMarkets gains attention with its AI-driven platform and massive presale raise.

SOL price hit an intraday high of $205.64 and a low of $187.82, signaling a strong rebound driven by rising demand and favorable market sentiment concerning the proposed Solana exchange-traded fund. 

Though Solana appears highly bullish in the current session, IntelMarkets (INTL) takes the lead with a massive presale raise. The AI-driven platform is generating buzz in the bull market with its low-cap and high ROI. Thus, INTL is being called a Solana alternative.

Solana climbs back with SOL Price above $200!

As of January 2, 2025, Solana is trading at $207, marking a 9% increase over the last 24 hours. This surge in SOL price follows a brief consolidation phase, reflecting renewed investor confidence and optimism.

The open interest in Solana futures contracts has climbed to $3.42 billion, fueled by heightened investor engagement. Perpetual contracts dominate the landscape with $3.4 billion in open interest, while futures contracts account for $15.8 million.

Over the past 24 hours, perpetual contracts grew by 10.67%, and futures contracts experienced a significant 85.59% increase, contributing to an overall 10.87% rise in total open interest. Among crypto exchanges, Binance leads with $1.7 billion in open interest, followed by Bybit at $1.1 billion and OKX at $520.5 million. 

On Binance, SOL’s price rose 6.32% over the last 24 hours and recorded a 6.96% gain over the past seven days. Coinbase and Kraken reported similar 24-hour increases of 6.34% and 6.28%, respectively for SOL’s price. 

Binance also leads in trading volume, with 56.1k SOL/ETH pairs traded in the last day, while Coinbase and Kraken follow with 5.2k and 4.6k, respectively. The sharp increase in SOL’s price and open interest highlights growing optimism among investors.

The 85.59% surge in open interest for Solana futures contracts suggests a rising number of traders are betting on SOL’s price movements. Open interest is often linked with strong market activity and confidence, indicating that the market expects further upside for SOL price. The dominance of perpetual contracts reflects traders actively capitalizing on SOL’s price volatility through short-term strategies.

This trend underscores the interplay between increased speculative activity and fundamental interest, both of which are driving the SOL price’s strong performance. Awawat, trader and angel investor at APG Capital, tweeted a convincing visual representation of Solana’s current market movements.
