Deribit Exchange Sees Surging Demand for Solana (SOL) $200 Calls as Price Nears Breakout
Solana’s native token SOL has outperformed Bitcoin with an 85% rally since April 7, reaching nearly $176 amid broad market optimism. Institutional traders are doubling down on the momentum, with Deribit data showing strong demand for June $200 call options—a bullish bet that SOL will surpass that level by late June.
The largest block trade last week involved 50,000 contracts purchased for $263,000 in premium, indicating strong conviction in further upside. Notably, these positions were initiated when SOL’s implied volatility was at a relatively modest 84%, suggesting traders anticipate explosive moves without excessive hedging costs.
