CME’s Solana and XRP Futures Hit $3B as PEPENODE Hits $2M with Mine-to-Earn Coin

2025/10/31 22:49

Solana and XRP futures are now CME’s fastest-growing crypto products, highlighting a shift toward scalable altcoin infrastructure.

KEY POINTS:
➡️ Solana and XRP futures are the hottest crypto products on CME, reaching over $3B in outstanding contracts.
➡️ Market maturity, infrastructure developments, and softer crypto regulations are driving this trend.
➡️ Meanwhile, the viral Solana meme coin, PEPENODE, hit $2M raised in its hot presale, sparking FOMO with its mine-to-earn model.

Crypto products tied to Solana and XRP on CME reached a new milestone on Monday, surpassing $3B in ppen interest.

In August, both products crossed $1B in outstanding contracts, with XRP futures first to reach the milestone. But over the next 18 days, the notional value of open interest for Solana futures nearly doubled.

What’s more, Solana futures have seen an average daily volume of $700M in October, despite market jitters.

What’s Behind this Surge in Activity?

CME’s regulated platform gives users exposure to popular cryptocurrencies through derivatives – without the complications of directly holding the underlying tokens.

If anything, the deleveraging event of Oct 10 serves as a reminder of why regulated platforms and structured frameworks like CME’s matter.

According to Giovanni Vicioso, CME Group’s global head of cryptocurrency products, the XRP and Solana offerings  ‘were able to benefit from the learnings that we saw in the marketplace with the launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum.’

While XRP and Solana futures have clearly built upon the foundation laid by previous products, growing regulatory clarity has also been a crucial factor, attracting more players to the cryptocurrency market.

The recent introduction of XRP and Solana ETFs has further accelerated the trend, creating a stronger two-way flow between the regulated spot and futures markets.

This is because ETFs are attracting traditional players who previously wouldn’t touch crypto. They’ve made it easier to run basis and arbitrage trades between ETFs and CME futures, bypassing crypto wallets and exchanges.

As futures volumes climb and open interest surges, traders are seeking speed, liquidity, and credible alternatives to legacy chains.

PEPENODE’s presale taps into that shift. With early traction and a clear use case as a viable crypto-mining alternative, Pepenode positions itself as a retail-accessible complement to the institutional surge.

Solana Meme Coin PEPENODE Crosses $2M in Viral Presale

PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) is rapidly becoming one of the hottest meme coin presales this season.

The Solana-based project is building a mine-to-earn platform that provides investors with thrilling, gamified ways to generate passive income.

While crypto mining has long been inaccessible to everyday traders, PEPENODE changes this. It removes the technical and financial entry barriers to crypto mining by replacing expensive mining rigs with a virtual mining simulator that runs on-chain.

Using the native $PEPENODE token, anyone can purchase digital mining nodes and set up their own virtual server room.

  • Each node has unique features and mining power.
  • To maximize your earning potential, you mix and match nodes.
  • You can also upgrade facilities to optimize your mining setup.
  • Your earning potential grows in proportion to your hash rate.
  • $PEPENODE tokens are used to make all payments and rewards on the network.

Top players are also eligible for airdrops in popular meme coins like $PEPE and $FARTCOIN. In addition, a referral program lets referrers earn 2% mining rewards.

Since 70% of all tokens used for upgrades are burnt, presale participants have a unique edge in the community. The earlier you buy the token during the presale phase, the more its value grows over time, given the declining total supply.

The discounted presale prices and generous staking rewards add to the presale appeal.

However, investors must act promptly to secure the token at its current discounted price of just $0.0011272, as the next price rise is scheduled for just two days’ time. The staking APY will also decline as more investors join in.

Visit the PEPENODE website to join the presale and stake now for 640% APY.

Cardano (ADA) Price Prediction as New Rival Crypto Sets New Records in September

The post Cardano (ADA) Price Prediction as New Rival Crypto Sets New Records in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cardano (ADA) is still among the top altcoins in the market, with its investors eagerly anticipating a breakout. But September has seen a new entrant that’s diverting everyone’s focus away from ADA. Mutuum Finance (MUTM), a DeFi token in its infancy, has already broken to new presale highs, thrilling investors ahead of ADA’s consistent but slow-growth performance. Mutuum Finance is at presale stage 6 and can be purchased at $0.035.  The project has received over $16.2 million and more than 16,500 unique holders have taken part. While ADA’s price forecast remains within the realm of prevailing market sentiment, Mutuum’s innovative lending and borrowing platform is giving it the kind of traction that could establish it as the next crypto winner. Cardano on the Cusp of a Breakout  Cardano (ADA) sits at around $0.92, showing strong resilience as it holds above support levels of $0.80-$0.85. Resistance remains at $1.00-$1.10 and suggests ADA may need new catalysts, e.g., substantial network upgrades or increasing developer & institutional interest, to overcome levels. Price action has been solid but disciplined vs. explosive, as one would expect in its senior place in the altcoin hierarchy. In comparison, Mutuum Finance is in investors’ sights as having superior upside potential this cycle. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Excites Investors Mutuum Finance is now in stage six of its presale at $0.035 following its 16.17% increase from the previous stage. The market is seeing an all-time high demand for the project with more than 16,500 investors subscribed and over $16.2 million raised. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has introduced a $50,000 USDT Bug Bounty Program for platform security. The bugs have been graded on four levels i.e., critical, major, minor, and low. The protocol has strong security on whatever asset is collateralized without impacting protocol and user security. They target collateral ratios, lending…

After the interest rate cut, how far can the institutional bull market go?

After the interest rate cut, how far can the institutional bull market go?

The dominant force in this cycle comes from institutions. The four major cryptocurrencies, BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB, have all hit new highs, but only BTC and BNB have continued to rise by over 40% since breaking through their all-time highs. SOL achieved a breakout earlier this year thanks to Trump's coin launch, while ETH experienced a revaluation mid-year driven by DAT buying, but neither has yet reached a new high. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates last night. How far can this round of institutional-led market trends go? 1. The institutional configuration logic of the three major currencies The positioning of crypto assets directly determines their long-term value, and different positioning corresponds to different institutional configuration logic. Bitcoin: The anti-inflation property of digital gold Positioned as "digital gold," its long-term logic is strongly tied to the fiat currency inflation cycle. Data shows that its market capitalization growth is synchronized with Global M2 and negatively correlated with the US dollar index. Its core value lies in its "inflation resistance" and value preservation and appreciation, making it a fundamental target for institutional investment. Ethereum: The Institutional Narrative Dividend of the World Computer Positioned as the "World Computer," although the foundation's "Layer 2 scaling" narrative has failed to gain traction in the capital market, its stable system, with 10 years of zero downtime, has capitalized on the development of institutional narratives such as US dollar stablecoins, RWAs, and the tokenization of US stocks. It has shrugged off the collapse of the Web3 narrative, and with the crucial push from DAT, has achieved a revaluation of its market capitalization. Ethereum, with its stability and security, will become the settlement network for institutional applications. Solana: The Active Advantage of Online Capital Markets Positioned as an "Internet Capital Market," Solana (ICM) stands for on-chain asset issuance, trading, and clearing. It has experienced a resurgence following the collapse of FTX. Year-to-date, it accounts for 46% of on-chain trading volume, with over 3 million daily active users year-round, making it the most active blockchain network. Solana, with its superior performance and high liquidity, will be the catalyst for the crypto-native on-chain trading ecosystem. The three platforms have distinct positioning, leading to different institutional investment logic. Traditional financial institutions first understand the value of Bitcoin, then consider developing their institutional business based on Ethereum, and finally, perhaps recognize the value of on-chain transactions. This is a typical path: question, understand, and become a part of it. Second, institutional holdings of the three major currencies show gradient differences The institutional holdings data of BTC, ETH, and SOL show obvious gradient differences, which also reflects the degree and rhythm of institutions' recognition of these three projects. Chart by: IOBC Capital From the comparison, we can see that institutional holdings of BTC and ETH account for > 18% of the circulating supply; SOL currently only accounts for 9.5%, and there may be room for replenishment. 3. SOL DAT: New Trends in Crypto Concept Stocks In the past month or so, 18 SOL DAT companies have come onto the scene, directly pushing SOL up by more than 50% from its August low. The louder SOL DAT company: Chart by: IOBC Capital Among the existing SOL DAT companies, Forward Industries, led by Multicoin Capital founder Kyle Samani, may become the SOL DAT leader. Unlike BTC DAT, which simply hoards coins, many SOL DAT companies will build their own Solana Validators, so that this is not limited to the "NAV game". Instead of simply waiting for token appreciation, they will continue to obtain cash flow income through the Validator business. This strategy is equivalent to "hoarding coins + mining", which is both long-term and profitable in the short term. 4. Crypto Concept Stocks: A Mapping of Capital Market Betting Crypto concept stocks are a new bridge between traditional capital and the crypto market. The degree of recognition of various Crypto businesses by the traditional financial market is also reflected in the stock price performance of crypto concept stocks. Chart by: IOBC Capital Looking back at the crypto stocks that have seen significant gains this round, we can see two common characteristics: 1. Only by betting big can a valuation reassessment be achieved. There are 189 publicly listed companies holding BTC, but only 30 hold 70% of their stock market capitalization, and only 12 hold more than 10,000 BTC—and these 12 have seen significant gains. A similar pattern is observed among listed ETH DATs. A superficial DAT strategy can only cause short-term stock price fluctuations and cannot substantially boost stock market capitalization or liquidity. 2. Business synergy can amplify commercial value. Transforming a single-point business into a multifaceted industry chain layout can amplify commercial value. For example, Robinhood, through its expansion into cryptocurrency trading, real-world asset trading (RRE), and participation in the USDG stablecoin, has formed a closed-loop business cycle for capital flow, leading to record highs in its stock price. Conversely, while Trump Media has also invested heavily in crypto (holding BTC, applying for an ETH ETF, and issuing tokens like Trump, Melania, and WLFI), the lack of synergy between its businesses has ultimately led to a lackluster market response to both its stock and its token. Ending The project philosophies of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana correspond to three instincts of human beings when facing the future: survival, order, and flow.
