BTC, ETH and SOL Futures volumes show diverging trends: Glassnode

Future trading volume for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana are showing diverging trends, according to Glassnode. Per Glassnode , an onchain and financial metrics platform, Bitcoin ( BTC ) futures volume is suggesting a rebound. Meanwhile, Ethereum ( ETH ) and Solana ( SOL ), two of the world’s largest altcoins by market cap, have their futures volumes mostly flat. BTC, ETH and SOL futures volumes In the market, analysts use futures volumes as a key indicator of an asset’s market health. It also points to trader behavior, crucial to discerning potential market recovery or continued downside pressure. When futures volumes rise, the suggestion is a flip in liquidity and trader interest. Often, this precedes notable price movements. Bitcoin has witnessed this in the past and may yet rebound after massive sell-off pressure since dropping under $100k.

Nonetheless, latest data Glassnode shared shows the volume stands at $28 billion, off its one-year peak of $37 billion. Meanwhile, SOL Futures volume rose from $7 billion in January to a YTD high of $12.2 billion. However, since reaching this peak in February, Solana futures volumes are down to $8.7 billion.

But their outlook for Ethereum is less optimistic, with their forecast putting ETH at around $4,000 by December 2025. Notably, this slashed Standard Chartered’s previous forecast of $10k for ETH.
