Cryptocurrencies remain a hot commodity for retail and institutional investors alike.

Bitcoin surged back to around $60,000 earlier this week after trading between $36,000 and $48,000 since August.

Investors are turning to cryptocurrencies for a lot of different reasons:

There are many other reasons why cryptocurrencies remain in-vogue with investors. But the lesser-known altcoin Solana has gone under the radar, yet provided a 15,000% return over the last 12 months.

In this episode of The Bull & The Bear, I tell you about how Solana is crushing the competition.

Money Pours Into Crypto, Just Like Stocks

To gauge the current popularity of cryptos, we can examine the futures open interest in the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, bitcoin.

Bitcoin Futures Open Interest Remains Close to All-Time Highs

By definition, open interest is the total number of futures contracts held by market participants at the end of a trading day. You take all the contracts from open trades and subtract the contracts when the trade is closed to get the open interest.

Experts use open interest as an indicator to examine market sentiment and the strength of current price trends. With bitcoin, as with many cryptocurrencies, the open interest has risen along with the closing price.

As of mid-October, the open interest in bitcoin futures contracts reached an all-time high of $14.9 billion, while its price moved closer to $60,000.

This high point indicates that more traders are entering the market, infusing more capital into buying the cryptocurrency.

Solana follows the same trend and producing massive gains. Listen to The Bull & The Bear to find out why.
