Open interest is an important metric observed by investors and traders. It is a number that shows the number of outstanding derivative contracts for an asset that has not been settled. A higher figure is usually a positive sign.
Solana price has jumped ahead of the upcoming Sam Bankman-Fried trial, which I wrote about here. The trial is important for Solana since it was one of the biggest holdings by FTX and Alameda Research. FTX is considering liquidating some of its liquid assets, including Solana as it aims to refund its customers.
Meanwhile, Solana price has jumped as the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi has jumped sharply in the past few months. The TVL has soared to over $1.15 billion in the past few months. Stablecoins in the ecosystem stands at over $1.58 billion. The biggest assets in the ecosystem are SPL Governance, Streamflow, Marinade Finance, and Lido.
Most importantly, Solana price rose after Washington passed a short-term spending bill that prevented a government shutdown.
