🔥🚀 $SOL ’s Split Market: Institutions add exposure while futures indicate short-term pressure 🔥🚀

Solana shows a very clear divergence right now and traders should not ignore it.

Institutional access to SOL has just expanded after Invesco and Galaxy Digital launched the Solana ETP, making it easier for organized capital to gain exposure. This is slow structural demand - the kind that builds positions over time, not chasing daily candles.

At the same time, the derivatives market sends a different signal. SOL futures contracts are trading at a discount and perpetual funding rates are negative, telling us that short-term traders are in a defensive position. Short positions dominate, leverage is cautious, and confidence in the near-term upside is limited.

This is not a contradiction, it's a timing issue..

👑 My view:

As long as futures remain depressed and funding stays negative, SOL could face pressure or sharp declines throughout the day. But the increasing institutional footprint reduces the chance of a deep structural collapse.

In the short term: fragile and sensitive to headlines.

In the medium term: supported by improved access and steady accumulation.

This split in the market deserves close monitoring, and is usually resolved by a decisive move, not sideways forever.
