Open Interest and Solana Price Drop Significantly
On April 14, the open interest (OI) of Solana futures contracts was reported at $1.62 billion. This figure shows a decrease of 21% from the previous day. Open interest represents the total value of all outstanding Solana futures contracts across exchanges.
According to CoinMarketCap, Solana price is around $138.94 at the time of writing (April 16).
Solana's sharp price drop resulted in the liquidation of traders' long positions worth $36.55 million.
This drop comes at an inauspicious time for those hoping for a price increase ahead of the upcoming Bitcoin halving on April 20.

Views from a Venture Capitalist
Chris Burniske, a venture capitalist and former crypto analyst at ARK Invest, now a partner at Placeholder, noted the similarities between Celestia (TIA) and Solana (SOL)'s early trajectories.
Based on Solana's performance in 2020, Burniske thinks that Celestia supporters who were disappointed by the recent significant correction in TIA's price may be able to take solace in the developments in Solana's situation.
Burniske's comparison highlights the growth potential for emerging blockchain projects, despite facing initial setbacks.
Burniske comments:
“Lots of complaints about TIA after the token rose ~10x on public markets in ~4 months.
Most of them don't know that SOL also rose ~10x in 2020, then fell 80%, then rose 100x+ in 2021.
If you can't handle negative volatility, you don't deserve profits.”
