Analysis: Whales betting on $SOL puts due to impending SOL token unlock event As multi-billion dollars worth of Solana (SOL) will be unlocked in the near future, whales are betting on SOL puts on crypto options exchange Deribit, CoinDesk reported, citing data from Amberdata. Deribit recorded a sum of $32.39 million in SOL block trades last week, accounting for almost 25% of the total options volume. Block trades are typically associated with whale activity in the options market, that is, whales are trading primarily SOL puts to hedge against or profit from a potential decline in the SOL price. Greg Magadini, director of derivatives at Amberdata, noted that nearly 80% of the SOL block-trade volume was centered on put options. By contrast, there were only 40% puts for BTC and 37.5% puts for ETH during the same period. Lin Chen, Deribit's Head of Business Development for Asia, also underscored that the upcoming SOL token unlock event on March 1 will lead to significant selling pressure. By that time, 11.2 million SOL (2.29% of the total SOL supply) is scheduled to be unlocked, representing approximately 59% of SOL's daily spot trading volume. As a result, it is natural to see increased demand for SOL puts to hedge against further drops in the SOL price, Chen added.
