Galaxy Digital CEO: Market Is Entering the "SOL Season," Market Momentum and Regulatory Signals Are All Favorable to Solana's Development

2025.09.12 08:32:21

On September 12th, Mike Novogratz, the CEO of Galaxy Digital, stated that the crypto market is entering what he refers to as the "SOL (Solana) Season." This is because both market momentum and regulatory signals are favorable to the blockchain. In a CNBC interview on Thursday, Novogratz emphasized that Forward Industries (code FORD), which is led by Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital, recently completed a $1.65 billion financing round. The purpose of this round is to build the world's largest Solana treasury strategy. A crypto treasury company focusing on altcoins is injecting new vitality and funds into the field. He also mentioned the changing regulatory landscape. Paul Atkins, the Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, recently stated that the agency is working to "advance securities rule modernization to allow for market digitization." Novogratz described this move as a "thorough departure" from past policies, indicating accelerated institutional adoption. In addition, Nasdaq has recently submitted a rule change proposal to the SEC, seeking approval to list tokenized versions of stocks and ETFs for trading on the same order book as traditional securities. Novogratz stated that blockchain technology now has rapid, secure, and reliable characteristics, coupled with a robust regulatory framework, which is preparing Wall Street for adoption. He specifically pointed out that Solana, with its speed and high throughput, has become a customized blockchain suitable for the financial market. He emphasized that Solana and Ethereum are engaged in benign competition in rebuilding the global financial infrastructure. As applications mature, multi-chains will coexist through bridging.

CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated in a post that Bitcoin’s current price trend is primarily driven by the futures market. Open interest continues to rise, but on-chain spot demand remains in net negative territory. He noted that a sustainable rally requires growth in both spot and futures demand, adding that the market is currently more dependent on leveraged funds rather than genuine buying support. Ki Young Ju also pointed out that April’s market performance demonstrated futures-driven rallies lacking spot demand backing tend to be unsustainable.

Bloomberg: World Cup Frenzy Subsides, Polymarket’s Trading Volume Plummets

According to Bloomberg, prediction market platform Polymarket experienced a trading boom during the 2026 World Cup, with heavy betting on match scores, celebrity game attendance, and player-related events generating massive trading volume for the platform. However, once the World Cup ended, market enthusiasm cooled rapidly, leaving Polymarket in a "trough period". Both Polymarket and Kalshi, the two leading prediction market platforms, reached record trading volumes during the tournament. But as of the end of July, the combined weekly trading volume of Polymarket’s international and U.S. platforms has fallen 56% from its June all-time high. By contrast, Kalshi saw a roughly 25% decline over the same period. Bloomberg points out that Polymarket and Kalshi had previously competed fiercely in the prediction market sector, but with a lack of major sports events or political developments to fuel user demand, Polymarket’s downward trend in trading activity is intensifying.
