Key Highlights:

• President Trump will host the first White House Crypto Summit on March 7, focusing on national crypto policy, stablecoin regulations, and a U.S. crypto stockpile.

• The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) will launch Solana futures on March 17, providing institutional investors with new exposure to SOL.

In what could be a defining moment for the crypto industry Paradisers, President Donald Trump has announced that he will host the first-ever White House Crypto Summit on March 7. This high-profile event, led by AI & Crypto Czar David Sacks, will bring together industry CEOs, investors, and regulators to discuss America’s crypto future.

This announcement comes on the heels of Trump’s executive order, which not only aims to position the U.S. as a global leader in crypto innovation but also overturns Biden’s previous regulatory crackdown. Among the proposed initiatives is the creation of a national crypto stockpile, signaling the administration’s intent to embrace Bitcoin and digital assets as strategic financial instruments.

And if that wasn’t enough, Trump’s order explicitly bans the development of a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC)—a move that will delight crypto purists who see CBDCs as government-controlled surveillance tools disguised as financial innovation.

CME Launching Solana Futures: A Lifeline for the Market?

While Washington prepares for its crypto makeover, traditional finance is already moving fast. CME Group, one of the world’s largest derivatives exchanges, has announced that it will introduce Solana (SOL) futures on March 17, pending regulatory approval.

The new futures contracts will offer both micro contracts (25 SOL) and standard contracts (500 SOL), all of which will be cash-settled. This expansion provides institutional traders an easier way to gain exposure to Solana—without the complexities of actually holding or staking SOL.

CME’s move suggests growing institutional demand for SOL, a significant shift considering Bitcoin and Ethereum have historically dominated regulated crypto futures markets.

Solana Price Reacts—But Is It Sustainable?

The market certainly reacted. After the CME announcement, SOL surged by 17%, climbing from $125 to $146. However, the broader trend still looks bearish, with Solana down 46% in February alone.

Technically, SOL is well below its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), a key level for long-term momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 33, putting SOL on the edge of oversold territory—suggesting a potential bottom may be forming.

But here’s the real question: Will institutional capital be enough to push Solana back to its February highs of $233?

Crypto’s Liquidity Problem—And Why It Matters

At the heart of the current market struggles is a lack of fresh capital. The rally that followed Trump’s re-election has stalled, and institutional investors, who initially piled into Bitcoin for arbitrage trades between spot and futures markets, are now getting squeezed.

Kyle Chassé, founder of Master Ventures, notes that Bitcoin needs organic buyers, not just hedge funds looking to exploit temporary price inefficiencies. Until that happens, the crypto market may struggle to regain bullish momentum.
