Solana traders are paying the highest funding rates since September 2025 to hold long positions above $78, according to Velo data cited by CryptoSlate on Saturday. Aggregated open interest on SOL perpetual futures sits near $1.8 billion, roughly 23.1 million SOL in notional exposure, with Binance, Bybit, Hyperliquid, and OKX all printing positive funding near 0.01% every eight hours. That's a crowded book defending a single line.
SOL heads into the second week of August with a bullish CryptoBeast score of 69, but the composition matters. Sentiment carries a maxed 100 reading weighted at 35% of the score, while news volume at 55, market trend at 50, and on-chain at 50 do most of the drag work. That's a score being held up by mood, not confirmed by flow. Readers should treat the headline number as a temperature check, not a green light.
