[Gift Expert PICK] Solana long position concentration accelerates, surging by 3.33%

■ Status of Major Cryptocurrency Long Positions

In terms of position standards, the most notable change is XRP. Its USD margin ratio rose to 56.47% (+2.75 percentage points), and its coin margin ratio increased to 71.91% (+0.99 percentage points). Both moved upward, indicating the strongest inflow of bullish capital among major assets. In contrast, Ethereum’s coin margin ratio fell sharply to 78.26% (-1.20 percentage points), confirming a trend of leverage contraction. This is interpreted as a short-term risk-management-related adjustment of positions. Solana’s USD margin ratio rose to 64.00% (+1.83 percentage points), while its coin margin ratio declined, making it possible to observe a structural shift of funds toward USD margin. Bitcoin’s USD margin (-0.34 percentage points) and coin margin (-0.19 percentage points) both dipped slightly, continuing to maintain a wait-and-see posture without an obvious directional trend.

■ Proportion of Long Position Accounts

Based on account standards, there is a clear upward trend in the overall share of longs, with stronger buying power centered on individual investors. The coin with the most outstanding performance is Solana. Its USD margin ratio recorded 71.61% (+3.33 percentage points), the largest increase, indicating a concentrated inflow of new long positions. Ethereum (USD margin +2.74 percentage points) and Dogecoin (USD margin +2.51 percentage points) also rose by more than 2 percentage points, confirming a trend of expanding participation in buying. Especially Dogecoin—its coin margin ratio remains at a high level of 87.06%—continues to show a strong bullish bias. On the other hand, Bitcoin’s USD margin increased slightly (+0.82 percentage points), but its coin margin decreased (-0.74 percentage points), indicating signs that some funds’ characteristics have shifted.

■ Coins With the Strongest Long Positions

[Editor’s Note] The trading patterns of top cryptocurrency futures traders are an important indicator for gauging the future direction of the cryptocurrency market. Given their high degree of trading expertise and market sensitivity, observing the coins in which this group holds concentrated long positions helps in understanding overall investor sentiment and directional trends. However, it should be noted that some traders may use futures contracts to hedge spot positions, so additional analysis is needed when interpreting the data. CoinGlass defines the top traders as investors whose margin balance ranks in the top 20%.

The USD margin market (U market) is mainly favored by institutional investors seeking stable returns, used to reduce volatility, conduct short-term trading, and hedge. The coin margin market (C market) is mostly for crypto bulls or long-term holders who want to increase their assets through leverage. During a bull market, an increase in open contracts in the C market may indicate market optimism; during a bear market, growth in trading volume in the U market may signal inflows of institutional funds.
