Solana Price Prediction: SOL Price Stands Strong as Market Drops as $15 Billion Expiry Options End

bearish:

When a wall of options rolls off, crypto usually holds its breath. That’s what happened on the August month-end: nearly $15 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options expired on Friday, a setup that often pins prices and then releases them in a choppier fashion once the hedges unwind.

Even so, Solana (SOL) barely flinched, repeatedly defending the psychological $200 area while the broader market hesitated.

What Just Happened with the $15B Expiry, and Why it Matters for SOL

Large expiries can create “max-pain” gravity, where spot prices cluster around levels that minimise option payouts; once contracts settle, dealers reduce their hedges and volatility can reappear.

Friday’s batch, valued at approximately $11.7B BTC and $3.2B ETH notional, according to Deribit tallies, was one of the year’s largest and it came as zero-day options activity continues to grow across crypto venues.

The punchline: despite that pressure, Solana didn’t lose its footing as the $200 line, as seen in the chart below, keeps holding.

After and into the expiry, SOL printed a wide intraday band ($217.84 high to $200.44 low on August 29) but closed near $205. It then hovered around $202–206 on August 30.

In other words, buyers defended the same round-number level multiple times in 48 hours; textbook evidence of a firm base.

Remittix ($RTX): A PayFi Breakout Poised for Lift-Off

Here’s where the script really flips. If Solana’s price predictions of the token moving to $250 become a reality and the market regains its bullish momentum, Remittix may not just ride that wave; it could explode upward, thanks to its low market saturation and sharp uptrend in real-world traction.

Remittix isn’t chasing meme-driven hype; it’s solving real problems.

Think crypto that actually lands in your bank account, across borders, in a few seconds. That’s the narrative professionals are rallying behind.

What’s more:

Massive presale traction: Remittix has already turned heads, having raised over US $22 million through its presale and sold more than 630 million tokens, all at under $0.10 each. This volume has made it one of 2025’s fastest-growing presales, and its listing on BitMart and LBank is already locked, with other exchange listings not far behind.
Real utility, not vaporware: Unlike coins that live on expectations, Remittix delivers. It’s a fully audited PayFi platform, enabling crypto-to-bank transfers in over developing countries.
Public beta wallet launch fueling momentum: The beta version of their mobile wallet, scheduled for Q3 2025, is designed for real-time FX conversion across major blockchains.

Plus, Remittix’s infrastructure has cleared a CertiK audit, and they’re already offering a $250,000 token giveaway to boost engagement.
