World launches a Solana prediction market for 1M waitlisted users as SOL price and activity draw attention

Solana-based activity remained in focus as World, an identity-and-payments platform, opened its Solana prediction market to over 1 million waitlisted users, following a Sept. 9 announcement ^[1].

Solana also saw a reported spike in new token launches, with one report saying 263K new assets were minted in a single day as Solana was framed as a venue for ongoing token issuance rather than “token fatigue.” ^[2].

On the market side, SOL was reported trading near $101.2 and down 2.1% on the day in one account, while another report put SOL at $102.78, down 0.57% over the last 24 hours and noted SOL was above major daily EMAs at the time of writing ^{[1] [3]}.

Open interest conditions were also highlighted in one SOL-focused market read, which reported open interest falling from a peak of $7.5 billion to about $6.6 billion, alongside noting short liquidations near $100 million around Aug. 20 ^[3].

Separate from Solana, one crypto-market report said the broader market traded mostly lower while Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, XRP, Solana, Zcash, and Hyperli were listed among assets declining, with TRON described as the only major non-stablecoin gaining among the featured assets ^[4].
