Solana Gains Momentum: Institutional Interest, Staking Milestones & Technical Innovation
Over the past 48 hours, Solana has once again taken center stage.
$SOL surged to $144, backed by a wave of institutional confidence. Galaxy Digital reallocated $100M from ETH to SOL, while Nasdaq-listed companies like Upexi and Janover announced major SOL acquisitions, along with staking and validator node plans.
Total SOL staked has surpassed $56B – overtaking ETH – with a yield of 8.3%, signaling a secure and attractive network. At the same time, Solana continues to strengthen its infrastructure: network upgrades, progress on the Firedancer validator client, Solidity integration via Solang, and growing interoperability.
On-chain data confirms the growth: 220M+ active addresses and $500B+ DEX volume – both outperforming Ethereum. Additionally, Astra Fintech launched a $100M fund dedicated to Solana-based projects, further solidifying the network’s role as a Web3 innovation hub.
Solana is not just climbing the charts — it’s attracting capital, developers, and users at an impressive pace. With record staking, real-world adoption, and ongoing upgrades, SOL is cementing its place as a technological leader in crypto.
