Forward Industries, known for making protective casing for medical devices, has announced a massive $1.65B private placement to go big on Solana ($SOL).

Backed by big names like Galaxy Digital and Multicoin Capital, the move shows tremendous institutional confidence in Solana’s future.

Forward Industries’ stocks shot up by 6% right after the announcement and have continued to rise steadily overall, indicating the market took it well.

With Solana looking good, now is the perfect time to look at Snorter Token ($SNORT), the Swiss-army knife you need for trading everything Solana-based.

Why the Enthusiasm? Understanding Solana’s Momentum

Why are the big players piling into Solana right now? The technical indicators could hold the answer. Solana’s price chart is showing what traders call a bull pennant pattern.

X post outlining Solana's position and predicting a pump to $1KThink of it as a pause in the middle of a major run-up. The price surged over 70% from June to August, and now it’s catching its breath before a potential big move. If the pattern plays out, some analysts predict the price could hit $300 in the near term, with some even eyeing $1K down the road.

Beyond the charts, the network itself is thriving. Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has skyrocketed to $12.987B, a massive 109% jump since April, driven by increased activity on popular dApps like Raydium and Jupiter.

The combo of strong technical signals and real-world growth is what makes Solana such an attractive bet for big investors and companies alike. Projects like Snorter Token ($SNORT), which amplify real-world growth by making Solana-based trading easier, can only strengthen the network.

Solana’s Institutional Wave Builds: Pantera Eyes $1.25 Billion Treasury https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-institutional-wave-builds-pantera-eyes-1-25-billion-treasury/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-institutional-wave-builds-pantera-eyes-1-25-billion-treasury/#respond Wed, 27 Aug 2025 01:07:39 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-institutional-wave-builds-pantera-eyes-1-25-billion-treasury/

Pantera Capital is seeking to raise $1.25 billion for a Solana treasury, adding to the wave of institutional momentum building behind the asset.

Pantera Plans To Convert A Nasdaq-Listed Firm Into A Solana Treasury Vehicle

As first reported by The Information, Pantera Capital is planning to raise funds to create a Solana treasury vehicle. Initially, the firm intends to raise around $500 million from investors. It will then put these funds into a Nasdaq-listed company, which will use them to buy SOL and convert into a treasury vehicle called “Solana Co.”

Pantera Capital is an American venture capital and hedge fund specializing in digital assets and blockchain technology. The firm became the first to launch a cryptocurrency fund in the US back in 2013 and today, it manages over $4.8 billion in assets.

In a letter earlier in the month, Pantera disclosed it has invested over $300 million in digital asset treasury (DAT) companies. The firm said its investment thesis was based on a simple premise: “DATs can generate yield to grow net asset value per share, resulting in more underlying token ownership over time than just holding spot.”

Pantera is also an investor in medical firm Sharps Technology’s bid to create a $400 million Solana treasury, according to a press release from Sharps on Monday. And now, it seems the company is making a more direct push in the treasury space with its latest proposal. Beyond the initial $500 million, the firm also plans to raise another $750 million through warrants. If the plan comes to fruition, Solana Co. would become the largest SOL treasury in existence.

Interestingly, the report about Pantera comes just a day after another report revealed that Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital are planning a $1 billion SOL treasury.

Upexi is currently the largest Solana treasury company with around 2 million tokens (about $383 million at the latest exchange rate), so the proposal from Galaxy and others would have already more than doubled the record. Now, Pantera’s plan could surpass even that.

The digital asset treasury model was popularized by Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly Microstrategy). Other companies soon followed by putting Bitcoin on their balance sheets, but recently, altcoins have started to get attention as well.

With Galaxy and partners, Pantera, and Sharps all unveiling Solana treasury plans, there now seems to be a real shift in institutional momentum behind the cryptocurrency.

So far, treasury companies have added around 0.75% of the SOL circulating supply to their holdings, according to data from institutional DeFi solutions provider Sentora (previously IntoTheBlock).

From the chart, it’s visible that the same figure sits at more than 9% for Bitcoin and about 3.4% for Ethereum. Thus, it seems SOL is still quite early in the treasury push.

SOL Price

At the time of writing, Solana is floating around $190, down over 3% in the last 24 hours.

Solana’s $200 Comeback Is No Mere ‘Speculative Pop’ – Here’s Why https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-200-comeback-is-no-mere-speculative-pop-heres-why/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-200-comeback-is-no-mere-speculative-pop-heres-why/#respond Fri, 15 Aug 2025 23:06:12 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-200-comeback-is-no-mere-speculative-pop-heres-why/

Solana (SOL) has emerged as one of the month’s top gainers, rising over 20% as optimism spreads across the crypto market.

Analysts say Solana’s return above $200, though brief, reflects genuine adoption trends, as it’s driven by record on-chain activity, DeFi growth, and macro tailwinds, and not mere speculation.

“Setup Is Constructive”

In a statement to CryptoPotato, experts from B2BINPAY stated that Solana’s jump back above $200 this week is “more than just a speculative pop.”

On-chain metrics, for one, reflect strong growth, as daily active wallets are nearing 3 million. Blockchain throughput has also tripled since July, while DeFi total value locked reached its highest point since 2022. Expanding NFT activity, GameFi adoption, and Visa’s recent USDC settlement pilot on the Solana network add further credibility to its rally, according to the analysts.

From a technical perspective, the $200 mark has emerged as a solid support level, with relatively thin resistance between $219 and $222. A decisive breakout above that range, accompanied by strong volume, could open the door for a rapid advance toward $250-$260. This move is supported by falling Bitcoin dominance, which points to an ongoing altcoin rotation, while neutral funding rates indicate the market isn’t overly leveraged.

Macro conditions are also favorable, with a softer US dollar, September rate-cut expectations, and strong risk appetite in equities channeling liquidity into high-beta assets like Solana. B2BINPAY’s outlook remains bullish as long as SOL stays above $200 and BTC dominance continues to weaken, though a drop below $180 could pause the upward momentum.

“We think that until SOL holds $200 and BTC dominance is weakening, Solana remains one of the market’s top performers into late August. However, a break below $180 would put the rally on pause.”

Large whale holdings have also been on the rise, as those with more than 10,000 SOL jut reached a new all-time high.

Solana’s Institutional Momentum

With its rally backed by real-world use cases, Solana is increasingly finding a place in institutional portfolios once dominated by Bitcoin and Ethereum.

As reported earlier, four publicly traded companies have collectively amassed over 3.5 million SOL tokens, which roughly represent 0.65% of the circulating supply.

Upexi holds the largest publicly disclosed treasury with 1.9 million SOL, which were accumulated in just four months since April 2025. Next up is DeFi Developments Corp, which has a stash of 1,182,685 SOL.

Toronto-based SOL Strategies owns 392,667 SOL, acquired steadily through a dollar-cost averaging approach between June 2024 and July 2025, supplemented by staking rewards. Torrent Capital rounds out the list with 40,039 SOL, purchased earlier in 2025 across multiple transactions.

Solana’s xStocks top $1.6B in first month of trading, largely driven by centralized exchanges https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-xstocks-top-1-6b-in-first-month-of-trading-largely-driven-by-centralized-exchanges/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-xstocks-top-1-6b-in-first-month-of-trading-largely-driven-by-centralized-exchanges/#respond Wed, 30 Jul 2025 23:58:11 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-xstocks-top-1-6b-in-first-month-of-trading-largely-driven-by-centralized-exchanges/

Solana‑based xStocks have cleared a new milestone one month after their June 30 debut, with cumulative trading volume reaching $1.66 billion as of July 30. 

According to the project’s official dashboard at Dune, the growth has been driven overwhelmingly by centralized exchange (CEX) activity. CEX volume stands at $1.57 billion, roughly 95% of the total, while decentralized venues amounted to $85.2 million. 

On‑chain transaction volume across the xStocks ecosystem totals $356.4 million, indicating significant token activity even as most turnover occurs off‑chain.

xStocks are tokenized versions of stocks issued by Backed Finance on the Solana blockchain.

AUM grows

Assets under management (AUM) are approaching the $40 million mark, with participation broadening to 24,528 unique holders. 

Within that set, Tesla xStock (TSLAx) dominates by both reach and balance sheet. TSLAx counts 10,742 holders, more than any other listing, and leads AUM at $8.88 million.

Rounding out the top tier are SPYx with $4.76 million AUM, NVDAx with $4.39 million AUM, CRCLx with $3.67 million AUM, MSTRx with $3.38 million AUM, and GOOGLx with $1.85 million AUM. 

The ranking shows investor appetite spanning megacap techs, such as TSLAx, NVDAx, GOOGLx, broad‑market exposure with SPYx, and crypto‑linked equities with MSTRx. The presence of CRCLx in the top stocks by AUM signals interest in stablecoin‑adjacent plays.

Cooling activity

Despite the headline totals, activity has cooled into late July. On-chain transaction volumes have slid from early-month spikes around July 1–2 and mid-month bursts near July 15–21, registering lower highs.

DEX trading shows the same pattern, with firm peaks in the first half of the month, followed by lighter bars into July 29–30. The divergence suggests the market is moving from launch‑phase discovery into a more selective trading regime, with liquidity concentrating on larger listings and CEX rails.

The first‑month data paints a clear picture of how xStocks are being used. CEXs currently provide the deepest liquidity and tightest spreads, explaining their dominance of turnover.

Meanwhile, on‑chain flows and DEX volumes are meaningful but secondary, likely reflecting portfolio rebalancing, transfers, and a subset of users who prioritize self‑custody and permissionless execution.

Solana’s tokenized stocks surpass $100M in less than a month, yet DeFi use still lags https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-tokenized-stocks-surpass-100m-in-less-than-a-month-yet-defi-use-still-lags/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-tokenized-stocks-surpass-100m-in-less-than-a-month-yet-defi-use-still-lags/#respond Wed, 23 Jul 2025 20:51:25 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-tokenized-stocks-surpass-100m-in-less-than-a-month-yet-defi-use-still-lags/

Solana-based tokenized stocks surpassed $100 million in market capitalization less than one month since their official launch on June 30.

According to rwa.xyz data, the tokenized stock market on Solana is valued at nearly $102 million as of July 22, representing a 242% increase from its $29.8 million size at the debut date. This market is fueled mainly by xStocks, issued by Backed Finance.

As a result, Solana now accounts for 20.4% of the tokenized stock market. Notably, Ethereum and its layer-2 blockchains Arbitrum, Polygon, and Base account for $11.8 million, which makes Solana’s tokenized stock market over eight times larger.

The largest tokenized stock is TSLAx, representing Tesla’s shares, with a market capitalization of $13.6 million and 11,073 holders.

Tokenized S&P 500 are also in the tens of millions, with SPYx showing a market capitalization of just over $10 million and 9,886 holders.

The tokenized shares of Circle trail closely, with CRCLx reaching a $9.1 million market cap, distributed among 5,746 holders.

Furthermore, the official xStocks profile on X shared that the tokens have surpassed $300 million in on-chain trading volume.

Assessing composability

Despite the explosive growth of tokenized assets issued on Solana, xStocks investors are not interacting with DeFi protocols that have made these assets composable.

Solana-based money market Kamino offers support for eight xStocks tokens as collateral: TSLAx, SPYx, Nvidia’s NVDAx, Robinhood’s HOODx, Strategy’s MSTRx, Apple’s AAPLx, Nasdaq’s QQQx, and Alphabet’s GOOGLx.

Although their collective market cap stands at nearly $50 million, only $585,000, roughly 11%, has been used as collateral so far.

The numbers fare slightly better when it comes to liquidating providing. On Raydium’s pools, the largest TSLAx pool has $1.1 million in liquidity, of which $423,600 represents the amount of tokenized stock deposited per GeckoTerminal data.

The SPYx with most liquidity also displays a significant amount of $1.9 million in liquidity, with $502,000 worth of tokenized stocks on it.

Nevertheless, the ratio remains short. The roughly $637,000 worth of TSLAx tokens used on DeFi is just 4.7% of its market cap. For SPYx, the ratio is 7%.

Crypto to traditional, not the other way around

The relatively low usage of tokenized stocks on DeFi applications occurs mainly because money is mostly flowing from crypto to traditional products, rather than the other way around.

Michael Cahill, CEO and co-founder of Douro Labs, explained in an interview with CryptoSlate that holders from the traditional market who are entering the crypto space are not yet ready to utilize DeFi composability.

He used the Apollo Diversified Credit Securitized Fund (ACRED), launched by Pyth and created by Apollo Global Management and Securitize, as an example to illustrate that the issue of wasted composability still affects the entire tokenization industry.

ACRED has over $100 million in net asset value, yet its on-chain lending pool represents only a small fraction of this value.

However, Cahill also said he sees growth potential. He added:

“But it’s just getting started. We didn’t have xStocks last year. The last time we saw anyone making a meaningful attempt at stocks was Mmirror back in the Terra days, and it wasn’t even that big either. It’s taken a really long time for people to get comfortable with this, but I think that that’ll start very gradually and then people will get a little bit more and more comfortable.”

Furthermore, he believes a Strategy-style “big company moment” could help, but thinks the real catalyst will be the product experience with a traditional finance interface for on-chain products.

Cahill concluded:

“When you get one of those barriers to fall, then you can start to really see it grow together and explode way faster than that whole ramp-up we had with Strategy. It could happen very, very quickly in my mind.”

Solana’s break above $200 signals institutional appetite, potential to lead next capital wave on altcoins https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-break-above-200-signals-institutional-appetite-potential-to-lead-next-capital-wave-on-altcoins/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-break-above-200-signals-institutional-appetite-potential-to-lead-next-capital-wave-on-altcoins/#respond Wed, 23 Jul 2025 07:47:32 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-break-above-200-signals-institutional-appetite-potential-to-lead-next-capital-wave-on-altcoins/

Solana’s (SOL) recent climb back above $200 is a sign that the altcoin pivoted from a “meme-driven ecosystem” to a “high-beta, blue-chip alternative” that is attracting institutional attention.

According to MEXC Research chief analyst Shawn Young, the over 34% increase in July to the $202.52 price, as of press time, marks a shift in how the market values the Solana network.

In a note, Young highlighted that SOL outperformed both Bitcoin and Ethereum during the same stretch. Two key forces drive this move: anticipation of a Solana-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF) and tangible progress on core infrastructure.

The implication is that the alignment of institutional appetite, corporate treasury allocation, and network upgrades could let Solana lead the next rotation of capital into altcoins. 

Technical enhancements

Young pointed to the Block Assembly Marketplace (BAM) announced by Jito Labs as the kind of technical advance that can change the narrative. 

Programmable control over blockspace, lower MEV, and faster, cleaner sequencing would address persistent complaints about Solana’s reliability. 

For institutional validators and sophisticated builders, those upgrades signal a network that is maturing, not just riding momentum.

ETF speculation is the other pillar. Young cited more than $73 million in pre-ETF commitments and nearly 3 million SOL moving into corporate wallets last month as evidence of a longer-term positioning shift. 

Solana’s market capitalization has surpassed $100 billion, positioning it among the largest crypto. 

The analyst argued that it reflects an evolution from speculation to foundation, as Solana can benefit from the proliferation of tokenized real-world assets and the increasing demand for high-throughput on-chain infrastructure.

Next price levels

If those currents continue to flow in the same direction, Young said SOL is positioned to remain a core allocation in diversified crypto portfolios into the third quarter.

Technically, he frames the market in straightforward terms. Clearing and holding above $185 removed a key overhead barrier and opened a path toward $210, and potentially $230, provided there is no shock event and broader conditions remain benign. 

However, failing to break through $210 decisively would make a retest of the $185 zone a plausible scenario.

Young’s bottom line is that fundamentals and structure, not just sentiment, are now driving Solana’s case. 

If the promised ETF channel opens and BAM delivers the block-level control developers want, the token’s July surge could prove to be the start of a broader reallocating cycle rather than just another spike on the chart.

Solana’s Pump.fun Loses Dominance To LetsBonk.fun

In an X post, Solana News revealed that Pump.fun has hit a new all-time low with just a 36% market share, while LetsBonk.fun’s market share has surged to 54%. Jup data also confirms this development. At press time, LetsBonk boasts a market share of 48.90%, with a 24-hour trading volume of $539 million. On the other hand, Pump boasts a market share of 39.80%, with a 24-hour trading volume of $438 million.

This development comes amid Pump.fun’s proposed public token sale, scheduled for July 12. Well-known Solana influencer Lynk has described this token sale as the “final scam” for the meme coin launchpad. The platform has been under heavy criticism for the amount of money that it has extracted from the Solana ecosystem, without incentivizing community members in any way.

Some community members had expected Pump.fun to airdrop its token to rewards platform users instead of conducting a public token sale. Lynk shared details of the public sale, with the meme coin launchpad planning to sell the ‘PUMP’ tokens $0.004 each. The token boasts a total supply of 1 trillion, meaning a fully diluted value (FDV) of $4 billion. 

However, Pump.fun plans to raise around $600 million from the public token sale, as only $150 billion tokens will be available. The meme coin launchpad is expected to also conduct a private sale in order to complete its $1 billion capital raise effort, as earlier reported

LetsBonk.fun To Keep Dominating Pump.fun

In an X post, crypto influencer Unipcs, also known as ‘Bonk Guy,’ opined that Pump.fun isn’t done, but that LetsBonk.fun will likely continue to be the industry leader. He predicts that this will be the case for the foreseeable future. He outlined several reasons why he believes this would be the case.

Firstly, he stated that LetsBonk’s pro-creator, pro-people, pro-Solana ecosystem alignment is a massive strength over Pump.fun. Secondly, Bonk Guy remarked that the strong culture of support within the BONK ecosystem is incredibly hard to replicate by any other platform in a short period. 

Furthermore, the crypto influencer remarked that Pump.fun had a lot of momentum as a tokenless protocol, especially with a token generation event (TGE). However, LetsBonk.fun was able to flip the platform during this period. As such, Bonk Guy believes that it is hard to see Pump.fun sustainably recover the kind of market share it once had after the TGE event. 

He also suggested that a “non-negligible amount of activity on Pump.fun is inorganic with a lot os users farming on the platform, hoping that there was going to be an airdrop. As such, the influencer believes that the traffic will dry up once the TGE is over.

Solana’s tokenized stock market more than triples in two weeks to hit $48M https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-tokenized-stock-market-more-than-triples-in-two-weeks-to-hit-48m/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-tokenized-stock-market-more-than-triples-in-two-weeks-to-hit-48m/#respond Tue, 08 Jul 2025 01:45:52 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/solanas-tokenized-stock-market-more-than-triples-in-two-weeks-to-hit-48m/

Solana’s tokenized stock market hit $48.53 million on July 4, up more than threefold from $15.28 million on June 20, according to on-chain data tracked by rwa.xyz.

Solana’s tokenized stocks capitalization expanded more than threefold in two weeks, outpacing every other tracked network during the period. 

Furthermore, the tokenized stock market on Solana represented 11.4% of the total market capitalization. Algorand remains the leader in the segment, with $294.71 million, while XRP Ledger follows in second place with $55.35 million. 

Tokenized shares trade as on-chain representations of traditional equities and settle under the SPL standard on Solana. 

Prices are tracked through off-chain market-making and periodic collateral audits, which reflect the underlying securities.

Concentrated issuance

The rwa.xyz catalog lists 61 Solana-based tokenized stocks, all minted by Backed Finance, a Switzerland-registered entity. The July 4 snapshot attributes $48.53 million of Solana assets to the issuer, equal to 31% of Backed’s $155 million aggregate stock tokenizations across all networks.

The tokenized versions of real stocks are a product named xStocks by Backed. These products are available for trading in major exchanges, such as Kraken and Bybit. 

Backed introduced its first Solana-native equity tokens in April and accelerated issuance through a permissioned mint-and-burn gateway that links to regulated custodians holding the underlying shares.

Backed structures each token as a debt security backed 1-for-1 by the corresponding stock, with settlement handled through authorized participants. 

Holders may swap tokens for the underlying equity by completing a Know Your Customer (KYC) process and routing the request to the issuer’s transfer agent.

Market participants have cited the mechanism as a useful bridge between centralized broker-dealer liquidity and decentralized finance tools such as automated market makers and lending protocols.

Backed Finance has publicly stated that it plans to add additional equities and exchange-traded funds to its Solana program in the second half of the year, contingent upon market maker demand. 

A continued cadence similar to June’s could push Solana past XRP Ledger for the second-place slot by total stock value.

XRP has taken the lead over Solana in realized capital growth, indicating renewed investor confidence. According to Glassnode, XRP’s 30-day percentage change in realized cap—a metric that measures the total value of coins moved at their last price—has jumped +4.2%. Solana has only seen +1% growth over the same period.

This divergence means capital is rotating into XRP faster than Solana, implying short-term accumulation by traders who are positioning for a breakout. Realized cap is especially useful during times of uncertainty, as it shows wealth that has actually moved on-chain rather than speculative market value. A higher realized cap growth often correlates with more network activity and investor confidence.

For context:

  • XRP 30D Realized Cap: +4.2%
  • SOL 30D Realized Cap: +1%

The big jump in XRP’s realized capital could be seen as a sign of shifting sentiment among retail and institutional traders alike, possibly ahead of regulatory clarity or broader crypto market momentum.

XRP Technical Analysis Says Be Cautious

Despite the on-chain strength, XRP’s chart is still cautionary. It’s trading at $2.13, down 0.70% in the last 24 hours and stuck below a descending trendline that has rejected every bullish attempt since early June.

Price action failed to reclaim the 50-period EMA on the 2-hour chart (now at $2.19), and XRP has printed a lower high. Red-bodied candles with rejection wicks at $2.18 show continued resistance.

The MACD has a slight bullish crossover, but the histogram is fading, so not much momentum for now.

Key Technical Levels:

  • Resistance: $2.18, $2.22
  • Support: $2.09, $2.0474, $2.0042
  • EMA Barrier: 50-EMA at $2.19

XRP price prediction remains bearish unless XRP breaks above the descending trendline and confirms strength above $2.22; traders may continue to see downside pressure.

XRP Trade Setups to Watch

As XRP consolidates under resistance, traders have clearly defined levels to monitor for both bullish and bearish strategies.

Short Trade Idea:

  • Entry: Rejection near $2.18
  • Stop: Above $2.22
  • Targets: $2.0936, $2.0474

Long Trade Setup:

  • Entry: Breakout and close above $2.22
  • Stop: Below $2.18
  • Targets: $2.27, $2.3365

For now, the fundamentals suggest investor interest is heating up, but price must follow through with a clean breakout to confirm the next leg higher. Until then, XRP remains at a technical crossroads.

BTC Bull Token Nears $8.1M Cap as 58% APY Staking Attracts Last-Minute Buyers

With Bitcoin trading near $105K, investor focus is shifting toward altcoins, especially BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL). The project has now raised $7,141,005.09 out of its $8,216,177 cap, leaving less than $1 million before the next token price hike. The current price of $0.00256 is expected to increase once the cap is hit.

BTC Bull Token links its value directly to Bitcoin through two core mechanisms:

  • BTC Airdrops reward holders, with presale participants receiving priority.
  • Supply Burns occur automatically every time BTC increases by $50,000, reducing $BTCBULL’s circulating supply.

The token also features a 58% APY staking pool holding over 1.81 billion tokens, offering:

The token also features a 61% APY staking pool holding over 1.73 billion tokens, offering:

  • No lockups or fees
  • Full liquidity
  • Stable passive yields, even in volatile markets

This staking model appeals to both DeFi veterans and newcomers seeking hands-off income.

With just hours left and the hard cap nearly reached, momentum is building fast. BTCBULL’s blend of Bitcoin-linked value, scarcity mechanics, and flexible staking is fueling strong demand. Early buyers have a limited time to enter before the next pricing tier activates.
