— This growth reflects significant confidence in the use of Solana for DeFi applications, smart contracts, and stablecoins, enhancing its position as a leading blockchain platform.
Increasing institutional demand and collaboration from companies and investors to invest in SOL.
DeFi Dev Corp announced that it has expanded its holdings of SOL to approximately 640,585 tokens, as part of a long-term accumulation strategy with its staking to enhance the network and participate in Solana's infrastructure.
Additionally, there is a shift from some companies towards concentrating their assets on Solana, as seen with Sol Strategies, Inc. which reduced its investments in Bitcoin and increased its holdings of SOL.
Solana is working on technical updates, such as the new client Firedancer, which is expected to improve performance and increase the reliability of the network.
These enhancements may make the network more capable of supporting large projects, high-capacity Web3 applications with high transaction speeds, making it a strong competitor to other blockchain chains.
