DeFi Dev Corp’s Bold Commitment to Solana
The Solana treasury reserve is experiencing a surge in interest from major institutional players, joining the ranks of other distinguished cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. DeFi Development Corp, a publicly listed company, has made substantial investments in Solana, underscoring the increasing trust in SOL among institutional investors.
This strategic acquisition by DeFi Development Corp signals a profound institutional commitment to the Solana ecosystem, hinting at a preparation for the forthcoming blockchain evolution. As reported by SolanaFloor, DeFi Dev Corp recently expanded its Solana holdings by purchasing an additional 110,466 SOL, valued at approximately $18.4 million at the time of purchase, with an average price of $166 per coin.
As a result of this significant acquisition, the company’s total Solana holdings have reached 1.29 million SOL, worth about $209 million. This purchase follows closely on the heels of a previous acquisition of $20 million worth of SOL just a week prior.
New companies are expressing interest in establishing a Solana treasury reserve, driven by the network’s remarkable growth. SolanaFloor reported that Artelo Biosciences Inc., a pharmaceutical corporation, is preparing to launch its SOL treasury strategy.
Artelo Biosciences, listed on Nasdaq, recently secured $9.47 million through a private placement to initiate its SOL treasury strategy. This move makes it the first publicly traded pharmaceutical company to adopt Solana as a reserve asset. SolanaFloor highlighted that Bartosz Lipiński, a leading investor and former Solana Labs employee, will provide strategic guidance through CUBE, a crypto-based platform responsible for managing DeFi execution, staking, and storage. “Artelo joins a growing list of publicly traded companies adopting SOL for treasury management,” the platform noted.
Solana’s Network Revenue Dominance
The surge in Solana acquisitions coincides with a heightened interest in Layer 1 scalability solutions and a resurgence in developer activity. Solana is currently leading the charge in terms of network revenue, attracting both users and developers with its robust infrastructure.
As detailed by SolanaFloor, Solana has consistently outperformed all Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks in terms of revenue, maintaining this dominance for 20 consecutive weeks. This achievement underscores Solana’s growing influence in the blockchain industry. SOL’s revenue figures have surpassed those of its competitors, including Tron, Ethereum, and Bitcoin.
Data indicates that Solana generated $16.6 million in revenue in a single week, particularly from July 28 to August 3. Tron ranks second with $14.05 million, followed by Ethereum with $11.4 million in weekly revenue.
