We are pleased to announce that our treasury has further strengthened its position in #Solana with the recent purchase of 711 $SOL at an average price of €154.60, representing an investment of €110,002. Following this acquisition, our total holdings have reached 14,905 SOL, valued at approximately €2.32M as of August 18, 2025 – a 22% increase in value since inception.
This strategic accumulation, made possible through our €2M non-dilutive bond issuance, reflects our continued confidence in Solana's fundamentals. We remain consistent in building our position in Solana and are committed to its ecosystem for the long term.

Institutional demand for Solana is on the rise
Fresh data shows that 18 tracked institutions now collectively hold 20.92M $SOL (~$4.45B), representing 3.64% of the total supply. Of this amount, 12.47M $SOL is staked with an average yield of 7.7%, underscoring a growing commitment to long-term participation in the ecosystem.
With more entities accumulating reserves and staking at scale, Solana continues to strengthen its role as a core blockchain asset across institutional portfolios.
Solana ecosystem shows accelerating growth
Despite a recent dip in $SOL price, demand from institutions is holding strong as U.S. staking ETFs saw $16.2M in net inflows in just one day, extending a two-week streak. At the same time, stablecoin activity on Solana is surging with $1B USDC minted in the past 24 hours, pushing the total stablecoin market cap to a new all-time high of $13.44B. Adding to the momentum, Solana DePIN projects have also reached a record $1.6M in monthly revenue, underscoring the powerful growth across the ecosystem and hinting at what could come next.
One of the coolest things about Solana right now? Small retail traders still dominate daily volume.
Even with big institutions steadily deploying capital into $SOL, the network remains retail-driven at its core. That balance matters, it shows #Solana isn’t just being shaped from the top down, but fueled by grassroots adoption and real users transacting every day. It’s a mix that keeps the ecosystem vibrant, resilient, and harder to monopolize.
Solana apps generated $193M in revenue in August, highlighting the rapid growth and strong demand within the ecosystem. Leading platforms such as Axiom, Pumpfun, Phantom, and Jupiter played a key role, while the wider wave of founders, apps, and tokens continues to build momentum.
These results once again confirm Solana’s powerful trajectory and reinforce why the ecosystem is gaining so much attention.
Solana is entering a new phase of adoption with momentum building on every front. The network is nearing a major inflection point as blue-chip giants like Stripe and PayPal begin building on it. At the same time, Brera Holdings has rebranded to Solmate and unveiled a $300M Solana treasury initiative in the UAE.
On-chain data shows Solana treasuries now hold over $4B, and for the first time in history, Solana projects generate the majority of daily token buybacks across all chains. With the SEC also clearing the path for Solana spot ETFs, it’s clear the ecosystem is stepping into a whole new era of growth.
Institutional interest in #Solana continues to grow
According to the latest data, 16 entities are now collectively holding 15.83M $SOL (~$3.94B), accounting for 2.75% of the total supply. Out of this, 9.35M $SOL (~$2.32B) is staked with an average yield of 7.7%, reinforcing confidence in long-term ecosystem participation.
As capital inflows accelerate and major players accumulate $SOL, Solana’s position as a foundational blockchain asset continues to strengthen across institutional portfolios.

We’re seeing a clear wave of Solana accumulation from some of the biggest players in the space.
Forward Industries has kicked off its $1.6B Solana treasury with a 6.8M SOL purchase following their recent $1.65B raise. At the same time, Galaxy Digital has added over $1.1B worth of SOL, moving most of it to Coinbase Prime custody. And Helius, backed by Pantera Capital and Summer Capital, just announced over $500M in funding to launch a Solana treasury company.
These moves show how serious institutions are about positioning themselves in Solana, and it only strengthens our conviction that this ecosystem is where the future is being built.
Solana’s DeFi momentum continues to build and the numbers speak for themselves. Amid growing market activity and surging user engagement, Solana is proving it's not just a high-performance chain, but a serious contender in on-chain liquidity.
Based on the latest 30-day DEX volume data:
Solana has firmly secured its position as the second largest DEX chain, hitting $124.97B in trading volume just 1.7% behind Ethereum’s $127.08B. That’s a razor-thin gap considering how dominant Ethereum has historically been in DeFi.
To put it in perspective:
- @solana did more volume than @BNBCHAIN + @base combined
- It handled nearly 4x more than @arbitrum and 2x more than @BNBCHAIN
- It now accounts for ~25.2% of total #DEX volume among major chains
At this pace, #Solana continues to solidify its role as a core #DeFi hub, not just in terms of performance, but also in sustained real-world usage.
Solana keeps breaking records. The network’s DeFi TVL has surged to a new all-time high of $14.42B, showing the strongest growth in its history. In the past 24 hours, Solana has also overtaken Ethereum in fees generated, proving its unmatched user demand and activity.
We view these milestones as another clear sign that Solana is building unstoppable momentum and remains the right ecosystem to stand behind.
Solana continues to lead with unmatched throughput.
According to Token Terminal, Solana consistently processes 3,200 transactions per second, securing 2nd place among all Layer 1s. With a 41.4% market share of total L1 TPS and growing ecosystem activity, Solana isn’t just keeping up, it’s setting the pace for real-world performance at scale.
According to @CoinSharesCo, Solana digital asset products recorded $177M in inflows last week - the second highest among all assets.
That brings year-to-date flows to $1.24B, with total assets under management reaching a record $3.2B. @solana has now posted 12 consecutive weeks of inflows, as #ETFs, #ETPs, and funds continue increasing their $SOL exposure.

Solana is setting new records across its ecosystem.
The network’s TVL, including stablecoins, has climbed to an all-time high of around $34B, a 200 percent surge year-over-year. The value of tokenized real-world assets on Solana has crossed $500M, marking another major milestone. In August, monthly DEX volume reached over $144B, returning to levels last seen in May 2025. We see these results as clear proof of Solana’s growing dominance, and we stay confident in our long-term commitment to its ecosystem.
Solana’s Activity Surge: A Snapshot of Recent Milestones
The last week has been a showcase of how active and rapidly evolving the @solana ecosystem is proving again why it remains one of the most vibrant networks in crypto. Perps volume hit a record $43.9B in August, TVL is climbing toward new highs, and activity spans #DeFi, #AI, real-world use & public-sector adoption.
Here are just a few standout highlights:
The U.S. Commerce Department now distributing GDP data on-chain via @PythNetwork, including to Solana.
Solana TVL + stables hit ~$34B, up 200% YoY (@tokenterminal).
@Lombard_Finance brought its $1.5B LBTC asset to Solana DeFi.
@JupiterExchange launched Jupiter Lend with $750M+ in early deposits.
@defidevcorp rang the NASDAQ bell, a major milestone that highlights the growing influence of Solana focused investment strategies in the U.S. financial landscape.
@worldlibertyfi launched the #USD1 stablecoin on Solana.
Over the past 24 hours, Solana has led DEX trading volume with $5.08B, surpassing Ethereum at $3.25B and BSC at $2.20B. This gap indicates where traders and liquidity providers are most active right now.
At the same time, Circle minted an additional $750M USDC on Solana in just one day, adding even more liquidity to the network. We believe these results demonstrate that Solana is currently one of the most active and attractive ecosystems to watch.
We bought 659 $SOL for €120,000 at €182 per coin.
Our total holdings are now 15,564 SOL at an average price of €129.83. As of August 28, our position is valued at €2.83M with an unrealized gain of about 40%. This accumulation is backed by a €2M non-dilutive bond and reflects our long-term confidence in Solana’s ecosystem.
The move comes as $SOL breaks above $215 for the first time in six months, while total holdings by listed companies surpass $900M, up from ~$70M earlier this year. We are committed to leading this trend in the EU and will continue to strategically expand our position.
Stablecoin activity on Solana is booming and the numbers prove it.
According to DeFiLlama, Solana’s stablecoin market cap has climbed above $11 billion, matching levels not seen since before 2023. That’s up over 130% since early 2025. On top of that, Circle has minted nearly $25 billion in USDC on Solana this year, reinforcing the chain’s growing role in stable liquidity.
But it doesn’t stop there. Solana is processing over 200 million stablecoin transactions per month, up nearly tenfold since late 2023, with peer-to-peer transfers alone reaching $59 billion in January. This is real utility in action: massive liquidity, institutional pickup, and vibrant user behavior all happening in one place.
Solana is rapidly cementing itself as the leading blockchain infrastructure for AI. According to @BCG, it hosts over 800 AI agents with a combined market cap of $3B, the largest footprint across all chains. With a theoretical throughput of 65,000 TPS, Solana offers the scalability and speed required for AI-native protocols to operate efficiently and at scale.
This growing convergence between #AI and crypto is happening in real-time, and Solana is at the center of it. From decentralized agent marketplaces to autonomous VC funds, builders are choosing Solana not just for performance, but for its ecosystem, cost-efficiency, and developer-first design. The AI future isn’t coming. It’s already being deployed on #Solana.
Over the past three months, #Solana has maintained a clear lead in daily #DEX volume, even as #Ethereum sees renewed investor attention and significant capital inflows.
This performance speaks to more than just trading activity. It highlights Solana’s growing role as a high-performance foundation for both users and builders. With its unmatched speed, near-zero fees, and composable development environment, Solana is becoming the preferred execution layer not only for traders, but also for developers building next-generation #DeFi, consumer apps, and onchain infrastructure. While narratives shift, usage tells the real story and Solana continues to deliver at scale.
