According to @AltcoinGordon, Solana has seen significant institutional investments with DeFi Development Corp adding 82,000 SOL, bringing its total holdings to over 400,000 SOL (worth more than $57 million), specifically for staking and yield generation (source: AltcoinGordon on Twitter, May 7, 2025). Additionally, Strategies has secured 122,524 SOL for $18.25 million through new financing. This surge in institutional activity signals increased long-term confidence and potential upward price pressure for SOL, which could impact broader crypto market sentiment and trading strategies.
