SOL News: DeFi Development Corp’s $1B Filing Could Boost Solana Price

Today, the SOL news has been mixed with some positive developments and some negative ones. As one of the most important Solana news stories, the DeFi Development Corporation’s request for a $1 billion shelf offering. The success of this Solana-focused company in getting the approval for this request could affect the SOL price. Another positive news is a recent report about a multi-million dollar investment in Solana. Although this news is bullish, there are also some bearish pieces. One such development is the large SOL deposits some investors are making to exchanges.

Can DeFi Development Corp’s Strategy Drive a New Rally?

The Solana-focused DeFi Development Corporation’s $1 billion filing with the SEC could lead to an increase in the SOL price. In this scenario, the US Securities and Exchange Commission approves this request. Then, the DeFi Development Corp could use these funds to purchase SOL as a reserve. This public company has recently invested in Solana, which suggests that another big investment is coming. Based on this company’s filings, if approved, it can start selling securities cumulatively rather than selling to retail buyers in the market. There are many different assets called securities, including common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and debt instruments.

Based on the DeFi Development Corp’s focus on Solana, it could invest and fix its value in SOL. With this method, investors would be directly investing in SOL. Such a move has been made by some other investment firm, Galaxy Digital, which has invested in Solana. This firm has also been stacking these coins, which is a way to profit from the reserves. Another way to profit from such investments is to hold as the SOL price goes up. Based on this SOL news, the DDC has only raised $34.4 million in Solana till now. 

Why Are SOL Token Deposits Increasing on Exchanges

In technical SOL news, there is an increase in token deposits in exchanges. Notably, based on the market data from the Lookonchain official X page, the Kraken exchange has received a significant amount of tokens. This deposit came from Pumpfun and was around 117,913 SOL tokens. With the current SOL price, this would be around $18,26 million in value. 

Pumpfun(@pumpdotfun) deposited 117,913 $SOL($18.26M) to #Kraken again in the past 2 hours.

So far, #Pumpfun has deposited 3,097,265 $SOL($575M) to #Kraken at $186 and sold 264,373 $SOL for 41.64M $USDC at $158.https://t.co/LwqXbrs7oc pic.twitter.com/gVUgW9E5T3

There is also another positive Solana news story that involves the entity SOL Strategies, an important name in the SOL market. Based on the SOL news, the company is offering a $500 million funding agreement regarding Solana stacking. With this, there are institutional projections for the future of the market that involve an increase in the Solana price. With forms like DDC and Sol strategies setting a positive precedent, there could soon be more such companies looking to collaborate with and invest in Solana. 

Is Solana Entering a New Consolidation Phase?

Today, the Solana price has followed the rest of the cryptocurrency market and has entered a consolidation period. This comes after the market also pushed this coin from the $120 level to a peak of $155. After this peak, the market lost momentum, and SOL also pulled back to $150 after the end of the rally. The candlestick patterns also point to a decrease in momentum, as it is shown, smaller candles, which indicate lower trade volume. The number of red and green candles seems to be close to the same, showing the market’s neutral state.

As per the SOL/USD daily chart, the RSI is close to 42, which is just below the neutral zone and in the bearish range. The RSI signal line is standing near 48, creating a bearish crossover with the RSI line. This shows the fading buy pressure and the increasing selling pressure. The ADX indicator also shows a moderately weak trend as it has slipped below 20 and is at 17. 

Could Today’s Positive Solana News Trigger a Price Surge?

With today’s Solana news being mostly positive, there is the possibility of a price surge caused by internal catalysts. The significant deposit of SOLs on Kraken and their possible sale can cause serious selling pressure. There is another variable that has caused the recent surges as well: Donald Trump’s financial policies and his crypto influence.
