Solana Outperforms Major Cryptos with 24% Gains Over Past Month

Solana has gained 24% over the past month, with potential for significant year-end growth, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan. Key points include:

  • Strong crypto returns have been linked to ETP inflows and corporate treasury purchases.
  • Seven major asset managers, including Bitwise and Grayscale, have filed for spot Solana ETPs, with SEC rulings expected by October 10.
  • Forward Industries raised $1.65 billion from crypto investors to buy and stake SOL, enhancing its revenue-generating potential.
  • Recent upgrades will reduce transaction finality time on Solana from 12 seconds to 150 milliseconds, with fees under a cent.
  • Solana ranks third in stablecoin liquidity and fourth in tokenized assets, with asset volume increasing by 140% this year.
  • With a market cap of $116 billion, smaller investments can significantly impact SOL compared to larger cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Hougan suggests investors monitor Solana closely.
