Top News:

Solana is kicking off the week with strong bullish momentum, successfully reclaiming the $97 level as it eyes a major psychological breakout toward $100. The market is currently pricing in high expectations for this Wednesday’s Senate Banking Committee markup of the CLARITY Act, which many believe will solidify the legal framework for self-custody and developer protections.

Institutional demand continues to provide a solid floor for price action, as cumulative net inflows into SOL spot ETFs remain robust after recently surpassing the $1 billion milestone. On-chain activity is similarly surging; retail investors in the Turkish market are increasingly utilizing Solana’s high-speed rails for liquidity management. Furthermore, academic interest in the ecosystem is peaking, with students at Anadolu University actively exploring decentralized finance (DeFi) optimization through protocols like Trade Genius and Tempo Network following the completion of April’s snapshot season.
