The Solana price rally could soon accelerate, driven by new institutional moves. DeFi Development Corp. (DDC) recently filed a $1 billion shelf offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), hinting at a major influx of funds.

DeFi Development Corp. Bets Big on Solana

DeFi Development Corp., formerly known as Janover Inc., is shifting its focus towards Solana. The company’s $1 billion shelf offering allows it to issue various securities like common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and debt instruments over time.

Unlike a single issuance, a shelf offering lets DDC raise capital gradually. This flexibility may lead to continuous investments into Solana, especially as institutional appetite for SOL tokens grows.

Notably, DDC has already invested heavily, raising about $34.4 million in SOL to support future acquisitions. This mirrors strategies from companies like Galaxy Digital, which also back Solana and use staking to earn income.

Solana Price Outlook: Bullish Signs Ahead

With institutional players stepping up, Solana’s price is gaining serious attention. Market analysis shows a strong bullish trend emerging.

On the technical side, Solana is trading above the middle line of the Bollinger Bands, a classic indicator of bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the MACD indicator has issued a buy signal, reinforcing the case for more upside.

If demand continues to rise, analysts believe Solana could soon test the $200 resistance. Sustained buying pressure might push it even higher in the coming weeks.

Rising Institutional Activity in the Solana Ecosystem

The Solana ecosystem itself is buzzing. Major transfers, such as a 117,913 SOL ($18.26 million) deposit to Kraken by Pumpfun, suggest heightened market activity.

In addition, Sol Strategies recently secured a $500 million funding deal for Solana staking initiatives. This partnership, alongside DDC’s aggressive investment plans, signals that institutional confidence in Solana is growing fast.

As these collaborations deepen, many expect Solana’s price rally to continue building momentum through 2025.
