$1B Floods into Solana—Liquid Staking Sends SOL to the Moon?
Solana has just captured the crypto world’s attention with a $1 billion institutional raise and the debut of its first public liquid staking strategy — two moves that could reshape its future and send SOL prices soaring toward $300.
SOL Strategies Inc. Files Preliminary Base Shelf Prospectus USD $1B. Source: newsfilecorpOn May 28, Sol Strategies, a Canadian public company focused on the Solana ecosystem, filed a preliminary base shelf prospectus to raise up to $1 billion in securities. This massive war chest is designed to give the firm flexibility to increase its SOL holdings and deepen its role in the fast-growing Solana DeFi and validator networks.
CEO Leah Wald explained in a statement, “The filing of a base shelf prospectus supports our growth strategy by providing us with the flexibility to access capital as future opportunities arise in the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem”
There’s no immediate plan to raise all the capital, but the move signals to Wall Street and crypto markets alike that institutional players are gearing up for aggressive Solana expansion.
At the same time, DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV) made headlines as the first publicly traded company to adopt Solana-based liquid staking tokens (LSTs). The firm has partnered with Sanctum to launch dfdvSOL, a token that allows investors to stake SOL with DFDV’s validators while retaining liquidity for DeFi participation or redemption at any time
Parker White, DFDV’s CIO and COO, stated, “The adoption of dfdvSOL creates additional ways to drive stake to our validators and increase SOL holdings”.

The market’s reaction has been immediate and enthusiastic. DFDV’s recent $24 million private placement and its ongoing accumulation of Solana—now totaling over 609,000 SOL, worth about $105.8 million — underscore the scale of institutional commitment
Meanwhile, Sol Strategies’ $1 billion shelf prospectus dwarfs previous efforts and signals a new era of institutional-grade investment in the Solana ecosystem.
Crypto Twitter has been abuzz with these developments. Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) was among the first to break the news, posting:

Technical analysts are already linking this flood of institutional capital and DeFi innovation to bullish targets. If SOL can break above the $183–$210 resistance range, a rally toward $250–$300 is increasingly plausible, especially with open interest and funding rates signaling a potential short squeeze Some forecasts even suggest that if bullish momentum persists, SOL could reach new all-time highs.
The combination of a $1 billion institutional war chest and the rollout of public liquid staking marks a new era for Solana. With Wall Street’s backing and DeFi’s flexibility, SOL is now in the spotlight as a leading candidate for the next major crypto rally.
