Solana is having a moment. The total market cap of staking has already exceeded the market cap of Ethereum. We patched an important bug that led to infinite token minting, and now even Fidelity wants a spot Solana ETF. Interactive Brokers joins the fray of this emerging trend as it...
DeFi Development Corp (DFDV) is doing some pretty incredible stuff on Solana. They have already accumulated more than 609K $SOL and are making strategic moves to become Solana’s “top treasury company.” So you’ve purchased a validator operation. Further, you re-announced your mind-boggling $5 billion equity line of credit to buy...
NEAR Protocol is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about blockchains out there. Its extraordinary growth in monthly active users (MAU) has all the tech and marketing industries buzzing.
