Top News:

Solana is maintaining bullish momentum to kick off the new week, trading near $108.40 after confirming a clean structural breakout above its multi-month descending trendline. Following a decisive close above the critical $103 resistance level, market sentiment has shifted noticeably into accumulation mode, with technical desks eyeing an open runway toward the $123–$132 channel and psychological targets near $147–$150.

The technical foundation of the network saw one of its most significant upgrades to date with the mainnet rollout of the Transaction V1 Format. Defined under SIMD-0296 and SIMD-0385, this major codebase change expands the maximum serialized transaction size from 1,232 bytes to 4,096 bytes (a 3.3x increase). The upgrade enables developers to package complex zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, multi-asset batch settlements, and cross-chain operations directly into single, atomic transactions—significantly reducing failed multi-hop transactions for DeFi users and advanced on-chain trading systems.

On the institutional side, corporate adoption is accelerating via corporate treasury strategies. Nasdaq-listed DeFi Development Corp. announced the successful completion of an $11 million financing round, with the majority of net proceeds earmarked for direct spot SOL purchases to strengthen its corporate treasury reserves. Although spot Solana ETF flows saw localized rebalancing last week, on-chain institutional metrics remain solid: Solana led all Layer-1 blockchains with over $229 million in 30-day Real-World Asset (RWA) net inflows, while daily active address creation maintained a steady baseline of 9.5 million new addresses.
