Why Solana Is Surging Today

Starting from Friday at 4 p.m., the value of Solana (SOL) has increased by almost 10%. As I type this at 11:09 a.m. ET today, the surge continues. Although there’s no clear cause for this spike, several possible factors might be influencing it.

Institutional interest picking up

Over the past week, the U.S. House of Representatives supported three bills concerning cryptocurrency that investors find optimistic for the industry as a whole. Two of these bills aim to establish guidelines for stablecoins and digital assets. Notably, President Donald Trump has already signed into law one of these bills, known as the Genius Act, which pertains to stablecoins, following its approval by both the House and Senate.

It has additionally been observed that there’s an increasing enthusiasm for Solana from institutional investors. Based on data from CoinShares’ digital fund flows, approximately $39 million was invested in financial products tied to Solana last week. Moreover, CoinShares predicts that the total inflows for this year amount to a substantial $245 million.
