##Introduction
The <a href="/ja/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">cryptocurrency market</a> has never lacked trends or hot topics. From <a href="/ja/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> (BTC) to <a href="/ja/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> (ETH), NFTs to Metaverse, every new wave has triggered a ripple effect in the capital ecosystem. Today, <a href="/ja/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a> (SOL), another rising star in the crypto arena, seems poised to follow <a href="/ja/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a>'s footsteps, becoming a favorite of institutional investors. With large amounts of traditional capital pouring into the <a href="/ja/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a> ecosystem, multiple corporations and institutions are racing to build positions in SOL. Is this the signal of Solana’s moment to shine?

##The Expanding Cohort of "SOL Versions of MicroStrategy"
In 2020, U.S.-listed company MicroStrategy became a benchmark after significantly investing in Bitcoin, sparking a trend where traditional enterprises allocated large positions in cryptocurrency to their balance sheets. Now, this trend is reappearing through another lens—Solana. Increasingly, companies from traditional sectors and traditional capital circles are aggressively turning their interest towards Solana.

A notable example is SOL Strategies Inc. (formerly Cypherpunk Holdings), listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, which recently announced securing up to USD $500 million in convertible note financing from ATW Partners. These funds are solely devoted to purchasing SOL tokens and running validator node operations. This business model strongly resembles MicroStrategy’s BTC accumulation strategy, effectively creating a direct bridge between traditional investors and the Solana ecosystem via a listed company's structure.

Another case is fintech company Janover Inc., headquartered in Florida, which has even changed its name to DeFi Development Corporation and announced a major increase in its Solana holdings, holding over 310,000 SOL tokens. This substantial display from traditional enterprise capital clearly illustrates robust confidence in and firm strides toward Solana investment.

##Capital Players Actively Participating in Ecosystem Development
Traditional capitals are not just passively holding SOL tokens; rather, they actively engage in ecosystem development, seeking deeper integration and influence within the Solana network.

Take SOL Strategies Inc. as an example once more: beyond simply acquiring tokens, the company operates its own high-performance Solana validator nodes, generating not only staking yields but also gaining governance and influence within the ecosystem itself. By Q1 2025, SOL Strategies’ total amount of SOL staked reached over 1.65 million tokens, prompted by remarkably lucrative annual staking returns. Such strategies are analogous to BTC miners actively acquiring mining equipment to increase their BTC holdings. It signals that institutional investments in Solana in the future will not be limited merely to holding tokens, but will involve more substantial, proactive ecosystem participation.

Sol Global Investments is another traditional Canadian-listed investment player actively involved in the Solana ecosystem. They have not only significantly increased their SOL token holdings, but also invested in star DeFi protocols and NFT projects within the Solana ecosystem, strategically anchoring their value and long-term growth potential onto ecosystem innovations. Their combined approach of "ecosystem + tokens" serves as a promising reference model for traditional investors seeking a deeper foothold into Solana.

##Market Signals and Value Prospects Under the New Trend
The intensive focus from traditional capital on Solana begs an important question: what market signals does this phenomenon reveal? Recent approval in Canada for a staking-based SOL ETF has significantly boosted market sentiment, considerably expanding both the imagination space and duration window for capital entry into the Solana ecosystem.

This enthusiasm from capital markets is clearly reflected in actual stock returns when companies announce their Solana strategy pivots. For instance, U.S. Nasdaq-listed consumer goods firm Upexi Inc. experienced a staggering one-day stock surge of 659.91% after publicly announcing its strategic pivot and intention to invest heavily in Solana. It clearly indicates traditional capital’s strong bullish sentiment and confidence towards Solana’s future.

Essentially, whether the <a href="/ja/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">SOL price</a> can continually rise depends fundamentally on sustainable optimization, activity, and growth within its ecosystem. The aggressive allocation by institutions such as SOL Strategies and DeFi Development Corporation toward Solana, shifting from existing Bitcoin holdings to ascending SOL, highlights a subtle repositioning by institutions in the risk-reward profiles of different crypto-assets. Consequently, Solana might become a major institutional portfolio bet following Bitcoin in the years to come.

From Bitcoin to Solana, traditional capital markets always eagerly look for the next opportunity for massive value-generation and ecosystem breakthroughs. With consistent capital inflows, the Solana ecosystem is now standing on the threshold of unprecedented growth. Whether Solana can truly emerge as the "next Bitcoin," the market is already casting its vote with genuine stakes. The unfolding of this scenario represents both opportunity and challenge—let’s wait and watch how the market performs.
