The Solana ecosystem welcomes multiple favourable information

In the past week, the Solana blockchain ecosystem has welcomed several positive developments. Nasdaq submitted an 8-K form to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) planning to expand its cryptocurrency index benchmark to nine digital assets, including Solana's native token SOL. This move marks Solana's further integration into the traditional financial markets, providing institutional investors with more avenues for participation.

The Solana ETF has also made significant progress. The SEC has requested that the issuer of the Solana ETF submit a revised S-1 form within a week, which is seen as a positive signal for the approval of the Solana spot ETF. Market analysts have significantly increased the probability of the approval of the Solana spot ETF, reflecting the market's optimistic outlook on regulatory prospects.

Another noteworthy development is that a Nasdaq-listed company has announced a $5 billion equity financing limit, aimed at accelerating the accumulation of SOL. This strategic investment highlights institutional investors' confidence in the long-term value of Solana.

In addition to the dual Favourable Information at the capital and policy levels, the construction of the Solana ecosystem is also continuously advancing. A new hybrid decentralized exchange (DEX) has announced that it will launch on the Solana chain, combining the liquidity of centralized exchanges with the transparency of decentralized finance, bringing innovation to on-chain asset liquidity.
