Solana Price Jumps 22% After Trump Announces Crypto Strategic Reserve

Solana’s price soared 22% after Trump announced plans for a U.S. Crypto Reserve, boosting investor confidence in digital assets.

Solana (SOL) experienced a whopping 22% price growth to $172.38 after a prominent statement by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump revealed that he would include Solana, XRP, and Cardano in a new Crypto Strategic Reserve designed to support the U.S. crypto market. Trump’s statement was a clear rejection of the Biden administration policies, which he claimed were hindering the pace of growth within the digital asset market. Trump’s statement, “I will see to it the U.S. becomes the Crypto Capital of the World,” charged up crypto investors.

Solana’s market cap is currently at $87.5 billion, a 23.63% gain in 24 hours. Its trading volume was up 134.07% to $8.79 billion, showing massive trading volume. Solana has a circulating supply of 507.59 million SOL, with its fully diluted value well over $103 billion. The other cryptocurrencies were also lifted by the news, as Cardano (ADA) was up 70%, XRP 31%, and Bitcoin (BTC) at 5.5%. Experts forecast that this new policy change may promote institutional adoption, paving the way for long-term cryptocurrency growth.

Solana Drops Under $160 Amid FTX Unlock Fears – More Selling Ahead?

Solana (SOL) dropped below $160 as FTX’s upcoming token unlock sparks fears of a sell-off, with investors bracing for impact.



Solana (SOL) just slipped under $160, and things aren’t looking great. The crypto tanked over 8% on Feb 24, hitting $148.46—its lowest price this year. Even now, it hasn’t fully bounced back, trading around $156.

The big worry? A massive 11.2 million SOL token unlock from FTX on March 1. That’s $1.77 billion worth of SOL potentially flooding the market. If too many tokens get dumped at once, prices could take another hit, making investors even more nervous.

Solana’s been struggling lately. It’s down 35% this month and lost 13% just last week. Its market cap shrank by $10 billion, now at $78 billion. Even trading on Solana’s DEXs has dropped by 37%, showing that investors are stepping back.

Whales are shorting SOL also. In the past week, put options (which pay off more if prices drop) constituted 25% of all transactions in Solana derivatives. In other words, whales expect continued losses.

Next? If unlocked tokens pour on the market, SOL can only go lower. But if buying is robust, then all this may calm down. Either or, everyone anxiously awaits March 1.

Whale Withdraws $20.8M in SOL from Binance—Is a Price Surge Incoming?

A crypto whale moved $20.8M in SOL from Binance, sparking speculation. Traders are betting on $162.8 as strong support.


A crypto whale just made a major move, pulling 123,500 SOL (worth $20.8M) out of Binance, according to Lookonchain. Big transfers like this usually hint at accumulation, but so far, Solana’s price hasn’t popped—it’s still chilling around $172.

Solana recently dipped below its $180 support and is now under the 200 EMA, signaling a bearish trend. Right now, SOL is hovering between $160 and $180, and unless it breaks past $190, it might stay stuck. If it drops below $160, we could see another 20% crash to $120.

But not all are bearish. Data from Coinglass shows that traders have stacked $145M worth of long positions above $162.8, indicating that they are confident this level will resist. In the event that enough buyers come in, SOL could bounce back.

It’s a waiting game for now—will the whale’s shift trigger a rally, or do we have more dips ahead? Solana traders are crossing their fingers.

Canary’s Solana ETF Advances in SEC Review Process

Canary just filed for a Solana ETF, following Grayscale. SEC is reviewing, and a decision could shape future altcoin ETFs.

Canary Capital is making moves in the crypto space by officially filing for a Solana (SOL) exchange-traded fund (ETF), following Grayscale’s similar filing last week. This marks a step forward in bringing Solana into mainstream finance, with the SEC now reviewing the “Canary Solana Trust.”

The SEC has opened a 21-day public comment period, giving the public a chance to weigh in. After that, they’ll decide whether to approve, deny, or extend the decision. A lot of crypto experts are hopeful that Solana and other altcoins will get their own ETFs this year, but no one’s sure exactly when that will happen or in what order. The vibe under the SEC’s new leadership seems more open to crypto compared to when Gary Gensler was in charge.

If Canary’s ETF gets the green light, it’ll make it easier for traditional investors to buy Solana the same way they buy Bitcoin through ETFs. Grayscale’s Solana ETF is a bit ahead in the process, and its outcome could give us a glimpse of how the SEC might handle Canary’s application. It’s an exciting time for Solana and altcoins in the finance world!

Jupiter DEX on Solana Secures Majority Ownership of Moonshot

Jupiter DEX bought Moonshot, a viral crypto app for memecoins like “TRUMP,” while burning tokens and boosting JUP prices—big hype for Solana DeFi!

Solana’s top DeFi player, Jupiter DEX, just made waves by snagging a majority stake in Moonshot, the self-custody app that lets you snag memecoins like a pro—yes, even with Apple Pay. The tea? Moonshot went viral after Donald Trump’s “TRUMP” token dropped on Jan 18, skyrocketing to the #1 spot in the U.S. App Store’s finance category. With nearly $400M in trading volume and a whopping 1M daily users by Jan 20, it’s safe to say Moonshot is a vibe.

Jupiter’s move isn’t just about flexing. Announced by their founder “Meow” (yes, really) at Catstanbul, Turkey’s first-ever Jupiter community event, this acquisition levels up the Solana DeFi game big time. They’re not stopping there, though. Jupiter also dropped another banger—burning $3B worth of JUP tokens and pledging 50% of trading fee income to buy back JUP. Naturally, this sent JUP’s price skyrocketing to $1.27, and the community is hyped.

This comes hot off their recent airdrop of 700K JUP tokens to 2M+ users. Jupiter and Moonshot are clearly out here trying to make Solana DeFi the main character, and honestly? It’s working. Big moves, big energy—Solana’s DeFi space is thriving!

Trump Coin Skyrockets Over 110%, Now Available on Binance and CoinSwitch

$TRUMP token, hyped as Trump’s official meme coin, surged 110% post-Binance listing, hitting $14B market cap, sparking crypto chaos.



The $TRUMP token, hyped as the “official Trump meme coin,” is straight-up breaking the internet after a wild 110% price surge in just 24 hours! Built on Solana, this memecoin’s debut on Binance and CoinSwitch has sent crypto traders into a full-blown frenzy. With its trading pairs TRUMP/USDC and TRUMP/USDT going live on this January, the token is already making serious waves, even as the world preps for Donald Trump’s swearing-in as U.S. president.

But it was just after two days, when $TRUMP outdid the big-name memecoins $DOGE, $SHIB, and $PEPE by reaching an unbelievable $14B market capitalization with a 24-hour trading volume of $20.92B. This token even reached an insane price of $70.02 after jumping 224.83% in one day.

Binance, while vibing with the hype, has flagged $TRUMP as “extremely high-risk” and given it a “Seed Tag”, mandating every trader to go through obligatory risk quizzes. Meanwhile, the exchange is rolling out Spot Algo Orders, bots, and copy trading, giving users newer ways to ride the chaos.

Move Over SOL: The Ripple vs Ethereum Battle Heats Up in 2025

XRP surged 470%, hitting $3 as hype grows over RLUSD and potential XRP ETF, challenging Ethereum’s market dominance in 2025.



Ripple’s XRP has been on fire in 2025, skyrocketing over 470% from its yearly lows. On January 16, XRP smashed past the $3 mark for the first time since 2018, thanks to a mix of market recovery, solid developments, and investor hype.

With the rebound of Bitcoin, XRP steals the show with its high popularity among investors. The launch of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin and rumors of an approved XRP ETF sent market sentiment to the moon. Little surprise that the price of XRP shattered the all-time high this month, which turned heads from across the crypto world.

Meanwhile, Ethereum is struggling to keep up. ETH’s market dominance (currently at 11.67%) is being questioned as it’s barely grown 29% this year, despite Bitcoin’s recent gains. Ethereum’s network activity has slowed, leaving room for Ripple to shine.

XRP’s market cap is at $189 billion, still far from Ethereum’s $412 billion. For Ripple to overtake ETH, its price needs to hit $7.5—ambitious but not impossible.

Crypto analysts are buzzing about Ripple’s potential to become the second-largest blockchain. With more investors jumping in and new accounts spiking, XRP is clearly on a mission. Will Ripple dethrone Ethereum? Well time will tell that story!

User Faces $208k Fee for Solana Transaction Shocker

A Solana user paid a wild $208k fee by mistake, showing how blockchain errors can cost big time. Double-check, folks!



A Solana user recently paid a jaw-dropping $208,692 fee (1,068 SOL) for a transfer of just $95k worth of assets. Ouch! The transaction took place on 8th of jan this year, where 495.5 SOL (around $94,837) was sent from one wallet to another. But the kicker? The transaction fee was a whopping 1,068 SOL, with most of it being a priority fee.

Solana’s best known for its low fees, usually around $0.00025 per transaction. This means its definitely an outlier. The massive fee likely happened because the user selected an insanely high priority fee, thinking it would speed up the process. But with Solana’s high throughput, most transactions get confirmed fast without that extra push.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen crazy blockchain fee mistakes. About a decade ago, a Bitcoin user accidentally paid 291 BTC (about $137k at the time), and in the pandemic era, an Ethereum transaction had a 10,668 ETH fee ($2.6 million).

Moral of the story: always double-check your transaction details! Blockchain transactions are irreversible, and mistakes can be expensive. This incident shows why user education and smarter transaction systems are a must for the crypto world. Stay safe out there!

This has been a major catalyst in intensifying pressure on Solana’s price. A blockchain analytics platform named Lookonchain revealed the transaction to the general public, noting that the tokens were transferred to Kraken in a single move.
