- Solana surged past $162 after SOL Strategies partnered with Superstate to explore launching SEC-registered tokenized shares on the Solana blockchain.
- The move could accelerate institutional adoption and potentially push SOL’s price toward the $250 mark.
Solana (SOL) has entered the spotlight once again, rallying over 10% to trade above $162 on Thursday—its highest level since March. The surge comes amid a broader market upswing driven by Bitcoin’s breakout past $100,000 and fresh macro optimism from Trump’s trade and foreign policy stances. But SOL’s latest price momentum has another catalyst: the potential launch of tokenized public equities on its blockchain.
Canada-based SOL Strategies (CSE: HODL) made headlines after signing a memorandum of understanding with Superstate to explore issuing SEC-registered public shares natively on the Solana blockchain. Superstate’s “Opening Bell” platform, tailored for compliant tokenized equity trading, could make SOL Strategies the first public company to tokenize common shares on Solana—ushering in a new era of regulated digital finance on the high-speed network.

“Publicly listed tokenized equity represents a natural evolution in capital markets,” said SOL Strategies CEO Leah Wald. “Solana’s high-performance network is the ideal foundation for that future.”
While still in early stages, the partnership could serve as a major milestone for institutional-grade adoption of the Solana blockchain. Real-time settlement, improved liquidity, and seamless DeFi integration are among the potential benefits of the initiative.
This development adds to Solana’s growing institutional narrative. Alongside the approval of Solana futures ETFs and several spot ETFs under SEC review, SOL is quickly becoming a credible platform for compliant financial innovation. If momentum continues, analysts speculate SOL could break the $200 mark in Q2—and possibly hit $250 by year-end.
Investor sentiment has been further buoyed by Trump’s call for a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and promises of aggressive rate cuts if reelected. These macro signals, coupled with booming interest in the $3.5 billion tokenized asset sector, are reinforcing the bullish case for Solana.
As regulatory clarity improves and infrastructure like Superstate’s Opening Bell gains traction, SOL’s price trajectory could be headed much higher—solidifying its place as a leading blockchain for institutional-grade finance.
