Galaxy Digital’s Bullish Bet on Solana
Galaxy Digital’s SOL withdrawal aligns with the Mike Novogratz-led firm’s deepening ties to the Solana ecosystem.
The firm, alongside Jump Crypto and Multicoin Capital, announced a $1.65 billion PIPE financing for Forward Industries, marking the largest Solana-focused treasury raise to date.
Forward Industries aims to establish itself as a publicly traded institutional powerhouse within Solana’s growing network.
The strategy includes generating on-chain returns and boosting shareholder value by actively engaging in Solana’s DeFi markets.
Solana DeFi Hits Record TVL
According to DefiLlama, Solana’s DeFi TVL has surged to $12.35 billion, up 1.8% from the previous day and marking an all-time high in dollar terms.
Stablecoin market capitalization on the network stands at $12.77 billion, while on-chain fees generated $1.24 million in the past 24 hours.

While TVL in USD terms is at record levels, the network has yet to reclaim its SOL-denominated ATH of 68.13M SOL from June 2022. Back then, SOL was priced near $30, compared to today’s significantly higher valuations.
Meanwhile, Solana’s market capitalization sits at $118.6 billion, with the token just 4% away from breaking its historical all-time high valuation. Yet prices still sit at a 25% discount from the ATH of $294.
Jupiter Drives Growth
As per SolanaFloor, a major driver of this growth has been the launch of Jupiter Lend, which has already amassed over $600 million in TVL within two weeks, lifting Jupiter’s overall protocol TVL to $3.38 billion.
Jupiter is now ranked among the top Solana DeFi protocols, outperforming rivals with a 25.2% TVL increase over the past month.
SOL Price Analysis: Approaching a Critical Level
Solana is trading at $220.25, consolidating near the upper boundary of a rising wedge pattern. After a strong recovery from its March lows near $120, SOL has steadily climbed within this structure, pressing against key resistance.
A decisive breakout above the $225-$230 resistance zone could trigger continuation toward the $260-$280 range, with psychological resistance near $300 also in play.

However, failure to break higher could see SOL retracing to support levels around $195-$200, with deeper downside risks toward $175 if selling pressure intensifies.
Between Galaxy Digital’s $40 million SOL withdrawal, institutional backing of $1.65 billion, and a record-breaking $12.35 billion TVL milestone, SOL could very well be the next crypto to explode in 2025.
