The Rising SOL Ecosystem

According to data from DefiLlama, Solana’s DeFi total value locked increased by 1.2% in 24 hours, reaching $8.7 billion.
Jito, a liquid staking protocol, is leading the layer-1 network’s DeFi ecosystem with a TVL of $2.7 billion.
Moreover, the first-of-its-kind US-based spot SOL ETF by REX Financial and Osprey Funds, known as SOL and Staking ETF (SSK), has been accumulating constant inflows.
According to data from Farside Investors, the SSK fund recorded a net inflow of $41.2 million since its launch on July 2.
On July 7, the US Securities and Exchange Commission asked the Solana ETF applicants to resubmit their filings by the end of July. The agency’s request hints at the potential early approval of SOL-based investment products.
