It’s been a great start to the month, price action aside. 

Here’s why: 

Fresh buzz from Solana news hub @SolanaFloor highlights the following:

Companies are stacking SOL like candy. Nasdaq-listed @defidevcorp (DFDv) just announced plans to raise up to $65 million through special stock sales-all to buy more SOL and cover costs. 

They already hold 2.196 million SOL, worth about $352 million. That’s huge for Solana–more big players locking in long-term. 

Another win: @UpexiTreasuey, a Solana-focused firm, reported a record $6.1 million in digital money earnings for their first quarter of 2026. That’s up big from last year’s loss, with $66.7 million total profit. They own over 2 million SOL, valued at $323 million–proof Solana’s paying off for businesses. 

The weekly update also added more: Guides to snag free $SKR tokens from Solana Seeker’s airdrop, and the expectation for prices to rise as U.S government shutdown ends. Ore supply also hit $1 million daily revenues couple of days ago, with Hylo, which has been shared in one of our previous posts, reaching $100 million TVL with a safe stable coin. 

Other Updates 

ICM.RUN spotlighted a new project just yesterday, called Empulser Tech as their second ever incubated project. 

Pump.fun (@pumpdotfun) is the fun, meme-focused launchpad—no big updates this week, but it’s still the spot for quick, silly coin ideas that go viral.

Drift Protocol (@DriftProtocol), used for advanced bets on coin prices, added Titan’s easy swap tool—allowing people to grab badges for first $100 trades. 

Last month, 3,600 traders shared 272 $DRIFT rewards; November’s pot is 1M $DRIFT for BTC/ETH/SOL plays. 

Revenue sharing is the pudding right now: Solana’s apps have 17M+ users, sending fees back to holders—like staking rewards or buybacks. 

All in all, another day out in the field for Solana.
