So, it’s Halloween morning, and while kids hunted for candy, the crypto crowd on Solana was chasing something sweeter – a golden ticket to Wall Street. 

The blockchain that runs like a sports car just rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange, with founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal grinning alongside Bitwise execs. Their short video, “Hello Wall St,” hit like a spark, showing off Solana’s zippy upgrades for trades ten times faster than before. 

There was something about the sweet nostalgic and yet upbeat video that sparked the hope and promise of so much good news and growth to come in the following months. Like being a genuine part of history in a small way. 

Overnight, $69.5 million poured into Bitwise’s new BSOL fund on its first day, outpacing the competition. Grayscale flipped the switch on its GSOL the next day, pushing total inflows past $155 million and assets to $440 million. 

Hong Kong greenlit its own Solana fund a few days ago and whispers from Western Union point to a steady-dollar setup rolling out next year for quick global sends. 

The vibe has been electric, and that’s putting it mildly. 

Traders and builders aren’t just watching – they’re leaning in. 

Influencers like Scott Melker break it down: Wall Street loves Solana for its quick bets, easy token builds, and fat yields that draw in sharper players. 

Galaxy Research dubs it the next big rail for finance, smooth and scalable. 

On X, the chatter hums with $250 price calls by week’s end, maybe $1,000 down the road, asking for a show of faith in treating any dips as smart buys from pros. Sure, a few have flagged upcoming token unlocks as speed bumps, but the chorus? 

This is Solana’s moment – fast, fair, and finally getting the nod from the suits.

Into this glow steps ICM.RUN, the no-nonsense hub for turning ideas into funded projects without the old-school gatekeepers. 

They’re all in on the rush, blasting “Accelerate ICMs onchain!” right after Solana’s bell-ringing clip. 

It’s like they’re revving engines for a race nobody saw coming but is finally here all the same, you know? 

Not far behind, Pump.fun keeps the meme magic alive, that cheeky spot where wild ideas launch in seconds. They shrugged off a “blessing” hype with “speak for yourself” and a sly pic, then memed the NYSE moment: “We’re still open” amid the bell drama. 

BitDealer chimed in with straight talk, sorting token mix-ups before they snag anyone. Their Kaito rewards? Ten percent of the BIT supply, doled out five percent yearly over two years, with one percent free at kickoff for the buzz. 

Early access is wide open, teasing asset-backed memes ready to roll.

Now, flipping to the bots making trades feel like a pocket game, 

SolCypher kicked off the spooky day with a “trick or trade” robot clip, then chuckled at Solana’s Jim Cramer jab. 

Founders teased an Abu Dhabi trip in December – “You can catch our founders @kasterkeqi @josephsolcypher” – and echoed the Wall Street win: “Solana Capital Markets. 

Drift Protocol, the DeFi workhorse for price bets, mirrored the energy: “Capital Markets, The Internet is coming” on the NYSE echo. 

They flipped to “SOLANA MODE” for a morning cheer, like a trading deep-dive from TheWhiteWhaleV2, and drop a yield nudge: “checks yield gud yield” with a borrow-lend link at app.drift.trade/earn. 

It wrapped casual – “good morning” – but the undercurrent takeaway? Tools like this are the quiet engines, scanning fast, stacking gains as big money flows in.

As the sun sets on October 31, here are a few hard and undeniable truths as sure as the setting and rising of the sun: Solana isn’t just another chain – it’s the one rewriting the rules, blending street-smart launches with Wall Street polish. 

This is it: we’re in the gates.
