Solana Foundation Launches Program Tailored for Institutional Traders

3 min read
  • Solana Foundation launched an institutional trading program offering VIP access, FIX market data, tools, and DeFi yield paths.
  • Analyst said Jan 30 hit 148 million non-vote tx as the week neared 1 billion tx and averaged 1,505 non-vote TPS.

The Solana Foundation has introduced a new trading-focused initiative aimed at institutional participants on the network. Known as “Trade on Solana,” the new program is an on-ramp for professional trading firms that want Solana-specific market access, data, and operational support.

Materials published for the launch describe five components. The program includes an invite-only VIP trading track with access to liquidity and incentives, and it offers market data designed for high-frequency trading, with FIX protocol support. It also provides trading tools intended to improve visibility into the transaction lifecycle and support execution routing.

In addition, the Solana Foundation says participants can receive introductions to relevant Solana protocols, infrastructure providers, and tooling. The materials also mention access to passive yield opportunities across the network’s DeFi protocols. The program website includes a waitlist sign-up and provides a contact email for inquiries.

Solana Network Activity Metrics Surge

The rollout arrived after a period of elevated onchain activity that was widely discussed on social media. In a post on X, user Vibhu cited two milestones tied to the prior week’s market volatility. The post said January 30, 2026, marked the highest-activity day on record for the network, with 148 million non-vote transactions recorded that day.

The post also stated that the week in question became the network’s largest by total activity, with “almost 1 billion” transactions processed across the network. It also reported an average of 1,505 non-vote transactions per second over that span. Solana‘s main account on X also referenced the January 30 single-day figure in related social posts, repeating the 148 million non-vote transaction claim.

The Foundation’s announcement frames the new program around the operational needs of professional firms, including market makers and other liquidity providers, as well as trading organizations coming from traditional finance or other crypto venues. It emphasizes access pathways, standardized market data interfaces, and execution tooling meant to help institutions interpret transactions on the network.

Additionally, Polymarket is set to expand to the network through a Jupiter integration that will place prediction markets inside Jupiter’s onchain trading interface. As we reported, the deal also includes ParaFi investing $35 million in JUP via JupUSD at spot price, with an extended lockup to support Jupiter’s buildout.

At reporting time, SOL was trading at $104, up 2.85% over the past 24 hours. The move pushed the token back above the $100 level after earlier intraday swings.

Trump Owns $870 Million Bitcoin Amid Crypto Market Meltdown

Trump Owns $870 Million Bitcoin Amid Crypto Market Meltdown

The post Trump Owns $870 Million Bitcoin Amid Crypto Market Meltdown appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. President Donald Trump has quietly become one of the world’s largest Bitcoin (BTC) holders, even as the crypto market faces a historic meltdown. The revelation comes as Bitcoin and the broader crypto market struggle through one of their steepest declines in recent years. Trump Media’s $2 Billion Bitcoin Bet Makes President A Major Investors According to a Forbes report, Trump’s indirect Bitcoin exposure is now valued at around $870 million, placing him among the biggest investors in the digital asset space. Despite the crash, Trump’s holdings remain strong, showing his business’ growing ties to the crypto market. Forbes found that Trump’s holdings are not listed in any official government filings or financial disclosures. Instead, his exposure comes through his 41% stake in Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social. Earlier this year, Trump Media raised $2.3 billion through debt and stock sales, using most of the proceeds to buy $2 billion worth of Bitcoin. The move aligns with MicroStrategy’s renewed interest in buying Bitcoin after not buying any last week. That move gave Trump a massive indirect stake in the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Trump Media’s Bitcoin Strategy Shows Trump’s Shift From Crypto Disbelief When the company chose to start holding BTC on its balance sheet, it represented a radical turning point from just being a social media company. Through the adoption of the same corporate treasury technique popularized by Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc., Trump Media has become a U.S. company holding large amounts of Bitcoin. This shift mirrors the growing wave of institutional adoption. Recently, trillion-dollar asset manager Morgan Stanley opened crypto investments to all its wealth clients. According to Forbes, the company’s overall evaluation has fallen since its Bitcoin purchase. However, its Bitcoin reserves now make up the strongest part of its balance sheet. Trump’s…
