Solana price action remains firm near $150, backed by increasing institutional interest and strategic investments positioning SOL for a major breakout.
Solana (SOL) Holds $150 Support as Bulls Eye More Upside
Solana entered the final weekend of April trading in a tight range but managed to maintain its critical $150 support level.
As of Sunday, April 27, SOL traded between $145.97 and $150.04, before settling at $149.98, at press time with a mild 0.6% daily gain.
According to Coingecko, SOL price currently posts 9.9% gain over the last seven days and a 14% rally over the past month, outperforming both Bitcoin and Ethereum on the weekly timeframe.
Market capitalization currently stands near $68 billion, securing Solana’s position as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by total market value.
Trading volumes have remained steady above $2.2 billion, suggesting steady demand despite cautious market sentiment at the weekend.
Solana’s year-to-date gain sits at 15.8%, bolstered by a combination of faster network adoption, positive SOL ETF speculation, and the rapid expansion of decentralized finance (DeFi) projects on its blockchain.
The sustained defense of the $150 level signals that bulls are preparing for another leg higher. A clean breakout above $155 could open the door toward new peaks above $250 as Q2 2025 unflods.
DeFi Development Company Files $1 Billion Shelf Offering to Fuel Solana Investments
Even as Solana struggles to firmly clear the $150 resistance zone, fundamental news flow continues to paint a highly bullish picture.
On Friday, the DeFi Development Company (formerly Janover), trading under the ticker JNVR, filed a $1 billion shelf offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The move allows the company to issue equity, debt, or other instruments over time to fund strategic investments, notably including Solana asset accumulation and validator expansion.
Shelf offerings allow companies to register large amounts of securities upfront without selling them all immediately, giving DeFi Development Company flexibility to scale its Solana exposure when market conditions are favorable.
“We may sell any combination of these securities in one or more offerings, at prices and on terms to be determined prior to the time of the offering, with an aggregate offering price of up to $1,000,000,000,”

DeFi Development Company’s (DDC) transition toward a Solana-focused investment vehicle mirrors Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin strategy but with important differences.
Beyond simply acquiring SOL, DDC and peers like Canada-based Sol Strategies and Upexi are also spinning up validators, actively staking their holdings, and turning Solana into a yield-generating treasury asset.
This move could significantly tighten SOL supply available to be traded on exchanges and amplifying price rallies during periods of high market demand.
As of April 27, the DDC already holds around $34.4 million worth of SOL and intends to expand its position aggressively once SEC approval is granted. Shares of Janover (JNVR) were up nearly 5% on the news, signaling positive market reception to the plan.
As more public companies embrace Solana’s staking protocol, SOL’s price outlook for Q2 2025 appears increasingly skewed positive.
