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.

SEC New Standards to Simplify Crypto ETF Listings

SEC New Standards to Simplify Crypto ETF Listings

The post SEC New Standards to Simplify Crypto ETF Listings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a new standard for crypto ETF listings on Wednesday. The standard is created to simplify the working of exchanges in terms of the process followed for crypto ETP listings. This makes it possible to to avoid the cumbersome route of case-by-case approval being followed so far. With this change, exchanges can bypass the 19(b) rule filing process. It is a review that can stretch up to 240 days and demands direct SEC approval before an ETF can launch. Instead of going through the tedious and lengthy review process, the SEC has set up a system that allows exchanges to act more quickly. Now, when an ETF issuer presents a product idea to exchanges like Nasdaq, NYSE, or CBOE, the exchange can move ahead as long as the proposal meets the generic listing standard. This means that strategies based on a single token or a basket of tokens can be listed without waiting for individual approval. New Standards Will Ease Crypto ETF Listings: SEC Chairman According to the Chairman of the SEC, Paul Atkins, this move is aimed at making it easier for investors to access digital asset products through regulated U.S. markets. He noted that by approving generic listing standards, the agency is helping U.S. capital markets remain a global leader in digital asset innovation. At the same time, the SEC approved the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, a fund made up of Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Cardano and Solana. Furthermore, the SEC also approved a new type of options linked to the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index and its mini version. This step further expands the range of crypto-linked derivatives available in regulated U.S. markets. How Will SEC General Listing Standard Impact Altcoin Crypto ETF Market?
