Solana saw a 5.5% rise on Friday, climbing above $241, which is its best price since late January, driven by growing institutional investments.
Earlier this week, Forward Industries, a design firm listed on NASDAQ that caters to healthcare and tech sectors, announced a significant private investment of $1.65 billion. Notably, this deal involved leading firms like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital.
The company’s stock, trading under the Ford ticker on the NasdaqCM Exchange, initially hit $46 on Friday but, at the moment, it has pulled back to around $37.72. Still, that’s a 9.41% increase from the previous day.
When the pipe deal was announced, Solana’s price rose above $215, and it has since reached an even greater high within just a day. Currently, Solana is about 18% off its all-time high of $293.31, achieved in January, according to Coingecko.
With recent price shifts, users on Myriad are becoming more optimistic about Solana’s trajectory. Support for the view that Solana will rise to $250 rather than fall to $130 increased from 66% to 89% as of this moment.
The upward movement in token value was supported by BIT Mining’s recent announcement to purchase an additional 17,221 SOL, intending to change its NYSE ticker to Sorai. Back in July, the stock was trading under the BTBT ticker and had surged over $5 per share following strong performance.
As of now, BTBT shares are roughly at $3, witnessing a slight increase of 1.9%.
