The Solana ecosystem is experiencing a robust uptrend, overcoming the challenges of the bear market. The substantial appreciation of the price of SOL and a distinct shift in market sentiment marks a noteworthy resurgence.
Data from BeInCrypto shows that Solana’s SOL briefly touched the $60 mark earlier today, its highest level since May 2022.

Grayscale Solana Trust at 800% Premium
The bullish market conditions have significantly impacted Grayscale’s Solana Trust (GSOL). Data shows GSOL shares are trading at an impressive premium exceeding 800%.
Secondary SOL shares transactions reached as high as $202 on November 10. This represents a substantial increase from the $20 valuation of primary sales during the same period.
This surge underscores a growing interest among institutional investors in securing exposure to Solana. The American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) says GSOL provides a secure avenue for investors to invest in the ecosystem without the inherent risks.
Notably, the premium trading of GSOL aligns with other Grayscale products currently attracting substantial attention from investors. This heightened interest stems from prevailing sentiments regarding the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the US.
