Large holders in the Solana ecosystem (commonly referred to as DAT) exhibit interesting characteristics. Among them, a company not headquartered in the crypto space has become the largest institutional holder of SOL, currently holding over 1% of the total supply. This company was originally known for manufacturing medical equipment and has gradually increased its investment in the Solana ecosystem.

Meanwhile, some active holders are deeply involved in on-chain DeFi ecosystems. They not only hold SOL but also interact directly with native Solana protocols such as Solstice Finance, Hylo, and others, optimizing asset allocation through liquidity provision and other DeFi activities. This behavior reflects institutional investors' recognition of the maturity of the Solana ecosystem and their proactive development of multi-chain DeFi opportunities.

SOL-3,38%

Medical equipment companies are all starting to buy SOL now. This ecosystem is really taking off.

Medical device company comes to buy SOL? Is this move really chaotic or part of some strategic layout?

Medical device companies are all starting to accumulate SOL, this ecosystem must be so hot... But are these institutions really involved in DeFi or are they just holding for appreciation?

Medical device companies are playing with SOL now, I didn't see that coming haha Protocols like Solstice and Hylo are really competing; institutional involvement makes a big difference A 1% holding volume, that shows a lot of confidence DeFi optimizing asset allocation sounds very professional, but honestly it's just betting that Solana won't collapse This wave of ecosystem maturity is indeed visibly noticeable

Medical equipment company entering SOL? This move is really a classic case of "copycat" haha NGL, Solana is really starting to feel institutional now, but with liquidity mining... be careful not to get drained Wait, why are solstice and hylo so popular now? I need to see what these two are up to Medical equipment crossing over into crypto? Is the next step for chip manufacturers to join the fun? Basically, it's big capital trying to bottom fish, don't get too excited

Medical device companies are now playing with SOL, and the turnaround is so fast... But to be fair, institutions are pouring real money into DeFi, which shows that the Solana ecosystem is indeed not bragging; its maturity is right there.

Medical device companies are all starting to stockpile SOL, this ecosystem is really mature... Still a bit worried about concentration, having 1% in one hand is quite risky. The high participation in DeFi clearly indicates that some people are optimistic, but are Hylo and Solstice these two protocols stable? I still feel there are risks. I didn't expect traditional industries to also go all-in on the blockchain, which is quite interesting. Is this really investment or just a prelude to harvesting retail investors...
