Forward Industries has expanded its Solana treasury to 7.55 million SOL, exceeding the combined holdings of the next three largest publicly traded Solana treasury companies.

Solana's 'Venice' Narrative: Will Speculative Capital Fuel Sustainable Growth, or Just Rotation?
Solana is experiencing increased activity and relative price strength, attributed to speculative capital inflows from a recent 'Ansem' token event.

Will Solana sustain its relative outperformance against Ethereum and Hyperliquid?
