Institutional investment via ETFs means that there is not a direct ownership of tokens. The latest investment is one of the largest that has been made this year for Solana investment via ETFs. With the continued development of the Solana ecosystem and upgrades, institutional investment is expected to drive the sentiment and prices, which will further strengthen Solana within crypto.

Solana Must Defend Key Support to Break Above $190

Moreover, the crypto analyst CryptoBullet revealed that Solana (SOL) is actually testing an important support area, which is also a level that has served as strong support in the past. Analysts believe that the token is likely to hold strong at present and also form a lower high, leading to an upcoming short-term rebound.

Looking forward, in the event the support is snapped next year, the price of SOL is poised to experience further drops. In the short run, there is a forecast of a rebound, and the price is likely to target between $170 and $190. This would provide traders with some reprieve. However, what happens at this critical point would define the long-run market sentiments.
