Jito Foundation has teamed up with Nasdaq-listed Solana Company to expand institutional-grade Solana validator and staking infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region. The move comes as blockchain networks compete to attract regulated financial institutions and professional investors, analysts said.
Decentralized exchange (DEX) activity surged over the past 24 hours, with meme-linked pairs on Solana (SOL) dominating trend charts as HANTA (HANTA) posted a four-digit rally—an abrupt move that underscored the market's continued appetite for ultra-high-beta tokens despite pockets of sharp drawdowns. Data from DEX Screener dated May 8 UTC showed HANTA/SOL as the top trending pair, trading around $0.0187 after rising roughly 1,166% over 24 hours.
