It’s kind of like a crypto buffet—everyone wants a taste!

The team behind Pump.fun must be thrilled. Their Solana-based memecoin launcher’s new utility token is now valued at a whopping $4 billion. Not bad for a few minutes’ work.

In a latest news development, shared by Cointelegraph, Robinhood just brought SOL and ETH staking back to the U.S., and it’s a big moment for Solana. After being dropped in 2023 when the SEC labeled it an unregistered security, SOL is back on one of the most retail-heavy platforms in the space. This clear shift in tone and a signal that regulatory pressure around SOL may be easing. It’s like Solana has been given a second chance to shine, and it’s all thanks to the good folks at Robinhood. 🎉
