Solana News Today: Chainlink Surges 57.6% on Buybacks and Growth, Solana Approaches $185, Cold Wallet Targets 4900% ROI

Chainlink, Solana, and Cold Wallet are generating distinct forms of investor attention in the evolving digital asset landscape of 2025. Chainlink is experiencing a significant resurgence driven by growing partnerships and network activity. Its price has surged by 57.6% in recent sessions, supported by a combination of buybacks and expanded use cases in tokenized finance. The project has acquired more than 65,000 LINK tokens, reducing the circulating supply and reinforcing its role in connecting decentralized applications with real-world financial data [1]. Analysts highlight that Chainlink's infrastructure is now integrated into over 2,000 decentralized applications, solidifying its position as a key player in the blockchain-to-traditional finance bridge [2].

Simultaneously, Solana continues to gain traction as a high-performance blockchain for decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The Solana price has approached $185, with analysts pointing to a potential next resistance level at $190 before further upward movement [3]. Network metrics remain strong, with daily trading volume and total value locked (TVL) among the highest in the DeFi space. Developers are focused on maintaining Solana’s speed and scalability, which has contributed to its adoption by institutional and retail traders alike [4]. With DeFi activity surpassing $4 billion in locked value, Solana is proving to be a reliable platform for high-frequency trading and decentralized platforms.

Cold Wallet, a new entrant in the market, is gaining momentum through its presale offering, which has already raised $6.3 million. The project is currently in Stage 17, where each CWT token is priced at $0.00998. Analysts project that if the presale meets its fundraising targets, early investors could see potential returns as high as 4,900% ROI [5]. The structured, stage-based model is designed to reward early buyers with lower entry costs while ensuring transparency in token allocation. Cold Wallet is also emphasizing security, offering offline storage solutions to address one of the most significant risks in crypto—hacks and exchange failures. Referral incentives further enhance participation, with 20% for referrers and 10% for referees, distributed through a vesting schedule to encourage long-term holding [6].

Each project caters to different investor preferences in 2025. Chainlink focuses on infrastructure and institutional adoption, Solana on high-performance DeFi and NFT ecosystems, and Cold Wallet on a structured, security-first approach through its presale model. Collectively, they represent a diversified range of opportunities in the digital asset market, from speculative growth to stable, long-term utility. As these projects continue to evolve, they are shaping how investors approach digital finance, balancing innovation with caution.
