Solana News Today: DeSoc Raises $10M in Two Weeks Driven by Solana and Cardano Investors

A quiet but significant movement is unfolding in the cryptocurrency market, driven not by speculative fervor or short-term price swings, but by real investor engagement. DeSoc, a blockchain-based social media platform currently in its presale phase, has raised over $10 million in under two weeks, attracting capital from a range of crypto-native investors, including Solana and Cardano holders [1]. Unlike many altcoin fundraising campaigns, this capital is flowing from investors seeking long-term utility and real-world adoption rather than just the next speculative wave.

Cardano holders, in particular, are showing increased interest beyond price charts. ADA recently broke out of a long downtrend, with bullish momentum pushing the token closer to $0.9 and setting new technical targets. However, many investors are now looking for more than just academic progress and delayed upgrades. DeSoc’s promise of decentralized content monetization, immutable records, and smart contract-based tools is drawing attention from those who see the need for faster, more practical solutions [1].

Similarly, Solana’s recent price breakout has brought the token to new highs, with machine-learning forecasts and analyst commentary suggesting potential for a $300+ valuation, provided institutional demand continues. Yet, despite these bullish signals, Solana holders are increasingly diversifying their portfolios into projects like DeSoc. This shift is not driven by fear of missing out, but by the desire for platforms that deliver immediate value. DeSoc is positioned as a solution that does not rely on chart hype but instead offers foundational utility through content syndication, creator monetization, and decentralized governance [1].

What sets DeSoc apart is its tangible focus on real-world engagement. Instead of building another financial protocol, DeSoc is developing a social media ecosystem where value flows directly to creators. Its native token, $SOCS, powers a range of functions, including tipping, exclusive content access, and community governance. The platform’s API integration with major social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X allows users to post and monetize content across multiple networks from a single dashboard [1].

From a tokenomics perspective, DeSoc is also showing a commitment to long-term sustainability. A significant 45% of tokens are allocated to presale buyers, with a 30-year liquidity lock and a two-year team token lock. This structure signals a focus on project stability and aligns incentives with long-term participants [1].

The shift in investor behavior reflects a broader trend in the crypto market: decentralization is no longer just about finance. It is about redefining the internet itself. DeSoc is addressing this by building tools that can be used daily by a mainstream audience. For Solana holders and Cardano investors, the platform is not a replacement but a strategic addition to their portfolios—offering both alignment with decentralization ideals and real-world usability [1].
