Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 9, 2024) - SOL Global Investments Corp. (CSE: SOL) (OTC Pink: SOLCF) (FSE: 9SB) ("SOL Global" or the "Company), among the first publicly traded crypto investment companies providing exposure to the rapidly growing Solana ecosystem, is proud to announce its additional $1.5 million acquisition, further solidifying its strategic investment in Solana tokens, at a price of CDN $343 per token which gives it access to an additional 4,372 tokens. This investment demonstrates SOL Global' s continued confidence in Solana's ability to drive the next wave of growth in blockchain technology, decentralized finance (DeFi), and derivatives markets. SOL Global's increased investment in Solana reflects the Company's belief in its transformative potential within the blockchain space. This latest acquisition brings SOL Global's total holdings of Solana to 17,028 tokens.
