Why Is Saylor Selling While Solana Treasuries Buy?

Top Solana Stories Of The Week: A Solana NFT collection just landed a show on Amazon Prime Video. This week on Solana Weekly News, Jack and Thomas sit down with Andrew Pelekis (CEO, Claynosaurz & HEEBOO) and Nic Cabana (CCO & Co-Founder) to break down how a Solana mint became a global franchise, what HEEBOO is building as a fan-first entertainment launchpad, and how they are rewarding the community that got them here.

Then we unpack the six biggest stories in Solana this week, from the fomo vs pump memecoin war to the SEC pulling its crypto rules meeting, and Forward Industries ($FWDI) resuming its $SOL buying as the DAT race reheats.
