SOL Global Provides Corporate Update on Solana Focused Investment

SOL Global has purchased its initial $2.0 USD million investment in Solana

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2024) - SOL Global Investments Corp. (CSE: SOL) (OTC Pink: SOLCF) (FSE: 9SB) ("SOL Global" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has purchased its initial $2.0 million USD investment in Solana at a price of US$245, which gives it access to 8,123 Solana tokens.

SOL Global intends to hold the tokens and benefit from price appreciation as well as a yield through a process called staking. Staking is a mechanism that supports the Solana blockchain network's operations by delegating Solana tokens to validators on the network that use stake-weighted consensus votes to validate transactions on the blockchain and thereby maintain network integrity. By staking its Solana tokens, SOL Global will participate in the Solana network's Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, helping to secure and decentralize the blockchain, while earning rewards for its contribution. This investment strategy not only offers potential for asset appreciation but also enables SOL Global to generate a steady yield, enhancing the long-term value of its holdings.

SOL Global intends to continue its investment in Solana, as well as in related technologies and instruments that support the blockchain and crypto ecosystem. The Company sees a promising future for the broader crypto space, with Solana emerging as a leading technology due to its high-performance capabilities and scalability. SOL Global believes that Solana's innovative approach to decentralized applications and its growing ecosystem position it as a cornerstone of the digital economy. By expanding its commitment to Solana, SOL Global aims to capitalize on the long-term potential of blockchain advancements and the expanding role of decentralized finance.
