Solana Defies $70 Resistance with Institutional Support and MoneyGram Validator

Solana's price held steady above $70 on Tuesday, as institutional demand and MoneyGram's validator move boosted the outlook for the network.

The token was trading at $71.03, down 1.31% over the past 24 hours, with about $2.40 billion in daily volume, according to CoinMarketCap data.

The Solana Foundation introduced an open data platform accessible via solana.com/data, consolidating key ecosystem indicators into a single public dashboard, designed to provide standardized metrics across network performance, usage, DeFi activity, and broader ecosystem statistics.

MoneyGram International, one of the world's largest remittance firms, said it has joined Solana's proof-of-stake network as a validator, aiming to build toward more open and interoperable stablecoin rails.
