Upexi’s Institutional Solana Bet Boosts Demand — Watch for Concentration Risk

I see Upexi’s move to appoint Arthur Hayes and build an institutional advisory committee as a meaningful signal of growing institutional demand for Solana. Holding over 2 million SOL and staking it for yield shows a commitment to long-term exposure rather than short-term flipping.

At the same time, I’m cautious: concentrated corporate treasuries and rapid accumulation can tighten supply and lift prices, but they also create liquidation risk if strategies change. I view this as a positive development for SOL’s narrative, but not risk-free.
