The token’s price has surged by over 92% in the past 30 days, trading at $0.007. This recent growth highlights the increasing demand for memecoins within the Solana ecosystem.Fitell’s entry into Solana began in late September, when it announced a $100 million financing facility.

These strategies aim to provide “outsized yields” and “alpha generation” for the company and its stakeholders.In addition, Fitell plans to rebrand as “Solana Australia Corporation” to reflect its new focus. This name change will help position the company as a dedicated vehicle for Solana exposure in public markets.
