"Solana appeared in the filing through two new positions. Morgan Stanley reported approximately $4.25 million in shares of the Grayscale Solana Staking ETF and about $2.26 million in the Fidelity Solana Fund.

"TOESCOIN announced that it is in discussions with a major Japanese VC firm with roots in traditional venture capital that has been expanding into digital assets. According to TOESCOIN's community, the engagement includes a proposed contribution of up to $250,000 toward the project over time, along with strategic support as TOESCOIN builds out its presence on-chain."
