Key facts about buying Solana at a glance

Solana (SOL) is one of the largest cryptocurrencies worldwide and currently ranks sixth among all cryptocurrencies by market capitalization (as of dd.MM.YYYY).

You can buy Solana in several ways: via crypto apps or crypto brokers (particularly beginner-friendly), international exchanges (often with more features), or directly through your own self-custodied wallet.
You don't have to buy a full SOL token. With BISON, you can buy and sell Solana starting from any amount, while custody of your real SOL is handled for you (see here).
The costs of buying Solana vary depending on the provider. With BISON, for example, there are no traditional fees for transactions, deposits, withdrawals, or custody. Depending on the purchase method, costs typically range between 0.5% and 5% of the investment amount.

What is Solana?

Solana (SOL) is one of the largest cryptocurrencies worldwide by market capitalization. When you buy Solana, you invest in the SOL token, which is used within the network for transaction fees and is also frequently staked. Solana began development in 2017, but has only been tradable since 2020. The ecosystem, which is known for its high transaction throughput and low fees, is based on a Layer 1 blockchain used for smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).

How the Solana network works:

Solana is based on Proof of Stake. Validators secure the network by staking their coins.
These validators verify transactions, combine them into blocks, and reach consensus on the correct state of the blockchain.
The network architecture is designed for parallel processing, allowing multiple processes to be handled simultaneously. This is one reason for Solana’s high transaction speeds.
Following the Firedancer update in December 2025, Solana’s long-term theoretical throughput is expected to reach one million transactions per second (TPS) (Source: Solana. “Increase Bandwidth, Reduce Latency: How Solana is Scaling to Enable Internet Capital Markets”. Available online at: https://solana.com/el/news/blog-internet-capital-markets, last accessed on 10.02.2026).

Buying and trading SOL is popular among investors. For example, the network processed more than 200 billion transactions across 2024 and 2025 (Source: Solana, X. “Over the last two years, Solana has processed more than 200 billion transactions”. Available online at: https://x.com/solana/status/1999029719904489749, last accessed on 10.02.2026).

Important: Real Solana with BISON
There are several ways to invest in Solana, ranging from ETFs to CFDs. However, with these products, you generally only gain indirect exposure to SOL. With BISON, by contrast, you buy real SOL. Your Solana coins are held in a custodial wallet, and you can sell them again at any time—around the clock, directly in the app. If your SOL is stored in an external wallet beforehand, you must first transfer it back to BISON before selling. This transfer is free of charge, but may take several business days.

Key features and characteristics of Solana (SOL):

Core idea behind buying Solana: When investors buy Solana, they are not investing in a traditional store of value like Bitcoin, but rather in a multifunctional crypto ecosystem.
Infrastructure for Web3: Solana was specifically developed to support a large number of users and applications simultaneously. As one of the leading smart contract platforms, Solana has ranked among the top 10 cryptocurrencies for years.
Proof of History: Solana’s key technical differentiator is Proof of History (PoH). This mechanism integrates a cryptographic timestamp directly into the blockchain, reducing the need for coordination and contributing to high transaction speeds.
Disinflationary token model: Unlike cryptocurrencies with a fixed supply cap, such as Bitcoin or XRP, Solana uses a dynamic inflation model to secure the network. The inflation rate initially started at 8% and decreases by 15% annually until it stabilizes at a long-term rate of 1.5% (Source: https://solana.com/de/staking#what-will-the-inflation-rate-be).
Environmentally friendly staking: New Coins enter circulation via Proof of Stake. Investors can stake their SOL Token to validate transactions and secure the network – this is very energy-efficient.

Can you also buy a Solana ETF?

Since mid-2025, investors have been able to buy Solana spot ETFs. In Germany and Europe, these US-issued ETFs are generally accessible via ETPs (Exchange Traded Products) or ETNs, which closely track the price of Solana and can be traded just as easily as an ETF based on the DAX or S&P 500.

Can you buy a Solana stock?

No, there is no such thing as a “Solana stock.” Unlike companies such as Coca-Cola or Microsoft, Solana is not a publicly traded company, but a decentralized blockchain network. When you buy Solana, you are not purchasing shares in a company—instead, you are buying the SOL token, the digital currency at the core of the network.

Excursus: Companies holding large amounts of Solana
Some companies have purchased and continue to hold substantial amounts of Solana (Source: Yahoo Finance. "The 5 Largest Publicly Traded Solana Treasury Firms". Available online at: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/5-largest-publicly-traded-solana, last accessed on 10.02.2026). These include Forward Industries (nearly 7 million SOL), Solana Company (2.2 million SOL), and DeFi Development Corp. (nearly 2.2 million SOL). Forward Industries, for example, is publicly traded. For investors looking to invest in a company with significant exposure to Solana, this may represent one possible option.

How can I buy Solana (SOL)?

You can buy Solana through the options mentioned above, for example via a neobroker or a crypto platform. Depending on the provider, it’s often enough to deposit fiat currency and use it to buy Solana—with BISON, for instance, where custody is also handled for you. Alternatively, you can create your own wallet and buy Solana directly into it.

A KPMG study from 2025 shows that Solana has long established itself as one of the most important cryptocurrencies. According to the “Digital Assets in Deutschland 2025” survey, investors are increasingly diversifying their portfolios, with Solana included in the crypto portfolio of 60% of all investors (Source: KPMG. “Pressemitteilung Vertrauen in digitale Assets wächst trotz regulatorischer Herausforderungen”. Available online at: https://kpmg.com/de/de/medien/pressemitteilungen/2025/03/vertrauen-in-digitale-assets-waechst-trotz-regulatorischer-herausforderungen.html, last accessed on 10.02.2026).

How much does it cost to buy Solana?

The cost of buying Solana varies depending on the provider and the purchase method. In general, you can expect costs of roughly 0.5% to 5% of the amount invested in Solana. These may include spreads as well as deposit, withdrawal, and custody fees.

Typical costs when buying Solana:

Trading fees: Approximately 0.2% to 1.5% per transaction
Account, deposit, and withdrawal fees: Additional charges may apply depending on the provider
Custody fees: Fees for the secure storage of coins

At BISON, none of these traditional fees apply. Buying and selling, deposits and withdrawals, as well as custody of your coins are free of charge—not only for Solana, but for all tradable cryptocurrencies on the platform. Only indirect costs via the spread apply.

Should I buy Solana now or not?

Whether buying Solana makes sense at the current time depends entirely on your personal risk tolerance and investment horizon. However, many experts—including Alexander Mayer—view Solana as a core position in a balanced crypto portfolio (Source: onvista, YouTube. “Diese Fragen sollten Krypto-Investoren sich vor dem Portfolio-Aufbau beantworten”.

Available online at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op8n7JYJdgQ&list=PL2N792jHx2CK-xUi71XqFLY274GUz-WvI&index=8, last accessed on 10.02.2026). Others, such as Darius Moukhtarzade, even see the Solana ecosystem outperforming Ethereum in the long term (Source: Cash. Media Group. “Blockchain mit vielen Einkommensquellen: Kann Solana Ethereum überholen?”. Available online at: https://www.cash-online.de/a/blockchain-mit-vielen-einkommensquellen-kann-solana-ethereum-ueberholen-704792/, last accessed on 10.02.2026).

One indication of this underlying strength is Solana’s trading volume. In the third quarter of 2025 alone, assets worth USD 326 billion were traded on Solana’s decentralized exchanges (DEXs) (Source: Elad, B., SQ Magazine. “Solana Statistics 2026: Unveiling Growth Secrets”. Available online at: https://sqmagazine.co.uk/solana-statistics/, last accessed on 10.02.2026). At times, Solana has even surpassed market leader Ethereum in terms of on-chain activity.

Buy Solana via a savings plan
Like most altcoins, Solana is relatively volatile compared to Bitcoin. If you want to invest in Solana regularly and conveniently, you can use a savings plan with BISON. Invest in SOL weekly, monthly, or quarterly and benefit from the cost averaging effect when buying Solana.

When has buying Solana proven worthwhile?

Has the opportunity to buy Solana at the “perfect” moment already passed? Even though price rallies often trigger FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and the feeling of being “late to the party,” a look at Solana’s price history shows that there have repeatedly been attractive entry opportunities:

2025 – Solana in the institutional sector: Even later entries could still prove worthwhile. After temporary pullbacks below EUR 100, renewed momentum entered the market in April 2025 thanks to spot ETFs and growing institutional adoption. Investors who bought Solana during this phase saw price gains of more than 100% within a relatively short period.
2023 – Major rebound: After SOL had been effectively written off following the collapse of FTX at the end of 2022, investors who bought during this period were rewarded for their risk tolerance. The price rose from EUR 10 to approximately EUR 100 during 2023.
2021 – Buying opportunity during the “Solana Summer”: This marked Solana’s first major breakthrough. Starting at around EUR 1.50 , the price surged to a then all-time high of over EUR 220, driven by NFT hype and growth in DeFi applications.
2020 – Early-stage phase: Investors who bought Solana very early were still able to purchase SOL for under EUR 1. However, similar to buying Bitcoin in 2009, this was more of a speculative bet than a solid investment.
