Fidelity Launches Commission-Free Solana Trading

Fidelity Digital Assets has added Solana trading to its crypto trading platform. Starting March 2023, Fidelity Crypto supports commission-free Solana trading with a spread of up to 1% across retail, institutional, IRA and wealth management accounts. Availability varies by state and new users must open a brokerage account. After the launch, Solana’s price rose over 5% to around $191, pushing its market cap past $104 billion and 24-hour volume above $7 billion. Analysts note SOL is consolidating between $170 and $200, with short-term support at $170–$175 and resistance at $195–$200. On weekly charts, Solana forms an ascending triangle; a break above $320–$340 could target $500. Fidelity’s move reflects growing institutional demand and further integrates blockchain into traditional finance.
Bullish
Fidelity’s addition of Solana trading with zero commissions and institutional support can boost liquidity and broaden market access, underpinning short-term bullish momentum. The immediate 5% price rise reflects strong demand. Technical charts show consolidation ahead of a potential breakout. In the long term, wider adoption via Fidelity’s platforms could enhance Solana’s stability and growth prospects, reinforcing a positive market outlook.
