Bitget Wallet Expands Into Native Solana Staking With Self-Operated Validator

Bitget Wallet has expanded its ecosystem with a new native staking feature for Solana, offering direct access to validator-level rewards during a period of rising interest in onchain yield. The rollout introduces a self-operated validator that strengthens security, reduces reliance on third-party nodes, and supports predictable returns as market activity cools. 

Hence, more users searching for stable reward structures now have a self-custodial option with full oversight of performance, uptime, and stake management. Significantly, this development arrives as Solana’s network sees sustained staking participation, with more than 67% of eligible supply locked.

Native Staking Launch Gains Momentum

According to the press release, the wallet’s new validator framework lets users stake SOL inside the Earn section with a minimum of 0.01 SOL. Rewards compound automatically and follow Solana’s standard epoch cycle, distributing every 2-3 days. 

Additionally, the wallet charges no fee beyond normal network gas, supporting a simple and transparent process. Bitget Wallet also backs the experience with its $700 million protection fund, giving users a security buffer during increased staking demand.

The platform aims to expand this validator model across other networks. Besides strengthening its staking roadmap, Bitget Wallet positions this upgrade as a step toward unifying native yield strategies within a single app. Consequently, users seeking consistent returns during quieter market periods can shift toward long-term accumulation.

Solana Price Holds Breakout Despite Pullback

Solana trades at $141.92 after a slight daily dip, yet the token remains up more than 12% over the week. According to Captain Faibik, Solana broke above its major descending trendline and successfully retested the $138–$140 area.

He noted that holding this zone keeps bullish structure intact and opens the path toward $150, $158, and $170. Moreover, a breakout above $150 could spark stronger momentum.

Tradinator shared a different angle, stating that Solana may remain within a broader $120–$160 range. He identified $145 as the mid-range level but avoids entering trades around that zone. Lights turn off for bulls if Solana loses $120, a level he marked months earlier.
