Sol Strategies Selected as Staking Provider for North America’s 3iQ Staked Solana ETF
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 11, 2025) – Sol Strategies Inc. (CSE: HODL) (OTCQX: CYFRF) (formerly, Cypherpunk Holdings Inc, “Sol Strategies” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded Canadian company dedicated to investing in and providing infrastructure for the Solana blockchain ecosystem, today announced its selection as staking provider for 3iQ Corp.’s (“3iQ”) Solana Staking ETF (the “Fund”). Sol Strategies’ non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with 3iQ, a leader in digital asset investment solutions, is a major step forward in expanding institutional adoption of Solana staking.
Pursuant to the MOU, signed February 7, 2025, Sol Strategies agrees to invest the lesser of $15 million or 33.33% of total assets of the Fund on the Fund’s launch date, which must remain invested in the Fund for a minimum of three months.
“Sol Strategies’ institutional-grade infrastructure and proven track record in this ecosystem made them the clear choice,” said Pascal St-Jean, CEO and President at 3iQ. “Their compliance framework and validator performance align perfectly with our commitment to providing regulated, secure digital asset exposure to investors.”
This partnership with 3iQ comes at a time of tremendous momentum for Sol Strategies as it expands its institutional Solana staking. “Being selected as 3iQ’s staking partner validates our infrastructure and demonstrates the growing demand for regulated staking solutions,” said Leah Wald, CEO of Sol Strategies. “This partnership represents a pivotal moment for institutional Solana staking, allowing traditional investors to access staking rewards through a regulated investment vehicle.”
Recent growth highlights include:
Expansion to 1.64M SOL in total delegation across three validators
Increase in SOL holdings to 218,903 SOL, which is staked to the Company’s own validators, generating recurring revenue and further strengthening the Company’s staking capacity
Sol Strategies has successfully deployed two Firedancer validators, enhancing Solana’s performance, security, and decentralization while strengthening its staking operations. In addition, publishing its first technical blog post detailing how to expose the Firedancer interface securely, which anyone can view and watch the validator build blocks in real time. The Company has also upgraded to Jito 2.1, a huge upgrade which has greatly improved the speed of Solana
With $72M CAD in liquidity (as detailed in the latest MD&A, available on Sol Strategies’ Investor Page and SEDAR+), Sol Strategies continues its systematic SOL accumulation and strategic expansion, reinforcing its staking operations and long-term growth
With institutional demand for Solana exposure growing, Sol Strategies continues to solidify its position as the leading publicly traded company focused on Solana, driving innovation and value creation for our shareholders.
