Crypto.com’s native token CRO also soared over 7% in the past 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The collaboration brings together Crypto.com’s institutional-grade custody services with SOL Strategies’ proven validator infrastructure, marking a significant step in strengthening Solana’s institutional adoption.

Treasury Diversification and Institutional Custody

As part of the agreement, SOL Strategies will diversify its Solana treasury holdings by leveraging Crypto.com Custody, ensuring safe and compliant storage of its digital assets. 

At the same time, Crypto.com Custody clients—including institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals—will gain direct access to SOL Strategies’ enterprise-grade validator services, which currently secure more than CAD $1 billion in delegated assets.

Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com, emphasized the growing need for secure and reliable infrastructure in digital asset management.

“Public companies building out their digital asset treasury require a safe, secure, and compliant custody solution and reliable staking options,” Anziani said in a statement. 

“We are pleased to partner with SOL Strategies not only to provide them with trusted treasury custody solutions, but also to enhance our validator network,” the COO added.

Expanding Validator Access on Solana

The integration of SOL Strategies’ validators into Crypto.com Custody represents a critical signal for institutions entering the Solana ecosystem. Institutional clients can now delegate their assets to validators with a strong track record, while SOL Strategies gains a trusted custody partner for its own treasury.

Michael Hubbard, Interim CEO of SOL Strategies, noted the dual benefit of the partnership.

“This partnership validates our position as an institutional-grade Solana infrastructure provider,” said Hubbard. 

“By making our validators available through Crypto.com’s custody platform, we’re expanding access to our proven validator services while prudently diversifying our own treasury custody operations,” the Interim CEO said, adding, “This dual benefit reflects our DAT++ model, where we combine treasury strategy with infrastructure revenue.”

Institutional Signal for Solana

The partnership underscores a growing maturity in Solana’s institutional appeal. By providing custody backed by Crypto.com’s security-first platform and pairing it with SOL Strategies’ infrastructure expertise, the collaboration strengthens both sides of the digital asset equation: protection of treasuries and performance of validator networks.

For institutional investors, the development represents a more secure pathway into Solana exposure, further validating its staying power as one of the leading blockchains for scalability and speed.
