SOL Strategies’ Validators Join Crypto.com Custody Platform

Crypto.com announced a new partnership on October 2. The crypto exchange is joining forces with Nasdaq-listed SOL treasury firm “Sol Strategives Inc. (CSE: HODL, Nasdaq: STKE) to integrate the firm’s validator services into Crypto.com’s custody platform. 

The new collab allows clients of Crypto.com custody to gain direct access to enterprise-grade staking options, significantly boosting the potential economic reward for storing assets with the firm. 

As part of the agreement, SOL Strategies will move a portion of its Solana treasury into Crypto.com Custody. In return, Crypto.com will offer SOL Strategies’ validator services to its institutional clients: hedge funds, asset managers, and high-net-worth individuals looking for compliant staking infrastructure.

“Public companies building out their digital asset treasury require a safe, secure, and compliant custody solution and reliable staking options,” said Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer of Crypto.com. “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.”

SOL Strategies operates under a DAT++ model, combining treasury accumulation with validator infrastructure. The company’s validators will now be available to Crypto.com’s institutional custody clients.

“This partnership validates our position as an institutional-grade Solana infrastructure provider,” said Michael Hubbard, Interim CEO of SOL Strategies. “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.”

SOL Strategies has been making moves in the crypto industry as of late. After entering the Nasdaq via a merger in mid-September, the company also recently announced a private placement worth C$30,003,000, issuing 4.38 million units at C$6.85 each.

The company also partnered with Ark Invest, in a development that allowed Ark Invest’s Digital Asset Revolutions Fund to migrate its Solana validator activity to SOL Strategies’ infrastructure.
