A new opportunity to invest in the Solana (SOL) ecosystem has opened up for global traditional finance (TradFi) investors. SOL Strategies will list on the NASDAQ under the ticker "STKE" on September 9 (local time). This structure will provide institutional investors with regulated investment channels, allowing them to gain indirect exposure to Solana-based assets without investing directly.
Formerly known as Cypherpunk Holdings, Sol Strategies, headquartered in Canada, has focused on crypto asset holdings. Following a major rebrand in 2024, the company focused on the Solana ecosystem and currently holds 23 Bitcoin (BTC) tokens. Previously listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the ticker "HODL," the OTCQB's CYFRF token will automatically convert to the Nasdaq upon its listing.
Regarding this, Leah Wald, CEO of Sol Strategies, emphasized, "This NASDAQ listing goes beyond simply being a company achievement; it signifies institutional recognition for the entire Solana ecosystem. It will demonstrate the potential for growth as a high-performance blockchain ecosystem through a formal market." She added, "This could be a turning point for institutional capital inflow into Solana's infrastructure through regulated channels."
Meanwhile, institutional investment demand for Solana is expanding beyond the United States. On September 5th, Central Asia's first staking-based Solana spot ETF was listed on the Kazakhstan International Exchange (AIX) in Astana. Launched by Fonte Capital, the SETF product offers staking returns on SOL holdings, with custody handled by BitGo. It is expected to expand a standardized Solana investment approach in the TradFi market.
As Solana continues its global expansion, the convergence of traditional capital markets and the digital asset ecosystem appears to be accelerating. Sol Strategies' Nasdaq listing is seen as a signal of institutionalization beyond a single company, extending beyond the Solana ecosystem as a whole.
