SOL Strategies Secures Institutional Grade Staking Deal With Netcoins

SOL Strategies Inc. (NASDAQ: $STKE) announced on Wednesday that it has entered an institutional staking partnership with regulated Canadian crypto-exchange Netcoins, a subsidiary of BIGG Digital Assets Inc. (TSXV: $BIGG). Under the agreement, Netcoins will migrate its Solana (CRYPTO: $SOL) staking operations to SOL Strategies’ enterprise-grade validator infrastructure, enabling Netcoins’ customers access to enhanced staking yields while retaining regulatory compliance with Canadian securities laws. 

SOL Strategies, which specialises in the Solana ecosystem and operates a revenue-generating validator business alongside a significant Solana treasury, said that the partnership reflects growing demand from institutional and regulated entities for validator services that meet both yield performance and compliance requirements. 

Netcoins’ CEO Fraser Matthews said that the due-diligence process focused heavily on technical infrastructure and operational reliability, stating that SOL Strategies had “demonstrated strength across all dimensions.” The regulated exchange emphasised the need for a validator partner capable of delivering high yields without sacrificing regulatory integrity. 

SOL Strategies currently operates four validator nodes supporting more than 15,000 unique wallets. Its institutional reach includes clients via custodians such as BitGo and Crypto.com, as well as white-label validator partnerships with entities like Pudgy Penguins (CRYPTO: $PENGU) and Solana Mobile. 

Some view the partnership as a notable milestone in the evolution of staking infrastructure, particularly within regulated markets. By aligning with a regulated exchange such as Netcoins, SOL Strategies is positioning itself at the intersection of yield generation and regulatory-compliant service delivery.

The announcement is likely to bolster investor attention on SOL Strategies’ evolving business model, which combines asset accumulation, validator operations and service contracts. As regulators globally focus more on staking and custodial practices, companies that can offer compliant, institutional-grade validator services may gain a competitive edge.
