GSR’s involvement points to a growing overlap between public markets and blockchain finance.

“This investment highlights the growing demand for efficient, secure access to high-quality crypto assets in public markets” Brian Rudick, GSR’s head of research, said in a statement.

Solana Foundation president Lily Liu said the deal marked another step in connecting traditional financial firms with decentralized infrastructure.

The move “underscores GSR’s confidence in Solana as a leading high-performance blockchain,” the finance company said in a release.
