DigitalX Partners with SOL Strategies to Unlock Solana Staking via BitGo—Wall Street Still Trying to Pronounce ’Blockchain’

In a move that blends institutional crypto infrastructure with DeFi agility, DigitalX just cut the red tape on Solana staking through BitGo’s custody solutions. SOL Strategies brings the yield-optimizing brains to the operation—because passive income shouldn’t mean passive thinking.

Why it matters: While traditional finance debates whether staking counts as ’unregistered securities,’ DigitalX is quietly onboarding clients at 6% APY. The suits will catch up... eventually.

The kicker: This isn’t your grandma’s proof-of-stake. With BitGo’s enterprise-grade security wrapping SOL Strategies’ algorithmic yield tactics, even the most risk-averse funds can’t cry ’too volatile’ anymore. Unless they’d rather stick to their 0.01% savings accounts.

Institutional appeal 

SOL Strategies CEO Leah Wald said the partnership underscores the infrastructure company’s growing institutional appeal. “DigitalX shares our vision for expanding institutional access to the blockchain economy,” Wald said. “Their decision to stake with SOL Strategies further validates the strength and performance of our platform.”

This news comes as Superstate launched Opening Bell, a platform enabling SEC-registered public shares to be issued and traded directly on blockchains, starting with Solana. SOL Strategies became the first company to list its shares through the system, marking a step toward integrating public markets with digital assets.

DigitalX Interim CEO Demetrios Christou described SOL Strategies as a “best-in-class” infrastructure provider, citing its performance and BitGo integration as key selection factors.

Both companies are publicly listed and aim to offer regulated, scalable solutions in the digital asset space.
