<p>This fund typically <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/ark-digital-asset-revolutions-fund" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">invests</a> in 10–12 digital assets and is designed to perform over a full crypto market cycle (4–5 years). Under the terms of the partnership, ARK is relocating its Solana validator operations to SOL Strategies. Validator operations are the infrastructure that earns rewards for staking SOL and need a trustworthy, secure infrastructure.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-makes-this-partnership-important">What Makes This Partnership Important?</h2> 
<p>ARK’s selection is a vote of confidence in SOL Strategies’ security and technology. They are BitGo integrated, one of the most popular crypto custody platforms, which guarantees safe and easy staking for institutions.</p> 
<p>SOL Strategies operates five validators, with over 3.59 million SOL staked (worth around $647 million) by over 5,700 unique wallets. Only 12% of that comes from their treasury; the rest is from third-party clients, showing strong external trust.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>As of now, around 403 million SOL tokens are <a href="https://solanacompass.com/statistics/staking" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">staked</a>, which adds up to about $74.9 billion in value, according to Solana Compass. SOL Strategies reported a $3.5 million loss in Q2 2025, yet its staking revenue has been increasing.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="big-investors-embrace-crypto-staking">Big Investors Embrace Crypto Staking</h2> 
<p>ARK’s action indicates an expanding trend among institutions such as family offices, hedge funds, and asset managers seeking to earn yield on crypto holdings (such as Solana and Ethereum) rather than merely holding them.</p> 
<p>Many firms are pushing for stakeholder-enabled ETFs and looking for regulated, structured products to invest in. Recently, BlackRock has wanted to offer <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2025/07/17/breaking-blackrock-ethereum-etf-to-offer-staking-with-nasdaq-filing/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">staking rewards through its Ethereum ETF</a>, the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA).&nbsp;</p> 
<p>SOL Strategies is well-positioned in this market. The company focuses exclusively on the Solana ecosystem and is also preparing to list on Nasdaq, which would further strengthen its visibility and credibility.</p>
