SOL STRATEGIES SELECTED AS STAKING PROVIDER FOR VANECK SOLANA ETF

Sol Strategies Inc. has been selected as a staking provider for the VanEck Solana ETF through Sol Strategies' Orangefin validator.

VanEck has been a long-standing supporter of the Solana ecosystem. The arrangement advances Sol Strategies' mission to bridge traditional finance with decentralized infrastructure.

"We're excited to work with VanEck, a firm that has consistently championed the Solana ecosystem," said Michael Hubbard, interim chief executive officer of Sol Strategies. "This selection validates our infrastructure capabilities and highlights the institutional interest in compliant, high performance Solana staking solutions. As we continue to scale our validator operations, arrangements like this reinforce our position as a trusted institutional gateway to the Solana ecosystem."

"VanEck has long recognized Solana's potential," said Kyle DaCruz, director of digital assets product at VanEck. "Sol Strategies' proven track record in validator operations and institutional focus made them a natural choice for our Solana ETF staking requirements."
