Crypto.com announced its strategic partnership with Sharps Technology, Inc. (STSS) to manage the latter’s Solana-based digital asset treasury. With more than 2 million SOL tokens in its holdings, valued at over $400 million, STSS aims to use Crypto.com’s platform for managing these assets. This collaboration will also drive greater institutional participation in the Solana ecosystem, aligning both companies with Solana’s future growth.
STSS has been expanding its digital asset treasury strategy, with a clear focus on the Solana network. As part of the agreement, Crypto.com will offer its institutional-grade custody infrastructure, along with access to its OTC desk. The partnership aims to maximize returns on STSS’s Solana holdings while maintaining secure management. Crypto.com’s platform will allow STSS to deploy a portion of its assets into Solana-native projects, contributing to the broader growth of the Solana ecosystem.
Strengthening Solana’s Institutional Infrastructure
The strategic collaboration marks a pivotal moment for Solana as both companies focus on fostering institutional involvement. Through Crypto.com’s secure custody solutions and OTC services, STSS will deploy its Solana holdings more efficiently and transparently. This approach aligns with institutional needs for compliance, security, and liquidity access.
Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com, commented on the partnership, saying, “STSS has an ambitious vision for its digital asset treasury strategy, and we are excited to partner with them to help realize that vision.”
He further emphasized that Crypto.com’s infrastructure is uniquely suited for institutions looking to safely manage digital asset treasuries. The partnership underlines the growing importance of bridging traditional finance with the Solana blockchain.
Expanding Liquidity Across the Solana Network
The collaboration between STSS and Crypto.com will go beyond simple asset management. STSS plans to actively engage with Solana’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, allocating capital into staking, liquidity provision, and validator support. These efforts are designed to strengthen the Solana network’s infrastructure, increasing liquidity and supporting long-term growth.
By generating yield through these strategies, STSS will also play a role in the sustainability of Solana’s ecosystem.
James Zhang, Strategic Advisor to STSS, explained, “Partnering with Crypto.com provides us with institutional-grade tools and liquidity access to responsibly manage one of the largest Solana treasuries, while also contributing to the growth of the Solana ecosystem.” This move shows how institutional players are increasingly looking to capitalize on the blockchain’s potential, integrating these assets into real-world financial strategies.
