NEWTOWN, PA — Solana Company (Nasdaq: HSDT) said it plans to invest in a low-latency network cluster in the Asia-Pacific region to support staking and validation on the Solana blockchain and expand services for institutional and trading partners.
The company said the infrastructure buildout will initially connect Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong, aiming to address what it described as limited Solana network infrastructure in a region that accounts for a significant share of global population, crypto users and cross-border financial activity.
Solana Company said it will begin deploying smaller network nodes to support security and efficiency, with broader performance optimization and technology upgrades planned by the second half of 2026. The company expects to introduce liquidity-related products and services within 12 to 18 months.
Joseph Chee, chief executive officer of Solana Company, said the initiative is intended to support developers, financial institutions and technology companies operating within the Solana ecosystem. “By establishing the Pacific Backbone, we better support our existing ecosystem of developers and partners while accelerating the onboarding of new participants,” he said in a statement.
Cosmo Jiang, general partner at Pantera Capital Management, said the investment is aimed at improving staking and validation services for users in Asia and diversifying revenue.
The company said the expansion will focus on serving market makers, high-frequency traders, exchanges and traditional finance partners. Planned services include decentralized finance infrastructure, liquid staking, automated market makers, remote procedure call services and execution services in the Asia-Pacific market.
Solana Company also said it intends to capture additional value within its staking operations by reducing reliance on external infrastructure providers and building compliant infrastructure for regulated institutions.
Solana is a blockchain network designed to support high transaction throughput. Solana Company said it operates as an independent treasury company focused on supporting tokenized networks while continuing development of its neurotechnology and medical device operations.
