Solana Stock Rallies After Institutional Staked SOL Loan Program Launch

• HSDT shares surged after launching loans against staked SOL.
• Institutions can raise cash without selling or losing rewards.

The company listed on the Nasdaq has changed its strategy, focusing on Solana. It announced a new product in which the large investors can borrow money using their staked SOL as collateral without removing the staking or selling the tokens. After this announcement, the market reacted immediately, and the firm’s stock rose to 17% during the trading and finished the day around 15%. 

What this partnership brings

This program is built in partnership with Anchorage Digital and Kamino Finance. Institutions can now keep their SOL safely in custody while continuing to earn staking rewards and, at the same time, take loans using those tokens as collateral. Instead of liquidation, it works like borrowing against an asset you own. 

Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage Digital, says institutions want on-chain liquidity but cannot compromise on custody or security standards. Basically, big investors usually face a trade-off. By staking, they can earn, but if they need cash, they have to unstake or sell it. This new structure helps the investors to access the capital by keeping them invested. 

Investors see this as a new revenue opportunity and a sign that the company is becoming more financially innovative, which makes way for the treasury holdings to be productive even in a downturn. Allowing borrowing against the staked assets is one of the transformative steps in that evolution. 

Major shift in stocks 

Solana’s price has dropped recently, and many companies have been under heavy pressure. So the firm began to look for more ways to generate income from staking, and many public companies are now building validator businesses and creating structural yield products. Even after the rally, the shares remain around 90% below their levels, and the recent jump is seen as more confidence returning rather than a full recovery. 

This announcement signals that crypto is maturing. And instead of focusing on token appreciation, companies are now looking for capital efficiency, compliant custody, and balance sheet optimization.
