SOL Strategies Inc., one of the first publicly traded companies dedicated to growing and building the Solana economy, today shared that Balance, Canada’s oldest and largest digital asset custodian, has integrated the Company’s Orangefin validator as a top Solana staking provider for its custody clients. As a publicly traded Canadian company under OSC and SEC oversight, SOL Strategies brings regulatory accountability and transparency to validator operations that private providers are not subject to. Balance evaluates staking providers independently, without commercial arrangements or referral fees, and after assessing Solana validators on uptime reliability and third-party compliance certifications, Balance selected Orangefin for clients looking to stake SOL. Orangefin has consistently maintained 100% uptime through the most recent reporting period, and the validator operates under SOL Strategies’ institutional compliance framework, which includes ISO 27001, SOC 1 and 2 Type 2 certifications.
“Balance approached this the right way,” said Michael Hubbard, Interim CEO of SOL Strategies. “We believe Orangefin’s track record on uptime, backed by independent audits, is exactly what a regulated custodian needs to be confident in a recommendation.” “The fact that it’s a Canadian institution choosing a Canadian-built validator matters to us too.” “By identifying providers that meet rigorous uptime and third-party compliance standards, we continue to safeguard the assets of our clients,” stated George Bordianu, co-founder and CEO of Balance.
