Solana Company has started building a high-speed infrastructure network across the Asia-Pacific markets.
The initiative signals a deeper push into regional staking, validation, and trading services.
Executives said the expansion positions SOL for its next super cycle.
The company expects the buildout to strengthen institutional access across key Asian financial hubs.
Pacific Backbone strengthens Solana staking and trading infrastructure
According to a press release, the project, called Pacific Backbone, will link Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong.Â
Management said the network will operate a low-latency cluster for institutional users. Construction will begin immediately, with optimization and product launches expected within 18 months.
Executives stated that Pacific Backbone targets market makers and high-frequency trading firms. They said the network will reduce latency and limit reliance on external infrastructure providers.
Engineers will deploy advanced hardware across each regional data center.
The company confirmed the cluster will support validators, staking pools, and trading desks.
Planned services include DeFi tools, liquid staking, and automated market makers. The firm will also deliver execution services for finance partners operating in Asia.
Joseph Chee said the expansion prepares Solana for long-term growth. He described the plan as positioning SOL for the next super cycle.
Solana currently processes over 3,500 transactions per second. The blockchain also supports millions of daily active wallets.
HSDT backs expansion with treasury and funding strategy
HSDT, which trades on Nasdaq, is backing the infrastructure expansion. Pantera Capital and Summer Capital co-led a $500 million funding round.
Cosmo Jiang said the roadmap will improve regional staking performance. He added that the strategy will diversify revenue streams across Asia.
Solana Company holds about 2.3 million SOL in its treasury. The stake is valued at more than $180 million at current prices.
The firm also partnered with Anchorage Digital and Kamino on a lending venture. The venture allows institutions to borrow against natively staked SOL.
Data shows public companies have maintained steady SOL staking levels. However, treasury valuations have declined to record lows.
HSDT shares, for instance, fell over 8% on Monday. The stock has dropped more than 90% since September to around $1.76 during the latest Nasdaq session.
