Vanguard, a world-leading investment manager with $12T in AUM and a 50-year history, holds a position of $1.45M (1.2%) in Solana Company $HSDT as of January 30, 2025.
Institutions don't chase trends. They invest in infrastructure and expanding markets.
Vanguard’s client position in $HSDT reflects the growing ecosystem of Solana and the fundamentals supporting $HSDT’s active management business model.
This investment marks a significant shift for an institution that historically opposed blockchain. Here's how Vanguard's position evolved:
In two years, Vanguard completely reversed their outlook on the crypto industry and blockchain technology. During this period, institutional capital has captured nearly 30% of Bitcoin's circulating supply. Vanguard's crypto adoption occurred in December 2025 during a market drawdown after $1T was wiped from crypto market cap.
They didn't adopt the hype. They adopted the infrastructure.
As institutions continue to educate investors on blockchain technology, they're analyzing the industry for strategic opportunities.
Digital asset products have become a key component of institutional offerings, with leading platforms like Solana and Ethereum available through ETFs and digitized asset tokens.
Among top crypto infrastructure platforms, Solana represents a high-performing smart contract ecosystem built for consumer-scale applications.
In the first month of 2026, Solana daily active users have increased over 100%.

Built in 2017, Solana has proven multiple use cases with their fast, cheap, and scalable technology.
Leading institutions including J.P. Morgan, Fidelity, Visa, Morgan Stanley, and Western Mutual have recently partnered with Solana, recognizing its market share, infrastructure capabilities, and ecosystem development.
Solana Company formalized its commitment to the Solana ecosystem through a Letter of Intent with the Solana Foundation, agreeing to support ecosystem growth and commit all $HSDT on-chain activity exclusively on Solana.
This collaboration positions Solana Company ($HSDT) as a publicly-traded company with a demonstrated commitment to the Solana ecosystem.
We are proud to support Solana through Digital Finance as we continue to bridge Internet Capital Markets across retail and institutional investors.
When Vanguard clients allocate capital to Solana infrastructure, it signals that blockchain has crossed from experimental technology to institutional-grade infrastructure.
This story isn't just "Vanguard clients invest in Solana."
The story is that a conservative, industry-leading asset manager has determined that Solana’s infrastructure is mature enough to allow clients to invest in Internet Capital Markets.
