Global financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald has endorsed Solana (SOL) as a strategic treasury reserve asset for corporations, marking a significant shift from Bitcoin-centric investment models. The recommendation encourages businesses to diversify portfolios with operationally focused digital assets that support core business functions.
According to the firm’s analysis, Solana’s technological advantages—including high transaction throughput and minimal fees—make it particularly suitable for corporate applications in digital marketplaces and decentralized finance (DeFi). The report positions Solana as a practical alternative to Ethereum, citing Ethereum’s scalability constraints and elevated gas costs as barriers to efficient high-frequency transactions.
Cantor Fitzgerald has initiated coverage of several Solana-focused entities, including DeFi Development Corp., Upexi, and SOL Strategies. This move signals growing institutional confidence in Solana’s ecosystem and its integration into mainstream corporate finance strategies.
The firm concurrently highlighted adoption risks requiring corporate vigilance, including price volatility, evolving regulatory landscapes, network stability concerns, and security vulnerabilities. Companies are advised to implement robust risk management protocols when incorporating digital assets into treasury operations.
