Jito Foundation and Solana Company said they are partnering to strengthen institutional-grade Solana infrastructure in Asia-Pacific. The companies plan to run BAM validators across Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and South Korea using Pacific Backbone, and to jointly develop institutional JitoSOL staking (locking crypto to earn rewards) products for compliant capital allocators. The move targets regional demand for regulated digital asset access and infrastructure that can support institutional participation on the Solana blockchain.
