Why SOL Strategies bought Houdini Swap and Darklake Labs

"The real value unlock is when you have a public company that is focused on building in the whole economy that exists on chain," SOL Strategies (@solstrategies) CEO Michael Hubbard (@m_hbbrd) said in a Water Tower Research (@WTR_Research) fireside chat this week, framing the firm's recent acquisitions as a vertically integrated Solana infrastructure stack.

Hubbard said HoudiniSwap supports 120 blockchains with private cross-chain swaps and is growing quickly in volume.

The deals: Darklake Labs (@darklakefi) (closed April 14 for $1.2M) brings Zyga, a zero-knowledge system enabling private execution on Solana.
@HoudiniSwap (agreed May 4 for $18M, closing by May 29 pending CSE approval) processed $2.5B in cumulative volume and $13M revenue in 2025.

Well done @SuperteamUK 👏 for such a great event.

Markets move. ZK proofs don’t.

New oracle price? New proof.
Interest rate update? New proof.
FX move? New proof.

Zyga changes that. 🧵

@vitorpy I wonder if “trauma bond” and “cult leader” are a part of the machine engine, as it worked well for us 😅😅

[SOL Strategies @solstrategies]

🔒What does privacy actually mean for on-chain markets?

Following the acquisition of Darklake, our CEO @m_hbbrd sat down with @vitorpy & @DuchessofSOL for a fire discussion on ZK tech, capital markets & what it unlocks next for the Solana ecosystem.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in!
