Hanwha Asset, Solana Foundation to jointly work to expand digital asset ecosystem

SEOUL, Jan. 23 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Hanwha Asset Management Co. said Friday it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Solana Foundation, a Swiss-based block chain operator, for cooperation on expanding the digital asset ecosystem.

Under the MOU, the two sides will collaborate in various areas of the digital asset sector, including a potential launch of Solana-based exchange traded products, the asset manager said in a press release.

The Solana Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Zug, Switzerland, created to support and develop the Solana blockchain network.

A total of eight Solana-based exchange-traded funds are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with their combined assets under management amounting to more than US$1 billion.

"Through this partnership, we aim to take a leading role in developing digital income-oriented businesses leveraging the Solana ecosystem," said Choi Youn-jin, the chief marketing officer of Hanwha Asset Management.
