Crypto exchange Kraken voted against a Solana governance proposal. The proposal seeks to speed up the reduction in SOL’s supply growth by increasing SOL inflation’s disinflation rate from the current -15% per year to -30% per year. Kraken’s opposition could affect the proposal’s chances of being approved.

Solana’s governance vote to reduce inflation is nearing its deadline, with support at 67.88%, narrowly above the 66.7% threshold required to pass. Major staking providers including Figment and Everstake have voted against, arguing that faster disinflation would cut SOL issuance and reduce staking yield. Solana’s DAT “Solana Company (HSDT)” also opposed the proposal, citing the need for consistent rules at a key moment for institutional adoption. By contrast, leading DeFi protocol Jupiter cast all its votes in favor, and the proposal’s passage would lower SOL’s annualized staking APY and could affect capital retention and smaller validator operations.
