SOL STRATEGIES’ HOUDINI REPORTS OCTOBER TRANSACTION VOLUME OF US$106 MILLION, UP 19% FROM SEPTEMBER

Houdini Completes Move to Houdini.com and Unveils Complete Website and App Rebranding and Redesign

TORONTO, November 12, 2026 – SOL Strategies Inc. (CSE: HODL) (NASDAQ: STKE) (“SOL Strategies” or the “Company”), a digital asset infrastructure company focused on high-performance blockchain and privacy technologies, today announced that Houdini Swap (“Houdini”), its wholly-owned, non-custodial, privacy-focused cross-chain swap aggregator, processed approximately US$106 million (approximately $150 million CAD) in transaction volume in October 2026, a 19% increase from approximately US$89 million in September 2026. The Company also announced that Houdini has moved to its new primary domain, houdini.com, unveiling a complete website and app rebranding and redesign.

October’s volume reflects another period of continued month-over-month growth since the Company completed its acquisition of Houdini on June 1, 2026, supported in part by new distribution partnerships.

Michael Hubbard, CEO of SOL Strategies, said: “Houdini delivered another exceptional month of volume growth in October, highlighting the success of the initiatives we’ve implemented since completing this acquisition. The move to houdini.com, a refreshed user interface and new logo, reflect what Houdini has become: a modern, privacy-first digital asset platform. We believe this infrastructure, along with the actions we’ve taken, position Houdini for accelerated growth well beyond swaps.”

Houdini Moves to Houdini.com

On November 10, 2026, Houdini moved its website, app and documentation from houdiniswap.com to houdini.com:

• houdiniswap.com → houdini.com
• app.houdiniswap.com → app.houdini.com
• docs.houdiniswap.com → docs.houdini.com

The new domain provides a concise name that directly conveys the full scope of the Houdini brand and product. The previous name was tied to Houdini’s legacy functions, limiting the brand to a single feature. Today, Houdini supports a much wider range of capabilities including sending, paying and splitting, in addition to swapping, with further features planned for the future.

Full Rebrand and Redesign

Concurrent with the domain migration, Houdini unveiled a complete rebrand and redesign of both its website and app, repositioning Houdini from its origins as a crypto-native project to a modern digital asset platform, while highlighting its status as a subsidiary of a larger, Nasdaq-listed company.

A Simpler Swap Experience

• Two route types instead of three: Private, Standard and decentralized exchange (DEX) routes have been consolidated into Private and Standard.
•  Private, Houdini’s flagship privacy route, is now featured prominently.
• Standard  covers standard exchange routes and displays an on-chain DEX route only when no exchange route is available. Houdini’s DEX technology remains in place for this fallback and for its extended three-leg memecoin routes.
• Easier way to connect and trade from any wallet 
• Houdini Pay has moved from the site header into the swap widget.
• Numerous quality-of-life and interface improvements, with additional upgrades expected shortly after the migration.

No Action Required for Partners or Users

Houdini’s partner API, widget and integrations remain unchanged, and partners and users do not need to take any action. All existing links and bookmarks automatically forward to the corresponding page on houdini.com.
