Conspiracy Theory Claims CIA Secretly Supports Solana
A conspiracy theory suggests that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) secretly supports Solana.
The theory hinges on Solana’s founder, Anatoly Yakovenko, being a Ukrainian immigrant who might be influenced by a powerful government agency.
Moreover, some believe Yakovenko might be Jewish, fueling speculations due to long-standing conspiracy notions about Jewish control in various sectors. This, combined with Solana’s early token sales to wealthy venture capitalists, allegedly violates Cypherpunk principles and implies CIA influence to form high-level alliances.
Critics highlight the CIA’s involvement in crypto, pointing to its Swiss cryptography company Crypto AG and surveillance of communication networks like Tor. The CIA’s projects focused on cryptocurrency, as admitted by its director, further fuel these theories.

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) removal of civil allegations against Solana for unregistered token sales is seen as a sign of CIA involvement, indicating cooperation between US agencies.
Conspiracy theorists argue this explains Solana’s rapid ascent, market success, and resilience, despite its initial dismissal as merely supported by Sam Bankman-Fried. Following Bankman-Fried’s imprisonment, Solana has surged more than 11 times since November 2022, bolstering the conspiracy narrative.
