Solana Company Unlocks SOL Liquidity While Keeping Staking Yields Intact

Liquidity without compromise

Institutional players in the crypto space have long faced a trade-off: harvest staking rewards and tether capital, or stay liquid and miss out on yield. The Solana Company now aims to flip that script with a new framework that lets SOL tokens be lent out while staking rewards keep flowing. The arrangement hinges on a triad: the Solana Company, Anchorage Digital (a platform for digital-asset custody) and the DeFi protocol Kamino. The goal is to boost capital efficiency for large-scale investors.

At the core of the solution is a secure custody setup. Previously, treasury teams often had to ?unstake? or sell tokens to unlock liquidity. The new three-way model allows SOL holdings to remain safely stored with Anchorage Digital while staking rewards continue to accrue. Simultaneously, these same holdings can serve as collateral to secure loans via the Kamino protocol.

Relevance for the stock

This advancement is technically notable and has immediate implications for the Solana Company itself. The firm is the second-largest publicly traded holder of SOL tokens, with roughly 2.3 million SOL on its balance sheet. Instruments that enhance the utility and appeal of SOL for big investors directly affect the company?s asset base.

In the market, a post-crisis-like month appears to be stabilizing. After a 30-day period during which the stock fell 41.67%, the shares gained 7.81% on a weekly basis, a move market observers interpret as a response to the technical progress behind the initiative.

Strategic expansion

The move fits a broader strategy to bring Solana?s blockchain into the mainstream of traditional finance (TradFi). At the Consensus conference in Hong Kong, executives emphasized that the network?s next phase targets scaling global financial applications.

This is reflected in recent operational activity around blockchain use cases:
- Citi completed a proof-of-concept for tokenizing traditional financial instruments on Solana.
- A new liquidity bridge was established to transfer Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) from the Ethereum ecosystem to Solana.

Takeaway

The rollout of these financial instruments marks a maturation point for Solana?s DeFi ecosystem. The aim is to move beyond speculative activity toward infrastructure that can meet institutional standards. For investors, the key question remains whether these tools will be adopted by large players at meaningful scale to help stabilize the Solana Company?s stock over time.
