Solana-based treasury firm unveils liquid staking Token to expand validator operations

Date:

DeFi Development Corp. introduced its liquid staking token, dfdvSOL, to bolster its Solana validator staking operations and support broader infrastructure growth.

Solana-focused treasury firm DeFi Development Corp. has launched a liquid staking token to expand its SOL validator staking operations.

This marks the latest development from the Nasdaq-listed firm, which elevated its SOL holdings past $100 million just last month.

DeFi Development Corp. does not hold the title of the largest SOL treasury firm. On June 2, online learning company Classover revealed an agreement to secure an additional $500 million in funding to grow its SOL treasury, supplementing the $400 million previously raised.

Despite not being the largest holder, DeFi Development Corp. remained active this month. The company first secured ownership of a Solana validator and later revealed a validator collaboration with Bonk, a prominent Solana-based memecoin that holds a market cap of approximately $1.35 billion, as per CoinGecko.

DeFi Development Corp. will operate the validator node under joint oversight, while Bonk will lead the promotional efforts for the initiative.

In a statement, Parker White, CIO and COO of DeFi Development Corp., emphasized that the company’s strategy of owning and managing validators with substantial delegated stake places them at the heart of the Solana ecosystem. This approach, he noted, advances their objective of efficiently accumulating SOL to generate better risk-adjusted returns compared to simply holding SOL outright.

Exploring the Rise of Liquid Staking

DeFi Development Corp. introduced its newly developed liquid staking token (LST), dfdvSOL, on June 2, created in collaboration with Sanctum. The token is set to be incorporated into Kamino, which stands as the Solana ecosystem’s most prominent lending protocol.

Users who stake their SOL with the Solana validators of DeFi Development Corp. receive the liquid staking token (LST), enabling them to retain liquidity while earning staking rewards.

In a statement, DeFi Development Corp outlined that the partnership will pave the way for future collaboration on tokenized financial instruments. The company aims to develop stock-backed tokens and other real-world asset (RWA) representations directly on the Solana network.

Since transitioning into a Solana-focused treasury firm, DeFi Development Corp. — previously operating as Janover — has experienced a significant increase in its stock price, rising from the $0.50–$2 range to a current value of $19.78, after reaching a peak of $34.25 on May 23.
