Unlocking the Future: Solana Lending Takes a Wild Turn!

by

Key Highlights

  • Behold! Institutions can now borrow on Solana while keeping their precious assets snug in regulated custody.
  • Yes, you heard it right! Natively staked SOL can be used as collateral without so much as a foot out of Anchorage Digital.

In a most splendid twist of fate (or perhaps mere coincidence), Anchorage Digital has decided to expand its Atlas collateral management platform. This isn’t just any expansion; no, dear reader! It comes through an integration with Kamino, that clever little creation born from the genius minds of the Solana Company. The outcome? A glorious opportunity for institutions to borrow on Solana, all while their assets remain cozily wrapped in the warm embrace of regulatory custody.

The official proclamation-oh, how it shimmers with authority-states that firms may now use natively staked SOL as collateral, never needing to pry it loose from the comforting grip of Anchorage Digital, that federally chartered and oh-so-qualified custodian.

NEW: For the first time, access onchain borrowing on @Solana without moving assets out of qualified custody.

Borrowing without leaving custody

At the heart of this grand integration lies a proposition so simple, one might wonder how it eluded the notice of all until now: institutions can unlock liquidity on-chain while maintaining their tight-fisted control over assets, which, let’s face it, they probably cherish more than their own pets.

Under this arrangement-a veritable symphony of financial wizardry-natively staked SOL remains cocooned in segregated custody accounts at Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. Through a tri-party collateral agreement that sounds suspiciously like a game of charades, the assets never dare leave the bank’s watchful gaze. Instead, their economic essence is reflected within Kamino’s on-chain lending markets, where borrowers may access credit as if they were stepping into a whimsical bazaar of financial delights.
