DeFi Development Corp. Partners with Solstice to Enhance Onchain Treasury Yield
BOCA RATON, FL, Jan. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV), the pioneering public company aiming to accumulate and compound Solana (SOL) as part of its treasury strategy, has announced a strategic partnership with Solstice. This collaboration will enable DFDV to leverage Solstice’s institutional-grade YieldVault, making it the first Nasdaq-listed company to utilize Solstice's delta-neutral yield infrastructure for efficient digital asset treasury management.
Utilizing Solstice's YieldVault for Treasury Management
The partnership will allow DFDV to allocate part of its onchain treasury to Solstice's YieldVault, an innovative onchain strategy focused on yield generation. This strategy will utilize:
- Funding rate arbitrage
- Hedged staking
- Tokenized U.S. Treasury bills
The allocations within the YieldVault will be dynamically adjusted based on current market conditions. Through this approach, DFDV aims to generate non-directional yield while maintaining a conservative risk profile suitable for a publicly traded company.
Strengthening Financial Foundations and Growth Strategies
For DFDV, the onchain yield generated from Solstice is expected to support the growth of its SOL Per Share (SPS) holdings as well as cover operational expenses. As part of this collaboration, DFDV will also participate in Solstice's Flares program. This points-based system acknowledges ecosystem contributions and translates them into proportional allocations of Solstice’s governance token, SLX, at token generation, thereby rewarding long-term capital and liquidity engagement across the Solstice ecosystem.
