Solana Treasury Firm Expands SOL Holdings and Staking Strategy With $2.7M Purchase

Solana’s on-chain fundamentals gained a major vote of confidence on Thursday as Florida-based DeFi Development Corp (DFDV) announced it had expanded its SOL SOL treasury by acquiring 17,760 additional tokens. The purchase, valued at approximately $2.72 million, was executed at an average price of $153.10 per token. This move aligns with the company’s stated long-term strategy of compounding SOL holdings and staking rewards.
Following this acquisition, DeFi Dev Corp’s total holdings reached 640,585 SOL and SOL equivalents, representing a U.S. dollar value of around $98.1 million. Based on the company’s last reported total of 14,740,779 shares outstanding, the current SOL-per-share (SPS) stands at 0.042, or roughly $6.65 per share using the day’s price data.
All newly acquired SOL will be staked with a variety of validators, including DeFi Dev Corp’s own infrastructure on the Solana network. This approach enables the company to earn native yield through staking rewards and validator fees, while directly contributing to Solana’s decentralization and operational resilience.
DeFi Dev Corp has positioned itself as the first public company to make Solana the centerpiece of its treasury strategy. In addition to accumulating and staking SOL, it is also actively engaged in decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities and ecosystem participation. The company’s treasury strategy offers shareholders direct economic exposure to the token while supporting Solana’s application-layer development.
At the time of writing, SOL was trading at around $150.75, down 1.6% in the past 24-hour period, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model. Meanwhile, the broader crypto market, as gauged by the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), is up 0.13% in the same period.

Crypto Trading Firm Keyrock Buys Luxembourg’s Turing Capital in Asset Management Push

Crypto trading firm Keyrock said it’s expanding into asset and wealth management by acquiring Turing Capital, a Luxembourg-registered alternative investment fund manager.
The deal, announced on Tuesday, marks the launch of Keyrock’s Asset and Wealth Management division, a new business unit dedicated to institutional clients and private investors.
Keyrock, founded in Brussels, Belgium and best known for its work in market making, options and OTC trading, said it will fold Turing Capital’s investment strategies and Luxembourg fund management structure into its wider platform. The division will be led by Turing Capital co-founder Jorge Schnura, who joins Keyrock’s executive committee as president of the unit.
The company said the expansion will allow it to provide services across the full lifecycle of digital assets, from liquidity provision to long-term investment strategies. «In the near future, all assets will live onchain,» Schnura said, noting that the merger positions the group to capture opportunities as traditional financial products migrate to blockchain rails.
Keyrock has also applied for regulatory approval under the EU’s crypto framework MiCA through a filing with Liechtenstein’s financial regulator. If approved, the firm plans to offer portfolio management and advisory services, aiming to compete directly with traditional asset managers as well as crypto-native players.
«Today’s launch sets the stage for our longer-term ambition: bringing asset management on-chain in a way that truly meets institutional standards,» Keyrock CSO Juan David Mendieta said in a statement.

Gemini Shares Slide 6%, Extending Post-IPO Slump to 24%

Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has seen its shares tumble by more than 20% since listing on the Nasdaq last Friday.
The stock is down around 6% on Tuesday, trading at $30.42, and has dropped nearly 24% over the past week. The sharp decline follows an initial surge after the company raised $425 million in its IPO, pricing shares at $28 and valuing the firm at $3.3 billion before trading began.
On its first day, GEMI spiked to $45.89 before closing at $32 — a 14% premium to its offer price. But since hitting that high, shares have plunged more than 34%, erasing most of the early enthusiasm from public market investors.
The broader crypto equity market has remained more stable. Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is flat over the past week. Robinhood (HOOD), which derives part of its revenue from crypto, is down 3%. Token issuer Circle (CRCL), on the other hand, is up 13% over the same period.
Part of the pressure on Gemini’s stock may stem from its financials. The company posted a $283 million net loss in the first half of 2025, following a $159 million loss in all of 2024. Despite raising fresh capital, the numbers suggest the business is still far from turning a profit.
Compass Point analyst Ed Engel noted that GEMI is currently trading at 26 times its annualized first-half revenue. That multiple — often used to gauge whether a stock is expensive — means investors are paying 26 dollars for every dollar the company is expected to generate in sales this year. For a loss-making company in a volatile sector, that’s a steep price, and could be fueling investor skepticism.
