Anchorage Enables Institutions to Borrow Against Staked Solana

[bonk]

Anchorage Digital has partnered with Kamino and Solana Company to introduce a structure that allows institutions to borrow against staked Solana (SOL) without removing assets from regulated custody. The integration expands Anchorage’s Atlas collateral management platform and connects it with Kamino’s decentralized lending markets on the Solana blockchain.

Under the model, institutions can use natively staked SOL as collateral while assets remain secured at Anchorage Digital Bank, a federally chartered crypto bank. This setup allows investors to continue earning staking rewards while accessing liquidity through onchain borrowing. By keeping collateral in segregated custody, the structure removes a key barrier that has historically limited regulated institutions from participating in DeFi markets.

keeping assets in regulated custody while still using them as collateral feels like cheating the system in a good way
