DeFi Development Corp. launches global franchise model for Solana treasury

DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) announced the launch of its DFDV Treasury Accelerator, a franchise model designed to support regional public Solana treasury vehicles worldwide, according to a company press release.

The initiative launches with support from Kraken, Pantera, Arrington, RK Capital, and Borderless Capital, who are expected to provide investment, strategic guidance, and infrastructure for new regional vehicles. The company is developing five Treasury Accelerator regions and adding new geographies weekly.

Under the framework, DFDV will provide franchise partners with operational, strategic, and technical infrastructure including validator and asset management solutions, treasury guidance, and brand alignment while retaining equity stakes in each regional vehicle.

"This model allows us to scale globally and support SOL accumulation without taking on any share dilution," said Joseph Onorati, CEO of DeFi Dev Corp. "We’re exporting our framework for Solana treasury accumulation, while bringing global partners into the DFDV orbit, all aligned through economics, staking, and shared infrastructure."

The model includes validator revenue, equity participation, and onchain integration across franchisees, designed to support DFDV’s mission of maximizing SOL per share over time.

"Most crypto treasury vehicles today are following the MicroStrategy model. What excites us about DFDV is that they’re not just copying the playbook. They’re evolving it," said Cosmo Jiang, General Partner at Pantera Capital. "By combining validator infrastructure, capital markets innovation, and now international expansion via a global franchising model, DFDV is building something structurally different and ahead of the curve."

DFDV expects to provide updates on franchising efforts and additional partner announcements in coming weeks.
