September looms as a risk month for stocks, Yardeni says
DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) announced the launch of DFDV UK, which the company described as the first Solana-focused public treasury vehicle in the United Kingdom. The entity was formed through the acquisition of Cykel AI (CYK.L) by a group of investors, with DeFi Development holding approximately 45% equity alongside local management and board members.
The launch represents the initial execution of DeFi Development’s Treasury Accelerator strategy, designed to expand Solana-focused treasury vehicles across global markets. The company stated it has five additional vehicles in development at various stages.
"DFDV UK is a milestone: the first Solana treasury vehicle in the United Kingdom and a proof point for our global expansion strategy," said Joseph Onorati, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Development Corp. "This launch underscores our commitment to growing Solana per share (SPS) and to supporting the Solana ecosystem globally."
DeFi Development operates with a treasury policy that allocates its principal holdings to SOL, the native token of the Solana blockchain. The company provides investors with exposure to SOL while participating in the Solana ecosystem through holding, staking, and operating validator infrastructure to generate staking rewards.
The company also operates an AI-powered platform serving the commercial real estate industry, providing data and software subscriptions to multifamily and commercial property professionals. DeFi Development reports serving more than one million web users annually, including property owners, developers, and lenders representing billions of dollars in debt financing.
