Kamino. Jupiter. Backpack. Meteora. Phoenix. Loopscale. Raydium. That's the shift. Solana isn't simply tokenizing more assets. It's building the financial primitives around them. This was the week Solana started looking less like a collection of DeFi protocols... and more like a connected onchain financial market. 🫡

Seeker just turned your USDC into a yield-bearing balance. USDC Earn Vault is now live in Seed Vault Wallet, powered by @Kamino. Your USDC stays in your wallet while earning variable lending yield. Seeker + Kamino is a pretty interesting combo. 🫡
