If your dollar only yields inside a wallet dashboard, it hasn't expanded beyond crypto. Putting USX on @Zebec_HQ's payroll rails is how a Solana-native dollar shows up in operating capital. We’ll keep expanding USX utility. 🤝

The activity moved to where the infrastructure made sense. That is the simplest explanation for what is happening on @Solana. Financial products compound on fast, cheap settlement rails. You can see it in the builder layer with new products forming around primitives like USX and eUSX. Full conversation:

Loops 2.0 + @solsticefi Loops 2.0's upgraded execution engine now powers 20M+ in market size for Solstice assets, including RWA Loops like @HastraFi PRIME/USX and leverage on ELP-USX via @ExponentFinance.

Being on Korean TV is one for the books. Our CEO @ben_solstice joined Korea Economic TV Global to discuss how Solstice solves the volatility problem. Global appetite for sophisticated DeFi keeps growing, and we’re ready to meet it.

I applied the same mindset I used in building particle accelerators to finance. Strip systems to their foundations, then rethink them from first principles. Which now represents how we treat yield @solsticefi. Banks resist yield-bearing assets because they work. That should tell you everything. Full conversation here:

TradFi has yield but locks the money up. Hedge funds quarterly at best, sometimes annually, or never. Tokenized dollars solve liquidity but produce nothing. Putting them to work just locks them up again. The real opportunity is not choosing between yield and liquidity, but designing infrastructure where that tradeoff starts to disappear. More in the interview:

Solstice now powers the highest yield on Copper. Just hold USX in ClearLoop on Copper & access the best rewards on the platform. Built for institutions deploying capital at scale: sustainable & capital-efficient. Solstice is where institutions actually deploy.

Season 2 Flares are live on the Solstice Market. Supply eUSX, USX, or USDG to earn Flares or borrow against Exponent PT collateral: PT-USX and PT-eUSX maturing June 2026 and eUSX. Onchain credit markets continue to scale on Kamino.

Solstice is now one of the top 10 protocols on Solana. And the USX isn't sitting in one place. - Lending and looping: @kamino & @Loopscale - Yield trading: @ExponentFinance - Trading: @orca_so and @Raydium Internet Capital Markets at scale.

Nuclear physicist. Then VP of Global Trading at @galaxyhq, where he led the first crypto-derivative trades with global banks. Now he's building @solana's largest native stablecoin. Ben Nadareski @ben_solstice, CEO and Co-Founder of @solsticefi, takes the Proof of Talk stage this June. Solstice is building stablecoin infrastructure for the Solana ecosystem, designed to bring institutional-grade stability and liquidity to one of the fastest-growing chains in crypto. At Galaxy, Ben sat at the desk where traditional finance first touched crypto derivatives. He brokered the trades that proved global banks would engage with digital assets when the infrastructure was right. From particle physics to derivative trading desks to stablecoin architecture. The thread is always the same: complex systems that require precision to work at scale. On June 2–3 at the Louvre Palace, Ben breaks down what it takes to build stablecoin infrastructure that institutions and DeFi protocols can actually rely on. See you in the room.
