Ethena Labs plans to allocate $250 million to the fund, one of the largest announced commitments to tokenized structured credit in the <span>Solana<\/span> ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>STAC was developed with BNY, which serves as custodian for the fund\u2019s underlying assets and sub-adviser through BNY Investments. The fund focuses on U.S. dollar-denominated AAA-rated collateralized loan obligation tranches sourced from primary and secondary markets.<\/p>\n<p>The strategy does not use <span>leverage<\/span> and seeks to provide floating-rate structured credit exposure through a regulated tokenized fund.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, said tokenization works best when high-quality assets are paired with <span>blockchain<\/span> infrastructure that can improve speed, efficiency, and access. He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">Expanding STAC to <span>Solana<\/span> brings one of the largest fixed-income markets in the world onto one of the most active <span>blockchain<\/span> ecosystems. Ethena\u2019s planned allocation further demonstrates how tokenized real-world assets are becoming core infrastructure for the next generation of finance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3> <span>Solana<\/span> Pushes Deeper Into Tokenized Credit<\/h3>\n<p>The expansion comes as <span>Solana<\/span> attracts more tokenized asset activity. Securitize assets on <span>Solana<\/span> have increased by 75% over the past 30 days, before accounting for Ethena\u2019s planned $250 million allocation.<\/p>\n<p>That growth highlights a broader competition among major <span>blockchains<\/span> to become the preferred settlement layer for tokenized finance. If real-world asset ( <span>RWA<\/span>) markets grow into the trillions, as many industry forecasts suggest, the fight for institutional issuance could become a defining rivalry across public chains.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_823226\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-823226\" style=\"width:1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/securitize-brings-aaa-clo-fund-to-solana-as-ethena-commits-250-million_nwmk.png?X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIARQKIT2TMGZBKV2L6%2F20260615%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260615T132450Z&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Expires=600&amp;X-Amz-Signature=82091784586201b320424722ae5d3573f39e9aae868ee169dc5b40d36d1bf8e0\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-823226\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <span>rwa<\/span>.xyz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nick Ducoff, head of institutional growth at the <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/solana?utm_source=bitcoin_news\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solana<\/a> Foundation, said STAC\u2019s launch on <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/solana?utm_source=bitcoin_news\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solana<\/a> reflects the growing link between traditional financial assets and blockchain-based markets, calling <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/solana?utm_source=bitcoin_news\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solana<\/a> the \u201cpremier destination for institutional capital moving onchain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ethena founder Guy Young said tokenized real-world assets are likely to become important building blocks for scalable onchain financial systems.
