Solstice Attracts Anchorage Digital Investment After $400M TVL Milestone
Anchorage Digital has taken a strategic investment position in SLX, the native token of Solstice Finance, deepening its ties to one of Solana’s institutional yield platforms.
Solstice announced the investment on May 28, following the protocol’s recent token generation event. Anchorage Digital now joins more than 20 institutions engaged with Solstice products, including Bullish, Bitcoin Suisse AG, Fasanara Capital, and RockawayX.
The move is notable because Anchorage Digital is a federally regulated crypto platform serving institutional clients across custody, settlement, and other digital asset services. Its participation gives Solstice another regulated name as the protocol works to position itself as a yield infrastructure provider for professional investors on solana.
Solstice describes itself as a yield-as-a-service layer for institutional capital. Its products include USX, a solana-native overcollateralized stablecoin, and eUSX, an onchain delta-neutral yield strategy.
The protocol said eUSX has operated for three years and has posted positive monthly returns in every quarter since launch. That track record, Solstice said, is directly auditable by regulated allocators. Total value locked across Solstice products exceeded $400 million as of May 20, 2026.
Anchorage Digital’s connection to Solstice also runs through the Global Dollar Network, a Paxos-led consortium of more than 100 institutions working on a regulated digital dollar. Both firms participate in the network. USDG, the network’s digital dollar, is one of the collateral assets backing USX.
Nathan McCauley, co-founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital, said Solstice had built an institutional-grade record rather than relying on market narrative. He said the link through the Global Dollar Network made the investment a natural next step.
He stated:
“Onchain yield is only as credible as the infrastructure behind it. We see Solstice as the kind of infrastructure that belongs in a regulated institution’s toolkit.”
Ben Nadareski, CEO of Solstice, said institutional capital requires more than attractive returns. Investors also need custody, compliance, reporting, and operational controls they can review before allocating funds.
Ben declared:
“Anchorage Digital taking a position in Solstice is a meaningful signal for what we have been building on Solana: onchain yield infrastructure designed to meet institutional standards.”
The Anchorage Digital investment comes as institutions continue to test blockchain-based yield, stablecoin collateral, and tokenized settlement tools. For Solstice, the backing of a regulated crypto platform may help strengthen its claim that Solana can support institutional-grade financial infrastructure, not just retail trading activity.
