Sygnum, the pioneering encrypted bank, accepts staked Solana as collateral for loans, meeting the dual needs of investors.

Digital asset bank Sygnum announced that Staked Solana will be included in the loan collateral, allowing investors to obtain fiat liquidity while continuing to earn staking income, creating a new model of “pledge is collateral”. (Synopsis: In-depth good article: MEV pattern evolution and pros and cons on Solana) (Background supplement: Harvest $10 million in 3 months, reveal the secret Solana internal trading address operation) Sygnum, the world’s first regulated digital asset bank headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, announced yesterday (15) that it has added Staked Solana to its list of loan collateral. Enables investors to access liquidity without giving up Solana staking gains. Sygnum has previously accepted more than 20 tokens, including Solana, as collateral for loans, but the service is currently only available to high-net-worth individuals or institutional investors, said Benedikt Koedel, Head of Credit and Lending at Sygnum: “By allowing Staked Solana as collateral, we are addressing our clients’ critical need to optimize yields while maintaining liquidity.” This enhancement builds on our strong track record in cryptocurrency-backed loans, most recently a $50 million Bitcoin-guaranteed syndicated loan we made to LEDN last August.

First, Solana’s staking proceeds can be used to offset loan expenses, effectively reducing financing costs. Second, this model achieves a “double return” strategy: institutional investors can continue to earn Solana staking rewards while accessing fiat liquidity (convertible into Swiss francs, euros, Singapore dollars and US dollars), thereby maximizing asset efficiency. Sygnum notes that booming institutional demand has doubled its lending volume in the past year, strongly demonstrating the strong demand for such innovative products. On the security and technical level, Sygnum emphasizes that it provides a completely independent custody service for on-chain customer assets, rather than a staking pool scheme for mixed assets, and allows customers to self-stake Solana through various channels such as user interface, API integration or customer relationship manager, ensuring operational flexibility and asset security.
