[{"type":"text","content":"BOCA RATON, FL, Jan. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV) (the “Company”), the first public company with a treasury strategy built to accumulate and compound Solana (“SOL”), today announced a partnership with Hylo, a Solana native DeFi protocol, to enhance onchain yield across portions of the Company’s digital asset treasury and participate in Hylo’s points incentive program. Through this partnership, DeFi Development Corp. will deploy select assets into Hylo’s yield products, which are designed to optimize returns through capital-efficient, onchain mechanisms native to the Solana ecosystem. In addition to earning protocol-generated yield, the Company expects to accrue Hylo points, which could provide incremental upside. Hylo enables scalable, capital-efficient returns with its fully transparent architecture and risk management. The protocol is designed to serve sophisticated users seeking optimized yield and leverage trading opportunities while maintaining composability across the broader Solana DeFi stack. “This partnership with Hylo aligns directly with our strategy of actively compounding SOL and related assets through high-quality, Solana native yield opportunities,” said Joseph Onorati, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Development Corp. “In addition to enhancing yield, participation in Hylo’s points program provides additional optionality and exposure to emerging incentive structures across the Solana ecosystem.” Proceeds from this deployment are expected to be used in a manner consistent with the Company’s capital allocation framework, including funding operating expenses, supporting additional SOL accumulation, and potentially contributing to stock repurchases. By directing incremental onchain yield toward both treasury growth and shareholder-aligned initiatives, the Company aims to enhance long-term value creation further while maintaining balance sheet discipline.
