Anchorage Digital, a licensed U.S. crypto bank, has announced a partnership with Solana's lending protocol Kamino and SOL treasury firm Solana Company to launch institutional-grade collateral management services. According to Foresight News, this service will enable institutions to use SOL staked natively on the Solana blockchain as collateral for loans while keeping assets stored with the compliant custodian, Anchorage Digital Bank.
Under this structure, Anchorage Digital acts as the collateral manager, ensuring assets are securely stored in borrowers' segregated accounts through a tri-party account control agreement while earning staking rewards. Anchorage Digital will provide 24-hour automated monitoring of loan-to-value ratios, margin scheduling, and rule-based liquidation execution. Cosmo Jiang, a director at Solana Company, stated that this scalable model offers a blueprint for treasury firms and institutional investors to engage in on-chain finance.
