Solstice Finance is a decentralized finance protocol built on the Solana blockchain, offering a native stablecoin called USX alongside institutional-grade yield strategies through its YieldVault program.
Solstice aims to provide permissionless access to delta-neutral yields, filling a gap in Solana’s ecosystem for yield-bearing stablecoins. USX is a synthetic stablecoin fully backed 1:1 by stable collateral, leveraging Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network for real-time proof of reserves.
At launch, it attracted over $160 million in total value locked, making it one of the largest stablecoins on Solana. USX holders can participate in the YieldVault program, where they lock their tokens to receive eUSX, a yield-bearing token representing their share in the underlying fund.
To encourage user engagement, Solstice introduced a gamified rewards system called Flares. Users earn Flares by providing liquidity, completing quests, and creating content, and these points can be redeemed for rewards, including SLX, Solstice’s upcoming native utility token.

BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
