BOCA RATON, FL, Aug. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp. (Nasdaq: DFDV) (the “Company” or “DeFi Dev Corp.”), the first US public company with a treasury strategy built to accumulate and compound Solana (“SOL”), today announced it has joined the Global Dollar Network (GDN), the world’s fastest-growing stablecoin network with unmatched economic upside. GDN is powered by the Global Dollar (USDG), a US dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Paxos Digital Singapore and Paxos Issuance Europe, that is available on Solana, Ink, and Ethereum. The company will integrate and expand access to USDG.

Unlike traditional stablecoin models, Global Dollar Network’s unique economic framework distributes network revenue to partners based on their contributions, fostering collaboration and incentivizing widespread adoption. USDG is issued and managed by Paxos Digital Singapore, a Major Payments Institution supervised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, with reserves held in US dollar deposits, short-duration U.S. government securities, and other such equivalents. This ensures USDG maintains 1:1 parity with the US dollar, and consumers can redeem their tokens for fiat at all times.

Through this partnership, DFDV gains direct access to:

• API integration and distribution of USDG across its Solana-based ecosystem.
  
  
• Governance participation via the GDN Network Advisory Committee, enabling DFDV to help shape the future of USDG adoption and strategy.
  
  
• Incentives tied to USDG custody, minting, and acceptance, designed to reward ecosystem participants that drive real-world usage.

DeFi Development Corp. will leverage this partnership to expand USDG’s availability and utility across Solana, aligning with its mission to accelerate the network’s adoption as the world’s fastest, most efficient blockchain.

“Stablecoins are the connective tissue between traditional finance and decentralized systems,” said Joseph Onorati, CEO of DeFi Development Corp. “Our partnership with Paxos and Global Dollar Network allows DFDV to help lead USDG adoption on Solana, furthering our mission to compound exposure to SOL while integrating compliant, institutional-grade stable value into the ecosystem.”
