BOCA RATON, FL, Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corp.

DFDV Demonstrates Amplified SOL Exposure and Strong Trading Liquidity
For the week ended August 21, 2026, DFDV ranked among the most actively traded publicly listed SOL digital asset treasury companies. DFDV led the category in trading volume as a percentage of market capitalization and, on multiple trading days during the week, generated the highest absolute dollar trading volume, based on Company analysis of publicly available market data.
“DFDV is designed to provide investors with leveraged exposure to Solana, and we believe the recent trading activity demonstrates that investors increasingly understand that value proposition,” said Joseph Onorati, Chief Executive Officer of DeFi Development Corp. “Our equity has become one of the most liquid ways to express that view within the SOL DAT category, while our treasury continues to generate differentiated organic yield. When SOL performs well, we believe DFDV has the potential to amplify that performance. Month-to-date, DFDV’s return has been more than twice that of SOL, while quarter-to-date DFDV has outperformed SOL by 1.8x — a demonstration of the leveraged SOL exposure DFDV is designed to provide. That combination of amplified SOL exposure, strong trading liquidity, and differentiated treasury yield is the DFDV model at work.”
The Company expects the newly acquired SOL to contribute additional staking and onchain revenue as it is deployed across DFDV’s treasury infrastructure.
