Solstice Finance, an on-chain asset management protocol backed by $1 billion investment company Deus X Capital, has officially launched USX, the Solana-Native Stablecoin, along with the Aldevault program.
This launch is a critical step for the Solana ecosystem, bringing dedicated stubcoins designed for native yield, transparency and seamless complexity. At the time of release, a total value lock (TVL) of over $160 million was placed in the protocol. The initiative has secured support from major institutions, including Galaxy Digital, MEV Capital, Bitcoin Suisse, Auros and Deus X Capital.
Addressing the Stablecoin gap in Solana
Stablecoins are the cornerstone of defi. However, most of the sector’s major assets were not initially designed for the Solana ecosystem. This has led to fluidity flowing from Solana to other ecosystems in search of stronger yields, according to Solstice Finance CEO and co-founder Ben Nadareski.
Commenting on the development, Solstice CEO and co-founder Ben Nadareski said:
 “Legacy Stubcoin maintains a majority market share, but there was no single major stubcoin born natively in Solana. Currently, there is no dominant high-native stubcoin in the ecosystem. The advantage of frictionless trading in accessing facility-grade yields specific to the protocol.”
Lily Liu, president of the Solana Foundation, said the launch of Solstice has opened new doors for developers, investors and everyday users within the ecosystem. She emphasized that by bringing a sustainable and true yield on-chain, Solstice will help strengthen Solana’s position as a major destination for obligation.
Key features of the Solstice Ecosystem
Some key components: Anchors and Structure Finance ecosystem. Its core is USX, a synthetic stub coin that is completely backed by a 1:1 collateral ratio and protected through real-time proof provided by ChainLink. Complementing this is AldeVault, the protocol’s flagship yield engine that leverages Delta-Neutral Trading Strategies to provide stable returns. In 2024, Vault achieved a performance of 21.5% per year, and has maintained a perfect track record with no monthly losses since its establishment.
Looking ahead, SolStice plans to introduce SLX, a native utility token designed under a community-first model that intentionally avoids venture capital allocation to prioritize long-term alignment with users. Behind these innovations is a specialized team of over 30 contributors from backgrounds from major organizations, including Solana Lab, Coinbase, Galaxy Digital, BlackRock, Deloitte and UBS, bringing deep experience from both cryptocurrency and traditional financial sectors.
How users join
USX holders can deposit with Aldevault to receive EUSX, representing the share of the protocol’s net asset value. This setup allows both retailer and institutional participants, ranging from $5 dollar wallets to $50 million in funds, to access a transparent, delta-neutral yield strategy in an unauthorized environment.
Currently, Solstice is working with more than 30 ecosystem partners to promote integration that further expands Solana’s Defi opportunities.
