BONK Gets $400M Boost as Sharps Technology Deploys Its Solana Treasury

TLDR:

  • Sharps Technology will stake over $400M worth of SOL into BonkSOL, BONK’s liquid staking token.
  • The company built its Solana treasury through a PIPE deal led by Cantor Fitzgerald.
  • BONK’s tools, including BONKBot and Bonk.fun, have driven $14B in trading and $28M in quarterly revenue.
  • BonkSOL currently holds 200,000 SOL staked, set to increase with Sharps Technology’s contribution.

Sharps Technology has put serious weight behind BONK’s staking platform. The Nasdaq-listed firm is moving its Solana holdings into BonkSOL. It’s a clear play to generate yield and boost its role in Solana’s growing ecosystem. 

The decision comes after the company built one of the largest corporate Solana treasuries this year. Investors are now watching how this capital shift will influence BONK’s liquidity and staking activity.

Sharps Technology Moves SOL Holdings Into BonkSOL

According to a press release, Sharps Technology will stake part of its more than two million SOL into BonkSOL, BONK’s liquid staking token. The SOL was acquired through a PIPE transaction led by Cantor Fitzgerald, giving the company over $400 million worth of SOL at current prices.

Sharps Technology is aligning its treasury strategy with BONK’s staking model. The move aims to produce staking yields while improving liquidity for BONK and the wider Solana network.

Company advisor James Zhang said this partnership allows Sharps Technology to back productive Solana teams while driving potential returns for shareholders. He also pointed out that BONK continues to push innovation and community growth within Solana.

BonkSOL currently has nearly 200,000 SOL staked. This new allocation from Sharps Technology will expand the pool, which could attract more participation from institutions looking for exposure to liquid staking in Solana.

BONK Expands Role in Solana Ecosystem

BONK has been building tools designed for Solana’s most active users. The project has rolled out BONKBot, which has processed $14 billion in trading volume, and Bonk.fun, which generated $28 million in revenue this quarter.

Core contributor Nom said BONK was created to reward Solana users and return value to its community. Partnering with Sharps Technology is seen as a step toward connecting more institutional capital to that mission.

By staking into BonkSOL, Sharps Technology also gains flexibility. The liquid staking model lets the company maintain exposure to SOL while earning rewards, an approach that many institutional players now favor.

With BONK’s 400-plus integrations across decentralized applications, the collaboration could boost usage of BONK products and improve network liquidity. This may reinforce BONK’s position as one of the most active projects in the Solana ecosystem.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
