Securitize Brings STAC to Solana

Securitize expanded its Tokenised AAA CLO Fund, known as STAC, to the Solana blockchain. The fund gives eligible buyers tokenized exposure to AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations. It also adds another regulated credit product to Solana’s growing institutional finance ecosystem.

The fund was developed with BNY, which serves as custodian for the underlying assets. BNY Investments also acts as sub-adviser for the fund. Through this structure, Securitize links traditional credit management with blockchain-based ownership and settlement.

STAC focuses on U.S. dollar-denominated AAA CLO tranches from primary and secondary markets. These tranches sit at the top of the CLO capital structure. As a result, they receive payments before lower-rated sections and absorb losses after them.

Ethena Adds $250 Million to Tokenized Credit Push

Ethena Labs plans to allocate $250 million to STAC as part of its broader real-world asset strategy. The allocation ranks among the largest tokenized structured credit commitments on Solana. It also strengthens Ethena’s push beyond crypto-native collateral and hedging strategies.

Ethena has already committed $250 million to Centrifuge’s tokenized Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund. That fund, known as JAAA, launched in June 2025. Together, both commitments bring Ethena’s structured credit exposure to about $500 million.

The firm has expanded its use of institutional-grade assets since early 2026. It wants to support synthetic dollar products with deeper and more scalable collateral pools. Therefore, tokenized credit now plays a bigger role in its onchain finance strategy.

CEPT Stock Moves as RWA Momentum Builds

Cantor Equity Partners II trades under the ticker CEPT on Nasdaq. The company has announced a proposed business combination with Securitize. That link places CEPT near the market reaction to Securitize’s latest tokenization expansion.

CEPT rose 0.55% to $11.83, while early price action showed sharp swings. Buying pressure kept the stock above its intraday support zone. The move showed steady demand after the STAC and Ethena announcement reached the market.

The broader context also supports the deal’s relevance. Global CLO issuance exceeds $1.3 trillion, making the market a major part of institutional credit. By bringing CLO exposure onchain, Securitize aims to reduce settlement friction and widen digital access.
