Scandal! DeFi Corp Gobbles Up 400,000 SOL – You Won’t Believe What They Plan Next! 🤯

What to know:

  • DeFi Development, a financial beast hungrier than a Russian official at a banquet, has just devoured 82,000 fresh SOL, pushing their treasury to the almost mythical sum of 400,000 tokens. 🍖
  • Rumor (and press release) has it some of these tokens were snatched in smoky back rooms via OTC deals with “locked” SOL. There’s locked, and then there’s “unlocked for those who know a guy.”
  • Their cunning plan: Stake it all! Yes, every single SOL, like a peasant betting his last potato, to reap the harvest of yield. One can almost smell the borscht simmering.

Once, in a land not so far, DeFi Development Corporation—who went by Janover when things were simpler and less… decentralized—found itself in possession of 400,091 glimmering Solana tokens. That’s right, this modern-day Chichikov has stockpiled enough SOL to make even the most jaded village official’s mustache twitch.

If you look at the SOL price today ($143, give or take a flutter), their piggy bank holds over $57 million in shimmering, not-quite-liquid gold. What’s so special, you ask? These aren’t just any SOL tokens; some are “locked,” as if trapped in an interminable bureaucratic maze, yet still changing hands amongst the moneyed elite via BitGo’s discreet OTC desk. Houdini would be jealous.

The grand strategy? Stake these tokens for yield! Yes, instead of gathering dust in a forgotten chest, each SOL will toil ceaselessly to produce precious, protocol-native coinage for its overlords—shoveling in the yield with all the enthusiasm of a minor tax clerk.

This buying spree emerged fresh on the heels of DFDV snatching up a validator operation earlier this week—the better to keep all SOL “in the family.” Now, every token will labor night and day to line the company coffers. Meanwhile, as DFDV counts its tokens, the peasants—er, shareholders—sigh: shares fell 3.8% Tuesday morning, as SOL itself slid a modest 2%. Who knew the pursuit of fortune could be so… deflationary? 🙃
