You Won’t Believe What This Real Estate Firm Just Did With $11.5M in SOL

What You Need to Know (Before You Have a Heart Attack):

  • The once humble Solana-obsessed real estate firm, Janover, is now going by a sexier name: DeFi Development Corp. Oh, and they’ve dropped another $11.5M on SOL tokens.
  • This grand gesture is part of their master plan to cozy up with Solana after some former Kraken execs swooped in and made it their crypto playground.
  • JNVR shares? Yeah, they slipped 2.5%. SOL, on the other hand, did a little cha-cha with a 5% rise as the entire crypto market danced to a new tune.

Well, well, well. Janover (JNVR), that once-stuffy real estate fintech company, just decided to spice things up by rebranding itself to DeFi Development Corp. And why? Because they’ve spent another $11.5 million on more SOL tokens—because why not? Who doesn’t love a good crypto splurge?

This clever maneuver pushes their total SOL stash to a cool 251,842 tokens. Add in some staking rewards and you’ve got a $36.5 million crypto cocktail, priced at a modest $145 per SOL. Cheers!

Now, let’s talk about those JNVR shares. They dipped 2.5%, down to $38.3, not exactly the sky-high glory from last week when they almost touched $80. But hey, don’t cry for them just yet—the stock is still up a shocking 800% since they decided to throw their lot in with crypto. SOL? Oh, it decided to show off, rising by nearly 5% in the last 24 hours. Can you say “rally”? Oh yes, you can.

So, what’s this all about? DeFi Development Corp (formerly Janover, in case you forgot) is betting big on Solana as their shining star. They want to be the first U.S. public company with a treasury strategy that revolves around SOL, and they’re not stopping there. The new crew from Kraken is pulling all the strings here. The strategy includes snagging SOL tokens like a kid at a candy store and maybe running a few validators to keep the blockchain safe and sound.

The money for this little shopping spree came from a $42 million financing round earlier this year, which was likely the real jackpot. Now, each company share is worth 0.17 SOL—up 62% from their last crypto shopping spree. Just imagine what they’ll buy next.

Oh, and in case you’re not keeping up, they’re also planning to change their Nasdaq ticker to DFSV because, apparently, “DeFi” is the new black.

Just last week, DeFi Development Corp made a big play by partnering with Kraken. They’ll be staking part of Kraken’s SOL holdings through their own validators. Oh, and they’re getting into bed with BitGo to pick up locked tokens off the over-the-counter markets. Big moves, people. Big moves.
