According to PANews, digital asset bank Sygnum allows staked Solana (SOL) to be used as collateral for loans, enabling institutional clients to retain staking rewards while obtaining liquidity. Sygnum states that staking SOL loans can lower funding costs compared to regular SOL collateral, with some staking rewards offsetting interest expenses. Sygnum employs an independent on-chain custody solution and completes staking operations through API or client manager channels. The current annualized staking yield for SOL is approximately 5.7%. This is the first time Sygnum has accepted staked assets as collateral, reflecting the growing demand from institutions for liquidity management of crypto assets.
