BitGo Launches Expansion of Solana Staking Rewards With Marinade Labs
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BitGo, the leading custodian and prime broker for Solana, today announced the expansion of its Solana staking rewards program through a new integration with Marinade Native, one of Solana's most popular staking protocols developed by web3 software development company Marinade Labs. BitGo clients can now start staking their Solana securely from within their BitGo wallets using Marinade Native, unlocking highly competitive staking rewards while maintaining full control of their assets.
Two elements of Marinade Native set it apart from other staking options: its Stake Auction Marketplace (SAM) and its Protected Staking Rewards (PSR). When a BitGo client stakes with Marinade, they are not delegating to a validator run by Marinade. Instead, multiple validators bid on the delegated Solana. Marinade's protocol passes validator rewards back to the user, giving them a higher-than-market-average staking rewards rate. Additionally, BitGo clients retain custody of their Solana while staking with Marinade Native; staking rewards are earned while their Solana remains securely in their wallets.
Marinade's staking protocol is also embedded with protected staking rewards. This feature protects Marinade stakers, as it reimburses stakers for any unexpected underperformance of a validator in the stake pool (such as through commission changes or prolonged downtime). Validators that partner with Marinade sign onto an onchain bond with Marinade. This is done through an onchain bond created by Marinade, and each validator in the pool is required to cover 100% of the rewards lost when their uptime falls between 50% and 99%.
'BitGo is committed to providing the best infrastructure and highest potential rewards for our clients to engage with Solana's explosive growth,' said Jake O., Head of Ecosystem Sales at BitGo. 'Through our integration with Marinade, our clients can stake Solana with confidence while contributing to the decentralization and security of the network.'
'Anyone invested in the future of Solana should be staking,' said Michael Repetný, CEO of Marinade Labs. 'And when ecosystem leaders like BitGo make a fully non-custodial option available for them to do so, it makes it easier for everyone - from individuals to institutions - to tap into Solana's staking economy. BitGo clients maintain complete control of their assets while staking with Marinade and contribute significantly to the security and decentralization of the Solana blockchain thanks to the automatic delegation of their stake to a diverse set of well-vetted, high-performing validators.'
"This integration with BitGo is a testament to how far staking, especially institutional-level staking on Solana, has come. It's now a core component of institutional cryptoasset investment strategies," said Hadley Stern, CCO at Marinade Labs. "By working with a trusted qualified custodian like BitGo, we're ensuring that institutions have the secure, transparent, and non-custodial solutions they need to participate in the staking economy with confidence."
Since its launch last year, Marinade Native has rapidly grown to become one of the largest staking solutions on Solana, offering institutions and retail users a way to stake securely while reinforcing the decentralization of the Solana network. More than 4.48m Solana in TVL has been staked through Marinade Native to date.

SOL Rebounds Toward $145 as 7 ETFs Advance and DeFi Dev Corp Eyes More SOL Purchases
Solana (SOL) SOL traded at $144.14 on June 14, down 2.06% over the past 24 hours, but showed resilience as long-term institutional activity offset retail-driven weakness. Price action remains pinned near the lower end of its recent $145–$149 consolidation zone, following a broader multi-day correction across crypto markets tied to rising geopolitical tension. Despite recent weakness, two major institutional developments suggest deepening engagement with the Solana ecosystem. First, Bloomberg's James Seyffart confirmed on Friday that this week that all seven spot Solana ETF issuers — i.e. including Fidelity, Grayscale, VanEck, 21Shares, Franklin, Bitwise and Canary Marinade —submitted updated S-1 filings with the SEC. Each filing now includes staking provisions, making them structurally aligned with solana's on-chain economics. Second, DeFi Development Corp, a Nasdaq-listed Solana treasury firm, announced on Thursday that it entered into a $5 billion equity line of credit (ELOC) agreement with RK Capital. The facility allows DeFi Dev Corp to issue shares gradually to fund additional SOL accumulation, rather than relying on a single, fixed-price offering. This follows a minor regulatory setback: on Wednesday, the company applied to the SEC for the withdrawal of registration statement on Form S-3. It said it wanted to withdraw a prior S-3 filing due to technical eligibility issues flagged by the SEC. The firm said it would file a resale registration statement in the future to raise the capital it needs. Despite the filing hiccup, the company emphasized its continued commitment to growing its SOL treasury, which currently holds over 609,190 tokens — valued at more than $97 million. CEO Joseph Onorati said in Thursday's press release that the new capital structure offers a 'clean, strategic path' to scale exposure while compounding validator yield. SOL's price appears to be stabilizing as these institutional tailwinds strengthen, even as retail activity remains subdued. Technical Analysis Highlights SOL traded in a 24-hour range of $4.57 (3.08%), from $144.13 to $148.70. Initial strength faded, with price drifting toward the $144 support level. Resistance remains firm near $149, while short-term rejection hit $145.78. High-volume selling occurred between 13:41–13:47 UTC, with a sharp drop from $145.95. A volume spike at 13:23 UTC aligned with the failed breakout. Whale accumulation continues below $146, though follow-through remains limited.

Crypto Daybook Americas: Bitcoin Weathers Market Rout as Israel Hits Iran
By Francisco Rodrigues(All times ET unless indicated otherwise) Cryptocurrencies slid as Israeli airstrikes on Iran's nuclear and missile sites roiled global sentiment and sent investors fleeing risk assets. The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), a measure of the broad crypto market, lost 6.1% over 24 hours, and bitcoin (BTC), seen by some as a haven investment, dropped 2.9%. Gold futures, a more traditional refuge, rose 1.3% from their close. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the overnight attack, which also targeted Iran's top military leaders, was aimed at rolling back Iran's nuclear program and missile capabilities. Iran, which has repeatedly called for Israel's destruction, responded by launching 100 suicide drones toward Israeli territory, though a more concerted reaction is anticipated. The strike came less than 24 hours after the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran was not complying with uranium enrichment limits. The U.S. said it was not involved in the attack, which killed some of Iran's military leaders. The escalation saw risk assets across the board plunge. Japan's Nikkei dropped around 0.9%, U.S. index futures fell 1.2% and the Euro Stoxx 50 lost 1.35%. U.S. crude oil futures, on the other hand, rose more than 6% to $73, with Brent crude spiking 14% at one point. Gold surged to $3,445 per ounce, approaching its all-time high. Cryptocurrencies' declines dashed gains eked out earlier in the week on the back of ETF approval speculation. Solana's sol SOL, in particular, had rallied on reports the SEC asked ETF issuers to update their S-1 filings, potentially accelerating the launch timeline. SOL is down nearly 9.5% in the last 24 hours. 'Overnight, reports surfaced that the SEC has asked Solana ETF issuers to update S-1 filings, triggering a sharp rally in SOL,' Jake Ostrovskis, an OTC trader at Wintermute, told CoinDesk. 'Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart remain optimistic, assigning a 90% probability of approval by year-end, with potential approvals coming as soon as July or within three to five weeks of the updated filings,' Ostrovskis said. As a result, he said, the market is 'now relatively underexposed to SOL and related assets, which makes the current setup particularly interesting to watch.' Despite the optimism and growing inflows into spot crypto ETFs, with BTC funds bringing in $939 million month-to-date and ETH seeing $811 million in net inflows, investors are now focused on the Middle East. Polymarket traders are weighing a 91% chance that Iran will retaliate against Israel this month, while the perceived odds of U.S. military action against Iran jumped from a mere 4% to 28%.

After peaking above $55 billion on June 12, total OI dropped to a the month's low of $49.31 billion, according to Velo data. Binance shed over $2.5 billion overnight, alongside broad risk reduction across OKX, Bybit, Deribit and Hyperliquid. The pullback unwinds much of the steady build seen earlier this month. Options positioning also turned more defensive, with Deribit data showing the BTC and ETH put/call ratios climbing to 1.28 and 1.25, respectively. While upside strikes like $140K (BTC) and $3,200 (ETH) still hold large call interest, the majority of June 27 exposure remains out-of-the-money. The shift suggests growing demand for downside protection alongside lingering upside optionality. Funding remains broadly negative, especially across altcoins. ETH sits at –7.99% on Deribit and BTC at –1.06%. Sharp discounts persist for DOT (–15.2%), LINK (–15.1%) and 1000SHIB (–44.5%). HYPE (+8.27% on Hyperliquid) and AAVE (+9.95% on Bybit) are among the few to show long bias. Despite Tuesday's $1.16 billion in liquidations, leverage remains elevated. Coinglass data shows 90% of liquidations came from longs. As of June 13, bitcoin liquidation heatmaps highlight up to $84 million in long-side OI between $102K and $104K. These levels remain untriggered, but could amplify downside if breached.
