The fund will be launched on Solana in collaboration with Bank of New York (BNY) Mellon, which will work as the main custodian for the fund’s underlying assets.
Ethena Labs is planning to allocate $250 million to the Securitize Tokenized AAA CLO Fund. It will be done through its native stablecoin USDe. This is one of the biggest investments in tokenized securities on the Solana blockchain till now.
“By bringing STAC to Solana, we’re making institutional-grade credit available on one of the fastest and most widely used blockchains in the world,” stated in the official thread shared by Securitize.
What is Securitize’s STAC Fund
The Securitize Tokenized AAA CLO Fund was first introduced on Ethereum in October 2025. STAC is providing exposure to the mix of USD-based collateralized loan obligations, which comes with the highest AAA credit rating.
The fund is designed in a way that investors can earn impressive returns while keeping risks low. The fund follows a strategy focused on the fundamental analysis of the underlying loans and avoids using leverage to enhance returns.
According to the official data, STAC is holding up around $102.16 million in assets under management (AUM) with a 30-day yield of approximately 4.50%.
Nick Ducoff, a leading member of the Solana Foundation, stated in the official announcement that, “Solana is the premier destination for institutional capital moving onchain. The launch of STAC on Solana highlights the growing convergence between traditional financial assets and blockchain-based markets. We’re excited to support the next generation of tokenized financial products being built on Solana.”
The arrival of STAC on the Solana blockchain is making the network a perfect fit for institutional investors in the blockchain ecosystem. With the global CLO market across the United States and Europe exceeding $1.3 trillion in outstanding issuance, the launch of STAC on Solana highlights the rising institutional demand for tokenized credit products on blockchain networks.
This expansion of STAC on Solana will be put in the leaderboard along with other assets such as the BlackRock BUIDL fund and Bitwise’s Crypto Carry Fund (USCC).
The announcement of STAC’s launch on Solana comes amid the explosive growth of tokenized funds. BlackRock BUIDL is one of the leading tokenized funds, which is also issued by Securitize. According to rwa.xyz, BUIDL is holding up around $2.64 billion in assets under management across various blockchains.
