GK8 by Galaxy, a leading institutional-grade digital asset custody platform, announced on July 31, 2025, the expansion of its secure decentralized finance (DeFi) access to include the Solana blockchain. This development allows financial institutions and crypto funds to securely interact with Solana-based DeFi protocols such as Orca, Radium, and Jupiter. GK8's trusted, policy-controlled infrastructure, already used for Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible chains, now supports Solana.
The expansion addresses the growing institutional demand for access to Solana's high-speed, low-cost ecosystem as DeFi becomes a vital component of digital asset strategies. GK8 provides a seamless, compliant, and secure way to engage with Solana DeFi applications without relying on third-party wallets or compromising governance controls. All DeFi activity on Solana is routed through GK8's proprietary uMPC framework, ensuring institutional-grade security and compliance.
Lior Lamesh, Co-Founder & CEO at GK8 by Galaxy, stated that crypto funds are increasingly using DeFi for yield and as part of their core trading and investment operations. This integration allows clients to act on new opportunities without compromising usability, security, or compliance, further solidifying GK8's position as a comprehensive solution for institutional DeFi engagement across multiple ecosystems.
