GK8 Integrates Solana DeFi for Institutional Clients

GK8 integrates Solana DeFi for institutional clients – Orca, Jupiter, and other protocols are now accessible via uMPC custody without external wallets.

GK8 Launches Secure Institutional Integration With Solana DeFi Protocols

GK8, part of the Galaxy group, announced the launch of support for Solana-based protocols within its institutional digital asset custody platform.

Through this integration, financial institutions and crypto funds gained the ability to securely interact with DeFi protocols on Solana – including Orca, Jupiter, and Radium, using the same uMPC infrastructure already applied across EVM-compatible networks. The Solana solution by GK8 enables clients to use DeFi applications without relinquishing control or relying on external wallets, while fully complying with internal policies and regulatory requirements.

GK8 emphasizes that expanding support to Solana responds to growing demand among institutional players for access to high-speed, cost-efficient infrastructure, offering the following features:

• Support for transactions via MetaMask and WalletConnect for Solana and EVM protocols

• Full control when interacting with DeFi without sharing private keys

• Application of role-based and transactional policies, including multi-step approvals

• Trading, swaps, and liquidity management directly from custodial accounts

• Up to 7,500 signatures per second, allowing operations to scale without performance loss

GK8 and Focus On Regulated Scalability

The Solana integration is part of GK8’s strategy to expand its DeFi ecosystem coverage, targeting both traditional financial institutions and crypto funds. It is an extremely convenient solution, as it allows connectivity to multichain DeFi protocols without deploying additional infrastructure or relying on external wallets, preserving strict security and compliance standards.

It sounds like an ideal solution, but time will tell whether institutions find it truly beneficial and practical in real-world use cases. Stay tuned for the latest updates in crypto, blockchain, and DeFi.
