Hamilton, Bermuda, August 5th, 2025/Chainwire/--OnRe's yield-bearing asset, ONyc, is now accepted as collateral within Solana's decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. This development enables the integration of real-world yield sources into DeFi applications. Incentive programs from USDG and Ethena have launched to reduce borrowing costs, enhance yield opportunities, and support the use of real-world collateral onchain. Onchain Yield Coin (ONyc), a yield-bearing, stablecoin-backed asset issued by OnRe, is now live on Kamino, Solana’s largest DeFi money market. OnRe OnRe This integration marks the first time reinsurance-backed yield is being used as onchain collateral in Solana DeFi, opening access to real-world risk through a composable, liquid, and resilient asset. A New Form of Yield in DeFi Kamino secures over $700M in stablecoin TVL and underpins liquidity and capital strategies across the Solana ecosystem. With ONyc now live on Kamino, users can: Kamino Kamino Leverage ONyc as collateral for borrowing, lending, or looping strategies
Earn ~14%+ base yield uncorrelated to crypto volatility
Enter or exit positions 24/7 with onchain liquidity
Track NAV in real time through verifiable pricing data Leverage ONyc as collateral for borrowing, lending, or looping strategies Earn ~14%+ base yield uncorrelated to crypto volatility Enter or exit positions 24/7 with onchain liquidity Track NAV in real time through verifiable pricing data Together, these capabilities make ONyc a powerful tool for capital deployment across market conditions. By enabling lending, borrowing, and looping in a fully composable way, ONyc brings real-world yield into active use across Solana’s DeFi ecosystem. The integration is powered by Chainlink’s Onchain NAV solution, which sources ONyc’s net asset value from OnRe and delivers it in real time via Chainlink Data Streams. This ensures tamper-resistant pricing and enables secure collateralization, supporting reinsurance-backed strategies with verifiable, onchain fund valuations. Chainlink Data Streams Chainlink Data Streams “ONyc’s launch on Kamino marks a broader shift in DeFi, bringing real-world yield to Solana with the transparency, liquidity, and composability the ecosystem was built for,” said Dan Roberts, Co-Founder and CEO of OnRe. “ONyc’s launch on Kamino marks a broader shift in DeFi, bringing real-world yield to Solana with the transparency, liquidity, and composability the ecosystem was built for,” said Dan Roberts, Co-Founder and CEO of OnRe. “It introduces a new class of collateral designed to perform through market cycles and support sustained DeFi activity. Solana has become a hub for capital innovation, and Kamino continues to set the standard for how real-world assets should operate onchain.” “It introduces a new class of collateral designed to perform through market cycles and support sustained DeFi activity. Solana has become a hub for capital innovation, and Kamino continues to set the standard for how real-world assets should operate onchain.” Incentives Designed for Early Participation To encourage early adoption, OnRe is launching incentive programs in collaboration with Kamino, Global Dollar Network, and Ethena: Borrowing Incentives A $200K rewards pool is available to lower borrowing costs for users who deposit ONyc as collateral to borrow USDG on Kamino. This reduces costs and creates room for more favorable yield spreads. $200K rewards $200K rewards “This marks one of the first fully permissionless implementations of real-world yield distributed directly onchain through DeFi,” said Nick Robnett at Paxos, on behalf of Global Dollar Network. “This marks one of the first fully permissionless implementations of real-world yield distributed directly onchain through DeFi,” said Nick Robnett at Paxos, on behalf of Global Dollar Network. “We are proud to support ONyc’s launch on Solana and Kamino, leveraging USDG to advance OnRe’s vision of bringing real-world assets with intrinsic value onchain and making them accessible to a global user base.” “We are proud to support ONyc’s launch on Solana and Kamino, leveraging USDG to advance OnRe’s vision of bringing real-world assets with intrinsic value onchain and making them accessible to a global user base.” Looping Strategies Participants can also redeploy borrowed USDG to acquire additional ONyc or other assets, increasing exposure and unlocking higher returns. Incentives apply on up to $20M in total borrowing volume. Ethena Points Multiplier In addition, OnRe is offering a 5x Ethena Points multiplier to ONyc holders on qualifying sUSDe deposits, unlocking additional rewards for those providing real-world yield collateral. 5x Ethena Points multiplier 5x Ethena Points multiplier Integration of Real-World Yield Mechanisms in DeFi ONyc integrates premium-backed yield from real-world assets with decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure, enabling an onchain structure designed to support scalability and diversification beyond traditional financial instruments. “One of the most exciting things for Kamino’s users is onboarding high quality collateral assets, and ONyc is a great example of that. Access to credit and leverage for ONyc holders, powered by Kamino, is a great example of bringing DeFi utility to tokenize real-world investments,” said Mark Hull, a Kamino contributor. “One of the most exciting things for Kamino’s users is onboarding high quality collateral assets, and ONyc is a great example of that.
