For me, the biggest synergy was that Solmate brings its SOL treasury to the table, and we bring all the underlying infrastructure to power that treasury and beyond.\n\nWe already have engineering and data centers in Europe, and we’ve just launched a data center here in the UAE.\n\nWe have a liquidity business – we run online trading, lending, and on-chain market-making, which is also part of our UAE vision around staking and trading. And then, we have asset management, an investment business that becomes even more complementary as we tokenize more assets. It’s a perfect synergy.\n\nSo I said, we have to do the Solmate merger – it was an obvious decision.\n\nFrom Marco:\n\nWhy is SOL the treasury asset of choice?\n\nIt doesn’t make any sense to pick a chain that isn’t on a growth trajectory. You want to pick a chain where developer interest and fundamentals are growing, but where the price is also still volatile.\n\nThat volatility drives volume, which drives investor interest, and it allows us to run more complex capital strategies and ultimately accumulate more SOL.\n\nBut the most important reason is: Solana is natively yield-generating, and it generates yield at a pretty impressive rate. You can contrast that with Bitcoin, which is a fantastic treasury asset – but it’s kind of designed not to do anything. Over the last decade, Bitcoin’s development has largely ossified. It’s stood still and become what it has always been, with very little interest in changing.\n\nYou can’t stake Bitcoin in a risk-free way, and you certainly can’t earn 6% on Bitcoin like you can with SOL.\n\nSo SOL is a treasury asset that we think is really powerful: it’s on a growth trajectory, and we like the underlying volatility. But even then, we realized that was only half the business from Solmate’s perspective, which is where RockawayX comes in.","medias":[{"type":"image","height":964,"width":1280,"source_url":"https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G70S3g7aYAASsbZ.jpg","url":"https://imagedelivery.net/QfusoZHYNy-9u4gTHc1XMg/8705c334-33a9-41a7-e6a5-cc034b790900/original"},{"type":"image","height":960,"width":1280,"source_url":"https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G70S3uwaMAQZqYQ.jpg","url":"https://imagedelivery.net/QfusoZHYNy-9u4gTHc1XMg/47d77fde-f7cc-4565-5121-60ee44426900/original"}]},"media_type":5,"platform_created_at":1765379965,"parent_content_id":"","quote_content_id":"","ext":{},"created_at":1765381450}
