Maple now allows institutional borrowers to use Marinade’s mSOL as collateral, enabling Solana stakers to access overcollateralized stablecoin loans without giving up staking rewards. mSOL is a liquid staking token that represents staked SOL and continues to accrue staking yield. This integration combines the strength of Maple’s $7.23 billion in institutional lending volume with Marinade’s position as the largest staking protocol on Solana. Both platforms support SOC 2 Type I compliance and work with licensed custodians, offering a secure, capital-efficient way for institutions to stake, earn, and borrow on-chain.
Access Liquidity Without Unstaking
By accepting mSOL as collateral, Maple provides institutional borrowers with a straightforward way to unlock USDC or USDT against staked SOL positions. Borrowers can continue earning staking rewards while securing stablecoin liquidity for operational needs.
This eliminates the need to unstake or exit Solana-based positions to access credit, improving flexibility and capital efficiency across the board.
Why This Matters for Institutions
The addition of mSOL to Maple’s platform builds on the protocol’s commitment to institutional-grade lending. Maple is purpose-built for professional firms, with a structure that supports:
- Loans backed by legal agreements and enforceable rights
- Assets held in qualified custody to reduce operational and contract risk
- Access to deep liquidity pools, with loans up to $250 million
- Fixed-rate terms and flexible loan-to-value structures
This is a key step in enabling composable, capital-efficient DeFi on Solana, allowing institutions to stake, earn, and borrow in one seamless flow.
How It Works
- Stake SOL via Marinade to receive mSOL
- Custody mSOL with Maple’s institutional partners
- Sign loan agreements for USDC or USDT
- Continue earning staking rewards on your mSOL while the loan is active
Borrowers retain full visibility of their assets, and the collateral remains productive throughout the loan term.
Why mSOL?
- Dual utility: Access liquidity while earning yield
- No unstaking wait times
- Trusted token: Marinade’s mSOL is the largest liquid staking asset on Solana
- Institutional-ready: SOC 2 Type I compliant and supported by major custodians
mSOL is currently the only Solana-based liquid staking token supported on Maple, chosen for its proven reliability and broad ecosystem integration.
Driving Institutional DeFi Forward
This integration with Marinade advances Maple’s goal of making onchain asset management usable at scale for institutions. It brings Solana one step closer to becoming a core infrastructure layer for professional asset managers, trading firms, and capital allocators.
Institutional borrowers can now adopt a stake-and-borrow approach, combining stablecoin credit with staking rewards on a single, compliant platform.
