Solana (CoinDesk)
What to know:
- Keel has launched a $500 million campaign to attract real-world assets (RWAs) to the Solana network.
- The initiative, called the Tokenization Regatta, offers capital allocation and support to selected projects issuing tokenized assets on Solana.
- More than 40 institutions have shown interest, Keel contributor Cian Breathnach said.
Keel, an onchain capital allocator of the Sky ecosystem focusing on Solana SOL$130.89, has launched a $500 million campaign to draw real-world assets (RWAs) to the network, part of a broader effort to grow Solana’s footprint in decentralized finance.
The initiative, dubbed the "Tokenization Regatta" and announced at Solana Breakpoint in Abu Dhabi, aims to appeal to tokenized asset issuers through a competitive process, Keel said in a press release shared with CoinDesk. Selected projects will receive direct funding and support for issuing RWAs such as debt, credit or funds on Solana.

Cian Breathnach, a contributor to Keel, said more than 40 institutions have already expressed interest.
"There is a great appetite for asset issuers to deploy on Solana, but what’s been missing is the buy side at a scale that makes that compelling from a business perspective," he said. "With the Regatta, we’re solving that pain point for issuers, and, in the process, unlocking a new wave of tokenized assets for the Solana ecosystem."
Keel operates as an independent organization within the Sky ecosystem, formerly known as MakerDAO, using reserves from Sky’s $6 billion decentralized stablecoin, USDS. Its mission is to allocate into assets that generate yield, channeling the proceeds back to Sky and USDS token holders. The $500 million in available allocations is part of Keel’s broader roadmap to channel up to $2.5 billion into Solana-based tokenized finance.
Keel's Regatta mirrors a similar effort by DeFi lender Spark, another Sky member, which invested $1 billion from Sky's reserves in tokenized assets earlier this year.
Applications for the first phase open on Thursday, with two tracks available: one for issuers ready to deploy in early 2026 and another for those still building infrastructure.
A judging panel from Keel, Sky’s Risk Council and Kinetica Research will evaluate entries based on quality of tokenization, yield potential and liquidity.

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base
The post Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kalshi, the US-regulated prediction market exchange, rolled out a new program on Wednesday called KalshiEco Hub. The initiative, developed in partnership with Solana and Coinbase-backed Base, is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to a growing ecosystem around prediction markets. By combining its regulatory footing with crypto-native infrastructure, Kalshi said it is aiming to become a bridge between traditional finance and onchain innovation. The hub offers grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to selected projects. Kalshi also announced that it will support native deposits of Solana’s SOL token and USDC stablecoin, making it easier for users already active in crypto to participate directly. Early collaborators include Kalshinomics, a dashboard for market analytics, and Verso, which is building professional-grade tools for market discovery and execution. Other partners, such as Caddy, are exploring ways to expand retail-facing trading experiences. Kalshi’s move to embrace blockchain partnerships comes at a time when prediction markets are drawing fresh attention for their ability to capture sentiment around elections, economic policy, and cultural events. Competitor Polymarket recently acquired QCEX — a derivatives exchange with a CFTC license — to pave its way back into US operations under regulatory compliance. At the same time, platforms like PredictIt continue to push for a clearer regulatory footing. The legal terrain remains complex, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders over whether these event contracts count as gambling, not finance. This is a developing story.
