What to know:
- Solmate has signed a non-binding term sheet to acquire RockawayX in an all-stock deal, creating an institutional crypto group with over $2 billion in assets.
- The combined company will fold RockawayX's infrastructure, liquidity, and asset management units into Solmate, with Solmate CEO Marco Santori as CEO and RockawayX chief Viktor Fischer as executive chairman.
- The deal aims to create a crypto group that can earn yield on its treasury, back Solana-based markets, and provide services for high-frequency traders and everyday on-chain transactions.
Abu Dhabi-focused Solana infrastructure firm Solmate (SLMT) has signed a non-binding term sheet to acquire digital asset firm RockawayX in an all-stock deal that would create an institutional crypto group with more than $2 billion in assets and third-party stake.
The combined company would fold RockawayX’s infrastructure, liquidity and asset management units into Solmate, which is shifting from a passive digital asset treasury to an operating crypto business, and keep on trading under the SLMT ticker.

The deal, expected to close in the first half of 2026, still requires definitive agreements, regulatory clearance and shareholder approval.
Solmate CEO Marco Santori would lead the group, while RockawayX chief Viktor Fischer would run the RockawayX subsidiary and serve as Solmate’s executive chairman according to a press release shared with CoinDesk.
RockawayX, the blockchain arm of venture capital firm Rockaway Capital, brings onchain market making, lending and "solver" services used by major cross-chain bridges like Wormhole and Debridge, plus venture and credit funds that together oversee about $1.04 billion, along with around $1.1 billion staked to its validators.
Solmate, which rebranded from Brera Holdings earlier this year, plans to use that stack to earn yield on its treasury and to back Solana-based markets that handle tokenized stocks, treasuries and futures.
The two firms unveiled Solana infrastructure in the U.A.E. in November allowing local investors can stake assets inside the region.
"As the combined entity’s staked treasury grows, so would its ability to land transactions for high-frequency traders - all in addition to generating staking yield," the release said. "Solmate's and RockawayX’s infrastructure would provide these same services, not only for trading, but for everyday onchain transactions like consumer payments as well."
SLMT shares traded almost 6% higher at $2.51 in pre-market trading on Thursday.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token
The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
