Sonic Labs has completed a $10 million strategic token sale to Galaxy, aimed at accelerating its expansion in the U.S. market and supporting the development of its institutional-grade decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. This partnership is expected to enhance Sonic Labs' presence in the U.S. and bridge traditional finance with its high-performance blockchain infrastructure. Meanwhile, LCG v2 has started paying out yield with a current annual percentage yield (APY) of 18.91% for staking USDC deposits. Huma Finance has reopened deposits for its Huma 2.0 staking pool, offering a Classic Mode with 10.5% APY and multiple tiers of Huma Feathers rewards, and a Maxi Mode with higher feather multipliers. Huma also launched its $PST token on RateX Dex, providing boosted rewards including 2x Huma Feathers and 3x RateX Points, with caution against depositing locked $PST tokens to avoid losing feather multipliers. Additionally, Backpack Exchange has upgraded its SOL and USD lending services, offering up to 10% APY on flexible SOL through combined native staking and lending yields, and a 3.8% annual yield on USD lending backed by U.S. Treasuries. These developments highlight ongoing growth and innovation in the DeFi sector, particularly on Solana and other blockchain platforms.
