Zug, Switzerland, September 24th, 2025, Chainwire
Solstice Finance, the synthetic stablecoin and yield generating protocol, today announces strategic collaboration with Chainlink, Ceffu, Copper, and Arcanum designed to strengthen Solstice’s infrastructure, cross-chain compatibilities, settlement opportunities, and market reach. This builds on top of their staking operation with $1B in assets staked with Solstice’s 9,000+ validators already.
As Solstice nears its official launch, this collaboration sits at a critical point in Solstice’s mission to build a widely used, trusted, and transparent stablecoin ecosystem.
“DeFi’s evolution is relentless, and this collaboration represents pioneers who are both shaping today’s market and accelerating the next wave of adoption. Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, secure and institutional-grade trust with Ceffu and Copper, and optimized scaling with Arcanum are driving this mission,” said Ben Nadareski, CEO and Co-Founder of Solstice Labs. “The teams at Solstice have been quietly seeing a record amount of momentum leading up to our launch and we strongly believe the Solana ecosystem is entering a period of remarkable growth.
Colin Cunningham, Global Head of Tokenized Asset Sales at Chainlink Labs said, “We’re excited to support Solstice in bringing greater transparency and institutional-grade interoperability to the stablecoin ecosystem. By integrating Chainlink Data Streams and CCIP to enable cross-chain interoperability while exploring Chainlink Proof of Reserve, Solstice ensures the highest level of interoperability, security, and transparency across markets.”
Solstice continues to gain traction among DeFi and institutional verticals with a growing network of partners across DeFi to reinforce its position as an upcoming leader within the stablecoin market. Here’s how these partners fit in:
- Chainlink is the official oracle infrastructure for Solstice, providing secure, time-tested services: the Chainlink interoperability standard via Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to unlock institutional-grade interoperability for USX to ensure no vendor lock-in, and enable zero-slippage cross-chain transactions and Data Streams for sub-second, to power low-cost settlement. By leveraging Chainlink’s battle-tested infrastructure, Solstice can offer users secure interoperability, faster execution, and enhanced functionality across its token ecosystem. Looking ahead, Solstice plans to leverage Chainlink Proof of Reserve to enable transparent collateral verification for USX.
- Ceffu will enable off-exchange settlement for Binance via their flagship product MirrorX, minimizing counterparty risk and enhancing institutional security.
- Copper will support off-exchange settlements on centralized exchanges (CEXs) to offer a wider range of efficient settlement options for institutional investors.
- Arcanum will help Solstice meet the needs of crypto-native and institutional investors through token design and economics, as well as cohesive go-to-market strategies.
“There is much more to come from us very soon. This is just the beginning and we feel incredibly confident in Solstice’s official entry into the market” Nadareski said.
USX, Solstice’s flagship stablecoin and yield protocol will be live in September 2025. For continued updates, follow @solsticefi on X and visit solstice.finance
