Undisclosed investments

LitVM announced a strategic investment in Lithium, a developer of a non-custodial lending protocol being built on its network.

The investment is intended to support its development and expand Litecoin’s use cases in decentralized finance.

Ondo invested in lending platform Spout, which allows users to use Ondo tokenized stocks as collateral for USDC loans on Solana. Borrowers do not pay interest to Spout under the platform’s model. Lender yield comes from premiums earned by selling covered-call options on the underlying shares.
