About Maple Finance
Maple Finance is an institutional credit marketplace that connects crypto borrowers and lenders through curated, on-chain lending products. In June 2025, Maple expanded to Solana, bringing its flagship yield-bearing asset syrupUSDC and institutional lending infrastructure to the Solana ecosystem via Chainlink CCIP.
For Solana users, that means access to Maple’s fixed-rate, institution-focused credit and a liquid, yield-bearing stablecoin that can move between EVM and SVM environments.
Beyond syrupUSDC, Maple is rolling out Solana-specific features for institutions, including the ability for qualified borrowers to post mSOL (Marinade’s liquid-staking token for SOL) as collateral to access overcollateralized stablecoin credit—while continuing to earn staking rewards on the underlying SOL. The expansion also includes integrations with leading Solana apps (e.g., Kamino and Orca) for trading and liquidity.
What makes Maple Finance special?
Maple takes a Solana-ready, institution-first approach: disciplined underwriting, on-chain transparency, and fixed-rate programs that target predictable outcomes for professional lenders—now delivered on Solana’s high-speed rail.
The launch of syrupUSDC on Solana gives DeFi users a liquid, yield-bearing stablecoin that plugs into Solana liquidity, while mSOL collateral unlocks borrowing for entities that stake SOL via Marinade without sacrificing staking rewards. This combination is distinct among Solana tools because it blends institutional credit infrastructure with composable DeFi assets native to Solana
