Galaxy Digital Adds $100 Million of sUSDS to Treasury and Accepts It as Loan Collateral
Galaxy Digital put $100 million of Sky Protocol's sUSDS into its corporate treasury and approved it as collateral for institutional loans while clients keep earning the Sky Savings Rate.
Why it matters
A Nasdaq-listed digital-asset firm is now holding Sky's yield-bearing savings token on its balance sheet and accepting it as collateral in a lending operation with an average book of about $1.4 billion, which gives that token a route into institutional credit. Because no company disclosed how much credit is actually extended against sUSDS or the collateral terms, the take-up beyond Galaxy's own holding stays unproven.

Bitcoin Insider, NewsBTC and Bitcoin.com News round the average institutional loan book to about $1.4 billion, while Crypto News Flash reports a $1.438 billion average Q2 loan book and treats the $100 million as about 7% of it.

Bitcoin.com News
Crypto News Flash cites roughly $4.37 billion deposited in the savings product while Bitcoin.com News cites sUSDS supply topping $5.52 billion, so the two figures may describe deposits and supply separately.

What happened
Galaxy Digital put $100 million of Sky Protocol's sUSDS into its corporate treasury, funded from its own balance sheet, and approved the token as eligible collateral across its institutional trading business, according to an announcement from the two companies reported on Sept. 23. Clients who pledge sUSDS keep accruing the Sky Savings Rate on the full position for the duration of a loan, and Sky says governance sets that rate and funds it from aggregate protocol surplus. Bitcoin Insider, NewsBTC and Bitcoin.com News describe the trading business as carrying an average loan book of roughly $1.4 billion, while Crypto News Flash puts the Q2 figure at $1.438 billion and says the $100 million equals about 7% of it. NewsBTC and Bitcoin.com News report that the business serves more than 1,600 counterparties. CryptoSlate said Galaxy and Sky described the treasury position as complete but gave no figure for client lending secured by sUSDS and no first completed loan, and Crypto News Flash noted that the collateral terms under which Galaxy would lend against sUSDS have not been disclosed. On the rate, Crypto News Flash put the Sky Savings Rate at 3.60% at the time of writing with about $4.37 billion deposited in the savings product, while Bitcoin.com News said sUSDS supply tops $5.52 billion.
