ChainCatcher news, Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin submitted documents to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), disclosing his personal holdings of a 4.5% stake in the digital asset vault company DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV), approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock, valued at about $600 million. DFDV primarily focuses on Solana (SOL) asset reserves and is currently the second-largest Solana vault company. Additionally, Citadel Advisors LLC and its affiliated entities hold approximately 800,000 shares of DFDV, accounting for 2.7% of the company.This disclosure makes Citadel one of the major institutional investors in DFDV and marks the traditional financial giant's further entry into the digital asset space. The documents show that DFDV accumulated $117 million worth of SOL within 8 days earlier this month and currently holds about 2.19 million SOL, valued at approximately $400 million based on market capitalization. Analysts believe that Griffin's move reflects that institutional investors are viewing crypto vaults as a new asset class, despite their valuations still being significantly affected by the volatility of the crypto market.
