Spout, a Solana-based lending protocol, has raised $2 million in a strategic round. Investors include Draper Dragon, Anchorage Digital, Flow Traders, and Taisu Ventures, with strategic backing from Solana Labs. Users post tokenized US stocks as collateral and borrow USDC at a flat 50% loan-to-value ratio, paying 0% interest. Spout instead sells covered call options against the collateral each week, and uses the premium to pay lenders. Charles Schwab and Fidelity charge 12.075% a year on margin balances under $25,000. Private banks offer securities-based lending at 4% to 6%, but mainly to clients who meet high minimums. Spout is not yet on Mainnet. Its beta runs on Solana Devnet, and a private beta will launch soon. The funding will go towards growing the team and building its credit layer.
Flow Traders reported a net profit of €40.8 million for Q2 2026, with earnings per share of €0.93. The company achieved a 53% return on trading capital and maintained a 43% EBITDA margin. Despite global ETF market volumes declining 14% quarter-on-quarter, Flow Traders' ETF value traded increased 34% year-on-year, demonstrating resilience in its market-making model. Shareholders' equity reached a record €970 million, up 6% quarter-on-quarter. The digital assets business faced challenges, with net trading income down 36% year-on-year for the first half. Bitcoin's 33% year-to-date decline negatively impacted crypto market activity. Fixed operating expenses rose 15% year-on-year for the first half, driven by technology investments. The company maintained its full-year expense guidance of €235 million to €245 million.
