On today’s Talking Tokens episode, Jacquelyn sits down with Joseph Onorati, CEO of DeFi Development Corp. (formerly Janover), a publicly traded digital asset treasury focused on Solana.

Joseph shares his journey from gaming economies and early Bitcoin meetups to nearly a decade at Kraken, before rebranding Janover into DeFi Dev Corp. They discuss why the company chose to focus on Solana over Bitcoin or Ethereum, how it’s aiming to drive Sol-per-share growth, and what makes its strategy different from traditional ETFs.

He also talks about working with Pantera and Cantor Fitzgerald, acquiring Solana from Alameda’s bankruptcy estate, running validators, launching the dfdvSOL liquid staking token, and why treasury companies can outperform the assets they hold.
