Galaxy Digital has officially integrated yield-bearing sUSDS tokens as collateral for its corporate lending operations. Simultaneously, the Sky protocol executed a token burn that removed 2.86 million SKY tokens from circulation to adjust its economic structure.
Why it matters
Accepting yield-bearing tokens as collateral allows professional borrowers to optimize opportunity costs while linking revenue directly to the native token's performance. This shift reflects a broader effort to integrate asset yield vaults into ecosystem financing models.
Sky generated $30.8 million in gross revenue during September 2026, representing a 49.7% year-over-year increase. Active collateral-backed financing within the ecosystem reached $375 million by the end of the month.

Galaxy Digital
A financial services and investment management firm specializing in the digital asset and blockchain technology sector.

The details

Macro View
This integration follows the structural requirements established by the protocol's Stage 2 framework for burning tokens and managing reserves. It marks a shift from historical revenue models toward a system that links capital allocation directly to protocol-specific economic mechanics.
Professional borrowers and institutional participants may see shifts in how collateral is valued and utilized within lending ecosystems. These protocol adjustments affect the broader liquidity landscape for those holding or leveraging native ecosystem tokens.
The takeaway
These changes demonstrate a move toward tighter integration between treasury management and native token utility in decentralized finance. Investors should monitor how these collateral requirements affect revolving credit utilization in the coming quarter.
