Kamino appoints Michael Weisz as CEO for US expansion
Kamino Finance names Michael Weisz CEO to expand U.S. lending and credit Tap into institutional-grade DeFi as the Solana platform scales structured loans
Kamino Finance has named Michael Weisz, cofounder of Yieldstreet, as its new CEO as the Solanabased lending platform expands in the United States and targets institutional credit opportunities.
The appointment signals a stronger focus on structured lending, compliance, and relationships with larger borrowers such as funds and companies. Weisz brings experience from Yieldstreet, a firm known for alternative investments and privatemarket products.
The move also reflects a broader trend in DeFi, where protocols are adding more traditional business functions, including legal, sales, and risk teams, to work with institutional clients while continuing to operate onchain.
