Forward Industries Expands Solana Treasury Strategy
Forward Industries increased its exposure to tokenized real-world assets through a strategic partnership with OnRe. The company also plans to deploy up to $25 million into ONyc, OnRe’s yield-bearing Solana token. Forward aims to diversify treasury revenue beyond traditional SOL staking activities.
OnRe operates as a Bermuda-licensed reinsurance company under insurance and digital asset regulations. Its ONyc token provides blockchain-based access to diversified reinsurance exposure. The token also integrates with several Solana decentralized finance platforms for lending and collateral services.
Forward continues building infrastructure around the Solana ecosystem through multiple initiatives. Earlier, the company launched its Solana validator and introduced the fwdSOL product. It partnered with Superstate to tokenize FWDI shares on blockchain infrastructure.
The company views tokenized real-world assets as a growing segment within decentralized finance markets. It expects ONyc exposure to create stable dollar-denominated treasury income. The strategy also supports broader plans to strengthen long-term shareholder value through diversified blockchain-based revenue streams. Forward currently holds more than 7.01 million Solana tokens on its balance sheet. Industry data ranks the company among the largest corporate Solana holders globally.
The company linked its latest investment to expanding institutional activity across blockchain infrastructure. Forward expects Solana’s transaction speed and network capacity to support future real-world asset adoption. The company also emphasized long-term plans to grow treasury operations through multiple blockchain-native yield sources.
OnRe Targets Blockchain Reinsurance Expansion
OnRe plans to use the new capital to expand underwriting capacity and protocol integrations across the Solana ecosystem. The company also intends to strengthen infrastructure development and increase global distribution partnerships. OnRe aims to attract additional institutional participation within blockchain-based reinsurance markets.
The reinsurance market handles risk transfers between insurers and third-party firms. Analysts estimate the sector exceeds $600 billion in market value globally. Total reinsurance premiums, however, approach nearly $2 trillion annually across traditional financial systems.
Blockchain firms continue testing distributed ledger technology within insurance and reinsurance operations. Shared ledgers can simplify underwriting, claims processing, and settlement tracking through automated smart contract systems. Therefore, several decentralized finance projects now explore blockchain-based insurance infrastructure models.
OnRe joins other blockchain reinsurance projects attempting to tokenize insurance-related financial products. Re, another decentralized protocol, also develops tokenized insurance yield products for institutional markets. Additionally, insurance broker Aon previously tested stablecoin-based premium payment systems within financial services operations.
RockawayX played a major role in OnRe’s early development before the Series A financing round. The firm provided initial liquidity and underwriting support through its credit division. Meanwhile, the latest funding round signals growing institutional interest in tokenized real-world asset products on Solana.
Forward Industries expects the ONyc deployment to generate recurring yield income for corporate treasury operations. The company also believes diversified blockchain revenue can improve balance sheet resilience during market volatility. As a result, Forward continues expanding beyond traditional cryptocurrency treasury strategies into tokenized financial infrastructure.
