Solana-based lending protocol Kamino has appointed Michael Weisz as CEO, tasking him with leading institutional growth and expansion into the United States for a platform holding $1.35 billion in total value locked. Weisz brings over two decades of fintech and private-markets experience. In a thesis letter, he argued that financial-services infrastructure is moving onchain and described Kamino as a potential provider of access, distribution and liquidity for tokenized assets. Weisz said Kamino has spent four years building infrastructure to support liquidity, credit and distribution after assets move onchain. Kamino’s tools already support institutional lending strategies, and his appointment frames a new strategic phase for the protocol.
