Kamino appoints Michael Weisz as CEO amid U.S. expansion

Kamino, a Solana-based decentralized finance lender, has appointed fintech veteran Michael Weisz as its chief executive officer, according to CoinDesk. Weisz will lead the company from a new headquarters in New York as Kamino expands its presence in the United States. The lender is also moving into tokenized assets, marking an expansion of its activities beyond its existing DeFi focus. The appointment places Weisz at the center of Kamino’s U.S. growth plans and its work in tokenized assets. Kamino’s announcement comes as the platform continues building its operations around the Solana ecosystem. The company’s next phase will be led from New York under Weisz’s direction.
