DeFi Development Corp. offers CHAD, a SOL-backed preferred stock yielding 14.3% at $9.10, rated Buy for its differentiated yield engine. CHAD's yield is supported by Solana validator rewards, treasury growth, and potential SOL appreciation, not solely by staking income. Management targets CHAD trading in the $9.95–$11 range, viewing a move toward par as validation of the structure, not a negative.
