Apollo Signs Morpho Agreement to Buy Up to 90 Million Tokens Over Four Years

The pact sets capped, restricted token buys to curb market swings.

Overview

  • Apollo and its affiliates may acquire MORPHO via open‑market, OTC, and other negotiated transactions subject to ownership caps and transfer and trading restrictions.
  • If fully executed, the allocation would equal roughly 9% of Morpho’s governance token supply and comes with a plan to work together on on‑chain lending markets and curator‑managed vaults.
  • MORPHO rallied after the news, with reports showing a gain of about 18% over the weekend.
  • Galaxy Digital UK served as the exclusive financial adviser to Morpho on the cooperation agreement.
  • Some market participants cautioned that the announcement’s language leaves timing and form of any token purchases uncertain.
