Tokenized stocks are opening up a new market for Aero. With pools like USDC/AMZNc and USDC/MSTRc, @aeroxyz is giving tokenized equities a place in DeFi where trading activity can generate fees and liquidity providers can compete for returns. That also matters for veAERO voters. They direct emissions toward pools and earn a share of eligible exchange revenue, connecting their returns to the markets they choose to support. As these stock markets grow, more trading activity can mean more fees flowing through Aero. And the assets themselves have uses beyond trading. Coinbase’s tokenized equities are now accepted as collateral on Aave V4 on Base, allowing eligible users to borrow USDC against holdings such as AMZNc. That gives these assets another role in the DeFi economy, with the usual borrowing costs and liquidation risks. The opportunity here goes beyond putting familiar stocks onchain. It’s about building markets around them, generating fees from their use, and making them composable with the rest of DeFi. Aero can benefit from that shift as tokenized assets move from simply being held onchain to being actively used.

Tokenized stocks could become a $100B market over the next five years. Bringing major stocks onchain could help drive that growth and give people in Asia more ways to access US dollar based assets.

The race to bring stocks onchain is picking up, but getting them there is only the beginning. This week brought new tokenized stock launches, more experiments with stock-backed lending, and fresh institutional moves across Solana and traditional finance. Here’s what changed across RWA market and what it signals for onchain finance:

Following today’s launch of Securitize Stocks on @solana, our CEO @carlosdomingo joined @CNBC to discuss bringing stocks onchain in the U.S. and the path toward 24/7 trading. Tokenize the World.

🚨 LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE IS BRINGING STOCKS ONCHAIN The London Stock Exchange is partnering with Kraken parent Payward as it pushes deeper into tokenised equities. In 2027, subject to regulatory approval, LSE plans to list xStocks on its new LSE 24 market. But the bigger story is what LSEG is building around it. LSEG is developing tokenised UK equity infrastructure designed to preserve the shareholder rights, protections and governance standards of traditional public markets. It is also exploring: 🔹 Public and private blockchains 🔹 Wallet based access 🔹 Onchain settlement 🔹 Near 24 hour trading, Monday-Friday This isn’t crypto trying to replace traditional finance. One of the world’s oldest major stock exchanges is actively building traditional finance on blockchain rails.

.@NYSE’s parent company wants to bring 63 US stocks onchain, with 24/7 trading. The SEC has given the companies 30 days to object. With around 12 days remaining, here’s where things stand: 47 haven’t objected. 16 have pushed back. Nvidia, Apple, Tesla, Amazon and SpaceX remain in. Microsoft and Alphabet are out. Goldman Sachs has objected, while Walmart, Coca-Cola, Netflix and Eli Lilly remain in. An interesting test of where corporate control ends and the future of tokenized markets begins. Should companies have the right to veto the tokenization of their stock?
