“Buy, borrow and die is a mantra of the rich. They love to take out loans against stock they own, so they don’t have to sell it when they want to buy other things such as mansions, yachts and movie studios.”

You don’t have to sell your stocks to access their value.

“Our whole theory is that anyone with meaningful sums of capital, no matter where you are in the world, can open an Interactive Brokers account, access US equities, and get pretty cheap margin.”

RWA ecosystem on Solana 2025 vs 2026
What a difference a year makes!
As traditional financial assets move onchain, the cost of borrowing against them remains a challenge.
Most platforms still charge borrowing interest, with rates around 5% or more depending on the assets. And despite moving onchain, the end product often looks little different from what’s available offchain.
At Spout, we believe onchain finance should offer something more.

Have come to the realization that if someone is selling a subscription-based product and they are still relatively small but are unwilling to give a free trial, major 🚩
On the flip side, a startup willing to give a free trial is a massive green flag

Okay Spout raised some money but why should anyone care?
Answer:
Tokenized stocks hit new milestones.
This week, stock-backed borrowing gained traction, institutional adoption advanced, and questions around issuer consent and regulation remained unresolved.
Our latest weekly roundup covers the key RWA developments shaping DeFi lending and the Solana ecosystem.

We are excited to announce a $2m strategic round from @DraperDragon , @Anchorage , @FlowTraders , @Taisu_Ventures , @VesselVC , @solayer_labs , @2SquareCapital and @Bering_Waters , with strategic backing from @solanalabs
The idea is simple to say and was hard to build. You post tokenized US equities, you borrow stablecoins at 0% interest, and the lender is paid out of covered call premium written against your shares rather than out of a rate you pay.
Borrowing against your own portfolio does not have to cost you interest. We are bringing prime broker economics to the masses.
We are not on mainnet yet. Private beta is close. There is a lot still to build
Angels include @giancarloMKTS , @toly , @rajgokal , @Dean_Swennumson , @ericinjective , and many more fantastic backers
Also special thanks to @nickducoff , @EmonMotamedi , and @samizb for believing in us early

It is crazy to me how the majority of people truly don’t understand the concept of expected value
On the one hand, you have degens making absurd gambles chasing tiny prob large sums
On the other hand, you have people constantly choosing the low sum safe routes

Was great catching up with @SteveCleanBrook who has officially been the first person to interview the entire Spout team!
what borrowing against your tokenized stock on spout vs traditional margin loan looks like:
your stock collateral - $25,000
your borrow LTV - 40%
typical margin loan rate - 10% APR
duration - 12 months
with spout finance, you’d save ~$2499 at a flexible duration
