The prevailing thesis is that onchain finance will transform brokerage, particularly lending and borrowing. Aave has processed around $4T in deposits and $1T in borrowing, powered simply by onchain code. Onchain rails enable faster, more accessible ways to trade, lend, and borrow by reducing reliance on intermediaries. Now its time to expand these benefits to stocks. Over time, this has the potential to fundamentally reshape the cost structure of securities finance, creating more open, efficient, and deeper capital markets. Excited to bring capital markets onchain, one asset class at a time.

Borrowing USDC against Coinbase Tokenized Stocks is now possible on a dedicated @aave V4 instance on @base. Coinbase Tokenized Stocks Spoke on @aave v4 lets users deposit stocks issued by @coinbase (AAPLc, AMZNc, GOOGLc, METAc, MSFTc, NVDAc, TSLAc) as collateral and borrow @circle USDC against them. This allows users to keep their exposure to the stock without selling it while unlocking liquidity that can then be reinvested in other assets or spent, increasing capital efficiency. Aave loans have no fixed term so users only need to keep a healthy LTV to avoid liquidation and they can repay the loan whenever they want. In TradFi, borrowing against a stock portfolio means having access to a margin account that takes time and comes with account approvals, minimum balances requirements, and other broker terms Aave v4 Coinbase Tokenized Stocks Instance reduces the complexity of this type of operation, opens access to more capital efficency, while leveraging onchain rails. At the same time, it brings more borrow demand for onchain assets that can pay a yield to users that want to provide liquidity to this market.

It’s an awesome time to build onchain. I’ve always imagined a future where all assets including stocks move onchain and become usable in DeFi. The launch of Coinbase Tokenized Stocks on Base with Aave has been particularly exciting for me. Before Coinbase Tokenized Stocks, I had never owned a single stock. Now, stocks are becoming part of the onchain economy.
