Most people looking to benefit from tokenization are focused on issuers and DEXs. Lending protocols deserve attention too, as holders deposit these assets and use them as collateral for permissionless borrowing. @base crossed $30M in tokenized equity supply yesterday, with $1.8M already deposited in Aave V4. I expect both figures to keep climbing over the next few months.

Reminder that @coinbase tokenized stocks are real equity securities backed 1:1 by US stocks held in regulated custody, not synthetic trackers Holding one means holding true beneficial ownership of the share, with dividends and corporate actions passed through on @base

What this means is that if you hold Base tokenized stocks, you can borrow against them, and even use the borrowed funds to buy more the same stock if you're feeling particularly bullish (as in a traditional brokerage account). With Aave v4's unique pooled model, you get margin against your entire porfolio at once. *Tokenized stocks are only available in eligible jurisdictions outside of the U.S.

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.
