最新报道：According to the news from the CoinWorld, Kamino, a decentralized lending protocol based on Solana, is integrating tokenized stocks as a collateral option. The tool it has chosen, the on-chain trading function xStocks, is also used by centralized exchanges such as Kraken and Bybit, and is powered by Chainlink's data standards. "With this integration, Kamino becomes the first major lending protocol in DeFi to use tokenized stocks as collateral, marking an important milestone for DeFi," the team wrote in an announcement on Friday. According to the announcement, the Kamino v2 architecture includes a new xStocks market designed to enable users to borrow stablecoins with xStocks collateral. The feature will first launch AAPLx, a tokenized representation of Apple stock, and will be gradually expanded. "Ultimately, our vision is for Kamino to become a full set of on-chain asset markets where users can exchange assets, borrow against assets as collateral, or use margin to expand exposure," the team wrote. “The permissionless finance rails are maturing and starting to encompass TradFi use cases in a more efficient, accessible, and transparent way.” In recent weeks, several companies have made major announcements about tokenized stocks, or on-chain representations of shares in public or private companies. These include Kraken, which announced it would provide EU customers with the ability to trade xStocks on Solana, and Robinhood, which is building an in-house solution for private stocks on Ethereum scaling layer Arbitrum. Tokenized stocks have long been the holy grail of the emerging real-world asset economy. Progress has been hampered in part by regulatory concerns and the need to gain corporate buy-in. For example, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Commissioner Hester Peirce, who is typically a vocal supporter of cryptocurrencies, poured cold water on the trend in a recent letter, saying that “tokenized securities are still securities.” Meanwhile, OpenAI slammed Robinhood’s “equity tokens,” saying it had not endorsed or approved any transfers, prompting Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev to clarify that the on-chain tokens were derivatives, not true equity. Launched by Backed Finance, xStocks are tokenized representations of US stocks and ETFs, issued on the Solana blockchain in the form of SPL tokens and on BNB Chain in the form of BEP-20 tokens. Each xStock (such as xAAPL or xTSLA) is backed 1:1 by real stocks held by a custodian. Putting representations of these assets on-chain enables 24/7 trading and features such as fractional ownership. "In addition to direct retail usability, integrating xStocks into lending protocols can also promote them as building blocks for new structured products, combine with other protocols, and allow the construction of complex financial instruments," Backed wrote in a previously published blog. Solana-based DEXs, such as Jupiter and Raydium, provide lending and liquidity provision. Kamino Finance is the largest money market on Solana and is a decentralized liquidity management, lending, and leverage protocol on Solana with nearly $3 billion in total value locked. Kamino launched its “intent-based” swap feature in December, The Block first reported. Its product is not available in the U.S., U.K. and other restricted markets. [The Block]
