Tokenized stock deposits in DeFi exceed $300M, surging 2,451% year-over-year as users seek yield through lending and trading.
DeFi & Yields ·
Tokenized stock assets in decentralized finance have crossed $300M in total value locked, representing a 2,451.5% year-over-year increase, according to Token Terminal data. STRCx holds the largest share at $46.7M, trailed by FWDI with $21.5M and SPYx at $16.2M.
The surge reflects growing user appetite to generate yield on equity exposures via decentralized lending protocols, rate markets, and trading pools. This diversification of where and how tokenized equities are deployed signals broader adoption of blockchain-based alternatives to traditional custodian arrangements for equity holdings.
Whether this growth sustains depends on regulatory clarity around tokenized securities, the competitive pressure from traditional finance yield products, and the stability of underlying DeFi protocols managing these assets.
