Aerodrome launched tokenized equities (NVDA, Apple, Meta, Alphabet) on Base with 1:1 physical backing, achieving $103M trading volume in days and 11% AERO token gains.
Tech & Launches ·
Aerodrome has launched tokenized versions of major equities—NVDA, Apple, Meta, and Alphabet—on the Base blockchain, allowing eligible users to trade these assets around the clock. Each token is backed 1:1 by physical shares held in reserve.
Within days of the launch, trading volume across these tokenized equities exceeded $103 million, while the platform's native AERO token gained approximately 11% during the same period. The move bridges traditional stock markets with decentralized finance infrastructure, enabling continuous trading outside conventional market hours.
The durability and regulatory path for tokenized equities remain to be tested at scale. It is not yet clear how demand will sustain beyond the initial launch window or what compliance frameworks will govern these products as adoption grows.
