Tokenized Stocks Now Acceptable Collateral on Venus Protocol

Venus Protocol has expanded its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem by allowing tokenized U.S. stocks to be used as collateral on its lending platform.

The new feature, launched on BNB Chain, enables users to unlock liquidity from stock-backed digital assets without selling their positions.

This marks another step in the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain-based markets.

Venus Protocol has introduced support for Binance-issued bStocks within the Venus Protocol lending market. Eligible tokenized equities, including Tesla (TSLAB), Nvidia (NVDAB), and SpaceX (SPCXB), can now be deposited as collateral in the Venus Core Pool.

Through this integration, users can borrow stablecoins such as USDT and USDC while maintaining exposure to the underlying stocks. This approach mirrors traditional securities-backed lending but operates entirely on-chain.
