Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave, is collaborating with Coinbase to enable users to secure loans against the onchain representation of equities. The partnership integrates Aave’s liquidity rails with the Base network to allow tokenized stocks to serve as collateral for borrowing and lending within a decentralized finance ecosystem.
The initiative targets a total equity market valued at more than $150 trillion. Kulechov stated the asset class is ready to operate on onchain financial infrastructure, effectively integrating one of the world’s largest capital markets into the DeFi space.
