Venus Protocol adds 3 tokenized stocks as collateral on BNB Chain
Venus Protocol began accepting three tokenized stocks as collateral on BNB Chain, letting users borrow against Tesla, Nvidia and SpaceX-linked positions without selling their holdings.
"Tokenized assets are becoming a real bridge between traditional finance and on-chain infrastructure, not just a concept, but a working product," Leon, Head of BD at Venus Protocol, said.
The Venus Core Pool now supports TSLAB, NVDAB and SPCXB — Binance-issued bStocks representing tokenized exposure to Tesla, Nvidia and SpaceX. Users supplying these tokens can borrow stablecoins including USDT, USDC and U, as well as other listed assets on the platform. The pool holds about $1.47 billion in total value locked, according to DefiLlama, making it the largest decentralized lending market on BNB Chain.
The integration places tokenized equities alongside BTC, ETH and BNB in the same liquidity infrastructure, expanding what qualifies as on-chain collateral beyond cryptocurrencies and commodities. Venus previously listed XAUm, a tokenized gold product, signaling demand for real-world asset exposure within DeFi.
Binance supplies the tokenization infrastructure, allowing users to convert existing Direct Stock holdings into bStocks at no fee or purchase them directly on Binance Spot. PancakeSwap and Trust Wallet provide secondary market access, completing a pathway from tokenized stock exposure to active DeFi participation.
The initial rollout includes a limited set of assets under conservative risk parameters set through Venus governance. Any expansion to additional tokenized stocks will require further governance approval.
Venus, founded in 2020 as the first lending protocol on BNB Chain, supports over 30 assets and reached $2.8 billion in TVL in 2025. The protocol has completed more than 80 audits across leading firms.
The launch comes as Wall Street accelerates its embrace of blockchain infrastructure. Mastercard and Visa are building stablecoin settlement rails, while five major US banks plan a tokenized deposit network targeted for early 2027. DTCC's tokenization service spans more than 50 firms, with initial trades for tokenized real-world assets planned for July.
