Kraken Turns Tokenized Stocks Into Yield-Bearing DeFi Collateral

Kraken has opened onchain yield vaults for SPYx, QQQx and NVDAx. Launch APYs are 2% for SPYx and QQQx and 1.8% for NVDAx, net of fees. The xStocks serve as collateral while borrowed

• Kraken has launched yield vaults for tokenized stocks (SPYx, QQQx, NVDAx), offering APYs of 1.8%-2% by using them as collateral in DeFi strategies.
• This innovation allows investors to retain equity price exposure while generating additional yield, but introduces protocol and liquidity risks, including potential liquidation.
• The success of these vaults will depend on attracting capital and maintaining attractive yields that justify the added risks, with initial availability limited to certain regions outside the US.
