~ Sentora, Chainlink, Ondo and Euler enter strategic partnership to accelerate the adoption of tokenised stocks across DeFi ~
A new partnership between Sentora , Chainlink , Ondo Finance , and Euler is delivering what many investors have been eagerly awaiting: DeFi composable public equities. Through the Chainlink data standard and Sentora Tokenized Equity Yield (STEY), tokenised stocks can now be used as collateral in decentralised lending markets, allowing investors to unlock liquidity and potential yield without selling their assets and giving up exposure to the underlying stock.
The launch combines three critical components required for DeFi protocols to accept tokenised stocks as collateral at scale.
First, it provides a lending venue with professional risk parameters. Initial lending support for tokenised equities is now live on Euler, supported by Sentora's curation. This deployment serves as early validation that tokenized stocks can function as robust, risk-managed collateral alongside crypto-native assets, and paves the way for DeFi yield opportunities based on tokenized equities.
It also offers deep, reliable liquidity. Ondo's tokenized stocks and ETFs inherit liquidity directly from traditional equity venues, supporting near-instant liquidations without significant slippage.
Finally, it benefits from high-integrity, real-time pricing. The Chainlink data standard via Data Feeds is now live for Ondo tokenised equities as its official oracle solution, delivering institutional-grade pricing to accelerate the adoption of these assets across DeFi. Each feed reflects the full economic reality of the underlying security, enabling DeFi protocols to price positions accurately.
"Global investors can now access the largest selection of transferable tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs onchain. We saw stablecoins export the U.S. dollar by bringing it onchain. Now, the tokenization of equities is doing the same thing for U.S. securities." Nathan Allman, Founder and CEO of Ondo Finance.
The move comes as retail investment in equities continues to grow globally, with trillions worth of equities held by U.S. retail investors alone. In the traditional financial paradigm, these typically remain static once purchased. While selling shares to access liquidity can take days and incur multiple fees, tokenisation opens the door to using those assets more dynamically, without needing to exit the position.
"Retail investors are holding enormous amounts of value in equities that, until now, they haven't been able to do very much with," said Anthony Demartino, CEO at Sentora. "Tokenization changes that by allowing those assets to be used productively, without forcing people to sell and potentially lose long term upside."
Risk management for the new Euler market is delivered by Sentora via STEY. Using asset-level analysis and continuous monitoring, Sentora sets and updates key parameters such as collateral factors, borrow caps, and liquidation thresholds so that tokenised equities markets meet the standards institutional participants expect. This modular, risk-isolated design creates a controlled path for introducing tokenised equities into DeFi.
"This launch transforms static equity holdings into productive capital while bringing much-needed diversification to DeFi collateral. " Jonathan Han, CEO at Euler.
STEY is powered by Sentora's Smart Yield platform, which orchestrates strategies and manages risk across DeFi venues. Sentora partners with exchanges, fintechs, neobanks, and DeFi platforms that own the end-user experience so retail investors can access these capabilities seamlessly.
