Aave V4 on Base draws $871K in tokenized SpaceX shares

Aave V4 on Base has attracted $871,000 in tokenized SpaceX shares, marking an early test of bringing private-equity exposure into DeFi lending markets. The integration lets users supply tokenized SpaceX equity as collateral on the Base network, expanding the range of real-world assets accepted by the protocol. The move matters because tokenized stocks could deepen liquidity and diversify collateral beyond crypto-native assets, though it also raises regulatory and custodial questions around how the underlying shares are held and redeemed. Watch for growth in supplied value and borrower demand for the tokenized equity, plus any regulatory guidance on how such collateral is treated.
