VanEck’s tokenized fund lands on Euler as DeFi courts Wall Street institutions DeFi protocols are increasingly adapting to host regulated, tokenized assets as tokenization is projected to bring trillions of dollars onchain.
What to know: – VanEck’s tokenized fund, issued by Securitize, is now live on DeFi lending platform Euler, allowing investors to use tokenized U.S
Treasuries as onchain collateral. – The move underscores how DeFi protocols are redesigning their platforms to accommodate institutions and regulated assets, Graham Ferguson, Securitize’s head of ecosystem, said. – Standard Chartered, BCG and Ripple suggest the tokenized asset market could scale into trillions of dollars over the next decade, pushing DeFi to balance openness with traditional compliance demands. Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols built for crypto assets are increasingly retooling themselves for Wall Street, and VanEck’s tokenized Treasury fund arriving on lending platform Euler is the latest example of that shift. Securitize (CEPT), issuer and tokenization specialist behind VanEck’s VBILL Treasury fund, said Thursday that the product is now live on Euler lending markets.
The move allows investors to use tokenized U.S. Treasuries as collateral to borrow and deploy liquidity elsewhere onchain while maintaining compliance limits tied to the asset. The move highlights how DeFi protocols are evolving as institutional investors push deeper into tokenized finance.
