This year, the crypto space has been all about dog coins and on-chain stocks—there’s really nothing else worth playing with! When it comes to stocks on-chain, just being able to buy and sell isn’t that exciting. What if you hold high-quality stocks but don’t want to sell them, yet need cash urgently? Can you directly collateralize them to borrow USDC? Can yield-generating assets be deposited into a vault to compound automatically? And later, could you use those shares as margin to trade perpetuals? @edeldotfinance is here to solve exactly these problems. Its architecture: Lending handles borrowing and collateral, Vaults delegate strategies to smart contracts, and Markets are built on Canton—with email login and a trading experience as smooth as a traditional exchange. Assets like STRCx are already being integrated, offering attractive yields while managing leverage risk. $EDEL has been live for nearly a year, peaking near $90M market cap, dipping to around $8M, then rebounding to several times its low. Beyond price, what matters more is whether Markets gain real volume and whether the protocol sees genuine capital inflow. They’ve also joined the DTCC working group alongside NYSE and BlackRock. The testnet already has nearly 100,000 users, and a roadmap is due on the 22nd—keep an eye out these days! CA: 0xfb31f85a8367210b2e4ed2360d2da9dc2d2ccc95
