Summary
Venus has added support for tokenized equities such as Apple, Tesla and Microsoft stock tokens. The assets are described as backed 1:1 by real-world equities held by regulated custodians. Real-world assets have become one of DeFi’s strongest product narratives, and Venus Protocol’s latest integration pushes that theme into equity-backed collateral. The appeal is easy to understand.
