Forward Industries Launches First Regulated Equity as DeFi Collateral on Solana

Forward Industries launches SEC-registered shares on Solana blockchain via Superstate's Opening Bell platform, enabling tokenized equity as DeFi collateral for the first time.

This development bridges traditional finance with decentralized finance in unprecedented ways, allowing investors to unlock liquidity from their equity holdings without selling their positions. For shareholders, this creates new financial flexibility - they can access capital for other investments or expenses while maintaining ownership exposure. For the broader market, it demonstrates how regulated securities can integrate with DeFi ecosystems, potentially increasing adoption of blockchain technology in mainstream finance. This could lead to more efficient capital markets where traditional assets gain programmable functionality, opening doors for other public companies to follow suit and creating new investment strategies that blend equity ownership with decentralized finance opportunities.
