Forward Industries Tokenizes Shares on Solana for DeFi Collateral First

Forward Industries tokenizes NASDAQ shares on Solana via Superstate's Opening Bell, enabling first regulated equity collateral in DeFi on Kamino lending protocol.

This development bridges traditional equity markets with decentralized finance, allowing investors to use regulated public shares as collateral for loans on blockchain platforms. It provides new liquidity options, particularly for international holders, and demonstrates how tokenization can create practical financial products beyond speculation. This could accelerate mainstream adoption of blockchain in finance, making markets more efficient and accessible while setting a precedent for other public companies to integrate with DeFi ecosystems.
