Kraken has launched its new xStocks vaults, enabling investors to earn yield by lending tokenized versions of Nvidia shares and major US stock market ETFs in decentralized finance (DeFi) markets. This move allows users to generate passive income on digital assets representing traditional equities.
According to CoinTelegraph, these xStocks vaults bridge conventional stock investments with DeFi opportunities, expanding the utility of tokenized stocks beyond simple ownership. By lending these assets, investors can tap into additional revenue streams while retaining exposure to prominent US equities.
For Japanese investors, this development highlights growing global integration between traditional finance and DeFi, presenting new avenues for diversification and yield generation in a market where digital asset adoption continues to rise.
