VanEck's tokenized fund lands on Euler as DeFi courts Wall Street institutions

DeFi protocols are increasingly adapting to host regulated, tokenized assets as tokenization is projected to bring trillions of dollars onchain. What to know : VanEck's tokenized fund, issued by Securitize, is now live on DeFi lending platform Euler, allowing investors to use tokenized U.S. Treasuries as onchain collateral. The move underscores how DeFi protocols are redesigning their platforms to accommodate institutions and regulated assets, Graham Ferguson, Securitize's head of ecosystem, said. Standard Chartered, BCG and Ripple suggest the tokenized asset market could scale into trillions of dollars over the next decade, pushing DeFi to balance openness with traditional compliance demands.
