FWDI stock lands on Solana: Traditional equity for the first time used directly as DeFi collateral

【Crypto World】Interesting development: FWDI stock under Forward Industries has finally gone on-chain. By connecting several core players in the Solana ecosystem—Opening Bell responsible for issuing tokenized stocks, Kamino building the lending market, Pyth providing price feeds—a complete on-chain collateralized lending loop has been formed.

What’s the most eye-catching? For the first time, traditional equity can be directly used as collateral in DeFi. In other words, investors outside the US can now lock FWDI tokens and instantly exchange for stablecoins. This was unimaginable before. No need to wait for T+2 settlement, no need to go through traditional clearing systems—done on the chain in a second.

Solana’s combination punch is working smoothly: equity tokenization → collateralization → lending → liquidity, with each step supported by corresponding protocols. Pyth’s real-time price feeds ensure accurate valuation, and Kamino’s risk control mechanisms prevent risk spillover. This is not just a technical showcase but a real bridge connecting Wall Street and Web3.
