xStocks Deploys 1,100+ Tokenized Stocks on Monad; Superform Starts Aave-Backed Base Strategies
xStocks began minting 1,100+ tokenized US stocks on Monad, while Superform activated Aave-powered earn strategies for Coinbase tokenized stocks on Base.
Why it matters
Both announcements extend tokenized equities as onchain collateral, on Base and on Monad, which adds to the small pool of assets usable in DeFi borrowing. The only measured activity in the set is Crypto News's $4.7 million Aave V4 figure from a single commentator, so the scale of demand is not confirmed.
Key facts
xStocks announced a native deployment on Monad covering more than 1,100 tokenized US stocks and ETFs.
1,100Reported by CoinGape
CoinGape reported that native issuance means xStocks tokens are minted and settled directly on Monad rather than routed across cross-chain bridges.
Reported by CoinGape
Val Gui of xStocks made the Monad announcement on stage at the Open conference in Singapore on October 6, 2026 and called it 'just the beginning'.
Reported by CoinGape
CoinGape reported, on a single-outlet basis, that Aave governance is weighing an Aave V4 deployment on Monad built around an xStocks-based tokenized-equities hub.
Reported by CoinGape
Superform activated Earn Stocks on Base, powered by Aave, with the rollout beginning with superNVDA.
Reported by The Daily Hodl
Each SuperStock posts a supported Coinbase Tokenized Stock as collateral in Aave V4's Equities Hub on Base and borrows USDC, deploying it through venues its mandate permits when expected returns clear borrowing and execution costs, liquidity requirements and a risk buffer.
Reported by The Daily Hodl
Superform said additional Mag 7 SuperStocks would follow, naming superTSLA and superMSFT among them.

What happened
xStocks, the tokenized equity platform of Payward, Kraken's parent company, announced at Monad's Open conference in Singapore on October 6, 2026 that more than 1,100 tokenized US stocks and ETFs will mint and settle natively on Monad, which CoinGape says lets DEXs, lending markets and wallets route equity exposure without bridges. CoinGape also reported that Aave governance is weighing an Aave V4 deployment on Monad built around an xStocks-based tokenized-equities hub; that item comes from one outlet and no vote or decision was reported. Val Gui of xStocks called the launch 'just the beginning' and said the possibilities on Monad are open as the chain builds infrastructure, and xStocks said on X that it is bringing tokenized stocks to the network. The Daily Hodl and Brave New Coin carried the same Superform release, describing Earn Stocks on Base powered by Aave, starting with superNVDA, with additional Mag 7 SuperStocks to follow. Under those strategies each SuperStock posts a supported Coinbase Tokenized Stock as collateral in Aave V4's Equities Hub on Base and borrows USDC, deploying it through mandate-permitted venues when expected returns clear costs, liquidity needs and a risk buffer; Vikram Arun, Superform's co-founder and CEO, said tokenization is not the end product. Crypto News, citing the crypto commentator @tokenterminal, reported that $4.7 million in Coinbase tokenized stocks was deposited into Aave V4, with Meta and Nvidia shares making up half of the deposits, a figure no other outlet in the set confirms. The two launches sit on different chains from different issuers, and no source links them.
