Tokenized SPY in DeFi offers high yields, but current risks limit its institutional-level application, while its future potential is enormous.
If DeFi was 100% safe, this would be the greatest deal in the history of finance
You buy tokenized SPY (US S&P 500 index) with ticker SPYx on Solana
Deposit it on Jupiter Lend and earn 2% APY on top of stock market returns (!)
Getting SPY returns + 2% APY sounds small but for institutions it's insanely high. They're used to paying fees, not getting yield. Even 1% would be fantastic
Without DeFi risk, TVL would be tens of billions of $ on this
With DeFi risk it's $8 million
Regulated tokenized stocks + yield like this + safer custody will be a game changer. Just not there yet
