Edel

Edel is building DeFi infrastructure for tokenized equities, bringing the core functions of traditional capital markets onchain. The protocol enables holders of tokenized stocks to lend their assets, borrow stablecoins against them, access liquidity, and participate in equity credit markets without relying on legacy intermediaries. Instead of treating tokenized stocks like standard crypto tokens, Edel is purpose-built for the unique characteristics of equities, including market hours, trading halts, dividends, stock splits, corporate actions, and ticker-specific risk. Our goal is to become the native money market layer for tokenized equities, serving both retail users and institutions with transparent, efficient, and composable financial infrastructure. By moving lending, borrowing, and margin markets onchain, Edel unlocks new utility for stocks, improves capital efficiency, and gives asset holders access to opportunities that were previously captured by brokers and prime desks.
