Getting a stock on-chain is no longer the hard part. Tokenized public equities climbed from roughly $32 million to nearly $1 billion in a single year and crossed $1.4 billion by mid-2026, and the issuance and custody models have matured from proof-of-concept to institutional-grade production. The open question is no longer whether equities can be tokenized. It's what they are for.

In this session, Sentora co-founders Jesus Rodriguez (CTO) and Anthony DeMartino (CEO) discuss the next phase. Retail investors hold enormous value in equities they've never been able to put to work, while brokers have quietly monetized that same collateral for decades through stock lending, margin interest, and custodial fees. Tokenization changes who captures that value. Once a share is composable, its owner can borrow against it, hedge it, or earn on it without selling and forfeiting the upside. The most important shift is equities becoming productive collateral inside on-chain credit markets.

Finally, the session widens the lens to the rest of the tokenized-asset landscape and how we expect it to evolve in the coming months.
