Kraken Lets xStocks Holders Earn Yield Through DeFi

Kraken says the vaults pay variable yield in the deposited xStocks and use DeFi lending markets, with estimated net APY up to 2%.

  • Kraken launched onchain yield vaults on Monday for SPDR , Invesco QQQ ETF , and Nvidia , allowing clients to earn returns by lending tokenized assets through decentralized finance protocols.
  • Vaults utilize the same infrastructure as Kraken DeFi Earn, which launched in January and has attracted more than $800 million in deposits, leveraging strategies designed by Sentora and Veda.
  • Kraken charges a 25% performance fee on earnings, while withdrawals require a three-day waiting period; the product remains unavailable to residents of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
  • Users face potential losses from liquidation or smart contract failures, as assets travel through complex cross-chain paths between Ink and Solana; Kraken warns neither principal nor rewards are insured.
  • This launch occurs amid rapid growth in tokenized equities, with distributed value climbing to about $2.84 billion, up from roughly $540 million a year ago, according to RWA data.
