Aave listed tokenized SpaceX stock, $SPCXc, on its V4 market on 4 November, allowing users to borrow USDC against the asset. The listing appears on the Coinbase Tokenized Stocks market on the Base network, which is built by the US-based exchange Coinbase.
Degen News reported that the integration allows borrowers to use $SPCXc as collateral for USDC loans.

The listing is part of a broader push to bring traditional financial instruments onto the blockchain through the Base network and its partner protocols.
Aave is a decentralized lending protocol where users deposit assets to earn interest and borrow against them. Base is an Ethereum layer-2 network developed by Coinbase that hosts tokenized stock markets. Aave has a market value of $2.1bn and its token rose 4.6 percent over 24 hours, while the USDC stablecoin has a market value of $70.6bn.
The listing suggests growing acceptance of tokenized equities as collateral in decentralized finance. Traders will watch the volume of USDC borrowed against $SPCXc to gauge demand for debt-funded exposure to SpaceX. The move connects traditional finance and DeFi on Coinbase's infrastructure. It provides a way for holders to access liquidity without selling their tokenized shares in the private space company.
