Contact the desk →Ondo Finance announced on November 12 that Spout Finance plans to accept Ondo Stocks as collateral for USDC borrowing when the service launches on Solana. The proposed loans would cover up to 50% of the value of deposited tokenized stocks and ETFs. Spout says it would charge borrowers no interest, instead generating returns for lenders through premiums earned from covered-call options. The process relies on Alpaca’s Instant Tokenization Network to redeem Ondo tokens into underlying shares held in a brokerage account, against which Spout would sell calls. Borrowers would surrender gains above the relevant option strike price when calls are exercised. Ondo also warns that falling collateral values could require additional backing or lead to liquidation. The company describes Spout as part of its $250 million Ondo Catalyst initiative. The announcement outlines a future service, not evidence that the lending product is already live.
