Injective Brings HOOD to Blockchain for 24/7 Trading

So far, stocks can only be exchanged through traditional exchanges with operational time constraints. Presenting HOOD as an iAsset that can be traded on-chain on Helix, a decentralized platform built on the Injective network, it is bringing about significant transformation.

This makes Robinhood stock not only more easily available but also useful in other decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, thereby creating more chances for traders and investors.

For record’s sake, Injective has not just applied the idea of blockchain-based stocks once. Originally, they had brought the total to the blockchain Nvidia stock as the first iAsset. This step gave the stock 24/7 access with substantially higher capital efficiency than traditional systems.

Bringing McDonald’s to Blockchain

Besides that, according to CNF, they have filed a governance proposal including perpetual contracts for McDonald’s shares into their dApps ecosystem. Should approval be granted, investors would have a new approach to obtaining McDonald’s stock free from involving a broker or traditional financial institution.

Connecting the stock market with the decentralized financial system, this scenario could be a major breakthrough for the DeFi sector.

Injective Expands Institutional Access with On-Chain Funds

Injective has also partnered with subsidiary Laser Digital of Libre and Nomura to offer a blockchain-based institutional fund issuing and distribution platform. Through a range of on-chain investment funds, the alliance provides access for institutional and accredited investors. Actually, some of the money at hand originates from financial giants like BlackRock.

This move not only increases the reach of blockchain in traditional banking but also shows that digital assets have actual value in the world of high-end investment. It’s about merging with developed financial ecosystems now, not only about crypto or speculative assets.

Injective Eyes S&P 500 for Decentralized Market Access

On the other hand, Injective is preparing its next bold action: bringing the S&P 500 index to the blockchain. As reported by CNF, the proposal aims to bring S&P 500 perpetual trading on-chain, connecting traditional finance with decentralized markets.

If the governance vote approves the initiative, it could be one of Injective’s biggest achievements in opening up access to the world’s major stock indexes through blockchain technology.

For many, this could be the beginning of a major shift in the way we invest. There are no more geographical or time constraints, nor institutional obstacles restricting access to worldwide stock markets.

Amid the continuous breakthroughs, its native token, INJ, was trading at around $10.12 after gaining 4.96% over the last 24 hours.
