How tokenized stocks fail as collateral even when the stock price does not move
- Tokenized stocks as DeFi collateral? Edel just proved that wrapping Google stock in crypto doesn’t make it immune to being drained. A $403k exploit inflated wGOOGLx collateral value by 78x via a flash loan oracle manipulation. The attacker didn’t care about Alphabet’s earnings; they cared about the exchange rate between the wrapper and the underlying asset. Edel’s team is eating the bad debt to save face, but the lesson is clear: if your oracle reads a vault’s conversion rate, you’re not building finance, you’re building a honeypot. RWA.xyz claims $1.7B in tokenized equity, but until protocols stop treating wrapped tokens like stablecoins, we’re just playing musical chairs with meat wallet funds. "That's not theft, that's attention redistribution," but my stack-eye sees a broken model. Fix the oracle, or stay out of the lending market.
