Decentralized finance platform Ether.fi announced that its self-custody app has added trading for tokenized stocks, metals, and crypto assets, along with the ability to borrow against multiple holdings as collateral. Users can lend assets or borrow against a portfolio through the integrated Aave market on Optimism, allowing them to transfer or spend borrowed funds without selling their positions. Ether.fi stated that its fiat accounts support global deposits and withdrawals across more than 30 currencies and payment methods. However, tokenized stock and metal trading is not available to users in the United States and certain other markets. Fiat accounts are only open to users who have completed payment card identity verification, and deposit and withdrawal speeds may vary. Ether.fi will also introduce automatic ETHFI buybacks and offer 3% cashback on card spending. Ether.fi founder and CEO Mike Silagadze said that initial support will cover Ethereum, Bitcoin, Hyperliquid, ETHFI, and select tokenized stocks and gold, with additional collateral assets to be added later.
