THE STORY · FACTUAL SUMMARY

Kamino’s 29 October announcement says eligible holders can now use Backpack Securities tokenised equities as collateral to borrow USDC on Solana. Backpack describes the tokens as backed 1:1 by underlying US-listed shares. The isolated Backpack Market has asset-specific borrowing and liquidation parameters. Borrowers retain stock-price exposure, but falling collateral values can trigger liquidation; eligibility and redemption remain subject to Backpack’s terms.

HIS MAJESTY’S ASSESSMENT · OPINION
Shares can now go travelling, meet a lending protocol and return with debt. Mine were supposed to bring a souvenir. Apparently that is an old-fashioned portfolio strategy.
