Tokenized stocks were just the start. 1inch now supports six RWA categories: stocks, thematic funds, Treasuries, institutional credit, gold and foreign exchange. A breakdown of all six, and what to check before you swap. https://x.com/i/article/2110326322039832576
Building an Aqua strategy or swapVM instruction? The 1inch DAO is funding teams up to $50k. $400k has been allocated from the DAO treasury with 4 slots still open.
What RWAs can you swap on 1inch? Four different tokens on 1inch are linked to Nvidia. NVDAon from Ondo, NVDAx from xStocks, NVDAB from bStocks and NVDAc from Coinbase. Same company, four different assets. Each has its own issuer, legal structure, backing arrangement, eligibility rules and liquidity, and none of them converts into another. That is the part most RWA coverage skips, and it matters more as the list gets longer. Tokenized equities were the first category to arrive on 1inch. There are now six, covering stocks, thematic funds, Treasuries, institutional credit, gold and foreign exchange. Here is what is actually on the list, and what to check before you touch any of it. Tokenized stocks and ETFs The easiest category to understand, and the busiest. Four issuers supply it. Ondo Global Markets was the first major RWA integration on 1inch, live since September 2025. Ondo offers hundreds of tokenized stocks and ETFs linked to traditional securities, including companies such as Nvidia, Tesla and Alphabet. That integration has since generated billions of dollars in RWA trading volume through 1inch infrastructure. xStocks adds another broad selection of tokenized US stocks and ETFs, connecting its tokenized equity infrastructure to 1inch routing through the Swap API in March 2026. bStocks adds another major tokenized-equity ecosystem to 1inch. Launched in June 2026, bStocks are Binance-affiliated tokenized US stocks and ETFs issued by BTECH Holdings Ltd as BEP-20 tokens on BNB Chain. According to the issuer, each token is backed 1:1 by the underlying stock or ETF held with a regulated custodian. 1inch supports 77 bStocks, including assets linked to Nvidia, Tesla, Meta, Microsoft, Strategy and the Invesco QQQ Trust. As of mid-September 2026, bStocks had reached approximately $685 mln in distributed value, making it the second-largest tokenized-stock platform by that measure, behind Ondo. Coinbase is the fourth source. Its tokenized stocks launched on Base using B20, a Base-native token standard built for fungible assets including tokenized equities and other RWAs. Because B20 remains compatible with ERC-20 infrastructure, supported assets can plug into existing DeFi applications and 1inch swap routing. The initial Coinbase selection includes assets linked to Apple, Amazon, Coinbase, Circle, Alphabet, Intel, Meta, Microsoft, Strategy, Nvidia, SanDisk, SpaceX and Tesla, each carrying a c suffix. Tokenized thematic funds For exposure to a sector rather than an individual company, five decentralized token funds built on the Reserve protocol add that option on BNB Chain. Each DTF is a single ERC-20 token backed by a basket of tokenized US stocks from Ondo Global Markets. The baskets are rebalanced according to predefined rules and can be redeemed on-chain for their underlying tokenized stocks in accordance with the Reserve protocol. Rather than choosing individual companies and managing their weights yourself, you access a rules-based basket through one token. The five currently supported focus on different parts of the AI economy: PHOTON, photonics and optical networking BUILDOUT, AI hardware and infrastructure POWER, energy and power infrastructure for AI data centers NEOCLOUD, cloud and compute capacity ROBOTS, robotics and automation Tokenized US Treasuries RWAs are not limited to stocks. Ondo's USDY is a tokenized Treasury product, supported through 1inch since August 2026. USDY is backed by short-term US Treasuries and bank deposits and is designed so that value accrues through the token's price. Treasury products represent a different RWA use case from tokenized stocks. Instead of tracking the performance of a company, they bring exposure to traditional fixed-income assets onto blockchain infrastructure, which gives eligible DeFi users access to another major segment of traditional finance without leaving an on-chain environment. Tokenized institutional credit Maple's syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT represent positions in Maple's institutional lending system. Under Maple's model, lenders provide USDC or USDT through Maple, institutional borrowers take overcollateralized loans and pay interest, and the resulting syrup tokens represent those lending positions. Holding one is not the same as holding the stablecoin it came from. A syrup token is connected to underlying lending activity and is subject to the risks of that lending strategy. 1inch supports syrupUSDC on Ethereum, Arbitrum and Base, and syrupUSDT on Ethereum and BNB Chain. Users can move into or out of these tokens through available liquidity, while the lending, minting and redemption mechanics all remain with Maple. Credit is the category that shows why RWAs are broader than assets that simply reproduce something traded on a stock exchange. Loans and lending positions can also become transferable on-chain assets. Tokenized gold and foreign currencies Tenbin brings the two newest categories. Tenbin Gold, or tGLD, is the first Tenbin commodity token supported through 1inch. It is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum designed to track the US dollar value of one troy ounce of gold. Tenbin states that it uses USDC collateral combined with futures-based hedging and institutional market access to create that exposure. Gold matters here because it is already one of the largest on-chain commodity markets. Two further Ethereum tokens cover foreign exchange: tBRL, designed to track the Brazilian real tMXN, designed to track the Mexican peso Non-USD currencies remain relatively rare in DeFi, where dollar-denominated stablecoins dominate. For a reader whose financial life is denominated in reais or pesos, holding USDC or USDT already represents foreign-currency exposure, and these are the first tokens on 1inch designed to follow something else. Why the same ticker is not the same asset The suffix tells you the issuer. Ondo uses ‘on’, xStocks uses ‘x’, bStocks uses ‘B’ and Coinbase uses ‘c’. So NVDAon, NVDAx, NVDAB and NVDAc are four products from four different companies, and the only thing announcing that is one or two characters at the end of a symbol. Four issuers now list tokenized versions of the same large US companies. The symbols are deliberately similar. The products are not. What differs between them: Issuer and legal structure. Each token is a claim on a different entity under a different framework. Some are certificates representing an interest in underlying shares rather than any form of share ownership. Backing and redemption. How the underlying is held, by whom, and whether you can redeem, varies by issuer and is set out only in their own documentation. Eligibility. Jurisdiction rules differ sharply between issuers, and a token you can hold may be one you were never eligible to buy. Network. bStocks are BEP-20 tokens on BNB Chain and Coinbase's are B20 on Base, so the same company may not be reachable from the chain your funds are on. Liquidity. Four versions of one company means liquidity is split across them, and the deepest one is not always the one you found first. That makes them different products that happen to share a name, which is a distinction worth thirty seconds before a swap rather than afterwards. What 1inch does and does not do here 1inch does not issue or manage these RWAs. Issuance, backing, redemption and eligibility remain with the relevant providers. What it provides is the swap infrastructure that helps eligible users access supported assets through available liquidity. Putting an asset on-chain does not automatically make it easy to trade, and RWA liquidity can be fragmented across issuers, networks and venues, which is the problem aggregation exists to solve. For RWA swaps, 1inch's intent-based infrastructure relies on independent resolvers that fill orders, with availability depending on the asset, network, issuer requirements and jurisdiction. How to swap RWAs via 1inch 1. Open the 1inch dApp or 1inch Wallet. 2. Connect your wallet. 3. Select the network where the RWA is available. bStocks, for example, are supported on BNB Chain. 4. Search for the asset you want to receive, and verify the token and issuer information. 5. Select the token you want to swap from. 6. Review the rate, route and transaction details. 7. Confirm the swap. Step four is the one that matters. Checking which issuer’s token you are actually buying takes a moment. Availability depends on the particular asset, issuer requirements and jurisdiction. Some RWAs are unavailable in the US, UK, EU or other restricted regions, and trading conditions can differ between products. Underlying traditional markets may also have trading hours that affect RWA liquidity and pricing even when the tokens themselves remain transferable on-chain. Explore RWAs on 1inch.

Polymarket's odds on Jesus returning in 2026 sat above 4% for most of the spring. Almost all of that was the interest nobody was earning on the USDC behind the bet. Liquidity has the same problem. Being in a market usually costs you whether anyone trades or not. Aqua positions are backed from your own wallet instead, so one balance covers many of them. @tomhschmidt, Partner at @dragonfly, on the Aqua podcast.
1inch is an early partner of Safe Pro 🤝 We’ve been working with the @SafeLabs_ team to shape it around how we run onchain ops. More structure, better visibility across accounts, while keeping control of our assets.
Tokenization is happening. But how efficient is DeFi, really? Could we ever see price discovery happening on-chain? Post-Aqua, we sat down to talk liquidity with Bebop CEO @katiabanina, Curve founder Michael Egorov @newmichwill, @Dragonfly Partner @tomhschmidt and our very own CPTO Holly Atkinson @holdoesdev. Catch the full conversation tomorrow at 9AM ET on Youtube: https://youtu.be/jgpWD-ONkcQ

The digital edition of reDeFine Money is live. The history of DeFi, told by the people who built it. All 1inch proceeds go to @BlockchainEdu. One line from @newmichwill, founder of @CurveFinance, stuck with us: ''If it is real DeFi, no one can take your funds, not even the project you have them in.'' When we started Aqua, that was the question. Should a protocol ever hold your tokens? We decided no. Aqua contracts hold zero tokens. Your funds stay in your wallet and only move when a swap needs them. One wallet can back many positions at once.
You open an Aqua position and your tokens stay in your wallet until someone takes the other side. Who that someone is, what happens at the moment of a fill and why taker access is gated at launch. https://x.com/i/article/2104913069180600321
what's coming?

1inch Aqua just passed $1B in total volume. Six weeks from launch to ten figures. The shared liquidity model is doing what it was built to do.
The Aqua Incubator pays builders to ship new strategies on Aqua. Up to $50K per team, funded by the 1inch DAO. The first team is already approved. Follow @1inchdevs for more builder news.
~$89M drained from hardware wallets this weekend. Cold storage was supposed to be the safest place in crypto. But the truth is, no single device can carry your whole security model. What protects funds over time is a process: independent audits, bug bounties, revocable approvals, verifiable code. We hold ourselves to that standard. Your assets stay in your wallet until a swap settles, approvals stay revocable, and our contracts go through independent audits before they ship.

Shared liquidity, explained: how one wallet balance can back multiple LP positions Shared liquidity, explained: how one wallet balance can back multiple LP positions Providing liquidity in DeFi has always started with a deposit. You pick a pool, send your tokens into a contract and hope the trading volume shows up where you parked them. If it doesn't, your capital sits there anyway. 1inch Aqua launched this week with a different starting point. The model is called shared liquidity: one wallet balance backs multiple liquidity positions at once, and your tokens stay in your wallet until a swap actually uses them. Here's how it works and what it changes. Why pool deposits hold LPs back AMMs made permissionless market-making possible: deposit tokens into a pool, traders swap against it, you collect fees. The trade-off is rigidity. Each deposit is tied to one pool, one pair and one price range. Want to cover several markets? You split your balance into pieces and commit each piece in advance, before you know where demand lands. Some positions see heavy trading. Others sit untouched. A protocol can report high TVL while only a fraction of that capital supports actual trades. The result is fragmentation: capital spread thin, locked in place and often idle. What shared liquidity is Shared liquidity, pioneered by 1inch Aqua, lets the same token balance supportons simultaneously, without depositing assets into a pool. Instead of transferring tokens into pool contracts, you approve your wallet baion. Multiple positions can reference that same approved balance. The assetsstay in your wallet until one of those positions fills a swap. That reverses a core assumption of DeFi market-making. You no longer decide in advance exactly where your capital should sit. One balance stays available across several opportunities at the same time. How it works, step by step 1. You approve your wallet balance for liquidity provision. No tokens move. 2. You create positions on top of it: token pair, price range, fee settings. Positions define trading terms, they don't hold the tokens. 3. A swap matches one of your positions: the trader's input tokens land in youokens go to the trader, atomically, wallet to wallet. 4. No swap, no movement: nothing leaves your wallet, and the approval can be updated or revoked. What actually changes Better capital utilization comes first. In pool-based LPing one balance ends up fragmented across positions, each backed by only part of your capital regardless of where demand appears. With shared liquidity the full balance stays available to every positity can cover more markets without being pre-split. Self-custody is the second shift. In traditional pools your tokens leave the wontract. Here settlement happens wallet to wallet at the moment of the swap,and until that moment you hold your assets. For many LPs this feels closer to the wallet-native experience that brought them to DeFi in the first place. For developers, the same model opens the door to liquidity infrastructure that doesn't depend on an isolated pool for every new application. The JIT problem gets smaller Pooled liquidity exposes LPs to more than inefficiency. Just-in-time bots add liquidity right before a large swap and pull it out right after, capturing fees that would otherwise go to long-term LPs. Research estimates JIT attacks can cut LP fee income by as much as 44%. Shared liquidity positions aren't pool deposits, which shrinks the surface for this kind of fee sniping. In 1inch Aqua, JIT is substantially reduced by design. Shared liquidity positions aren't pool deposits, which shrinks the surface for In 1inch Aqua, JIT is substantially reduced by design. Where this goes DeFi is moving past measuring liquidity by how much capital is locked. The quemuch of that capital actually works when demand appears. Shared liquidity isone answer: a single balance available across several positions, with self-custody intact. Aqua is the first protocol built around the model. As with any form of liquidity provision, positions remain exposed to market risk and fees are not guaranteed. What bites harder for you as an LP right now – fragmented capital or JIT fee sniping?

THE STARTING BLOCK: @1inch co-founder @deacix unpacks the launch of 1inch Aqua and how shared liquidity brings new functionality to the DeFi ecosystem.
1inch Network has added 10M 1INCH tokens in incentives for LPs on 1inch Aqua, with a further 500k USDC boost from the 1inch DAO. And we’re launching with @BNBCHAIN as our first co-incentive partner. The 1inch Network incentives run for 3 months through @merkl_xyz: 5M 1INCH in volume rewards and 5M 1INCH in partner co-incentives. Every swap your positions fill earns you swap fees, plus a share of the 1INCH campaign rewards based on the volume you handle. More volume, more rewards. Available across 80+ 1INCH markets.
THE BLOCK: 1inch launched Aqua to the public, a liquidity layer letting providers back multiple positions from one wallet balance. 1inch said the rollout lets users keep tokens in their wallet until a swap fills, with exposure capped at the assets actually held.
