Spout raises $2M to offer 0% interest loans against tokenised US stocks

Spout, a Solana-based lending protocol, has raised $2 million in a strategic round. Investors include Draper Dragon, Anchorage Digital, Flow Traders, and Taisu Ventures, with strategic backing from Solana Labs. Users post tokenized US stocks as collateral and borrow USDC at a flat 50% loan-to-value ratio, paying 0% interest. Spout instead sells covered call options against the collateral each week, and uses the premium to pay lenders. Charles Schwab and Fidelity charge 12.075% a year on margin balances under $25,000. Private banks offer securities-based lending at 4% to 6%, but mainly to clients who meet high minimums. Spout is not yet on Mainnet. Its beta runs on Solana Devnet, and a private beta will launch soon. The funding will go towards growing the team and building its credit layer.
