PANews reported on December 10th that Superstate, led by Compound founder Robert Leshner, announced the launch of "Direct Issuance Programs." This program allows publicly traded companies to raise funds directly from KYC-verified investors by issuing tokenized shares, with investors paying in stablecoins and settling instantly. The service will run on Ethereum and Solana, with the first offering expected to launch in 2026. The program requires no underwriters, complies with SEC regulations, and aims to promote the on-chaining of capital markets.
