Chintai and Splyce target retail access to tokenized securities on Solana

New S-Tokens give retail users indirect exposure to institutional-grade assets on Solana, reflecting DeFi’s push beyond accredited investors.

Real-world asset (RWA) protocols Splyce and Chintai have launched a new product on Solana designed to give retail users access to institutional-grade tokenized securities — a move that could broaden the appeal of RWA tokenization on one of the world’s largest blockchains.
