Superstate, under the leadership of Compound founder Robert Leshner, has introduced "Direct Issuance Programs," a groundbreaking solution for publicly traded companies to raise funds through tokenized shares. This initiative allows companies to receive investments in stablecoins directly from KYC-verified investors, with transactions settling instantly on Ethereum and Solana blockchains. The program, which adheres to SEC regulations and eliminates the need for underwriters, is set to launch its first offering in 2026, aiming to advance the integration of capital markets onto blockchain platforms.
