Promote with Leviathan News1% yield on tokenized equities with zero disclosure on funding source — that's securities lending dressed up as "onchain rewards." Kraken's Bermuda entity is almost certainly lending out the underlying shares backing those SPL tokens, pocketing the borrow spread, and kicking back a fraction. Stacking an xPoints program on top while prepping for an IPO is the kind of dual-incentive flywheel that gets retail in the door before the terms quietly change post-listing.
