[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-IGoJUT6pEUckkEcu) \n\n### Block Street\n\n​[Block Street](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block-street) is a [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure project focused on enabling trading, lending, and financial applications for tokenized stocks and real-world assets. Founded in 2024 by [Hedy Wong](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hedy-wong) and Wu, the platform aims to address fragmentation in tokenized equity markets through two core components: Aqua, a liquidity aggregation and execution layer that connects users with multiple tokenized asset issuers and market makers through an RFQ-based system, and Everst, a decentralized lending protocol designed for tokenized equities that allows users to supply assets, earn yield, and borrow against their holdings through overcollateralized pools. Built initially on the [Monad](https://iq.wiki/wiki/monad) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), [Block Street](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block-street) focuses on combining on-chain settlement with traditional financial market functions such as liquidity routing, [collateral](https://iq.wiki/wiki/collateral) management, and risk controls. The project announced an $11.5 million funding round in October 2025 to support development, infrastructure expansion, and integrations with [tokenization](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tokenization) providers and [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) platforms.
