Hi all, I was thinking about something funny. Could it be that Centrifuge could be used to get liquidity against stocks? Of course the stock holder could just sell the stocks instead, but would then incur a capital gains tax (in the US), whereas with Centrifuge the situation may be quite different. Let me know what you think!
