K2 launches on Stellar with lending infrastructure built for regulated assets and institutions. Offers pooled markets for broad liquidity, isolated markets for new assets, and new gated markets for whitelisted institutional participants. Audited by Halborn, Watchpug, Code4rena; monitored by Hypernative for threats.
K2 is a new lending protocol launching on Stellar designed to serve both open retail markets and permissioned institutional ones. It features three market types: pooled markets for shared liquidity across established assets, isolated markets for new or volatile assets without exposing the whole protocol, and new gated markets for whitelisted institutional participants to trade regulated assets with KYC controls. The protocol has been audited by three independent firms (Halborn, Watchpug, Code4rena) and partners with Hypernative for continuous real-time threat detection. K2 targets the growing onchain presence of regulated real-world assets on Stellar, offering institutional-grade lending infrastructure that combines open protocol liquidity with compliance-ready controls.
