Injective’s Governance Proposal for McDonald’s Stock Perpetuals

• Injective’s governance proposal aims to bring McDonald’s on-chain stock perpetuals to decentralized exchange dApps, expanding access to traditional assets in DeFi.
• The proposal leverages Injective’s iAssets and Oracle Module to enable efficient, transparent, and secure trading of McDonald’s stock through perpetual contracts.

Injective is making another stir in the decentralized financial sector with a new governance proposal that seeks to include McDonald’s stock perpetual contracts into its network’s dApps ecosystem.

If approved, this innovation will give traders greater possibilities in digital asset trading by allowing them to exchange McDonald’s stock on-chain with a perpetual contract mechanism.

Injective Bridges Traditional Stocks with On-Chain Trading

Injective has lately regularly contributed fresh ideas to the world of digital asset trading. By means of its governance concept, the platform aims to incorporate McDonald’s shares into the on-chain environment, thereby broadening the range of financial markets accessible in a decentralized manner.

Beyond the technical details, this action also shows how Injective keeps searching for means to link the blockchain world with the traditional financial system.

Although traditional exchanges handle most stocks, Injective offers a more open and decentralized alternative via perpetual contracts. Users of this mechanism can engage in trading without having to hold the underlying asset necessary.

Leveraging iAssets for a Seamless Trading Experience

The infrastructure that Injective has established will surely determine the success of this proposal. Previously, as we have reported, Injective has introduced iAssets—an innovation that lets financial instruments be created and programmed on-chain without first capital or too much collateral.

By means of the on-chain order book mechanism in the Exchange Module, the Oracle Module employed by Injective also contributes to supplying real-time McDonald’s stock price data, therefore ensuring correct transaction execution.

Apart from efficiency, this technology guarantees that trade remains transparent and safe. McDonald’s stock trading in perpetual contracts can run with better liquidity and fewer transaction costs thanks to this infrastructure than under more traditional systems.

Injective Collaborates to Expand On-Chain Fund Access

Besides that, Injective has developed strategic alliances to support its position in the field of decentralized finance. Injective partnered with Nomura’s subsidiary, Libre, and Laser Digital, to establish a blockchain-based institutional fund issuing and distribution platform on March 4, 2025.

Through this cooperation, institutional and accredited investors have access to several on-chain investment funds, including those from financial giants like BlackRock.

INJ Token Faces Volatility Amid Governance Decisions

Before this McDonald’s-related proposal emerged, Injective had already introduced the AI Index Perpetual Market (AIX) through its decentralized exchange, Helix, on January 30, 2025. This solution offers an unprecedented trading tool by combining crypto with on-chain stock assets.

Naturally, the viability of this invention depends heavily on community acceptance and governance. Even if Injective has created a solid ecosystem, on-chain governance systems help stakeholders to support the proposal.

Conversely, at press time, the INJ token was trading at about $9.46, down 5.86% over the last 24 hours and down 12.77% over the last 7 days. Price swings, however, do not always reflect the long-term viability of a project, particularly if the proposal is approved with strong implementation and marks success.
