One of the things we're most excited about today's launch. We say Tokenize the World and that means making these opportunities affordable for, the world.
This is awesome, love the $500 min. @Securitize looking to onboard more retail traders 👀

.@3f_xyz is a sleeping giant I'm guessing 10 RWAs and $500M leverage capacity this time next summer
Turning the dials ahead of public launch 🛞 Subscription/redemption for 3F's RWA leverage vaults just went from weekly → daily for T+1 assets Get in and out of @Bitwise USCC and @centrifuge JAAA leverage daily

Vaults emerged as DeFi’s preferred vehicle of capital formation, ripping from $3B at the start of 2025 to $18B to date largely on the back of @Morpho with strong additions from @veda_labs , @ConcreteXYZ, @upshift_fi, @mellowprotocol, @lagoon_finance, and @EmberProtocol. The next step-change in vault TVL growth is the evolution of onchain balance sheets and a transition towards holistic portfolio management. Most RWA vaults today offer single-name leveraged exposure, which is great to deliver a singular product to market enabling other allocators to craft their own portfolios with it. A layer above that, groups like @Bitwise are offering professionally-managed portfolio-style vaults holding various RWAs, which is ultimately where @O2Ocapital sees the majority of onchain asset management moving as vaults grow to $100B these next 2 years and RWAs account for half of that. The vault landscape will look very much like ETFs. Single-name assets are 1) delivered by issuers, 2) enhanced by DeFi curators, and 3) aggregated by onchain portfolio managers. Step 3 is the de facto distribution layer akin to being included in an index or an ETF (which is everyone's goal!). The key: RWAs need to be delivered in a DeFi-composable manner to be included in that portfolio manager universe - that's where you see the real differentiation between a simple tokenized asset and a product with an ecosystem around it. This will be more pertinent than ever as issuers vie to capture the anticipated $1T+ stablecoin flows post-GENIUS Act January 2027. Deeper dive on this coming next week 💯

Follow-up: I finally pointed it at myself. The tool nine of my best friends still can't use just graded my own draft an A+ and made me the #1 team in the league. ESPN projects me to finish dead last. Full review 🧵

Also worth admitting: plan adherence 27%. Only 4 of my 16 picks were among the Planning Room's top targets for that slot. I built a good roster. Just not the one my own tool spent all week simulating.

So: A+ and 27% title odds from my model. Dead last from ESPN. My model grades the roster on paper. ESPN grades whatever actually takes the field. Week 1 settles it. Thanks again @jaredbrecherr for the underlying drafting model.

Welp my nine best friends have found this and are not happy too say the least, screenshots as promised!👇
