Who owns the infrastructure connecting deep impact investing to institutional liquidity: decentralized communities or regulated markets? As real-world assets scale, how do we bridge frontier market governance with institutional-grade distribution? From aligning community impact with global yield to designing compliant, AI-driven on-chain assets, we're cutting through the noise.

How an RWA credit facility blows up 1. You deposit USDC into an onchain credit facility and get a yield-bearing stablecoin in return ("USDX"). USDX is backed by a portfolio of loans to offchain borrowers, according to the marketing. 2. USDX's issuer creates a Morpho market where you pledge USDX and borrow USDC, up to a 91.5% LLTV. You go to Morpho, post your USDX, borrow USDC, buy more USDX, and repeat. You now have 10x leverage. 3. Morpho values USDX using the portfolio’s NAV, relayed onchain by a “Verified NAV Oracle.” The oracle doesn't verify that the loans are worth that amount, or that the collateral can be liquidated. They pass along the issuer's self-reported NAV, which increases mechanically at par plus the coupon rate. If you bought on Day 1 at $1.00, and the annual coupon was 7%, it would be worth $1.07 on Day 365. 4. The borrowers begin to deteriorate offchain, payments stop flowing in, covenants are busted. Your Morpho position looks fine because the USDX price from the oracle continues to increase. 5. Finally the issuer marks down the NAV, on the quarterly schedule. Assuming a 91.5% liquidation threshold, a position at 90% LTV only needs a 1.64% decline to be liquidated. Several looped positions immediately fall underwater. 6. The markdown causes a run. USDX holders submit redemptions at the published NAV. The issuer pays the first redeemers from its cash sleeve, leaving the remaining token supply backed by a less liquid loan book. 7. Once the cash is exhausted, the issuer pauses redemptions, or begins selling loans at a discount. USDX is listed on DEXs - to facilitate orderly liquidations in situations like this - but it trades far below NAV because it can no longer be converted into cash. 8. On Morpho, USDC suppliers withdraw the remaining liquidity, causing borrowing rates to spike and pushing the debt positions further underwater. 9. A liquidator shows up and buys USDX, repaying a portion of the debt. They try and trade it on the DEX but it can't absorb the volume. They try and redeem directly with the issuer but they are stonewalled. They find out the token doesn't actually represent a legal claim on the collateral, or really anything, despite what the marketing said. 10. No other liquidators show up. At a 91.5% LLTV, the liquidation bonus is only ~2.6%, not nearly enough to step in and pursue recovery. 11. You lose your initial investment. The CEX "Earn" depositor who unknowingly funded the whole operation (via an embedded curator vault), loses their entire position.

Laser Digital, the digital asset arm of Nomura Group, has invested in ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 This one genuinely means a lot to me. When we first started speaking, nearly two years ago now, I could see we were closely aligned. We both believed finance would move onchain, but that doing it properly would require credible institutions, strong risk standards, and built to scale. Today, Laser Digital is partnering with @ZIGChain, investing in ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 and working alongside the ZIG Markets team to bring financial products onchain. For me, this completes the loop we have always believed in: real onchain businesses generating real economic activity, and all the value created by that business flowing back to the native asset at the centre of the ecosystem. Seeing an institution of this calibre back both what we are building and the asset behind it is a powerful validation of what we’ve been working toward. A long time coming, and we’re just getting started.

1/@LaserDigital_, the digital asset arm backed by Nomura, has given us their backing, investing in ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 and teaming up with ZIG Markets to bring institutional-grade credit onchain, built and governed the way banks and family offices actually expect.
