The six seven effect🗿 $RED

RedStone is now live on Filecoin, bringing FIL/USD price feeds to the network. Most people know @Filecoin for decentralized storage, but there's a growing financial side to the network too. Storage providers need FIL as collateral, lending protocols work with FIL deposits, and more applications are starting to handle payments onchain. But there's one thing these applications need: a reliable way to know how much FIL is actually worth in dollars. That's where @redstone_defi comes in. RedStone has deployed its FIL/USD push price feed on Filecoin mainnet, with another feed available on the Calibration testnet. Here's how it works: Instead of constantly writing new prices onchain, the feed updates whenever FIL's price moves by 0.5% from the previous update, or when the four-hour heartbeat is reached. The updates come with provider signatures and timestamps, which are verified by the onchain contract before the price is stored. And because Filecoin supports Solidity through its EVM runtime, developers can simply use latestRoundData() to access the price. Pretty straightforward for anyone already building EVM applications. Now, why does this matter for Filecoin? Take FIL lending as an example. Storage providers can borrow FIL to support their operations, while lending pools supply that capital. Even if a loan is denominated in FIL, protocols may still need its dollar value to calculate collateral requirements, borrowing limits, or liquidation thresholds. And it's not just lending. Imagine a storage service charging users in dollars but accepting payments in FIL. The contract needs to know how much FIL equals the amount being charged. Without a reliable price feed, that conversion becomes another problem for developers to solve. With RedStone's infrastructure now available, builders have an existing price feed they can integrate instead of setting up their own oracle infrastructure. This could also support other applications, including: - FIL-backed lending markets - Storage payments and settlements - Liquid staking token valuations - Insurance products - AI and data services with onchain billing And the integration isn't limited to FIL/USD. More custom feeds can be added as new use cases emerge. What's interesting is the timing. Filecoin has been pushing beyond simply storing data, with more attention going toward paid onchain services, AI applications, and the financial activity surrounding storage. The more these applications grow, the more important reliable pricing becomes. For RedStone, this is another addition to its infrastructure across 110+ chains. For Filecoin developers, it's one less thing to build from scratch. The integration itself might seem like a small technical update, but having reliable pricing already available makes it easier for developers to experiment with financial applications on Filecoin. Curious to see what builders do with it.♦️

Tokenized stocks are growing fast. But most of that capital still isn’t doing much onchain. @redstone_defi just dropped a new research report with @FourPillarsFP and @AleaResearch, and one number stood out to me: Tokenized stocks went from around $639M to $3.17B in onchain value over the last year. That’s 395% growth. Sounds great. But the interesting part is only around 2.6% of the supply is actually being used as collateral in DeFi. ▼ The problem isn’t really tokenization anymore We already know how to put stocks onchain. There are different models, from actual issuer-sponsored shares to custodial products and wrappers that simply give you exposure to the underlying stock. The market is growing, exchanges are distributing them, and roughly 42% of tokenized stock supply is already eligible to be used as DeFi collateral. Yet almost none of it actually is. So what’s stopping it? ▼ DeFi moves fast. RWAs usually don’t. A DeFi lending position can become unhealthy in minutes. If the collateral needs to be liquidated, the protocol needs liquidity basically right away. But real-world assets don’t always work like that. Redemption can take days, sometimes longer, and liquidity onchain can be too thin to dump a large RWA position without taking a serious hit. That creates a weird situation. You can tokenize an asset. You can even make it eligible collateral. But if a lending protocol can’t safely exit that collateral when something goes wrong, there’s not much reason for it to take the risk. That’s probably why the 2.6% number matters more than the $3.17B headline. ▼ This is where settlement starts becoming important RedStone has been building around this with Settle. The idea is pretty simple. When an RWA position needs to settle or get liquidated, KYC-whitelisted solvers compete to provide the liquidity immediately. The solver takes over the underlying RWA and deals with the slower native redemption process, while the onchain side can settle atomically. So DeFi doesn’t have to wait around for traditional settlement timelines. And honestly, I think this is where the next part of the RWA story gets more interesting. Tokenization itself isn’t the finish line. The real test is whether those assets can actually be used. As collateral. Inside lending markets. Inside leverage loops. Inside applications that expect liquidity 24/7. $3.17B tells us tokenized stocks are growing. 2.6% tells us the infrastructure around them still has a long way to go. And that gap might be a much bigger opportunity than simply putting more stocks onchain.

Regulators and institutions want digital assets with built-in sanctions screening. We’ve launched RedStone Sanctions Oracle, which checks wallets against 463 sources covering OFAC, UN, EU, and other lists, with weekly timestamped updates. Integrate with a single line of code.

RedStone September 2026 Recap September felt like the month the pieces around institutional DeFi started connecting. More RWAs came onchain, but the bigger focus was what happens after issuance: pricing them, using them as collateral, managing risk, and actually being able to exit when DeFi needs liquidity. Here’s what stood out: ♦️ Settlement started catching up with tokenization @NYLIManagement’s HYB, tokenized by @Centrifuge, is integrating RedStone Settle. HYB’s native redemption runs at T+3. That works for a traditional fund, but not for a lending market that may need to liquidate collateral immediately. Settle bridges that gap through auctions between KYC-verified solvers, giving holders and lending markets a path to T+0 liquidity while the solver handles the fund’s normal redemption cycle. The same problem showed up again with HYBOND. @OpenEden_X brought the tokenized version of a $2.4B BNY institutional credit strategy to @BNBCHAIN, with RedStone delivering its NAV onchain. RedStone Settle is the next planned integration, bringing the same T+0 model to HYBOND. RedStone Finance ♦️ Private credit became usable across more markets Neuberger Berman’s HINC moved beyond simply existing onchain. The @Securitize-tokenized high-yield credit fund became collateral on @Loopscale on Solana, where eligible users can borrow $USDG against it. HINC doesn’t have a continuously traded market price. Its authoritative NAV is calculated by the administrator, then delivered onchain by RedStone through TSSO. Pareto’s FalconX Credit Vault expanded in a similar direction. @redstone_defi now republishes its NAV from @Ethereum onto @Monad, @plumenetwork and @megaeth, through both push and pull feeds. Instead of rebuilding the pricing connection every time the credit token reaches a new chain, the same standardized NAV can follow it. And once a lending market can reliably value the token, holders can borrow against it without exiting the underlying credit position. ♦️ Tokenized equities kept moving toward DeFi RedStone added end-of-day price feeds for $CURR, $FGNX and $FGNXP, tokenized equities issued through @Securitize. Stocks trade during fixed market hours. DeFi doesn’t. That makes reliable onchain pricing especially important if these assets are going to become collateral instead of simply sitting in wallets. And the size of that gap is becoming clearer. RedStone’s latest research, published October 6 using data through September 28, puts tokenized stocks at $3.17B in onchain value, up 395% year over year. But only 2.6% of that supply is being used in DeFi. Issuance is growing much faster than utility. RedStone Finance ♦️ The infrastructure stack got wider @Brickken, with $660M+ in tokenized value, selected RedStone as a strategic data infrastructure partner. Assets issued through Brickken can access RedStone price and NAV feeds, @CredoraNetwork risk ratings, and T+0 settlement through RedStone Settle. That puts pricing, risk and settlement much closer together instead of treating each one as a separate problem. RedStone also went live on @Arc from mainnet launch, providing price and NAV data for tokenized funds, yield-bearing assets, LSTs/LRTs and BTCfi. And on @StellarOrg, new SEP-40 feeds brought earnUSDC from @GamiLabs and @USDT0_to into the network’s DeFi data layer, allowing both assets to be priced for collateral use. ♦️ Pre-IPO markets kept testing a new kind of oracle @entropyIO crossed $1B in cumulative trading volume across its HIP-3 markets on Hyperliquid in September, with RedStone Live providing the oracle infrastructure. The month also brought an OpenAI pre-IPO perpetual and the first $GPRO perp on Entropy. These markets are interesting because some of the underlying assets don’t have a normal public spot market to reference in the first place. That turns the data layer into part of the market structure itself, not just something sitting underneath it. ♦️ Research started looking beyond the current market September ended with two bigger-picture reports. RedStone and @KaiaChain published The Seoul Standard, looking at South Korea’s path toward institutional digital assets. KRW pairs account for roughly 30% of global crypto spot volume, yet Korea still lacks a legally recognized won stablecoin that can bring that liquidity into onchain collateral and settlement. Its tokenized-securities framework has already passed and takes effect in February 2027, while the stablecoin legislation remains unresolved. Then RedStone and @Brickken looked further ahead with their Agentic Capital Markets report. AI is already common inside asset management, with 69% of surveyed asset managers describing AI as a co-pilot, but only 6% reporting decision-making use. The interesting part isn’t just whether AI can trade. An agent needs assets it can understand, data it can trust, permissions defining what it can do, and infrastructure capable of actually settling the result. That starts connecting tokenization with an entirely different layer of automation. ♦️ The bigger picture? September kept coming back to the same problem from different directions. Getting an asset onchain isn’t the finish line anymore. A credit fund needs a trustworthy NAV. A tokenized stock needs a usable price. A lending market needs collateral it can liquidate. A T+3 fund needs a way to behave like a T+0 asset. And eventually, machines need all of that information in a form they can actually act on. That’s where RedStone kept expanding in September: from bringing data onchain to building more of the infrastructure that makes onchain assets actually usable.

Everybody saw the assignment that didn’t exist xD

Tokenized stocks total $3.17B+ in onchain value. Only 2.6% of that is used in DeFi. Read our latest report with @FourPillarsFP and @AleaResearch, revealed at @TokenizeThisNYC Singapore edition, to learn why. Features insights from: @Securitize, @DinariGlobal, @SuperstateInc, @extendedapp, @lista_dao, @JupiterExchange, @CredoraNetwork.

Honestly, nothing beats seeing raw, unfiltered updates from the ground.  @MarcinRedStone cycling through Singapore to squeeze in meetings with Asian financial institutions at #TOKEN2049 shows just how relentless the momentum is right now! 🇸🇬  Pushing institutional-grade data feeds and settlement tech forward every single day. Massive respect for the dedication!🫡

RedStone is now ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. But what does that actually mean for an oracle? A certification badge is easy to post. What matters is what was audited and what the certification actually covers. @redstone_defi received the certification after an external audit of its Information Security Management System. The certificate was issued by @SGS_SA United Kingdom Ltd on August 28, 2026 and is valid through August 27, 2029. ▼ What is ISO/IEC 27001? ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard for an Information Security Management System, or ISMS. In simple terms, it sets requirements for how an organization identifies, assesses and manages information-security risks. So this is not just about security tools. It is about having a structured system around how security is managed and improved over time. ▼ What does that mean for RedStone? RedStone's infrastructure takes external financial data and delivers it to blockchain networks, applications and APIs. That involves multiple stages: ♦️ Data acquisition ♦️ Processing ♦️ Validation ♦️ Aggregation ♦️ Signing ♦️ Distribution ♦️ Onchain delivery And RedStone's certification scope covers infrastructure across that pipeline. ▼ What exactly is covered? The stated scope includes: ♦️ Data validation, indexing and aggregation ♦️ Signing and distribution ♦️ Onchain delivery, web apps and APIs ♦️ Smart-contract lifecycle management ♦️ Cryptographic key management ♦️ Nodes, relayers and gateways ♦️ Monitoring, alerting and Proof of Reserve ♦️ Cloud-hosted systems So the certification has a defined technical scope, not just a badge attached to the RedStone name. ▼ Why did RedStone pursue it? RedStone describes the certification as a formal framework around security practices it says were already being used, including infrastructure redundancy. It also says the certification gives asset managers a recognized, independently audited reference point for its information-security management. That matters when RedStone's data infrastructure already supports tokenized funds connected to @BlackRock, @ApolloGlobal, @hamilton_lane and @vaneck_us. ▼ One important distinction ISO/IEC 27001 certification does not mean nothing can ever go wrong. It means an independently assessed system exists for identifying, managing and improving information-security risks within the certified scope. RedStone already had the oracle infrastructure. Now the security-management framework around that infrastructure has an internationally recognized certification too. Not another feed. Not another chain. Something deeper in the stack.

The six seven effect🗿 $RED

nahhh he already got the screenshots ready.💀

Tokenizing an asset might actually be the easy part now. That was my biggest takeaway after going through the first five episodes of The RedStone Podcast. I’m not trying to summarize every episode here. What interested me more was the pattern that shows up when you put all five conversations next to each other. Different guests. Different parts of the market. But they keep running into different versions of the same problem: Getting an asset onchain is only step one. > @Securitize brings in the compliance side. Institutions still need rules around ownership, transfers, access and who is actually allowed to hold or use an asset. Moving something onchain does not make those requirements disappear. > Then @AvaLabs adds another layer. Institutions want privacy, KYC, permissioning and more control over how they operate. But if everything ends up inside a completely isolated environment, you lose a lot of the value that comes from being connected to the wider onchain economy. > @StellarOrg gets closer to the jump from pilot to production. A demo can work perfectly and still never become a real product. Once real money is involved, risk teams, compliance teams, internal processes and operational requirements start mattering a lot more. > Then @Brickken brought up something I think gets overlooked. You can tokenize an asset while most of the important information about it is still sitting inside PDFs, documents and disconnected databases. If protocols, software or AI agents cannot properly read the terms, valuations and product information, then the token itself only solves part of the problem. > And then @Grayscale gets to the liquidity gap. An asset can be onchain, but if redemption of the underlying still takes weeks or months, that creates a pretty obvious mismatch with DeFi. Onchain markets move 24/7. Lending, collateral and liquidations do not always have the luxury of waiting for traditional settlement timelines. > This is also where @redstone_defi fits into the picture. RedStone is not the issuer, the chain or the asset manager in these conversations. It sits across the stack, helping bring pricing, NAV data and other infrastructure onchain so these assets can actually interact with protocols and applications. That is what made the series click for me. The RWA stack is not just tokenization. It is: - Compliance - Connectivity - Risk infrastructure - Readable data - Liquidity and settlement That is the difference between an asset simply existing onchain and actually being useful there. And honestly, that second part is where things start getting much more interesting.

Today, me, @toneri404 and @noyami69 finally got to meet up IRL. We spent some time talking, laughing, and sharing ideas, and, of course, discussing RedStone, the community, and everything going on around it. It honestly feels different when the people you’ve only known through the community become friends you can sit down and chill with. Really enjoyed today. Grateful for moments like this and for the people I’ve met through RedStone♦️
