cofounder @RWA_xyz - data & agents for tokenized RWAs
New York, NY
Joined February 2016
Honestly don't understand the resistance to real-world assets. Either it happens or DeFi remains the most advanced gambling system ever created.

great observation by @Presto_Research showing RWA / stables secular trend. RWAs aren't boom and bust like most other crypto narratives. It's crypto's final destination

If DeFi brought billions onchain, RWAs will bring trillions. The Coalition has been a long time in the making and we're psyched to be part of an amazing group. It represents a maturing industry and collective initiative by some of crypto's biggest players.
Today, we're excited to announce the Tokenized Asset Coalition together with @AaveAave, @BuildOnBase , @centrifuge, @circle, @coinbase, @Credix_finance, @goldfinch_fi, and @rwa_xyz. The RWA tokenization industry is accelerating. Keep reading to learn more and how to join! 🧵

Never been more bullish on this industry 🚀. There's a lot more onchain RWAs than people realize and we're here to help tell that story.
🌀 NEW INTEGRATION 🌀. We partnered with Provenance to add $7B of Figure's tokenized private credit assets to our platform. Provenance is one of the biggest untold stories in RWA 🧵👇

Tomer is right. Show, don’t tell — that’s our mission. People are tired of listening to empty promises and marketing about crypto’s utility.
Wow this tweet is trending! Algo people are pointing at an algo wallet with a mastercard partnership as a rebuttal of of my "fictional" statement - that's a fair argument. Still (a) all they link to are announcements and test transactions, and (b) credit cards linked to crypto.

Contrarian opinion: @MetaMask moat is a lot shallower than people think. There simply aren't enough retail use-cases that warrant switching to wallet with a nicer UI.

Huge unlock for the utility of the Benji platform.
We’re excited to announce peer-to-peer transferability for the yield-bearing BENJI security token! This new feature will provide users the ability to send BENJI tokens to other BENJI holder’s digital wallets. One BENJI security token is a share of the Franklin OnChain U.S.

Pure DeFi is a local optimum. Crypto will move on, and leverage that DeFi infra to build real financial products, not offshore casinos. The climb to the final peak will harder, but the impact and rewards will be even greater for those who continue building.

@thiccythot_ Most private credit loans have floating rates, relative to SOFR. Most protocols, including Goldfinch, don't support floating rates. So the borrowers got a great deal here. All this to say there's lots more infra to be built out!.

Tokenized asset markets are evolving…. No longer are assets confined to either offchain or onchain realms, but rather, are interfacing with both worlds in a Spectrum of ways. An @rwa_xyz Research Thread below 🧵⬇️

Extremely bullish tokenization and real-world assets. Crypto is growing up.
TradFi firms aren't just filing for ETFs and providing soundbytes on CNBC -- TradFi research is getting active too. This 100-page BofA report is the best research writeup on the future of tokenized assets that I've ever seen from a TradFi shop.

In 2017, I knew zero people in VC. I took out $50,000 of loans and slept on couches/in cars. By 2022, I managed hundreds of millions, and had backed startups like Ramp and Anduril. The five most important lessons learned building a venture firm *truly* from scratch:.

Every crypto infrastructure project I speak with is aligning themselves towards tokenization of RWAs. So fret not @Crypto_McKenna, we’ll soon see that infra put to work.
Every VC I speak with is obsessed with infrastructure once again. Infrastructure is important but ultimately it's not the driving force that brings in the next wave of adopters. I am willing to be a contrarian. Rollups are sufficiently scaling w/ EIP-4844, ZK-Rollups will exit.

Met a founder at Token2049 building an onchain AI inference protocol. He vaguely answered questions about uses cases “we will work with hospitals to produce verifiable results for patients”. Then I asked wen token - and without a second waiting: “Q2 2025.”. Stay frosty out there.

In 2025, every L1 is looking to take a cut of Tron's dominance as the payments chain. Expect the next generation of liquidity mining to come in the form of L1's providing end-to-end subsidies for stablecoin transactions (includes on/off ramps).
