@gate_ventures @RobinhoodApp So basically, you get the stock price exposure without actually owning the stock. That’s basically an important difference to understand

[Gate Ventures @gate_ventures]

We know the Memestocks play on @RobinhoodApp Chain went viral, but how do these stock tokens actually work?

Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited (RHJ) issues them as ERC-20 tokenized debt securities. They provide exposure to the underlying stock’s price, but do not represent direct ownership or grant shareholder rights.

Bitstamp Global Limited (BBVI), acquired by Robinhood, is the sole Authorized Participant. Only KYB-approved APs can mint and redeem stock tokens directly with RHJ; Regular users and developers can only buy existing tokens on the secondary market.

@gate_ventures @0xPolygon @0xMarcB @hella_tifficult @Gate Thats an interesting take on how permissioned systems might just be a stepping stone like the old banking infrastructure before digital wallets took over. Makes sense that the real shift would happen once adoption gets critical mass

[Gate Ventures @gate_ventures]

🔮 "My view is in ten to fifteen years, all money's going to be on-chain." — Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs @0xPolygon @0xMarcB

Why? Because regulated, permissioned systems may be a bridge, but they're not the destination.

In this episode of the Gate Ventures Podcast, we explore how a chain once known for being "fast and cheap" is evolving into the Open Money Stack, a fully vertically integrated, blockchain-based payments company.

We also cover:
🔹 Marc's journey from law firm partner to Chief Legal Officer at dYdX and CEO of Polygon Labs
🔹 The strategy behind Polygon's acquisition of Coinme and Sequence
🔹 USDT on Tron or Polygon? Why users may not actually care
🔹 When will banks lose their dominance over money movement?
🔹 The biggest alpha: Polygon already powers 97%-99% of all x402 agentic payment transactions

@gate_ventures @solana Governance, lower issuance, and 100% fee burns could reshape how value flows back to
$SOL
.

[Gate Ventures @gate_ventures]

@solana has recently pushed forward 3 major Governance Proposals, all pointing to the same broader theme: redesigning how the network is governed and how value accrues to SOL.

・SGP-0001 | Solana Constitution Establishes a formal stake-weighted governance framework for major protocol decisions.

・SGP-0002 | Double Disinflation Raises the annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%, bringing SOL to its 1.5% terminal inflation faster and reducing issuance by ~18.9M SOL over 6 years.

・SGP-0003 | Resource & Inclusion Fee Proposed redesigning transaction fees so higher resource usage would generate higher fees, with the resource-fee portion 100% burned.

Put together, Solana is tackling three fundamental questions:
→ Who governs the network
→ How much SOL gets issued
→ How network activity accrues value back to SOL

The Evolution of Crypto Capital Markets & Where DeFi is Today

🌟Guest: Ivailo Jordanov, Partner at Paper Ventures @ivailoj @Papervc
🎤Host: Jeremy Wallis, Partner at Gate Ventures @fintechblocks

DeFi proved that markets can run without intermediaries. But execution, clearing, margin and collateral — the parts of capital markets that actually move size — are still mostly off-chain. So where does durable value really accrue as this stack migrates?

Ivailo joins us to map where crypto capital markets are today, what's genuinely moving on-chain, and what stays hybrid for longer.

We’ll discuss:
🔷 Where durable value accrues next — execution, settlement/clearing, or collateral & margin infrastructure
🔷 Pure on-chain venues vs. hybrid models that keep traditional rails for larger tickets
🔷 What's still blocking institutional order flow and bigger ticket sizes from moving on-chain
🔷 Structural gaps in institutional stablecoin liquidity, FX conversion & atomic settlement
🔷 Programmable markets: tighter spreads and capital efficiency, or new fragmentation and basis risk?

Beyond the Dollar: Inside Plume's Institutional Open Finance Playbook

🌟Guest: Chris Yin, Co-founder & CEO of Plume @plumenetwork @chriseyin
🎤Host: Tiffany Chang, Gate Ventures @hella_tifficult

Almost everything onchain today is denominated in USD. But if RWAs are going to carry real institutional volume, the rails have to work for the assets institutions actually hold — and for the currencies they actually hold them in.

Our guest Chris Yin, Co-founder & CEO of Plume, joins us to unpack how Plume went from an RWA chain to the platform institutions issue and distribute through — and why the licenses, not the tech, decide who gets to build next.

We'll cover:

🔹 What "Open Finance for institutional assets" really means — and why Plume shifted from RWA chain to issuance & distribution platform
🔹 Why an SEC transfer-agent registration and a DTCC working group seat are the licenses that decide who builds next-gen securities infrastructure
🔹 How the Shinhan MOU opens RWA's non-dollar chapter — and what it takes to bring Korean Won assets onchain
🔹 Why the hard part is matching supply with distribution — connecting institutional credit to crypto-native users
🔹 How Plume Vaults turns strategies once reserved for large allocators into products anyone can hold, borrow against, and trade

Gate Ventures' new podcast is now on YouTube & Spotify - Moving Wall Street Onchain: Inside Superstate's $700T Bet

🔹 YouTube: https://t.co/SlymU82DKD
🔹 Spotify: https://t.co/GA2i3GvlFU

In this episode, Gate Ventures' Tiffany sits down with Jim Hiltner @HiltnerJim , Co-founder of Superstate @SuperstateInc, to explore the future of tokenized capital markets — from why institutions are looking for programmable finance, to what needs to happen before tokenized equities go mainstream.

Key Takeaways:
💡 From TradFi to Superstate:
Jim's journey spans traditional finance, CFA, Compound Treasury — where he helped build institutional adoption and secure an S&P credit rating — to founding Superstate with a mission to bring trillions in traditional capital markets on-chain.
💡 Institutions want programmable finance:
The future may not be about replacing intermediaries, but upgrading them. Models like Aave Horizon show a path forward: DeFi infrastructure, KYC-compliant participants, 24/7 settlement, and trusted counterparties.
💡 Not all tokenization is created equal:
There are three models: From wrapped tokens to institutional infrastructure and native issuance — where the token itself represents ownership.
💡 24/7 securities trading is a regulation problem, not a technology problem:
Superstate demonstrated RFQ trading of GLXY on Jupiter with Wintermute. The infrastructure is ready — the next unlock depends on regulatory clarity.
💡 The missing DeFi primitive is securities lending:
Tokenized assets can already work as collateral across protocols like Aave Horizon, Kamino, and Morpho, but unlocking lending markets could bring even more value on-chain.

Planning Before an Exploit: Risk Thinking in Modern DeFi

Monet Supply @MonetSupply — Head of Strategy at Spark @sparkfinance and former risk consultant at Block Analytica — for a deep dive into what's actually broken in DeFi today. They get into why the biggest exploits stopped being smart contract bugs, why he checks liquidity before he checks yield, and how institutions moving $10M–$100M at a time should think about putting capital on-chain.

Key takeaways:
💡 The yield story is over — DeFi went from "a few percent above risk-free" two to three years ago to roughly matching T-bill rates today. The new value prop is liquidity, speed, and access
💡 Liquidity is the first metric he checks every morning: if liquidity closes, the exit door closes — and at institutional size, the exit door is the whole trade
💡 The risk has moved: DeFi Summer was re-entrancy bugs, today it's key management. Oracles, bridges, multi-sigs, and custody all collapse into the same question — who holds the keys
💡 Defense in layers: rate limits on price oracles so a feed can't print infinity or zero, time locks to buy reaction time, and moats instead of a single point of failure
