[Will Beeson @will_beeson]

1/ Today, we're launching Carry by @multiliquid_xyz, a turnkey liquidity management platform for institutional capital allocators.

Stand up your own RWA liquidity facility. Set pricing. Manage risk. Deploy across a variety of assets and venues, all from a single dashboard.

[Sonya Kim @sonyasunkim]

We are truly lucky to have the support of the @metalayervc team - and couldn’t have worded it better ourselves

[Mippo 🟪 @MikeIppolito_]

RWA looping is going to be the biggest trend in 2026.

I wouldn't be surprised if RWAs single handedly bring DeFi out of the gutter here.

Proud to support 3F with what they're building, big things ahead 🫡

[Paul Frambot 🦋 @PaulFrambot]

Bringing RWAs onchain through lending markets seems like the obvious next step for onchain finance, but it comes with a million nuances and blockers.

@sonyasunkim and @3f_romeo just raised $4M for @3f_xyz to bridge the gap between defi primititves and institutions.

And of course, it's built on @Morpho 💙

[The Block @TheBlockCo]

We are excited to announce that @3f_xyz has raised $4 million in seed funding led by @Maven11Capital, with participation from @FPrimeCapital, @MetalayerVC, @GSR_io, Susquehanna Crypto, @Gate_Ventures and others.

3F is building the onchain infrastructure that unlocks leveraged exposure to tokenized real-world assets.

"If your users disappear the moment incentives end, you never had users. You had mercenaries."

@mickey_graham (@metalayervc) moderated a sharp panel on airdrops and incentives at InnovateDenver with @AyeshKiani (@monarq_mgmt), @Vir_Anand (@KronosResearch), @mkriak (@ConsensysMesh), and @danmon_ (@wintermute_t). The room debated what actually works, what's broken, and what comes next.

[The Tie @TheTieIO]

Are Airdrops And Incentives Fueling Real Adoption Or Just Phantom Users?

Incentives drive activity. Does it last?

Liquidity is the real bottleneck for RWA adoption in onchain finance. Excited to be powering a new facility alongside @multiliquid_xyz designed to unlock that constraint.

[Will Beeson @will_beeson]

Today, we announce the first dedicated liquidity facility providing 24/7 instant RWA redemptions via @multiliquid_xyz on @solana.

Support for @vaneck_us @JHIAdvisors @FasanaraDigital assets & more.

Initial DeFi lending integrations will be announced soon to scale looping/RWAFi.

[Multiliquid @multiliquid_xyz]

1/ Today marks a major milestone for Multiliquid.

Together with @metalayervc, we’ve launched an institutional liquidity facility on @solana, enabling instant redemptions of tokenized real-world assets.

🎬 NEW EPISODE 🎬

Andy Kangpan, Co-Founder and Partner at Metalayer, joins Will Beeson to explore how crypto is entering its institutional phase — and what that means for venture capital, asset management, and the future of on-chain finance:

[David Winton @David_A_Winton]

Great color on why crypto seems so muted.

[Andy Kangpan @kangpandabear]

A blockchain-enabled, 24/7 NYSE isn’t just about extended trading hours. It materially disrupts a U.S. equity market structure designed in the 1970s by completely transforming large portions of the post-trade ecosystem. This will quietly become one of the largest consequences of mass market crypto adoption over the next few years.
