This is what an English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Web3 VC investor thinks will happen in the US election tomorrow.

The main driver behind the prediction is historical polling bias that seemingly favours Democrats and have done so for the last 2 GEs.

I breakdown why I'm predicting this map below 🧵

[Morgan Krupetsky @MorganKrupetsky]

RWA market cap on Avalanche is up nearly 12% over the past 30 days. Distributed RWA market cap is up 22%+.

This is just the beginning.

The ~$20T asset-based finance (ABF) market is one of the biggest opportunities to bring real-world credit onchain.

This week, we’ve been in a number of conversations with traditional private credit managers and allocators who are increasingly interested in deploying capital into ABF opportunities that are originated, verified, administered, and distributed onchain.

Many of these allocate anywhere from $200M to billions of dollars across private credit, structured finance, and ABF strategies.

For all the crypto-native users and liquidity in the market today, traditional capital allocator AUM is orders of magnitude larger.

That is the user base @avax is competing for.

And we’re building the ecosystem to make it possible: originators, credit infrastructure platforms, fiat-to-stablecoin rails, legal enforceability, asset verification, servicing, administration, and distribution — all designed to make Avalanche the infrastructure layer for institutional capital.

Salus in DC 🇺🇸
Productive week of meetings around critical minerals and digital trade.
Do not underestimate the speed, focus and coordination with which the US is moving to secure its critical minerals supply chain - and the appetite for trusted, transparent solutions to make that happen.

And so it begins

Private credit is having its moment.

Assets under management have surged 60% in the last 5 years to $1.6T.

Yet it’s still early.

Kasu is helping build the next era of credit markets—from the ground up.

Here’s what’s happening 🧵

Ending profit was ~£410.

Prediction map was perfect.

Paid the cash into my local council which had a RBL donation box.

I'm not really a betting man so any winnings will go to the Royal British Legion who look after Soldiers and their families in the UK.

Remembrance day is next Monday.
