Insane how you could be in the coolest place ever but then you get back to California and all of the colors are like 1.5x more saturated and the light is slightly brighter. Absurd place

Enjoyed discussing our raise, initial RWA rollout, and plans to bring TradFi liquidity on-chain on @therollupco today.

Thanks @andyyy and @robbieklages!

I must not give in to jetlag. Jetlag is the mind-killer.

Update: this is happening.

Next week, @Lighter_xyz vs @variational_io debate order books vs RFQ for RWAs on The Chopping Block.

Stay tuned!

[Variational @variational_io]

We’ve raised $50M led by @dragonfly_xyz to go all in on RWAs and bring TradFi liquidity on-chain.

Today, we're launching Phase 1 of our RWA rollout to stress-test our infrastructure before bringing 100+ TradFi markets on-chain this summer.

@ThinkingBone Aren’t you in Ohio?

@coldhealing you in those places that we can't pronounce

[Lucas @variational_lvs]

Every new RWA market on an on-chain orderbook has to bootstrap liquidity from scratch. One asset at a time. One incentive program at a time. One limited puddle of crypto-native depth at a time.

Meanwhile, the dealers and venues that power the underlying TradFi markets are sitting on trillion-dollar liquidity oceans built over decades.

The venue that wins RWA perps will be the one that connects to the deepest existing liquidity in the world, enabling thousands of listings with high quality execution.

We’ve been building this model at Variational since the beginning.

Phase 1 of our RWA rollout launches in May. Variational Summer.
