Almost 9k ONyc holders now, but the 93% utilization is the number that stands out to me; it shows people aren’t just holding ONyc, as the capital is actually being put to work.
tokenized assets need more than tokenization.
the settlement layer matters too.
the launch of pontes is a meaningful step toward making institutional tokenized asset settlement work with central bank money.
the infrastructure is catching up.
Tokenized finance got a new settlement connection today.
The Eurosystem launched Pontes, allowing eligible institutions to settle wholesale tokenized-asset transactions in central bank money.
The cash side of the trade is getting an upgrade.
I’ve talked about tokenizing property, bonds and other real-world assets before.
But tokenizing an AI model? That’s a different conversation.
Think about it.
Someone builds an open-source AI model that developers eventually use across different apps. The model can become valuable, but funding and rewarding the people behind it isn’t always straightforward.
That’s what @AlpacaNetworkAI is experimenting with through Modelz.
An open-source AI model can be turned into its own token and funded through what they call an Initial Model Offering (IMO). If the model gains real usage, the bigger idea is for fees from that usage to flow back into its token economy.
So instead of only investing in the AI app people see, you could potentially get exposure to the model powering the app underneath.
Of course, tokenizing a model doesn’t automatically make it valuable. People still have to actually use it.
But I find the concept interesting.
We’ve spent years asking what assets can move onchain.
AI models might be one of the more unusual answers.
CLARITY didn't pass. That's a delay in Washington, not a reason your portfolio stays scattered across five apps.
No new market-structure law. No off-switch for crypto.
Just more headlines and the same old problem: BTC on an exchange, ETH in a wallet, stables somewhere else, and perps on another screen.
Agencies can still move under existing rules. Banks can still build custody. Liquidity doesn't wait for 60 votes.
After a vote like this, you don't need another take. You need one view of the whole book.
Connect CEX + wallets. See the stack. Trade or swap from there.
Regulation can wait. Fragmentation shouldn't.
Most of us connect our wallets to different platforms and move on. Months later, you probably cannot even remember half the permissions you have given.
That is why I like this approach from Sumex. Being able to see those old approvals and permissions in the same place you manage your portfolio makes checking them feel less like a separate task.
26.1% APY will definitely get attention, but I’m more impressed that the new PT-ONyc market is already at $11M. People aren’t just looking at these yields anymore; they’re actually putting capital to work.
I have realized managing crypto can get messy fast.
One CEX for trading, another wallet for DeFi, another app for tracking, then a few more tabs for analytics.
Sumex is trying to bring all of that into one place.
You can connect your existing CEX accounts and Web3 wallets, track your portfolio, trade, swap across chains, and access other tools from one dashboard.
And since it is non-custodial, your assets remain under your control.
The idea is simple: less jumping between apps, more control from one place.
The numbers are good, but 11.54% is not really the part I find most interesting. It is getting that yield from reinsurance while most of what happens in crypto has little to do with how that yield is generated. That is a different kind of exposure to have on-chain.
Another new partnership and integration for Sumex!
@QuickEx_Tweets is now integrated into the Sumex ecosystem, bringing fast, non-custodial swaps, deep aggregated liquidity, and competitive rates across a wide range of assets.
And what better way to celebrate than with a new campaign?
This time, we’re doing things differently:
• 1 day = 1 epoch
• Up to $152 in rewards per epoch
• Rewards distributed daily
• A fresh chance to compete every single day
New integration. New routes. New rewards - every 24 hours.
Now LIVE on Sumex x Quickex!
If you have been using ONyc across DeFi, this points boost is worth knowing about: 10x on ONyc loops and 16x on Exponent until September 21, a nice extra on top of the yield.
