Where stocks become stable dollars. nUSD is the dollar backed by real US equities. Stake into snUSD, earn 6% APY. Built on @Solana, @xStocksFi & @Kamino
Thank you first to every $NEST holder & early $NUSD holders
You are the sole investors of Nest: $6M circulating market cap, $15M FDV, and $2M in the @MeteoraAG TVL. All of it earned or bought on the open market, with no VCs, and no KOL allocations or advisor tokens. Every $NEST is held by someone who bought their tokens to be here
And thank you to @solana, @xStocksFi, @kamino, @PythNetwork, @backpack and every solana builder that made Nest possible. Building here has been different from anywhere else in crypto: every protocol is open, every founder is reachable, every leader has shown up. There is no ecosystem where a two-week-old team could move this fast with this much support
This is only the beginning
Nest's nUSD just crossed $1,000,000 in TVL
Tokenization is one of the fastest-growing sectors in crypto, and Solana is leading. @xStocksFi at ~$500M in supply. @Backpack scaling fast across SPCX, MU, SNDK, and DRAM. Over 250,000 combined holders
Nest turns those positions into productive capital. Tokenized stock holders can deposit their equities as collateral, mint nUSD against the position at 3% APR, and stake into snUSD for ~6% APY. The equity exposure stays, and the dividend flows through, while the dollar earns
The projections match the trajectory:
- BlackRock: $5 Trillion in tokenized assets by 2030
- Citi: $5 Trillion
- BCG: $16 Trillion
- Bernstein sees the stablecoin market at $2 trillion
@Solana is on pace to capture the majority of tokenized equity flow
Nest is pioneering the stablecoin layer for that flow, and Season 1 ends September 8th
Every dollar of nUSD in circulation is backed by $1.50 of real reserves across three sources
$791,000 total TVL, with:
- $414K in PSM USDC (52%)
- $235K in tokenized equity collateral (30%)
- $143K in @MeteoraAG LP positions (18%)
$526,000 of nUSD in circulation
The $NEST token sits at $11.5M FDV, $4.59M market cap, and $1.64M of liquidity on the @MeteoraAG pool. snUSD continues to pay ~6% APY from real protocol revenue
Season 1 runs in parallel. 100,000 points distributed pro-rata every day across snUSD, nUSD, CDP debt, and Meteora LP positions. $6,000 weekly stablecoin rewards for @MeteoraAG NUSD liquidity providers
Two weeks in, the protocol is shipping, the dollar is being used, the wallets that showed up first are getting paid
All verifiable at https://t.co/L4DgP8odR0
Two weeks ago, there was no stablecoin backed by tokenized stocks
Today, NUSD lives on @solana:
120 users holding $588,000 TVL backing $439,000 $NUSD circulating, with 9 collateral types live
2 NUSD @MeteoraAG pools live with $110,000 TVL between $SOL, $USDC and $NUSD
32,800 $NEST burned via daily buyback from Nest's stablecoin surplus revenue
How we got here, in a few tweets ๐๏ธ
some alpha for Ansem and my people
starting tomorrow, you can farm 2 airdrops at once:
- xStocks, @xStocksFi
- nest, @NestUSD
so far there's barely any competition on the nest leaderboard, only around 100 wallets participating
as always, risks exist, dyor
nest is cool, and likely one of the best ways to get exposure to the tokenized stocks meta occurring on solana
allows people to borrow against their stocks for stables and use those stables to do other things onchain, honestly prob better than borrowing against most crypto bc less volatile and easier to manage downside
Appreciate this! We're building Nest all in public, attending events, shipping with community feedback, integrating partners as we go. Every part of nest is built for $NEST: surplus revenue auto-buybacks daily, governance flows through the token; value and growth compounds to holders
A ponzi pays returns from new investor money. Nest pays returns from real protocol revenue: stability fees, USDC lending yield on Kamino, and dividend rebasing on the equity collateral
Every nUSD is over-collateralized by real assets
Numbers verifiable at https://t.co/L4DgP8nG1s
@blknoiz06@SammmXBT 3% APR to borrow nUSD against your stocks
most retail brokers charge 6-12% (Schwab, Fidelity, IBKR, Robinhood), and the cash they give you just sits there
What is coming: a $NEST/nUSD pool bootstrapped by the team, additional collateral types, deeper partner integrations (including a conversation with @privy_io on a card product that lets you spend the dollar without breaking the equity position), and more rewards on top of liquidity providers
The team is also showing up and working with partners, if you're in San Francisco and want to yap about stablecoins and make some new stablecoin-pilled friends, join us at the Stablecoin Night tomorrow

Borrow against your tokenized stocks, mint nUSD, deposit into sNUSD for yield, spend through a card. The equity never moves and the dollar earns until you tap to pay
Same product institutions get from IRA loans, on-chain, in one wallet. @privy_io's update made it possible, we're building ๐๏ธ

Where the protocol stands today:

Zero VC, zero KOL allocations, every $NEST in circulation was bought on the open market
