It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Nathan Allman, Ondo's founder. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones.
Nate’s brilliance, humility, and drive shaped every part of what Ondo is today. His belief in the power of technology to create a more open, accessible financial system lives on in everything we build. The impact he had on this industry, and on all of us personally, cannot be overstated.
Nate also helped us build a durable organization with experienced leaders across all facets of the business. Ian De Bode, Ondo Finance’s longtime President, will serve as CEO. Ian has been leading our strategy, product, and day-to-day operations for over two years and has the full confidence of the leadership team.
We will continue building what Nate started. That is the most meaningful way we know to honor him.

@upshift_fi's Core USDC is now on @pendle_fi Here's why this is my favorite stablecoin farm today.
TLDR: it's a one-time deposit into the best performing DeFi yield strategies in the market, with strong returns, diversification and up to 20x Upshift points on YT/LP:
Today, coreUSDC has been listed on @pendle_fi.
Core USDC is a tokenized Earn vault diversifying across the best-performing USDC vaults in DeFi and CeFi.
20x Upshift points on YT/LP (max multiplier) + ~15% APY on PT
And now, you get the obvious composable kicker of Core USDC being on @pendle_fi, which offers 20x Upshift points, real liquidity and currently a fixed 12% yield on its PT pool.
