Proud to see the work that we've been doing with infiniFi mentioned in this fantastic roundup!

While our primary focus has recently been on providing the liquidity for many of the mentioned venues to perform their typical operations (announcements coming soon), alongside facilitating liquidations on lending markets such as AAVE, our frontier development has focused on something entirely novel: performing dealer-like operations on RWAs.

I won't spill the beans too much, but the existing solutions (including ours) all only work really well during liquidations - for providing secondary liquidity to exit positions on an as-needed basis, they're overly extractive.

We have found a solution to this problem and have been quietly building it for a few months now. Will have more to share in the near future.

Super excited to be working with the team @ether_fi!

The #DeFiUnited from @aave is basically the same clearing model proposed by the BIS

What's really interesting is that OTC clearing started pretty decentralised but then was recognised to be fragile

G20 leaders agreed in 2009 that standardised OTC derivative transactions should be centrally cleared

DeFi is increasingly having to answer the same questions as TradFi when it comes to risk; and this will continue to accelerate with tokenised fixed income assets

It might be worth @aave starting to do what centralised clearing houses did; require "members" to stake collateral. Members in this sense I think means token issuers. This would apply at the vault structurer level for @eulerfinance and @Morpho.

More DeFi strategy layers are becoming accessible directly through infiniFi.

Users can now open @OdysseyFi siUSD positions natively inside the infiniFi app, simplifying access to additional yield opportunities.

Expanded tooling - Built to Scale.

[Scooter @proof_of_scoot]

@Logo_Daedalus Hope you don't expect these guys to ever credit you for putting them on to this stuff

[Odyssey Finance @OdysseyFi]

Advanced yield strategies are now live in the @infiniFi app via Odyssey.

Users can now open boosted siUSD positions directly inside infiniFi, making it easier to increase exposure and access additional yield 👇

[infiniFi @infiniFi]

We’re continuing to expand access to more DeFi yield toolsets, with advanced yield strategies now accessible directly through the infiniFi app.

@OdysseyFi siUSD positions can now be created directly through the infiniFi app, multiplying your exposure to siUSD & boosting your yields.

This now streamlines access to additional strategy layers through a unified workflow.

A New Chapter Takeover is live!

The @eulerfinance Chapter takeover starts now.

For the next week the infiniFi points page transforms into a Euler boosted Chapter & so do the point multipliers.

infiniFi Points Boost Multiplier:
- 3x Supply USDC to the infiniFi Earn Vault
- 1.5x Loop siUSD on Euler
- 1x Loop liUSD 4wk on Euler
- 1x Loop liUSD 13wk on Euler

THIS FREE MIT LECTURE ON MARKOV CHAINS WILL TEACH YOU MORE ABOUT QUANT TRADING THAN A 2-MONTH WALL STREET INTERNSHIP.

Not a bold claim.

A provable one.

The algorithms running inside Citadel, Renaissance Technologies, and Two Sigma are built on this exact mathematical foundation.

The quants printing money every single day did not learn this from a finance influencer or a trading course.

They learned it from lectures exactly like this one.

Here is why Markov Chains are the most underrated concept in quantitative finance:

Every price movement is a state transition.

Every trading strategy is a probability model.

Every edge a quant has is built on understanding what state the market is currently in and what state it is most likely to move to next.

Markov Chains are the mathematical language that describes all of it.

Wall Street pays analysts $200,000 a year to understand this framework.

MIT put the lecture on YouTube for free.

The people who watch this tonight will understand the mathematical foundation of quantitative trading at a level most finance graduates never reach in their entire careers.

The people who skip it will keep trading on gut instinct and wonder why the systematic funds are always one step ahead.

One hour. Free. From MIT.

This is the most productive thing you can give your week.

Royco Dawn has tranched liUSD from infiniFi.

The most profitable trade in traditional finance: borrow short, deploy long, pocket the spread. That margin has historically belonged to institutions. @infiniFi puts it on-chain.

The protocol issues iUSD, a 1:1 stablecoin receipt, split into two tranches: siUSD (liquid: Aave, Morpho, Spark) and liUSD (locked: Pendle principal tokens, Ethena, basis positions).

liUSD holders lock capital for a fixed duration and sit in first-loss position. If strategies take a hit, they absorb it first. In exchange, they earn the highest yield in the system. siUSD holders stay liquid, sit behind liUSD, and earn a lower but more stable return. The sequence is hardcoded: liUSD first, then siUSD, then base iUSD.

Dawn tranches liUSD-4w, infiniFi's four-week locked deposit token with 100% deployment into fixed-duration positions. These holders already accepted illiquidity and first-loss exposure for a higher rate. That tradeoff is what makes it worth tranching.

Senior depositors earn liUSD-4w's yield with a contract-enforced Junior buffer in front of them. Junior depositors provide that buffer and capture a premium for the coverage they bring.

infiniFi already built loss absorption into their protocol. Dawn adds another layer, making liUSD-4w accessible to capital that previously couldn't enter, and more liquid than the underlying position itself.

@simonthekid_ Very prescient my friend. Credit intermediation is the future of RWA secondaries. Soon.

@baoskee @WhiteHouse The office of the presidency was deliberately given more power than any monarch had in Europe since William of Orange. It's a myth we fought the revolution against kingship. In a sense the President is a King, just an accountable one.

[infiniFi @infiniFi]

Big unlock for yield.

Fixed-maturity infiniFi positions are now live as collateral on @eulerfinance.

4w & 13w liUSD tranches + siUSD can now be borrowed against
while maintaining yield exposure + an early exit via EulerSwap.

Liquidity, without breaking duration.

[Kirk @0xKmack]

For the first time, you can now swap out of your 4wk and 13wk locked iUSD, which opens up looping of the 4wk and 13wk locked positions!

Yields are looking quite good..game changer.

[Scooter @proof_of_scoot]

liUSD looping is finally here! Huge shoutout to the guys at @eulerfinance & @Cassa_fyi for all their support to get this live.

Users can now get levered exposure to the higher yielding duration tranches @infiniFi has to offer, while having the piece of mind that there is a viable exit path via secondary liquidity generated through Euler Swap, should they need it.

I believe the future of DeFi belongs to the teams who can think in terms of not just net assets or cash flow, but balance sheets.

Credit intermediation, endogeneity, refinancing, converting the multilateral into the bilateral, these are the metas of the near future. More to come...

[Euler Labs @eulerfinance]

Fixed-maturity @infiniFi positions are now usable as collateral on Euler, with an early-exit path

infiniFi is the curator managing this market, while @Cassa_fyi provides infrastructure and automation monitoring tools

4-week and 13-week liUSD tranches and siUSD live now.

[Stephen | DeFi Dojo @phtevenstrong]

I remember asking @RobAnon why they didn't participate in the Aavethena loop a few months back.

He told me they didn't take on leverage as a rule, and I was surprised how adamant he was about that.

@infiniFi took zero losses during the rsETH exploit.

Lessons in there.
