@MsMelChen Why?

Battling for licenses since 2011.

A first mover in the industry (2011!!) with 50+ licenses to Robinhood for $200m.

Their competition valuations?
Binance (2017) $80b+
Coinbase (2012) $50b+
Kraken (2011) $20b+

@MsMelChen In this context, I like to bring up the company Bitstamp.

The regulators decided to butcher a company so heavily that the owners sold it into private equity (acquired by Robinhood thereafter for pennies).

1000+ high paying IT jobs GONE just because of suicidal overregulation.

If you're an institution going into RWA, what do you choose?
A. The fastest chain
B. The most secure chain
C. The cheapest to transact chain
D. The chain throwing most incentives
E. The compliance-first chain

Answer?
None of this really matters (not a deal breaker) 💫

[Harry Tran @HarryTran_RWA]

still sounds crazy to me that

BNB basically went from $0 to $3.67B in RWA in just 1 year

other chains during the same period:
Ethereum: $8.3B → $18.8B
Solana: $344M → $2.57B
Stellar: $513M → $1.83B
Liquid Network: $692M → $1.44B

@binance Great and on point!

@alive_ Blockchains = shopping mall islands connected through a river with each other.

There will be a winner - but it will not play the island game.

It will be the next Amazon.

🧵 @The_DTCC is moving its "Great Collateral Experiment" into full production in 2025. This is what it means for TradFi and DeFi:

[Ben 🔶 Web3 | RWA & Institutional @web3benx]

@CantonNetwork = PRIVACY
@solana = COMPLIANCE
@ethereum = SECURITY
@BNBCHAIN = DISTRIBUTION
⚫️🟠
The Tokenized Future has been built in '25.
The US regulator will signal the direction in '26.
Other jurisdictions will race to be "next".
Retail is coming en masse in '27

8/ TLDR:
Web3 + Institutional = converging.

$100T in custody and the largest institutions demanding the best concrete technical stack offering SECURITY, PRIVACY, COMPLIANCE and DISTRIBUTION.
