Join @RyanRodenbaugh for Q2's real-world asset (RWA) market recap. In this video, we highlight:
• Sector Growth: The tokenized US Treasury market surged 50%, reaching nearly $1.9B in TVL. @BlackRock's BUIDL continued to be a major player, while @arbitrum's $35M investment in T-Bill products signaled growing DAO and institutional acceptance.
• Private Credit: @centrifuge saw steady growth, but @goldfinch_fi faced challenges with a $5.9M partial default, sparking debates on risk management in DeFi lending.
• Fundraising Boom: Despite challenges, investor confidence remains high. @MountainUSDM, @Securitize, @BackedFi, @_Fortunafi, @centrifuge, and @m0labs all secured significant funding this quarter.
• Emerging Trends: New proposals and Layer 2 solutions are emerging to make RWAs more accessible and scalable. Initiatives from @TrueFiDAO, @maplefinance, @centrifuge, @plumenetwork, and @KintoXYZ aim to reduce barriers to entry and improve user experience, potentially opening RWAs to a broader audience.
• Looking Ahead: We discuss key questions for the future of RWAs, including the evolution of accessible products and potential new protocol designs.
