- BlackRock BUIDL: $500M+ tokenized fund on Ethereum, paying treasury yields daily — institutional signal that tokenized securities infrastructure is production-ready, not experimental
- The T+0 argument: Blockchain settlement eliminates the 2-day settlement window (T+2) that creates counterparty credit risk in traditional markets — $1B+ in capital freed from settlement float across the system
- Ondo Finance OUSG: $200M+ tokenized short-duration treasury, 24/7 tradeable, DeFi composable — use as collateral in lending protocols while earning 5% yield was not possible with traditional treasuries
- Yield-bearing stablecoin thesis: Why hold USDC (0% yield) when tokenized treasuries pay 5%? — stablecoin market share will migrate to yield-bearing RWAs if regulatory clarity permits
- What institutional adoption means for DeFi: RWA collateral brings real-world yield into on-chain lending protocols — Aave accepting BUIDL as collateral creates a bridge between traditional finance and permissionless lending that was structurally impossible 3 years ago
