RWA has been a hot topic as of late, so let's take a deeper look at the top RWA protocol's to get a sense of where the market is going and discover what's gaining traction: The top 3 RWA Protocols on DeFiLlama are:stUSDT (Tron) stUSDT is the first RWA protocol on Tron, and is decentralized token that serves as receipt of investment in RWA. Users can deposit USDT and earn passive income by participating in investments in real-world assets, lead by the RWA DAO. The DAO invests in RWA through the following process: Pre-investment discussion. The Advisory Council discusses the potential RWA investment opportunities and investment strategy proposed by RWA Arrangers, and decide whether or not to follow up.Pre-vote. A pre-vote will be initiated in RWA DAO to decide whether a proposal should be carried out by RWA Arrangers.Contract creation and execution vote. After the proposal passes the pre-vote, developers from RWA Arrangers will create the stUSDT-RWA Contract and carry out voting on whether to execute the proposal.Execution. Once the execution vote has passed, the stUSDT-RWA Contract will be automatically activated, and RWA Arrangers will set up the initial contract parameters.Ondo Finance (Ethereum & Polygon) Ondo Finance offers users investments in a range of real-world assets, such as US Treasuries and corporate bonds, by investing in US exchange-traded funds on users behalf. The first three funds offered by Ondo focus on low-risk assets backed by stable, liquid, real-world assets:OUSG provides exposure to short-term US Treasuries with a target yield of 4%+.OSTB provides exposure to short-term corporate bonds with a weighted average investment grade rating and a target yield of 5%+.OHYG provides exposure to high yield bonds with a target yield of 8%+.Matrixdock (Ethereum) Matrixdock offers users access to RWAs through its STBT token. STBT (Short-term Treasury Bill Token) is a USD stablecoin that provides exposure to U.S. Treasury securities that mature within six months and reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by the U.S.🐦 Last Week in Crypto Twitter (CT)Tweets & Narration provided by @BrokeDegenFAFz. Geist will be closing its doors down, seemingly for good, thanks to Multichain. Alternatives on Fantom include the Granary and Scream. Geist Finance @GeistFinance 1/2 After confirmation from Multichain that the funds will not be recovered, we are announcing that Geist will not reopen. Because Chainlink oracles are tracking the value of real USDC, USDT, WBTC or ETH, they are not aware of the real value of Multichain assets. 195 8:18 AM • Jul 14, 2023 Arbitrum security council vote will soon go live.
