Jacob IsenbergA Negative FED: The Domino of the TradFi Crisis - Florence Finance - Medium
Find out about the ideal bridge that could hold the key to a new financial future With the central pillar of TradFi now operating at a financial loss, there are significant implications on what the future holds for the entire realm of finance. Yet there are likely several semi-interdependent paths, which could occur and we will logically dissect the strengths and weaknesses, of these various outcomes. For reference, we’ll build off of some information discussed in Lyn Alden’s recent piece on ...
Jacob IsenbergReal World Asset Lending: The Next Big Trend in Crypto?
Find out how this $150 million investment in Real World Asset Lending is supporting our vision at Florence Finance Our friends over at MakerDAO have put their money where their mouth is, and together with Centrifuge, have made one of the most significant on-chain investments ($150m) into real-world assets to date. Not only does this show how seriously they are taking their real world assets (RWA) initiative, but it also displays some vital insight as to where the market is headed. We at Flore...

Find out the top three innovative ways that it would look:
As the price of cryptocurrencies continue to bottom out amid this long bear market, more and more questions are arising within the industry, as to where the underlying value actually lies. The fact of the matter is that, focusing on the latest smart contract upgrade, NFT art, or protocol fork will not allow Web 3 to realize its full potential. What will though, is the utilization of real world assets (RWA), among the diverse set of alternative capitals.
If you’re not familiar with them already, the list of alternative forms of capital includes: social, cultural, spiritual, material, experiential, intellectual, natural, and of course financial. Our current economy is overwhelming based on financial capital, as evidenced by metrics such as gross domestic product (GDP), which count things like hospital bills as wins. Within legacy centralized structures, this has perhaps been the easiest logistical way to document everything, though the decentralized technology of Web 3 presents us with another means.
By far and away, the most important retooling that needs to be done across our society, is to make our systems fundamentally syntropic. Syntropy essentially means that, an endeavor through its essence alone, gets better and better over time. Fortunately for us, the foundations of Web 3 are rooted in blockchain, which mimic natural processes through their nodes and networks. However technology itself, will always be entropic, meaning it will depreciate as time goes on.
This is a crucial point to distinguish, as focusing on the technology alone, will only lead us into more entropy. In the meantime though, RWA are being integrated, into several top big-time DeFi protocols. Centrifuge and MakerDAO are two prominent examples, that have delved into the RWA space, with large investment sums. Yet one of the criticisms among crypto purists, is the fact that they are investing into government bonds, which goes against the ethos of Web 3.
Since the RWA trend is still in its early stages, this should nonetheless be considered a positive development, as it’s proving a viable example for further use cases. To date, other mechanisms have also allowed RWA to lend to businesses, including ones in emerging markets. In the financial realm alone, there is potential for exponential growth, as markets relating to precious metals, real estate, securities, and derivatives, still need proper RWA bridges.
It is also likely, that an emphasis on and effective utilization of RWA, will determine the overall fate of Web 3. If perceived values of crypto continue to decrease, TradFi markets will maintain the upper hand, with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) as its emerging main pillar. Yet this is where the alternative capitals factor in, since as we discussed previously, the legacy economy operates almost entirely out of the financial capital mindset.
3 Ideas on How a Web 3 RWA Economy Would Look
Recognition and rewarding for quality of life:
With an understanding and valuing of the alternative forms of capital, people would be encouraged to live more holistic lives, that are aligned with their purpose.
More abundance and elimination of poverty:
Since RWA could theoretically incorporate all types of capital, this diversity would make it more robust and lucrative, compared to the primarily financial-based economy. Accordingly, people would be able to profit off of whichever capitals they possessed the most.
Decentralized flow of resources:
Ideally, decentralized organizations would be the main structures, by which people would obtain their livelihoods. In turn, this would allow resources to flow throughout communities with ease, before cycling back to a decentralized organization.
The Pilot Project
Salama Eco, is a grassroots eco-organization, which is linking the alternative capitals in eco-communities to Web 3. With valuable RWA such as land, real estate, and regenerative experiential knowledge, we are dedicated to created a vibrant new Web 3 economy.
