If you believe that the tokenization of real-world assets is inevitable — just like we do — then today’s unveiling of @NUVAFinance represents a significant step in that direction.

While most have only just started jumping on the RWA narrative, @Figure has been originating natively onchain assets on @provenancefdn since 2018 in stealth mode with over $15B+ TVL.

We couldn’t think of a better partner to do this with and excited for what's to come!

Proud of this series with @FTDA_US that is fresh from our recently announced partnership. More initiatives to come over the next few months!

Tomorrow marks a huge milestone for $CHECK and the beginning of a new chapter for @AnichessGame.

Over the past two years, the team has been building with unwavering conviction through the bull and bear. While many gaming projects came and went, the team never stopped building - from launching multiple games, NFTs, to endless partnerships and in-person tournaments. It was never a project built on hype but rather on the fundamental belief in what strategy, gaming, creativity and education can become together.

Launching on @aeroxyz reflects the team's community-first ethos to ensure TGE happens in the most open, transparent, and fair way possible.

Proud of what @jesusislord @NFTom_ETH and the rest of the team has achieved, and I am confident they'll continue to underpromise and overdeliver.

Cutting through the noise, I see it as a net positive for the space that we’re having these kinds of discussions between respected players in their fields.

However, it's misleading to compare @Figure with those vaporware RWA projects that inflate TVL metrics just to launch high-FDV tokens. Figure didn’t suddenly appear to ride the RWA narrative — it’s been pioneering the use of blockchain for private credit lending since 2018, well before RWAs were even a meta. It is also important not to underestimate the level of due diligence and audit companies must pass to become listed on Nasdaq, a feat that not many crypto companies can match.

On the other hand, @DefiLlama is an OG that has earned the trust of the DeFi community over the years by consistently protecting the integrity of on-chain data. Both perspectives matter: tokenizing RWAs for institutional adoption and efficiency gains versus building permissionless and composable liquidity in DeFi. In fact, @NUVAFinance was created precisely to bridge these worlds — bringing on-chain and permissionless liquidity into institutional-grade, high-quality RWA assets.

At the heart of this discussion is how can we best account for RWAs in a way that respects the merits and legitimacy of different approaches so that we can continue to advance our industry and become mainstream. It would be unfortunate to let this get overshadowed by emotions/fud imo.

We are still too early in crypto (and particularly RWAs) to be pvp-ing. Figure’s IPO is a huge win for our space, and maintaining data integrity is just as critical for the long run.

Congrats to @Figure on its Nasdaq IPO - proof that natively on-chain RWAs, which are proven to be faster, cheaper, and safer, are becoming mainstream.

Extremely excited to soon make these institutional-grade assets accessible to investors everywhere through @NUVAFinance. Stay tuned!
