Abstract

Circle đang chuyển hướng chiến lược với việc ra mắt blockchain lớp 1 Arc nhằm giải quyết những thách thức trong chuyển tiền xuyên biên giới và giảm sự phụ thuộc vào thu nhập từ lãi suất. Arc hướng đến việc cung cấp tốc độ giao dịch dưới một giây, tính riêng tư có thể cấu hình và phí gas bằng USDC, giúp doanh nghiệp không cần nắm giữ tiền mã hóa để trả phí. Với hơn 100 đối tác thử nghiệm bao gồm các gã khổng lồ như BlackRock và Visa, Circle kỳ vọng tạo ra một mạng lưới thanh toán ổn định và bảo mật. Tuy nhiên, Arc phải đối mặt với sự cạnh tranh từ Tether, Stripe và các nền tảng truyền thống, cùng những thách thức về thanh khoản, quy định và khả năng chấp nhận của doanh nghiệp. Thời điểm ra mắt phù hợp khi Cục Dự trữ Liên bang giảm lãi suất, buộc Circle phải tìm kiếm mô hình kinh doanh mới đa dạng hơn.

Năm 2026 đã đến, khi chúng ta thực hiện cuộc gọi video với mọi người trên khắp thế giới, độ trễ cuộc gọi nhiều nhất chỉ là một hoặc hai giây, với chi phí biên gần như bằng không. Tuy nhiên, khi liên quan đến việc chuyển tiền giữa các tổ chức, quốc gia hoặc hệ thống, chúng ta vẫn phải đối mặt với thời hạn chót, phí quá cao và phụ thuộc vào cửa sổ thanh toán đóng cửa vào cuối tuần.

Tiền mã hóa từng hứa hẹn giải quyết vấn đề này thông qua stablecoin, và stablecoin đã tồn tại hơn một thập kỷ. Tuy nhiên, mặc dù stablecoin mang lại khoản tiết kiệm đáng kể và có thể định lượng, các doanh nghiệp và tổ chức thương mại vẫn chưa hoàn toàn chấp nhận nó để chuyển tiền.

Chúng ta đã từng thảo luận về vấn đề này, và cách những lo ngại về quyền riêng tư vốn có trong blockchain công khai trở thành rào cản ở đây. Chúng tôi cũng đã liệt kê cơ sở hạ tầng riêng tư là chủ đề tiền mã hóa số một cần theo dõi trong năm 2026.

Nhà phát hành stablecoin Circle đã nắm bắt cơ hội này thông qua blockchain lớp một Arc của mình, để đáp ứng nhu cầu của ngành về quyền riêng tư và cơ sở hạ tầng stablecoin.

Trong phân tích chuyên sâu này, tôi sẽ giải thích tại sao Circle lại xây dựng một blockchain L1 vào lúc này, thách thức lớn nhất mà nó phải đối mặt là gì, và động thái này có thể thay đổi hệ sinh thái stablecoin như thế nào.

Câu chuyện bắt đầu......

Tại sao lại ra mắt blockchain L1 vào lúc này?

Hiện tại, hoạt động kinh doanh phát hành stablecoin hoàn toàn được thúc đẩy bởi thu nhập từ lãi suất và phụ thuộc nhiều vào kênh phân phối. Kể từ khi lên sàn vào tháng Sáu năm ngoái, điều này đã trở nên rõ ràng hơn thông qua báo cáo công khai của nhà phát hành USDC.

Tôi đã đề cập vào năm ngoái:

> Trong quý III, mặc dù lượng lưu thông của USDC tăng hơn 100% so với cùng kỳ, nhưng thu nhập từ dự trữ chỉ tăng 66%, đạt 711 triệu USD. Phần còn lại bị bù đắp bởi việc Cục Dự trữ Liên bang (Fed) cắt giảm lãi suất. Lợi suất trung bình giảm 96 điểm cơ bản, khiến thu nhập dự trữ của Circle giảm 122 triệu USD.

> Trong quý III, cứ mỗi 1 đô la thu nhập dự trữ kiếm được, Circle cần chi hơn 60 cent cho chi phí phân phối và giao dịch, bao gồm tích hợp ví, niêm yết trên sàn giao dịch, chương trình khuyến khích và chia sẻ doanh thu.

Ủy ban Dự trữ Liên bang Hoa Kỳ (Fed) đã bắt đầu cắt giảm lãi suất. Vào tháng 12 năm 2025, họ đã cắt giảm lãi suất hiệu dụng 25 điểm cơ bản xuống còn 3,50%–3,75%. Ngân hàng trung ương cũng thông báo ngừng chính sách thắt chặt định lượng (QT) vào ngày 1 tháng 12.

Gần đây, nền kinh tế Mỹ cũng đang gửi tín hiệu cho các nhà hoạch định chính sách rằng đã đến lúc nới lỏng lập trường để đối phó với dữ liệu không như mong muốn.

Chỉ số Quản lý Thu mua (PMI) ngành sản xuất của Viện Quản lý Cung ứng (ISM) Hoa Kỳ vào tháng 12 năm 2025 là 47,9 (dưới 50 cho thấy sự thu hẹp), đây là tháng thứ 10 liên tiếp thu hẹp. Báo cáo việc làm tháng 12 sẽ được công bố vào cuối ngày hôm nay, nhưng dữ liệu trong vài tháng qua vẫn không có gì nổi bật.

Khi bạn đặt tất cả những điều này lại với nhau, nó giải thích tại sao Circle đang chuyển hướng điên cuồng sang một mô hình kinh doanh mới.

Nhà phát hành này muốn giảm sự phụ thuộc vào việc lãi suất giảm trong ngắn đến trung hạn, đồng thời xây dựng một động cơ thứ hai có thể dựa vào các kênh phân phối rộng hơn, đa dạng hơn.

Sự chuyển đổi của Arc

Arc chính là hướng chuyển đổi mà Circle đang trông cậy vào.

Circle xây dựng Arc như một blockchain lớp một mở, được thiết kế chuyên biệt cho các khoản thanh toán xuyên biên giới doanh nghiệp với doanh nghiệp thông qua stablecoin. Nó cũng nhằm mục đích cung cấp tính xác định cuối cùng trong vòng chưa đầy một giây (tốc độ xác nhận giao dịch cuối cùng) và các tùy chọn quyền riêng tư có thể cấu hình, thông qua các tính năng bật quyền riêng tư tùy chọn để che giấu dữ liệu thanh toán bí mật của doanh nghiệp.

Bằng cách chuyển đổi từ nhà phát hành stablecoin sang nhà điều hành stack thanh toán stablecoin, Circle đặt mục tiêu xây dựng mô hình kinh doanh của mình, để tiền được luân chuyển theo cách mà các doanh nghiệp quan tâm.

Ở giai đoạn testnet, Arc của Circle đã thiết lập quan hệ đối tác với hơn 100 công ty, bao gồm các gã khổng lồ tài chính và công nghệ truyền thống, như BlackRock, AWS, HSBC, Standard Chartered và Visa.

Mặc dù Arc vẫn đang trong giai đoạn testnet và sẽ phải đối mặt với một loạt thách thức trước khi thành công (tôi sẽ thảo luận sau), nhưng xét về thời điểm ra mắt và vấn đề nó nhắm đến để giải quyết, tôi thấy động thái này khá thú vị.

Đầu tiên, tính phí Gas (phí giao dịch mạng) bằng token gốc. Triết lý thiết kế của Arc là tính phí giao dịch thấp, có thể dự đoán và định giá bằng USD thông qua USDC. Điều này loại bỏ nhu cầu của bộ phận tài chính doanh nghiệp phải nắm giữ ETH, SOL hoặc bất kỳ loại tiền mã hóa nào khác chỉ để trả phí giao dịch.

Thứ hai, Arc cung cấp khả năng xác định cuối cùng trong亚秒级 (dưới một giây) và cửa sổ thanh toán mở cửa 24/7. Các Giám đốc Tài chính (CFO) sẽ không quan tâm đến việc cắt giảm vài mili giây như các trader, nhưng họ sẽ mất ngủ nếu khoản thanh toán không thể được thực hiện sau khi nhấp "gửi" do gặp phải cuối tuần hoặc chuỗi trung gian xuyên biên giới.

Thứ ba, và có lẽ là quan trọng nhất, là Arc cung cấp khả năng riêng tư có thể cấu hình. Bằng cách cung cấp rõ ràng các tính năng quyền riêng tư tùy chọn bật, nó thu hẹp khoảng cách giữa tính minh bạch được tích hợp sẵn của blockchain công khai và nhu cầu của doanh nghiệp trong việc đảm bảo tính bảo mật cho thông tin nhạy cảm, chẳng hạn như hóa đơn nhà cung cấp B2B, chuyển tiền và quyết toán tiền lương.

Thú vị nhất là, tất cả các tính năng này không yêu cầu các bên liên quan chấp nhận hệ tư tưởng của tiền mã hóa. Thay vào đó, Arc loại bỏ các đặc tính mã hóa mà doanh nghiệp không thích, chẳng hạn như tính minh bạch tuyệt đối, biến động phí và thanh toán không chắc chắn, cho phép blockchain được sử dụng trong lĩnh vực thương mại chính thống.

Nhưng, Circle không thể xây dựng các tính năng này trên chuỗi hiện có sao? Tại sao phải xây dựng blockchain riêng?

Circle từ trước đến nay vẫn đang "thuê sân". Trên chuỗi của người khác, Circle sẽ bị buộc phải kế thừa token phí của họ, đối mặt với tắc nghẽn khi tranh giành tài nguyên mạng với những người tham gia khác, tuân theo quy tắc quản trị của họ và chịu rủi ro gián đoạn mạng của họ. Nó cũng sẽ mất toàn bộ dòng doanh thu vì không thể tính phí bằng USDC. Circle đã phải trả chi phí phân phối để mở rộng phạm vi tiếp cận của USDC trên các nền tảng khác. Bằng cách ra mắt chuỗi của riêng mình, nó hy vọng sở hữu "sân chơi" và kiếm "tiền thuê" bằng cách cung cấp "không gian" cho tất cả những ai sử dụng cơ sở hạ tầng của mình.

Tuy nhiên, đây không phải là một trận thắng dễ dàng. Đằng sau Circle không thiếu những đối thủ cạnh tranh đang rình rập.

Về phía nhà phát hành, Tether vẫn là mối đe dọa lớn nhất, với tính thanh khoản cao nhất trên toàn cầu. Họ cũng đã ra mắt stablecoin thân thiện với quy định USAT để củng cố sự hiện diện trên thị trường Mỹ.

Ngoài các nhà phát hành, những người chơi như Stripe cũng tạo thành mối đe dọa, họ đang xây dựng thứ gì đó tương tự như những gì Circle đang làm thông qua Arc.

Vào tháng 9 năm 2025, Stripe và Paradigm đã công bố Tempo, một blockchain ưu tiên thanh toán được xây dựng xung quanh stablecoin. Kiến trúc của Tempo cho phép sử dụng bất kỳ stablecoin nào để trả phí Gas và cũng nhằm mục đích đạt được tính xác định cuối cùng trong亚秒级 (dưới một giây).

Bên cạnh các mối đe dọa bên ngoài, bản thân Arc cũng có thể gặp nhiều vấn đề.

Nó có thể gặp khó khăn trong việc khởi động thu hút tính thanh khoản và các nhà phát triển. Các doanh nghiệp sẽ không chọn Arc của Circle chỉ vì trên giấy tờ nó có vẻ tốt nhất. Nhiều doanh nghiệp đã sử dụng các nền tảng thanh toán truyền thống, chẳng hạn như PayPal, và sẽ có xu hướng sử dụng những nền tảng đã có đối tác và dịch vụ tích hợp sẵn.

"Tính riêng tư có thể cấu hình" của Arc sẽ là một chủ đề gây tranh cãi. Các tính năng tùy chọn bật mang lại cho doanh nghiệp những gì họ muốn, nhưng điều này cũng sẽ thu hút sự chú ý của các cơ quan quản lý. Arc phải chứng minh với thị trường rằng, sự riêng tư ở đây có nghĩa là "bảo mật thương mại có thể kiểm toán", chứ không chỉ là một điểm mù có thể tạo ra lỗ hổng mới.

Mặc dù có những trở ngại này, tôi lạc quan về cơ hội của Circle vì hai lý do.

Đầu tiên là kênh phân phối và danh tiếng của nó. Circle không cần phải chứng minh với thị trường rằng USDC là token đô la thực sự. Nó đã được nhúng trong vô số sàn giao dịch, ví, quy trình fintech và ngày càng đi vào các đường ống thể chế. Giờ đây Circle là một công ty đại chúng, các sáng kiến của nó trông khác biệt so với bất kỳ công ty tiền mã hóa nào khác. Danh tiếng công chúng mang lại uy tín cho các sản phẩm mà nó ra mắt. Điều này cũng buộc Circle phải xây dựng Arc theo cách có thể giải thích rõ ràng cho các nhóm tuân thủ và tài chính trong hội đồng quản trị.

Thứ hai là mạng lưới thanh toán Circle. Kết hợp với Arc, nó có thể xây dựng một mạng lưới các tổ chức và kênh thanh toán, thực hiện các giao dịch trong thế giới thực trong khuôn khổ tuân thủ.

Arc vẫn có thể thất bại. Nhưng nó có lựa chọn nào khác không? Khi kỷ nguyên cắt giảm lãi suất chính thức bắt đầu, và năm mới rất có thể sẽ có thêm nhiều đợt cắt giảm, đối với một nhà phát hành đang đối mặt với sự cạnh tranh khốc liệt, đây là lựa chọn hợp lý duy nhất.

The 'Chip' Challenge and Breakthroughs in China's Optical Industry Chain

China's Photonics Industry: Bottlenecks and Breakthroughs In the global AI race, computing chips dominate the narrative, but the underlying bottleneck increasingly defining the scale of AI clusters is light—or more specifically, optical connectivity. Optical modules, which translate electrical signals to light and vice versa, are crucial for connecting thousands of GPUs in AI data centers, preventing data congestion and ensuring efficient model training. High-speed modules (800G, 1.6T) are now standard, with performance hinging on advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chips. This is where a critical dependency lies. Two US giants—Marvell and Broadcom—collectively dominate over 90% of the high-end DSP chip market. Chinese optical module leaders like Zhongji Innolight and Eoptolink rely on these chips to manufacture modules for overseas AI customers, primarily in North America. While this creates a supply chain vulnerability, complete decoupling is difficult. Marvell derives over half its revenue from Greater China, and the US firms depend on Chinese partners for chip packaging and optical components. The risk from laser chips (e.g., from Lumentum), another key component, is considered more manageable due to multiple global suppliers and faster progress in domestic alternatives from companies like YOFC and Accelink. To mitigate risks, China's industry is pursuing a multi-pronged strategy: diversifying supply chains and locking in long-term orders; fostering a domestic market ecosystem to adopt homegrown DSPs from firms like Huawei HiSilicon and CETC; accelerating R&D in high-speed DSPs and advanced packaging; and investing in next-gen technologies like silicon photonics and Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) to reduce reliance on discrete DSPs. The ultimate solution lies not in short-term博弈 but in persistent advancement of domestic high-end chip R&D and manufacturing. While challenges remain in performance, certification, and ecosystem building, China's vast domestic market and manufacturing base provide a crucial buffer, buying time for the industry to achieve greater technological independence.

Behind SpaceX's $2 Trillion Market Cap: Why Does Musk Always Have the Next Move Planned?

On June 12th, SpaceX debuted on the Nasdaq, reaching a valuation that briefly touched $2 trillion. This marked the culmination of a 24-year journey from its founding in 2002, driven by Elon Musk's frustration at the high cost of buying rockets. The company's path was defined by early failures, with its first three Falcon 1 launches ending in explosions before a successful 2008 flight opened the era of commercial spaceflight. Key to its model was a fixed-price NASA contract, incentivizing cost reduction. SpaceX mastered rocket reusability, first achieving a Falcon 9 landing in 2015, which drastically cut launch costs. This enabled its profitable Starlink satellite internet constellation, envisioned years before reusability was proven, to create an internal market for frequent launches. Similarly, the next-generation Starship rocket was in development long before its first flight, with its business case evolving from Mars colonization to supporting the emerging concept of in-orbit data centers for AI—a story now central to its valuation. The company's recent IPO, a reversal of its long-standing "no IPO" stance, is funding this ambitious "space-based compute" vision. While major tech players like Google, Blue Origin, and others are investing heavily, significant technical and cost hurdles remain. Ultimately, SpaceX's history is one of creating its own demand: first with Starlink and now with space-based AI compute, betting that its next rocket will enable its next giant market.

USDe Circumvents GENIUS Act Yield Ban: How Synthetic Dollars Became Crypto's Most Successful Gray Area?

In drafting the GENIUS Act, Congress prohibited licensed payment stablecoin issuers from paying interest or yield to holders—a rule that forced changes for USDC. However, Ethena's USDe, a rapidly growing "yield dollar," operates outside this regulation. USDe is a delta-neutral synthetic dollar backed by crypto collateral and hedged perpetual futures positions, generating yield from funding rates rather than traditional reserves. Because it doesn't fit the legal definition of a payment stablecoin, the GENIUS Act's restrictions do not apply. USDe's supply peaked above $14 billion in 2025, making it a top-three dollar-denominated crypto asset. Its model carries distinct risks, notably dependence on sustained positive funding rates and vulnerability during market deleveraging events, as seen in a brief depeg in October 2025. Regulatory approaches differ: Germany's BaFin banned USDe sales, viewing it as an unregistered security, while U.S. institutional capital, like Janus Henderson, has embraced it for treasury management. The GENIUS Act defined and regulated payment stablecoins but left synthetic dollars like USDe in a gray area. The unresolved question is whether future regulations will address this category or if yield will continue migrating to undefined spaces.

When Crypto Meets the World Cup: CoinW and Modrić's Art of "Navigating Cycles"

When Encryption Meets the World Cup: CoinW and Modrić's "Transcending Cycles" Philosophy In the context of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and its massive global audience, the crypto exchange CoinW announced football legend Luka Modrić as its global brand ambassador. This move is framed not merely as a marketing tactic, but as a strategic experiment in user profile migration. It targets mature, financially stable football fans—particularly in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America—who traditionally have low crypto awareness but value trusted, time-tested authority figures like Modrić. The article draws parallels between Modrić's enduring, disciplined career—marked by consistency and success at the highest level over two decades—and CoinW's own development path. Founded in 2017 during a volatile industry period, CoinW focused on building robust infrastructure and risk management. It weathered the 2022 industry crisis without major security incidents, subsequently earning recognition like "Europe's Most Trusted Exchange" and growing to over 20 million registered users. This "long-termism" is translated into user-centric products. CoinW Academy lowers the initial knowledge barrier. Its integrated ecosystem (CoinW, GemW, DeriW, PropW) and the recent launch of a TradFi section—offering perpetual contracts on traditional assets like stocks, gold, and oil—aim to create a unified platform for diverse assets. For the World Cup, CoinW launched the "We Are The Game" campaign, collaborating with Alchemy Pay to offer zero-fee deposits and local payment options, aiming to transform spectators into participants and lower entry barriers. Ultimately, CoinW's sports partnerships and product strategy are presented as a concerted effort to build trust and accessibility for the "silent majority" still outside crypto—shifting the industry narrative toward inclusivity and long-term value.

A Panoramic View of the Solana Privacy Ecosystem: The Complete Privacy Stack from Computation to AI

**Solana Privacy Ecosystem: A Comprehensive Overview from Computation to AI** Solana's privacy ecosystem, while nascent, is rapidly evolving to address key challenges across multiple layers. Key figures like Helius CEO Mert acknowledge that Solana has lagged in privacy but highlight its unique potential for scalable, composable privacy protocols, potentially leveraging technologies like ZK compression without persistent rollups. The foundational layer is **Private Compute**, addressed by providers like Arcium and Magic Block. Arcium utilizes Multi-Party Computation (MPC) networks to process encrypted data off-chain with final settlement on Solana, supporting use cases like confidential payments (via its C-SPL token standard) and encrypted data analysis. Magic Block employs Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to create private, ephemeral rollups, offering confidentiality, scalability, and composability. Both enable private order books, dark pools, and DeFi rails. Building on this infrastructure are applications for **Private Transfers and Balances**. Umbra, built on Arcium, offers encrypted token accounts with amount, balance, and sender-receiver linkage privacy, plus compliance features. Privacy Cash uses Tornado-style shielded pools for SOL, while Hush provides private staking and trading with integrated swaps via Jupiter. To eliminate **On-Chain Trails** from everyday activities like trading, protocols like encifherio and VanishTrade are emerging. encifherio privately routes swaps through Jupiter by encrypting transaction details within TEEs. VanishTrade routes trades through shielded liquidity pools. Darklake offers a ZK-native "blind slippage" AMM and private perpetuals to hide trading intent and prevent front-running. More advanced applications include **Private Prediction Markets**. Platforms like Melee Markets use Arcium's MPC to encrypt order books, allowing participants to place hidden bets without revealing their market position until settlement. Finally, the ecosystem is expanding into **Private AI**. Loyal leverages both Magic Block and Arcium to create a decentralized protocol where user-AI interactions, queries, and preferences are encrypted on-chain, giving users ownership and control over their data while enabling private transactions and yield generation. In summary, Solana's privacy stack is developing from core compute and transfer privacy towards sophisticated applications in DeFi, prediction markets, and AI, aiming for a future where Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs combine for a complete privacy solution.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity.

Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges.

Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products.
