Abstract

Giá vàng và bạc đã trải qua một đợt sụt giảm lịch sử, với vàng giảm tới 13% và bạc lao dốc hơn 35% trong ngày, mức giảm mạnh nhất trong nhiều thập kỷ. Nguyên nhân chính được cho là do thông tin cựu quan chức Fed Kevin Warsh, người có quan điểm diều hâu, được đề cử làm Chủ tịch Fed. Điều này làm dấy lên kỳ vọng về chính sách tiền tệ thắt chặt hơn, đẩy đồng USD tăng mạnh và giảm sức hấp dẫn của các kim loại quý. Sự sụt giảm còn được thúc đẩy bởi các yếu tố kỹ thuật, như các vị thế mua đòn bẩy quá mức và hiện tượng "gamma squeeze" khi giá giảm kích hoạt bán ép hàng loạt. Dù đây là đợt điều chỉnh mạnh, vàng và bạc vẫn ghi nhận mức tăng trưởng đáng kể trong tháng 1. Các cổ phiếu ngành khai thác và quỹ ETF liên quan cũng chịu ảnh hưởng nặng nề.

Vào thứ Năm, vàng và bạc cùng lập kỷ lục mới về giá trong ngày, nhưng sau đó đã sụp đổ mạnh. Vàng chuyển sang giảm vào sáng sớm thứ Sáu tại thị trường châu Á sau khi có tin Trump sẽ đề cử Warsh làm Chủ tịch Fed, và trong phiên giao dịch châu Âu, giá đã giảm xuống dưới mốc 5000 USD/ounce. Đến phiên chiều tại Mỹ, mức giảm được mở rộng, vàng spot trong ngày từng giảm gần 13%, mức giảm trong ngày lớn nhất trong hơn 40 năm kể từ đầu những năm 1980, vượt qua mức giảm trong cuộc khủng hoảng tài chính năm 2008.

Bạc, vốn đã lần đầu tiên vượt qua mốc 120 USD vào thứ Năm, đã giảm xuống dưới 100 USD trong phiên châu Âu thứ Sáu và thậm chí giảm xuống dưới 80 USD trong phiên Mỹ. Bạc spot tại một thời điểm đã lao dốc hơn 35%, mức giảm lớn nhất từ trước đến nay. Cuộc "tàn sát" này đã lan sang toàn bộ thị trường kim loại, đồng LME cũng đã lập kỷ lục cao nhất vào thứ Năm và sau đó đã giảm gần 6%.

Thị trường cho rằng đợt sụp đổ này là do sự thay đổi mạnh mẽ trong kỳ vọng của nhà đầu tư về chính sách của Fed.

Warsh vốn nổi tiếng với lập trường diều hâu, mặc dù gần đây công khai ủng hộ giảm lãi suất để chiều theo Trump, thị trường vẫn cho rằng ông khó có thể giảm lãi suất một cách mạnh mẽ.

Nhà phân tích Thu Lan Nguyen của Ngân hàng Commerzbank cho biết: "Thị trường cho rằng Warsh có tư tưởng diều hâu hơn so với các ứng cử viên khác như Hassett." Kỳ vọng này đã thúc đẩy đồng USD phục hồi, khiến hàng hóa định giá bằng USD trở nên kém hấp dẫn hơn đối với người mua toàn cầu.

Việc đề cử Warsh cũng làm giảm bớt lo ngại của thị trường về việc Fed mất đi tính độc lập.

Trước đó, nhà đầu tư đổ xô vào kim loại quý để trú ẩn, một phần là do lo ngại về sự mất giá tiền tệ và tính độc lập của Fed.

Nhà chiến lược ngoại hối Francesco Pesole của ING cho biết, lựa chọn Warsh "là tin tốt cho USD, có thể loại bỏ một số lo ngại về các ứng cử viên có tư tưởng bồ câu hơn".

Đợt sụp đổ này cũng cho thấy sự cực kỳ mong manh của thị trường kim loại quý.

Sau đà tăng liên tục gần đây của giá vàng và bạc, các vị thế mua đông đúc, khối lượng mua quyền chọn mua kỷ lục và mức đòn bẩy cực cao đã đặt thị trường vào trạng thái có thể kích hoạt "nén gamma" bất cứ lúc nào.

Nhà chiến lược nghiên cứu cấp cao Michael Brown của Pepperstone cho biết: "Thị trường đã rất bong bóng, chỉ cần một chút tác nhân kích hoạt là có thể gây ra diễn biến như vậy."

Vàng và Bạc Hứng Chịu Đợt Sụp Đổ Lịch Sử

Vào phiên chiều thứ Sáu tại Mỹ, thị trường kim loại quý đã trải qua một đợt lao dốc đầy kịch tính. Hợp đồng kỳ hạn bạc chính ở New York, sau khi lập mức cao kỷ lục 121.785 USD vào thứ Năm, đã giảm xuống dưới 80 USD, thậm chí có lúc chạm 74 USD, mức giảm trong ngày là hơn 35%. Bạc spot giảm xuống dưới 74.60 USD, mức giảm trong ngày lên tới 35.5%, mức giảm trong ngày lớn nhất từ trước đến nay.

Vàng cũng bị ảnh hưởng nặng nề. Hợp đồng vàng kỳ hạn New York, vốn đã tăng lên mức cao kỷ lục 5586.2 USD vào thứ Năm, đã giảm xuống 4714.5 USD vào phiên chiều thứ Sáu, giảm gần 12% trong ngày. Vàng spot vào phiên chiều Mỹ tiến sát 4670 USD, giảm hơn 12.7% trong ngày.

Đến khi đóng cửa phiên kỳ hạn vàng vào chiều thứ Sáu, hợp đồng Vàng kỳ hạn COMEX tháng 2 giảm 11.37%, chốt ở 4713.9 USD/ounce, mức giảm trong ngày lớn nhất kể từ ngày 22 tháng 1 năm 1980. Hợp đồng Bạc kỳ hạn COMEX tháng 2 giảm 31.35%, chốt ở 78.29 USD/ounce, mức giảm đóng cửa trong ngày lớn nhất kể từ ngày 27 tháng 3 năm 1980.

Kim loại công nghiệp cũng không tránh khỏi. Đồng LME, vốn đã tăng vượt 1.452万美元 vào thứ Năm để lập kỷ lục mới với mức tăng 11%, đã giảm xuống dưới 1.285万美元 vào thứ Sáu, giảm gần 5.7% trong ngày, và đóng cửa giảm khoảng 3.4% ở mức 13,158 USD/tấn. Đến khi đóng cửa, thiếc LME giảm khoảng 5.7%, nhôm LME và niken LME giảm hơn 2%.

Đề Cử Chủ Tịch Fed Thiên Hướng Diều Hâu

Ngòi nổ cho đợt bán tháo là tin tức về việc Warsh được đề cử.

Vào sáng sớm thứ Sáu tại thị trường châu Á, các báo cáo cho rằng Trump sẽ đề cử Warsh làm Chủ tịch Fed đã khiến vàng, vốn liên tục lập kỷ lục mới trong chín phiên giao dịch liên tiếp, lập tức chuyển sang giảm.

Trước giờ mở cửa thị trường Mỹ thứ Sáu, Trump đã chính thức thông báo đề cử trên nền tảng truyền thông xã hội của mình, tự nhận đã quen biết Warsh từ lâu, và không nghi ngờ gì rằng ông ấy sẽ là một Chủ tịch Fed vĩ đại, thậm chí có thể là một trong những người xuất sắc nhất.

Warsh trước đây nổi tiếng với lập trường diều hâu, năm ngoái đã thay đổi quan điểm, hưởng ứng lời kêu gọi giảm lãi suất mạnh của Trump, điều này được coi là chìa khóa để ông được đề cử.

Các nhà đầu tư và chiến lược gia Phố Wall cho biết, việc Trump chọn Warsh lãnh đạo Fed là một lựa chọn tương đối diều hâu, ông có thể sẽ chống lại việc mở rộng bảng cân đối kế toán, điều này sẽ hỗ trợ đồng USD và làm cho đường cong lợi suất trái phiếu kho bạc Mỹ dốc hơn.

Nhà phân tích Tom Price của Panmure Liberum cho biết:

“Thị trường cho rằng Kevin Warsh là người hợp lý, ông ấy sẽ không tích cực thúc đẩy giảm lãi suất. Những nhà đầu tư nhỏ lẻ với các mục tiêu khác nhau - chẳng hạn như bảo vệ vốn - đang chốt lời.”

Việc đề cử Warsh đã thúc đẩy đồng USD phục hồi mạnh mẽ, thứ Sáu ghi nhận phiên tăng tốt nhất trong nửa năm kể từ tháng 7 năm ngoái. Chỉ số USD ICE theo dõi đồng USD so với một rổ tiền tệ đã vượt qua 97.10 vào phiên chiều thứ Sáu tại Mỹ, tăng gần 0.9% trong ngày. Đồng USD mạnh hơn làm cho hàng hóa định giá bằng USD kém hấp dẫn hơn đối với nhiều người mua toàn cầu và giáng một đòn vào lý thuyết cho rằng kim loại quý có thể thay thế USD làm tiền tệ dự trữ toàn cầu.

Thị Trường Đông Đúc Gây Ra "Dẫm Đạp"

Mặc dù đề cử Warsh là ngòi nổ cho đợt bán tháo, nhưng các nhà phân tích cho rằng các yếu tố kỹ thuật đã khuếch đại mức giảm.

Giới truyền thông cho rằng, giá cả và biến động tăng vọt đã gây áp lực lên các mô hình rủi ro và bảng cân đối kế toán của các nhà giao dịch. Báo cáo nghiên cứu của Goldman Sachs chỉ ra rằng làn sóng mua quyền chọn mua kỷ lục "đã củng cố một cách máy móc động lực giá đi lên", vì người bán quyền chọn phải mua thêm hợp đồng tương lai để phòng ngừa rủi ro cho danh mục của họ.

Việc giảm giá vàng có thể được đẩy nhanh bởi cái gọi là "nén gamma". Điều này đề cập đến việc các nhà giao dịch quyền chọn cần mua thêm hợp đồng tương lai khi giá tăng để duy trì cân bằng danh mục đầu tư, và cần bán ra khi giá giảm.

Đối với quỹ ETF Vàng SPDR, một lượng lớn vị thế đáo hạn vào thứ Sáu tập trung ở mức 465 USD và 455 USD, trong khi một lượng lớn vị thế quyền chọn trên Comex vào tháng 3 và tháng 4 tập trung ở mức 5300 USD, 5200 USD và 5100 USD.

Nhà chiến lược cổ phiếu Matt Maley của Miller Tabak cho biết: "Thật điên rồ. Phần lớn trong số này có thể là 'bán ép'. Bạc gần đây là tài sản nóng nhất đối với các nhà giao dịch trong ngày và các nhà giao dịch ngắn hạn khác, do đó bạc đã tích lũy một số đòn bẩy. Với mức giảm mạnh hôm nay, các yêu cầu ký quỹ bổ sung đã được đưa ra."

Michael Brown của Pepperstone chỉ ra, "tình hình trên thị trường kim loại đã rất bong bóng từ một thời gian, và các dấu hiệu xuất hiện vào đầu tuần này cho thấy tình hình đang trở nên hoàn toàn mất kiểm soát". Ông cho biết, các vị thế trên thị trường vàng và bạc "rõ ràng là cực kỳ đông ở phe mua, và biến động đã tăng lên đến mức, thú thật là, thật vô lý". Trong một thị trường có khối lượng giao dịch cao như vậy và "vị thế mua sử dụng đòn bẩy" căng thẳng như vậy, "không cần nhiều để kích hoạt" diễn biến như thứ Sáu.

Brown cho biết: "Nói một cách đơn giản, mọi người đồng loạt lao về phía lối ra, buộc giá giảm xuống, điều này đến lượt nó lại kích hoạt thêm việc bán ép", điều này nhắc nhở mọi người rằng "động lực là hai chiều".

Nhà chiến lược Christopher Wong của Overseas-Chinese Banking Corp. cho biết, diễn biến của vàng "xác thực cảnh báo tăng nhanh thì cũng giảm nhanh". Mặc dù báo cáo đề cử Warsh là tác nhân kích hoạt, nhưng ông cho biết đợt điều chỉnh đáng lẽ phải xảy ra sớm hơn, "nó giống như một trong những cái cớ mà thị trường luôn chờ đợi, để đóng các vị thế có diễn biến parabol".

Chỉ Báo Kỹ Thuật Đã Cảnh Báo Từ Trước

Trước khi sụp đổ, nhiều chỉ báo kỹ thuật đã phát ra tín hiệu cảnh báo. Chỉ số Sức mạnh Tương đối (RSI) trong vài tuần gần đây cho thấy, vàng và bạc có thể đã được mua quá mức và đối mặt với điều chỉnh. RSI của vàng gần đây chạm 90, mức cao nhất của kim loại quý này trong vài thập kỷ.

Giám đốc giao dịch Kim loại Quý Heraeus, Dominik Sperzel, cho biết biến động cực kỳ khắc nghiệt, hai mức kháng cự tâm lý 5000 USD và 100 USD đã bị phá vỡ nhiều lần vào thứ Sáu, "tuy nhiên chúng ta cần chuẩn bị tinh thần cho việc tàu lượn tiếp tục".

Mặc dù lao dốc mạnh vào thứ Sáu, vàng và bạc trong tháng 1 vẫn ghi nhận mức tăng đáng kể. Tính theo giá đóng cửa hợp đồng gần nhất, vàng kỳ hạn New York trong tháng 1 tăng khoảng 9%, bạc kỳ hạn tăng hơn 10%.

Hợp đồng Vàng kỳ hạn COMEX tháng 2 trong tháng 1 tích lũy tăng 8.98%, mức tăng hàng tháng lớn nhất trong bốn tháng, tăng liên tiếp sáu tháng, chuỗi tăng dài nhất kể từ tháng 10 năm 2024. Hợp đồng Bạc kỳ hạn COMEX tháng 2 trong tháng 1 tích lũy tăng 11.63%, tăng liên tiếp chín tháng, lập kỷ lục chuỗi tăng tháng dài nhất, trong chín tháng tích lũy tăng 140.66%, mức tăng trong chín tháng lớn nhất kể từ tháng 4 năm 2011.

Các nhà phân tích của Ngân hàng Commerzbank viết trong báo cáo thứ Sáu, mức độ điều chỉnh "cho thấy những người tham gia thị trường chỉ đang chờ đợi một cơ hội để chốt lời sau khi giá tăng nhanh". Trưởng bộ phận nghiên cứu hàng hóa của ngân hàng, Thu Lan Nguyen, chỉ ra,

Mặc dù "thị trường cho rằng Warsh có tư tưởng diều hâu hơn so với các ứng cử viên khác như Hassett", "chúng tôi vẫn cho rằng, khả năng cao là Fed sẽ phần nào khuất phục trước áp lực và sẽ giảm lãi suất nhiều hơn so với kỳ vọng hiện tại của thị trường"

Cổ Phiếu Ngành Khai Thác Cũng Lao Dốc Mạnh

Việc kim loại quý sụp đổ kéo theo cổ phiếu của các công ty khai thác chính. Trong phiên thứ Sáu, cổ phiếu của các gã khổng lồ khai thác vàng niêm yết tại Mỹ Newmont (NEM), Barrick Mining (B) và Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM) đều giảm hơn 10%, Coeur Mining (CDE) từng giảm gần 19%.

ETF bạc bị ảnh hưởng nặng nề hơn. Trong phiên, ProShares Ultra Silver (AGQ) từng giảm hơn 60%, iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV) từng giảm hơn 30%, cả hai quỹ đều ghi nhận màn trình diễn tồi tệ nhất trong ngày trong lịch sử. ETF vàng cũng chịu áp lực.

Mặc dù cổ phiếu ngành khai thác lao dốc thảm hại vào thứ Sáu, một số nhà phân tích cho rằng điều chỉnh là có lợi cho sức khỏe thị trường. Phó chủ tịch phát triển sản phẩm của Amplify ETFs, Nate Miller, cho biết bạc được hưởng lợi từ nhu cầu trú ẩn và lưu trữ giá trị, nhu cầu công nghiệp và tình trạng thiếu hụt nguồn cung toàn cầu, việc củng cố một chút sau mức tăng mạnh mẽ như vậy "là lành mạnh, phù hợp với biểu hiện điển hình của thị trường hàng hóa sau khi định giá tăng nhanh".

Phó chủ tịch kiêm chiến lược gia kim loại cấp cao Peter Grant của Zaner Metals cho biết, mặc dù đợt phục hồi thực sự đã đi quá nhanh và quá xa, nhưng bây giờ mua kim loại vẫn chưa muộn. Ông gọi việc giảm xuống dưới 100 USD là "cơ hội", đặc biệt là ở vùng trung bình động 20 ngày khoảng 93 USD. Tuy nhiên, "bạn phải có khả năng chịu đựng sự biến động, điều này có thể sẽ tiếp tục duy trì ở mức cao".

Nhà chiến lược vĩ mô Simon White của Bloomberg chỉ ra:

"Tỷ lệ giá Bạc/Vàng tăng lên gần bằng mức vào cuối những năm 1970, và diễn biến kịch tính ngày hôm nay cho thấy đây có thể là một điểm kháng cự. Tuy nhiên, xét riêng, vàng và bạc cho đến nay chưa hoàn toàn khớp với đà tăng năm 1979. Hiện còn quá sớm để kết liễu liệu bạc so với vàng có đánh dấu sự kết thúc của đợt tăng giá lịch sử của kim loại quý hay không. Giá cả giờ đây đang trở thành động lực chính, các yếu tố cơ bản tạm thời sẽ lui về vị trí thứ yếu."

Kraken Plans CFTC-Regulated Perpetual Futures For US Professional Traders

Kraken plans to launch CFTC-regulated perpetual futures for eligible US professional traders through its acquired derivatives exchange, Bitnomial. These contracts, featuring continuous pricing, no expiry, and regular funding, aim to provide a regulated domestic route to a product that is central to global crypto trading but has been largely inaccessible on US platforms. The offering is expected to be integrated into Kraken Pro, allowing traders to manage various exposures in one interface. Key factors for success will include eligibility criteria, contract design, and the development of sufficient liquidity. This move could pave the way for more regulated perpetual products in the US market.

Warsh's Debut: Will the FED Chair Who Knows Crypto Best Bring Surprises or Shocks to the Market?

Kevin Warsh, the new Federal Reserve Chairman, prepares for his inaugural press conference amidst a challenging macroeconomic landscape: resurgent inflation, a bond market sell-off, and political pressure from President Trump for rate cuts. Uniquely, Warsh holds indirect investments in over 20 crypto and Web3 entities (e.g., Solana, dYdX), making him the first Fed Chair with disclosed crypto exposure. His stance may combine a hawkish, inflation-focused monetary policy with a crypto-friendly regulatory philosophy that shifts from Powell’s “same risk, same rule” approach toward a framework acknowledging blockchain’s productivity value. Warsh’s leadership could impact crypto markets across three dimensions: a paradigm shift in regulation (potentially accelerating pro-innovation legislation and stable币 rules), a re-pricing of risk premiums based on clearer communication and his view of AI as a structural disinflationary force, and a long-term reallocation of global institutional capital driven by increased legitimacy. Two potential scenarios for the press conference are outlined. A “positive surprise” would involve a dovish-leaning tone on rates coupled with signals of regulatory openness, potentially boosting crypto asset valuations. Conversely, a “negative shock” would see a more hawkish-than-expected stance on inflation and rates, triggering a broad risk-asset selloff that crypto markets would not escape. While ethics rules required Warsh to divest his crypto holdings upon confirmation, his deep understanding of the technology may fundamentally lower policy uncertainty and build a more receptive long-term foundation for digital assets’ integration into the mainstream financial system.

AGI is Not the End, DeepMind's New Paper: Moving Towards ASI, the Real AI Progress Has Just Begun

In a new report, Google DeepMind researchers argue that achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is not the end goal, but rather a step toward Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). They outline four potential pathways for this transition: 1) continued scaling of compute, models, and data; 2) algorithmic evolution and potential paradigm shifts; 3) recursive self-improvement; and 4) multi-agent coordination and collective intelligence. The report also identifies six key bottlenecks that could hinder progress: data limitations (the "data wall"), economic and resource pressures, limitations of current neural network paradigms, increasing research difficulty, "abstraction barriers" in forming new concepts, and regulatory and societal pushback. Looking ahead, the authors emphasize the need for new evaluation methods once AI surpasses human benchmarks. They call for a large-scale, interdisciplinary effort to prepare for a future where AI-driven advancements could trigger transformative changes across multiple fields. The path and speed of progress remain uncertain, constrained by physical laws, computational complexity, and real-world feedback loops.

Kraken Launches Pre-IPO Perps For OpenAI And Anthropic With Up To 5x Leverage

Kraken has launched pre-IPO perpetual futures contracts for private AI giants OpenAI and Anthropic, offering eligible traders up to 5x leverage. These derivatives provide synthetic exposure to the companies' valuations ahead of any public listing, tapping into high investor demand for AI themes. However, the product carries unique risks compared to standard crypto perpetuals, as private company valuations lack transparent, continuous pricing and depend on funding rounds, secondary transactions, and IPO timelines. This move signals crypto exchanges' expansion into alternative speculative markets beyond digital assets, though it raises questions about risk management, liquidity, and investor understanding, especially when using leverage.

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. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation.

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.
