Abstract

Ringkasan: Dari Jalan Liar ke Meja Resmi: Mengapa Kepatuhan Adalah Jalan yang Harus Dilalui Industri crypto mengalami pergeseran besar menuju kepatuhan regulasi. Binance, yang sebelumnya tumbuh melalui arbitrase regulasi, kini secara resmi mematuhi kerangka ADGM di Uni Emirat Arab pada 2025. Coinbase membentuk standar kepatuhan AS di bawah perubahan kebijakan yang ramah crypto. Namun, Hyperliquid, yang beroperasi dari Singapura, memanfaatkan celah dengan menawarkan derivatif kepada pengguna global, meski hanya menguasai ~15% pangsa pasar Binance. Kepatuhan kini menjadi kerangka nyata yang memisahkan perdagangan, kliring, dan penyimpanan, mengakhiri era liar. AS memiliki keunggulan biaya regulasi rendah melalui kekuatan pasar dan keuangannya, memaksa entitas seperti Binance dan Hyperliquid untuk akhirnya mematuhi aturan. Di bidang RWA (Real World Assets), panduan regulasi baru dari Tiongkok mengizinkan penerbitan token sekuritas dari dalam negeri ke luar negeri setelah persetujuan regulator, selaras dengan perkembangan AS. Ini menandakan likuiditas global yang dapat membentuk ulang lanskap keuangan. Meskipun model "ekonomi bawah tanah" seperti USDT dan Hyperliquid masih ada, skalabilitas jangka panjang memerlukan kepatuhan. Masa depan mungkin terletak pada aset tokenized, dengan crypto dan RWA akhirnya bertemu dalam kerangka yang diatur.

Judul asli: Kepatuhan adalah Upacara Kedewasaan untuk Ekonomi Bawah Tanah

Binance tahun 2017 dengan cepat menjadi nomor satu di dunia melalui arbitrase regulasi, tetapi Hyperliquid yang lebih bebas pada tahun 2025 hanya dapat menguasai 15% pangsa pasar Binance, dan apakah RWA sebagai sumber aset dasar DeFi memiliki ruang untuk arbitrase regulasi dan masa depan yang terukur?

Kepatuhan menjadi tema utama tahun 2026, pertukaran lepas pantai Binance secara resmi naik ke daratan di ADGM Uni Emirat Arab, Coinbase berhasil meraih dua kemenangan dengan RUU Jenius dan RUU Kejelasan, bahkan negara besar di Timur juga "prinsipil" mencoba regulasi RWA.

Kita berada di titik balik yang jelas, blockchain tidak akan menggantikan internet, Web3 hanyalah penipuan yang menganggap diri sendiri, efek listing koin berakhir dengan pembelian Bitcoin oleh Binance, tetapi Hyperliquid fokus pada logam mulia dan pasar prediksi, sementara RWA yang diwakili oleh koin (stablecoin), saham (saham AS), obligasi (obligasi AS, obligasi sekunder), dan dana (lindung nilai, aktif) yang di-chain sedang tren.

Dalam konteks ini, kepatuhan melampaui peran seremonial sederhana "memegang lisensi negara kecil, mengarbitrase keuntungan negara besar", berevolusi menjadi kerangka nyata pemisahan perdagangan, kliring, dan penyimpanan. Ketika industri melampaui batas skala, keuntungan regulasi akan menguntungkan.

Di tempat yang sunyi, kepatuhan tidak hanya berarti berakhirnya era liar sebelumnya, guntur bergemuruh, selalu ada ruang arbitrase untuk mengembangkan pertukaran skala.

Mari mulai dari pertukaran, melihat pertimbangan ekonomi di luar kepatuhan.

Peradaban Wall Street, Orang Liar yang Gila

Penakluk liar, menurut hukum sejarah abadi, sendiri ditaklukkan oleh peradaban yang lebih tinggi dari rakyat yang mereka taklukkan.

Tahun 2022, FTX runtuh dengan cara yang dramatis, Wall Street juga pernah memiliki ide untuk menduduki jalur pertukaran, Castle Securities, Fidelity, dan Charles Schwab bekerja sama, meluncurkan EDX Markets di Singapura, beroperasi di bawah kerangka kepatuhan MAS Singapura sesuai dengan prinsip pemisahan perdagangan dan penyimpanan.

Dengan SEC di bawah pimpinan Gary Gensler mengejar Binance tanpa henti, Coinbase dan Kraken hanya bisa berkontraksi di pasar spot AS, tidak dapat memasuki pasar tinggi seperti kontrak berjangka, opsi, dll. Saat itu, pasar juga memberikan harapan besar pada EDX Markets.

Jika tidak ada halangan, kita seharusnya menyaksikan kejatuhan Binance, seperti BitMEX setelah 12 Maret 2020, tetapi sejarah tidak pernah berulang, Hyperliquid adalah pemenang sebenarnya, Binance yang memburuk dan Coinbase yang tetap berkontraksi di pasar AS, ternyata bukan protagonis adegan berikutnya.

Untuk mengetahui pengalaman yang berhasil, kita harus memahami pelajaran dari yang gagal.

Binance setelah didirikan pada tahun 2017, setidaknya melakukan dua hal dengan benar:

Sambil aktif merangkul globalisasi, terus menerima pengguna dari Tiongkok Daratan, volume perdagangan dan skala pengguna saling berhubungan seperti jungkat-jungkit;
Pada tahun 2019 meluncurkan IEO (Penawaran Pertukaran Perdana), menciptakan efek kekayaan nyata sebelum DeFi Summer.

Setelah larangan 4 September, menyediakan layanan perdagangan untuk pengguna Tiongkok Daratan berada di "area abu-abu", ketentuan ketiga langsung ditujukan untuk platform perdagangan, mengharuskannya untuk tidak menyediakan layanan penawaran, pencocokan, dan kliring. Jika mengacu pada tanggapan He Yi terhadap Cathie Wood, maka Binance akan merespons dengan "tidak menyediakan layanan untuk pengguna Tiongkok Daratan".

Dari 2017 hingga 2019, Binance berdiri sebagai pertukaran lepas pantai global nomor satu, 2020-2022, Binance mengisi pasar kontrak berjangka setelah BitMEX, 2022-2024, Binance mendominasi pasar altcoin global, efek listing setara dengan efek listing di Binance.

Memasuki tahun 2025, Binance secara resmi masuk ke kerangka kepatuhan ADGM Abu Dhabi Uni Emirat Arab, membagi dirinya menjadi tiga entitas: perdagangan, kliring, dan over-the-counter, tetapi ini masih mempertahankan arbitrase khas Binance.

Terutama karena kepatuhan tidak menghentikan tim listing Binance untuk memasang koin Meme, kedua ADGM dan seluruh sistem keuangan Uni Emirat Arab, tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk mengawasi raksasa seperti Binance, kita lihat ketidakberdayaan Bahama terhadap FTX global.

Keterangan gambar: "Ikut ujian CPNS" baru bisa naik ke daratan, Sumber gambar: @binance @okx

Coinbase paling patuh setelah keruntuhan FTX, tetapi kepatuhan ini berasal dari transformasi berkelanjutan Trump terhadap SEC, CFTC, OCC setelah naik takhta, meminta mereka untuk mengambil langkah-langkah pengawasan yang lebih ramah kripto.

Secara umum, SEC bertanggung jawab meninjau apakah suatu token memenuhi definisi sekuritas, CFTC mengawasi perdagangan derivatif, OCC mengawasi izin bank untuk menyelenggarakan bisnis penyimpanan, AS tidak memiliki "lisensi pertukaran kripto" seperti ADGM, hanya ruang lingkup pengawasan menurut jenis bisnis.

Keterangan gambar: Kemajuan regulasi, Sumber gambar: @zuoyeweb3

Pembangunan kerangka pengawasan ini masih berlangsung, tetapi dapat dipastikan Coinbase akan membentuk kerangka kepatuhan AS, mencakup pencatatan (spot, kontrak), perdagangan (spot, kontrak), penyimpanan (ritel, institusi), kliring/penyelesaian (fiat, kripto), audit (teknis, aset)/asuransi (fiat, kripto) di semua aspek.

Lisensi Binance di bawah ADGM, dan lisensi Coinbase di AS adalah dua konsep yang sangat berbeda, lisensi yang terakhir akan benar-benar masuk ke dalam ruang lingkup manajemen departemen pengawas.

Regulasi bertujuan untuk memperjelas aturan, bukan melindungi kepentingan investor retail, misalnya, klien institusi dalam bisnis penyimpanan Coinance menikmati perlindungan pemisahan kebangkrutan, entitas yang sesuai adalah Coinbase Custody Trust Company.

Tetapi dana yang disetor oleh investor retail biasa ke Coinbase, entitas yang sesuai adalah Coinbase Inc., jika dalam mata uang fiat, masih mungkin dilindungi oleh asuransi deposito FDIC bank yang sesuai, tetapi aset kripto sangat mungkin mengalami nasib seperti FTX.

Misalnya, pembeli token FTT FTX diakui sebagai pemilik saham, tidak dilindungi secara ketat dalam klaim, Coinbase serupa, satu-satunya kabar baik adalah Coinbase tidak mengalami krisis penarikan dana.

Hyperliquid Masuk ke Bidang RWA "Tanpa Izin"

Kemajuan manusia baru tidak akan lagi seperti monster dewa kafir yang mengerikan, yang hanya bisa minum anggur manis dengan cangkir tengkorak korban yang dibunuh.

Arbitrase regulasi masih ada, di bidang perdagangan aset kripto, Hyperliquid, sesama Amerika EDX, juga memulai di Singapura, dan menggerogoti pasar global Binance dan pasar AS Coinbase.

Dapat disebut "arbitrase tingkat dua", Binance mengarbitrase regulasi global, Hyperliquid mengarbitrase Binance.

Keterangan gambar: CEX dan DEX sulit dibedakan mana yang lebih unggul, Sumber gambar: @LorisTools

Hyperliquid memblokir alamat IP AS, tetapi pemblokiran ini tidak memiliki efek praktis, bandingkan, pengguna AS hampir tidak mungkin membuka akun di Binance global, hanya bisa menggunakan Binance US.

Coinbase baru saja mulai mengizinkan bisnis kontrak untuk pengguna AS, tetapi volume bisnisnya hampir tidak ada, sehingga, dalam ruang yang aneh, Hyperliquid merebut sebagian pengguna Eropa dan Amerika di luar Binance dan Coinbase, mengembangkan bisnis derivatif.

Tetapi perlu diperhatikan, arbitrase Hyperliquid tidak dapat menampilkan keajaiban pertumbuhan Binance, juga tidak dapat belajar dari Coinbase yang menduduki pasar patuh AS, mungkin hanya dapat menguasai 15% pangsa pasar Binance.

Dengan Hyperliquid fokus pada logam mulia, pasar prediksi, dan bisnis non-tradisional lainnya, dampaknya terhadap pasar keuangan global juga semakin kuat, jika AS dapat mengatur Binance dan Tornado Cash, maka tindakan terhadap Hyperliquid, juga tidak akan menghadapi perlawanan dari Singapura.

Pada akhirnya, sebagian besar model "ekonomi bawah tanah" tidak dapat memasuki bidang yang terukur, ambil USDT sebagai contoh, dalam hal cadangan penerbitan dan pemblokiran peredaran semakin ketat, serangan peretas Bybit melepaskan USDT dan pembekuan U hitam setelah kasus Huiwang adalah buktinya.

Huiwang dapat mendukung seluruh ekonomi bawah tanah Kamboja bahkan Asia Tenggara, tetapi Kamboja tidak tahan dengan harga dimasukkan dalam "daftar abu-abu" pencucian uang oleh FATF.
Binance dapat mendukung ekonomi on-chain BNB yang didominasi oleh altcoin, tetapi efek tekanan antara China dan AS membuat Binance tidak dapat menyentuh aset perdagangan yang lebih berkualitas.

Ini pada dasarnya adalah keunggulan biaya pengawasan rendah yang dimiliki AS, sanksi ekonomi AS ke luar negeri, intinya bukan dolar AS dan militer AS, AS adalah pasar konsumen tunggal terbesar di dunia dan pasar keuangan utama, begitu Kamboja dan Binance diputus hubungannya dengan AS, akhirnya seperti Korea Utara.

Jadi Binance membayar harga mahal untuk patuh, jadi kepatuhan Hyperliquid hanya masalah waktu.

Dari sini membahas masalah perpanjangan, yaitu apakah RWA dapat meniru轨迹 jalur perdagangan aset kripto, yaitu mempertahankan diri dalam arbitrase regulasi, mengembangkan volume bisnis ke dalam kerangka kepatuhan.

Ini dibangun di atas premis ganda bahwa Hyperliquid di bidang perdagangan aset kripto, hampir tidak mungkin melampaui Binance, dalam tingkat kepatuhan, hampir tidak mungkin melampaui Coinbase.

Jika berdiri di tahun 2017, CZ sendiri mungkin juga tidak percaya bahwa CEX adalah masa depan, melihat ke depan perangko koin, P2P, O2O, ofo adalah angin sesaat, melihat ke belakang, penambangan DeFi, NFT, GameFi, SocialFi semua berakhir dengan sia-sia.

Jadi Binance dan BNB harus dipahami sebagai proyek,光环 di atasnya diperpanjang terus menerus oleh efek kekayaan, seharusnya berakhir dengan buru-buru, seperti satu gelembung keuangan demi satu.

Tetapi di bawah efek jaringan, efek jaringan perdagangan melepaskan diri dari belenggu aset kripto, memasuki semua bidang keuangan, sehingga bertemu dengan RWA dalam arti luas, stablecoin berbunga menyerang CBDC, sekuritisasi berbasis aset cepat atau lambat juga akan ditokenisasi.

Misalnya panduan regulasi Timur besar kali ini, pada dasarnya adalah luapan dampak AS di bidang keuangan, akan mengubah keuangan on-chain dengan cara yang unik.

Keterangan gambar: Bunga mekar di dalam tembok, harum di luar tembok

Terhadap langkah-langkah pengawasan baru Timur besar, interpretasi yang diberikan Caixin dibagi menjadi empat kategori: utang luar negeri, ekuitas, sekuritisasi aset, dan lainnya, tetapi menurut saya, satu-satunya yang bermakna adalah potongan tokenisasi sekuritas, sesuai dengan arah reformasi "sekuritisasi semua aset", tentang ini:

Memperjelas departemen pengawas adalah Komisi Sekuritas
Perlu persetujuan Komisi Sekuritas sebelum diterbitkan
Hanya mengizinkan penerbitan dari dalam negeri ke luar negeri

Dan, panduan tokenisasi sekuritas kali ini memperjelas bahwa hak dan pendapatan harus patuh, ini sesuai dengan proses evolusi SEC yang mendorong tokenisasi "saham" asli, sedangkan stablecoin RMB luar negeri, utang luar negeri, dan dana situasinya lebih khusus.

Bisnis stablecoin RMB lepas pantai luar negeri selalu ada, penerbit USDT perusahaan Tether juga terlibat, tetapi kurang penggunaan praktis, volume bisnis sangat kecil;
Penerbitan obligasi luar negeri dan pendanaan on-chain, telah dilakukan secara faktual, telah sepenuhnya terisolasi dari aset dalam negeri dan diterbitkan untuk klien luar negeri, tidak terkait dengan panduan kali ini.

Pengawasan kali ini melibatkan penerbitan luar negeri aset dalam negeri, pada dasarnya menekankan isolasi ini, luar negeri milik luar negeri, dalam negeri milik dalam negeri, hanya ketika keduanya bersinggungan maka perlu masuk proses pengawasan.

Di bidang RWA saat ini, China dan AS telah secara faktual melakukan perlombaan, luapan likuiditas ini ke on-chain, cukup untuk mengubah landscape keuangan saat ini.

Kesimpulan

Nasib suatu industri, tentu saja tergantung pada perjuangan diri sendiri, tetapi juga harus mempertimbangkan perjalanan sejarah.

CZ sendiri mungkin tidak percaya bahwa CEX adalah masa depan, bahkan Bitcoin hanya satu tahap dari bentuk skema piramida baru, akan cepat menjadi istilah sejarah yang lenyap seperti P2P, pinjaman berbahaya tinggi, dll.

Tapi semua orang tidak menyangka, CEX bertahan sampai tahun 2026, Hyperliquid menyerang bentuk baru seperti logam mulia dan pasar prediksi, tetapi masih belum Flip Binance.

Jika Hyperliquid ditambah RWA, kali ini, bisakah sampai ke seberang?

Bitcoin Decouples From Global M2 Liquidity As Money Supply Hits Record High

Bitcoin is diverging from a record-high global M2 money supply (over $135 trillion), challenging the historical assumption that rising liquidity directly lifts BTC prices. While a bullish view suggests Bitcoin is merely lagging and will eventually catch up as capital rotates into riskier assets, a more cautious "regime-change" argument posits that factors like spot ETFs, institutional flows, and a stronger dollar may have weakened the direct correlation. For traders, this divergence presents a clear macro question to monitor: whether Bitcoin's price will confirm a delayed rally or signal a lasting change in its relationship with global liquidity. The outcome will shape how future liquidity data is interpreted.

Fed's Internal Doves Flock to Hawkish Stance, Warsh's Debut "Between a Rock and a Hard Place"

U.S. Federal Reserve officials who previously advocated for rate cuts, including Governor Christopher Waller, have recently shifted their stance, with many now not ruling out the possibility of future rate hikes. This sets a challenging stage for new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first policy meeting. Appointed by President Trump based on his dovish views, Warsh now faces a committee where the debate has pivoted from "when to cut" to "whether to hike," driven by persistent inflation above 3%, a strong labor market, and supply-side pressures from AI infrastructure demands and geopolitical tensions. Key figures illustrate the shift. Governor Waller, once concerned about employment, now says data has pushed him toward considering rate increases. Even moderate voices like Governor Lisa Cook, while expecting inflation to ease, have indicated readiness to hike if it fails to do so. Long-time hawks such as regional Fed presidents Beth Hammack, Lorie Logan, and Neel Kashkari have grown more vocal, arguing that the real policy rate is effectively falling and that action may soon be needed. The upcoming Fed meeting is expected to keep rates steady but will likely remove the "easing bias" from its statement, signaling a neutral stance between cuts and hikes. The quarterly "dot plot" is anticipated to show most officials projecting no cuts this year, with some potentially indicating hikes. Chair Warsh, a critic of the Fed's reliance on forward guidance like the dot plot, must navigate communicating this pivot using tools he has questioned, all while steering policy in a direction counter to the preferences of the president who appointed him. The consensus suggests the Fed's next move could well be a rate increase.

The Trillion-Yuan Market Cap 'Yi Zhong Tian': Who is the True Value King?

The article analyzes the three leading Chinese optical module companies, collectively nicknamed "Yi Zhong Tian": Xinyisheng, Zhongji Innolight, and TFC Optical Communication. It evaluates their "cost-performance" not by current stock price, but through three lenses: PEG ratio (growth vs. valuation), earnings quality, and premium/discount for certainty. Xinyisheng shows the most attractive PEG ratio and high profitability, but its valuation reflects discounts for risks like high customer concentration and reliance on overseas markets. Zhongji Innolight, the most expensive, commands a premium for its market leadership, dominant share in key products like 800G/1.6T modules, and higher earnings certainty, though it faces geopolitical risks. TFC Optical, as an upstream component supplier ("water seller"), has the highest gross margin and bets on the long-term CPO/NPO architecture trend, but trades at a high valuation with more stable, less explosive growth. The core argument is that while these companies dominate module assembly, the true profit pool and technological moat lie upstream in laser and switch chips, currently controlled by U.S. firms like Lumentum and Coherent. The long-term "cost-performance" for these Chinese leaders hinges on whether the domestic industry, exemplified by companies like Yuanjie Technology, can successfully move up the value chain into high-power laser chips. Otherwise, their high growth may remain confined to the lower-margin assembly segment.

Has the Crypto Market Bottomed? Here's What Institutions Think

The crypto market is in a period of significant debate, with leading institutions offering differing views on whether a bottom has been reached. Three prominent firms have published detailed analyses: * **Galaxy Digital** argues Bitcoin has **not yet bottomed**. Their analysis of 13 historical indicators across six dimensions (valuation, profit-taking, miner pressure, etc.) shows only four are fully met. They project a potential bottom range between $30k and $54k. * **NYDIG** states a bottom is **possible but not likely**. While metrics are close to historic bear market extremes, they note the absence of a classic panic-selling event. They also suggest increased institutional adoption may have structurally altered the market cycle, potentially leading to a shallower downturn. * **Standard Chartered Bank** asserts the **bottom has already occurred** at around $59k. They cite two key factors: potential US-Iran diplomatic progress and the anticipated SpaceX IPO, which they believe absorbed capital and caused ETF selling pressure that is now subsiding. They forecast a year-end price target of $100k. Despite the surface-level disagreement, the reports share critical common ground more valuable for long-term investors: 1. All three believe the market bottom will form **within this year**. 2. All agree the current price is **closer to the bottom than to previous highs**. 3. All maintain a **bullish long-term outlook** for Bitcoin and a new cycle. The core takeaway is that while the exact bottom price ($40k, $50k, or $60k) is debated, the consensus is that a bottom is imminent. For long-term holders, the primary focus should not be pinpointing the absolute low, but on the future potential for prices to reach $100k, $200k, or higher. The fundamental thesis for Bitcoin—sovereign debt accumulation, inflation, declining trust in centralized institutions, global digitization, and improved accessibility—remains intact and is arguably strengthening. The overall landscape is viewed as more favorable than in previous crypto winters.

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.

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. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. 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. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance.

Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms.

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.
