Abstract

Khi lợi thế kênh phân phối cạn kiệt, các giao thức DeFi dựa vào đâu để chống lại sự thâu tóm của các gập khổng lồ? Bài viết phân tích chiến lược của các công ty lớn như Coinbase, Stripe và Kraken khi họ tiến xuống tầng cơ sở, kiểm soát cơ sở hạ tầng để nắm quyền định giá và giữ lại lợi nhuận. Coinbase xây dựng Base, thu phí sắp xếp từ mọi giao dịch, trong khi Morpho, giao thức cho vay cốt lõi của Coinbase, vẫn phải chia sẻ doanh thu. Stripe mua lại Bridge để phát hành stablecoin riêng, giữ lại lợi nhuận thay vì trả cho Circle. Kraken mua NinjaTrader để có giấy phép giao dịch phái sinh, giảm sự phụ thuộc. Bài viết chỉ ra rằng các giao thức mã nguồn mở có thể tự bảo vệ bằng cách triển khai đa chuỗi (multi-chain). Ví dụ, Morpho và Uniswap không phụ thuộc vào một chuỗi duy nhất. Khi bị mất thị phần trên Base vào tay Aerodrome (do Coinbase hỗ trợ), Uniswap vẫn phát triển mạnh trên nhiều chuỗi khác. Sự gắn kết sâu vào hệ thống back-end của doanh nghiệp khiến việc thay thế các giao thức này trở nên tốn kém và rủi ro, như trường hợp Coinbase vẫn dùng Morpho cho sản phẩm cho vay Bitcoin của mình. Tương lai có thể tiến tới sự thống trị của một vài gã khổng lồ, nhưng các giao thức có năng lực kỹ thuật chuyên sâu, được áp dụng rộng rãi và có chiến lược đa chuỗi vẫn có thể tồn tại trong thế cân bằng lẫn nhau với các nền tảng lớn.

Trong phim "Goodfellas", Ray Liotta có câu thoại: "Đừng luyên thuyên, đưa tiền đây." Câu nói này xé toang bức màn lãng mạn hóa đạo nghĩa băng đảng trong các tác phẩm như "Bố già", phơi bày bản chất lạnh lùng, ký sinh và chỉ chạy theo lợi nhuận của tội phạm có tổ chức. Tiếp theo, tôi sẽ sử dụng logic tương tự để nói về các công ty công nghệ lớn.

Kiểm soát lợi nhuận, bạn mới kiểm soát được giá trị. Để đạt được điều này, thậm chí bạn không cần phải xây dựng một giao thức chuỗi công khai hay một dự án. Đây là một cuộc chiến giành lợi nhuận không có luật lệ. Nhưng chúng ta không thể trách Coinbase, Stripe hay Kraken vì đã lựa chọn như vậy.

Theo logic kinh doanh cơ bản nhất, hành động của họ giống như một bước đi khôn ngoan trong bất động sản: chiếm lấy kênh phân phối lưu lượng trước. Giờ đây, họ nắm quyền phát ngôn trên kênh, đặt câu hỏi từ trên cao: "Rốt cuộc ai nắm quyền thương lượng?"

Coinbase tự xây dựng blockchain; Stripe bỏ ra 1,1 tỷ USD để mua lại cơ sở hạ tầng, một tài sản mà lẽ ra họ có thể thuê; Kraken chi 1,5 tỷ USD mua lại sàn giao dịch phái sinh; Apple xây dựng App Store. Logic của chiến lược này là: để người khác mở rộng thị trường, chịu rủi ro giai đoạn đầu, khi không gian lợi nhuận của ngành đủ hấp dẫn, thì thu tóm cơ sở hạ tầng cốt lõi. Vấn đề cốt lõi bài viết này thảo luận: Khi kênh phân phối lưu lượng không còn giá trị cốt lõi, ngành sẽ đi về đâu?

Coinbase sở hữu 110 triệu người dùng đã xác minh danh tính. Trong nhiều năm, sản phẩm cho vay mà họ ra mắt người dùng luôn được xây dựng dựa trên giao thức mã nguồn mở Morpho, tất cả phí giao thức đều thuộc về Morpho. Sau đó, Coinbase ra mắt blockchain lớp hai riêng Base. Morpho chọn triển khai trên Base, chỉ vì lượng người dùng khổng lồ của Coinbase có thể mang lại khối lượng giao dịch. Giờ đây, mọi khoản phí sắp xếp (sequencing fee) phát sinh từ mỗi giao dịch trên Base đều chảy vào túi Coinbase, chứ không phải Morpho.

Base tạo ra 76 triệu USD doanh thu phí sắp xếp ròng năm 2024, 74 triệu USD năm 2025. Trước tháng 2/2026, theo thỏa thuận ủy quyền, Coinbase cần chia sẻ một phần doanh thu cho Optimism. Nhưng cuối cùng Coinbase cắt đứt hợp tác, chuyển sang kiến trúc cốt lõi tự phát triển, giờ đây 64 triệu USD lợi nhuận hoàn toàn tự giữ lại. Trong khi đó, Morpho vẫn bám trụ trên Base, phát triển tốt, tổng giá trị tài sản khóa (TVL) đạt 2,5 tỷ USD. Chỉ có điều, mỗi nghiệp vụ Morpho xử lý đều phải chia lợi nhuận cho Coinbase.

Coinbase dựa trên kiến trúc cốt lõi của Morpho để ra mắt sản phẩm cho vay thế chấp Bitcoin trị giá 300 triệu USD. Bitcoin được đóng gói (wrapped) của họ, cbBTC, là tài sản thế chấp lớn nhất trong Morpho, chiếm 38% tổng TVL của giao thức. Điều này tạo thành một cấu trúc kiềm chế lẫn nhau: Morpho nắm năng lực cốt lõi cấp dưới của sản phẩm tín dụng Coinbase, Coinbase thì có thể thu phí chia sẻ từ tất cả nghiệp vụ của Morpho, cả hai bên đều khó có thể dễ dàng cắt đứt hợp tác.

Nhìn vào ví dụ của Stripe: Đầu năm 2025, họ chi 1,1 tỷ USD mua lại Bridge. Trước đó, hoạt động stablecoin của Stripe luôn được triển khai dựa trên cơ sở hạ tầng của Circle. Circle nắm quyền phát hành stablecoin, đồng thời kiếm được lợi nhuận từ lãi suất thả nổi của tài sản thế chấp dự trữ. Khi đó, tất cả lợi nhuận từ hàng nghìn tỷ giao dịch stablecoin của Stripe đều chảy về Circle. Việc mua lại Bridge đã hoàn toàn đảo ngược tình thế. Bridge phát hành stablecoin riêng USDB, tài sản thế chấp là quỹ thị trường tiền tệ của BlackRock. Sau khi chuyển sang USDB, toàn bộ lợi tức từ khoản dự trữ khổng lồ này được giữ lại trong hệ sinh thái Stripe. Quy mô giao dịch thanh toán hàng năm của Stripe lên tới 1,4 nghìn tỷ USD, việc thuê dài hạn cơ sở hạ tầng lợi nhuận của đối thủ khiến họ mất hàng trăm triệu USD lợi nhuận mỗi năm.

Patrick Collison từng gọi stablecoin là "chất siêu dẫn nhiệt độ phòng của ngành tài chính". Bỏ ra 1,1 tỷ USD để sở hữu toàn bộ công cụ cốt lõi này, rõ ràng kinh tế hơn nhiều so với việc liên tục nộp phí qua đường cho đối thủ.

Sàn giao dịch chỉ có spot có trần tăng trưởng tự nhiên, người dùng chỉ có thể giao dịch vài trăm loại token. Nhưng Kraken muốn thu hút nhà đầu tư tổ chức và nhà đầu tư bán lẻ chuyên nghiệp, nhóm này chủ yếu giao dịch thông qua hợp đồng tương lai và các sản phẩm phái sinh. Vận hành nghiệp vụ phái sinh cần có đăng ký với Ủy ban Giao dịch Hàng hóa Tương lai Hoa Kỳ (CFTC), tư cách thành viên Hiệp hội Giao dịch Hàng hóa Tương lai Quốc gia (NFA), giấy phép môi giới - kinh doanh (broker-dealer), toàn bộ hệ thống tuân thủ cần vài năm để xây dựng; ngay cả khi tự xây từ đầu, cơ quan quản lý cũng có thể từ chối cấp phép vì nhiều lý do không kiểm soát được.

Đây cũng là lý do Kraken nhắm đến NinjaTrader. Vụ mua lại trị giá 1,5 tỷ USD vào ngày 15 tháng 1 năm 2025 không chỉ mang về 1,7 triệu tài khoản giao dịch đã nạp tiền, mà quan trọng hơn là trực tiếp có được toàn bộ giấy phép môi giới - kinh doanh mà Kraken khó có thể tự phát triển nhanh chóng.

Thông qua việc mua lại tư cách pháp lý tuân thủ có sẵn, Kraken hoàn toàn thoát khỏi sự phụ thuộc vào các đối tác bên ngoài. Giờ đây họ sở hữu toàn bộ hệ thống công nghệ và giấy phép, không cần phụ thuộc vào ai, cũng không cần chờ đợi hàng năm trời để được phê duyệt quản lý.

Có người sẽ nói: Doanh nghiệp lớn thôn tính giao thức nhỏ, đây không phải là điều bình thường trong ngành sao? Có gì mới?

Tổng TVL của Morpho là 6,4 tỷ USD, trong đó 3,308 tỷ USD được triển khai trên Ethereum, 2,488 tỷ USD trên Base. Nếu Coinbase quyết định gỡ Morpho, chuyển sang sử dụng giao thức cho vay tự phát triển, Morpho sẽ mất ngay 39% TVL; nhưng trên Ethereum vẫn giữ lại 52% lượng hiện có, đồng thời tiếp tục mở rộng sang nhiều chuỗi công khai như Hyperliquid L1, Monad, Arbitrum, toàn bộ hoạt động vẫn có thể vận hành ổn định.

Ví dụ về Aerodrome trên chuỗi Base minh họa trực quan tác động của việc bên vận hành chuỗi hỗ trợ đối thủ cạnh tranh riêng. Aerodrome là sàn giao dịch phi tập trung (DEX) gốc trên Base, kiến trúc được tối ưu hóa cho Base. Coinbase Ventures nắm giữ khoảng 20 triệu USD token AERO, đây là khoản đầu tư token thanh khoản lớn nhất của họ; đồng thời, đội ngũ dự án thông qua việc khóa token AERO để bỏ phiếu, định hướng thanh khoản chảy vào các sản phẩm của Coinbase, bao gồm pool thanh khoản cbBTC. Aerodrome đảm nhận khoảng 51% khối lượng giao dịch DEX trên Base, đỉnh điểm tháng 9/2024 chiếm 77%. Uniswap triển khai trên 44 chuỗi công khai là DEX lớn thứ hai trên Base, chiếm 30% khối lượng giao dịch. Ngay cả khi mất vị thế dẫn đầu trên một chuỗi duy nhất, Uniswap cũng không biến mất: năm 2025, họ hoàn thành 212 tỷ USD khối lượng giao dịch trên Base, khối lượng giao dịch trung bình hàng tháng trên toàn chuỗi ước tính 73 tỷ USD.

Ví dụ này xác nhận: Triển khai đa chuỗi là hào phòng thủ tự nhiên của giao thức. Dự án chỉ triển khai trên một chuỗi công khai duy nhất, số phận hoàn toàn bị kiểm soát bởi bên vận hành chuỗi — đối phương có thể bất cứ lúc nào hỗ trợ đối thủ cạnh tranh để ép không gian sống của bạn; trong khi giao thức triển khai đa chuỗi, ngay cả khi mất thị trường một chuỗi, hoạt động trên các lĩnh vực khác vẫn có thể vận hành bình thường. Morpho sau khi chứng kiến Uniswap bị Aerodrome phân chia lưu lượng trên Base, đã nhanh chóng mở rộng triển khai trên nhiều chuỗi công khai. Nền tảng lưu lượng lớn có thể thâm nhập xuống bố trí cơ sở hạ tầng cấp dưới, trong khi giao thức mã nguồn mở có thể mở rộng theo chiều ngang trên nhiều chuỗi để phân tán rủi ro.

Nếu bạn phụ thuộc vào cơ sở hạ tầng cốt lõi không thuộc về mình, bạn không thực sự kiểm soát công việc kinh doanh của mình. Bên nắm quyền kiểm soát cốt lõi nắm quyền thương lượng có thể đè bẹp bạn, có thể định nghĩa trải nghiệm sản phẩm của bạn, cuối cùng chi phối sự ổn định vận hành của bạn. Đối với doanh nghiệp quy mô này, mối quan hệ phụ thuộc này mỗi ngày đều làm hao hụt lợi nhuận thực tế. Logic kinh doanh này không phải chỉ riêng ngành công nghiệp mật mã: Amazon dựa vào AWS để xây dựng rào cản, Apple khi xưa bị hạn chế bởi lộ trình chip của Intel, đã mất nhiều năm tự nghiên cứu chip tùy chỉnh để thoát khỏi sự trói buộc.

Mọi người đều có thể tra cứu thời gian thực Coinbase kiếm được bao nhiêu lợi nhuận từ phí sắp xếp của Base, cũng có thể xem rõ ràng quy mô TVL của Morpho trên từng chuỗi công khai. Sự chiếm đoạt giá trị này diễn ra hoàn toàn minh bạch, điều mà lợi nhuận cơ sở hạ tầng nội bộ của doanh nghiệp internet truyền thống như Amazon không thể làm được.

Ngành có một xu hướng tiềm ẩn: Tương lai thị trường do Coinbase, Stripe, Kraken và một số ít ngân hàng vài gã khổng lồ kiểm soát toàn bộ. Họ thông suốt toàn bộ chuỗi công nghiệp từ giao thức cốt lõi đến thẻ thanh toán, giao thức mã nguồn mở chỉ được dùng để lấp đầy các phân khúc ngách mà gã khổng lồ chưa bố trí. Đây là một con đường phát triển hoàn toàn có thể triển khai của fintech. Công nghệ mã nguồn mở không còn là vùng đất sáng tạo rộng mở tự do, mà chỉ trở thành miếng băng dính vá víu trong những khe hở nhỏ mà doanh nghiệp khổng lồ chưa nghĩ ra cách kiếm tiền. Giống như một câu nói đùa: "Nhìn giao thức mã nguồn mở nhỏ chất lượng này, chúng ta trực tiếp xây một hệ thống thương mại hóa trên nó để thu hoạch lưu lượng."

Nhưng tôi thiên về nhận định lạc quan: Kết hợp với nhiều vụ mua lại hiện nay, xác suất của cấu trúc độc quyền toàn diện này không cao như trông thấy. Giao thức cốt lõi rất khó bị gã khổng lồ độc chiếm như kênh lưu lượng. Morpho chỉ cần vài tuần để hoàn thành việc triển khai trên một chuỗi công khai mới; một giao thức cho vay đã qua thử thách thực tế, được nhúng sâu vào nghiệp vụ tổ chức, chi phí thay thế cực kỳ cao, người ngoài khó có thể cảm nhận trực quan. Sản phẩm cho vay Bitcoin trị giá 300 triệu USD của Coinbase vẫn dựa trên Morpho, bởi vì việc sao chép hệ thống an ninh của Morpho từ đầu cần nhiều năm, còn mang lại rủi ro an ninh mà Coinbase không muốn chịu.

Giao thức có thể sống sót qua làn sóng hợp nhất của gã khổng lồ này đều đáp ứng một điều kiện cốt lõi: Hoàn thành bố trí toàn đa chuỗi trước khi gã khổng lồ lưu lượng xây dựng hệ sinh thái riêng, nhúng sâu vào hệ thống hậu kỳ của các doanh nghiệp lớn, khiến chi phí kinh tế để thay thế bản thân cao đến mức không thể chịu được. Ngay cả Robinhood, gã khổng lồ lưu lượng nắm lượng người dùng khổng lồ, cũng chọn kết nối với sàn giao dịch hợp đồng vĩnh cửu bằng chứng không kiến thức (zk-proof perpetual) của bên thứ ba Lighter làm nền tảng giao dịch. Robinhood Ventures tham gia vòng gọi vốn 68 triệu USD của Lighter, người sáng lập Vlad Tenev duy trì liên lạc chặt chẽ với đội ngũ dự án.

Nếu chỉ có kênh lưu lượng mới có thể xây dựng rào cản, Robinhood lẽ ra có thể tự nghiên cứu toàn bộ nền tảng cốt lõi như Coinbase. Nhưng họ đã không làm vậy: Kết hợp tốc độ giao dịch của sàn tập trung và logic khớp lệnh có thể xác minh bằng chứng không kiến thức là một vấn đề kỹ thuật phân khúc khó khăn cực cao, đội ngũ Lighter mất hơn một năm mới chinh phục; Robinhood tính toán sau cho rằng, mua quyền sử dụng công nghệ trưởng thành trực tiếp, kinh tế hơn nhiều so với việc tự nghiên cứu từ đầu.

Hiện tại Morpho chiếm vị trí thuận lợi của sự kiềm chế hai chiều này, Uniswap là người đi tiên phong trên con đường này. Tốc độ mở rộng của tổ chức và tốc độ mở rộng theo chiều ngang đa chuỗi của giao thức mã nguồn mở cạnh tranh lẫn nhau, kết quả cuối cùng sẽ quyết định hướng đi của cấu trúc ngành.

Nghiệp vụ cốt lõi của gã khổng lồ như Stripe, Coinbase, giai đoạn hiện tại vẫn dựa trên công nghệ mã nguồn mở. Trong ngắn hạn, giao thức mã nguồn mở vẫn có thể đứng vững an toàn, hai năm sau cấu trúc ngành ra sao, chúng ta hãy xem xét lại.

LAB’s 23% price crash meets bearish bets – Can bulls defend $13?

LAB's price plummeted over 23% in 24 hours, trading near $13.53 as bearish sentiment dominated. Despite the sharp decline, on-chain data shows ongoing token accumulation, with negative spot exchange netflows indicating holders are moving LAB to private wallets rather than selling. However, this has not offset broader selling pressure. Technically, LAB is testing the lower support of its ascending channel near $13. A break below could target the $12 demand zone. Indicators like the MACD and Parabolic SAR remain bearish. In derivatives markets, a negative funding rate shows sustained short interest, though this creates potential for a short squeeze if buyers return. In summary, LAB faces heavy selling pressure with key channel support at risk. A successful defense of $13 could stabilize the price, while a breakdown would likely target $12 next.

$ANSEM deployer sends 60% of supply to Ansem, who says he has airdropped $7M to holders

The Solana memecoin $ANSEM is facing scrutiny after on-chain analysts revealed the token's deployer transferred approximately 60% of its total supply—650 million tokens—to crypto influencer Ansem. The deployer then sold their remaining tokens for about $11,800, securing an estimated profit of $5,500, despite the token briefly reaching a valuation above $120 million. In response, Ansem stated he has already distributed roughly $7 million worth of $ANSEM through community airdrops and plans further distributions as the token's market cap grows, aiming to expand the holder base. However, analytics platform Bubblemaps identified an early holder cluster that has sold about $500,000 of tokens and still holds around 1% of the supply, indicating continued selling pressure amidst the token's volatile rally and $43 million market capitalization.

BTC Market Pulse: Week 27

Bitcoin's price remained weak, testing support around $58K before stabilizing near $60K. The market is in a structural adjustment with persistent net selling in spot markets and capital outflows from US ETFs, indicating a lack of buyer conviction. Derivatives markets show ongoing deleveraging and high demand for downside protection, reflecting a cautious and defensive posture among traders. On-chain metrics present a mixed picture: transfer volume has recovered, suggesting large capital movement, but rising "hot" (short-term) capital and subdued network fees point to underlying caution and potential volatility. Overall, while finding tentative stability, Bitcoin lacks the key drivers for a sustained recovery, requiring a significant return of buyer confidence.

Strategy approves Bitcoin monetization program under new capital framework

Strategy has approved a board-authorized Bitcoin monetization program under a new Digital Credit Capital Framework, formally outlining for the first time how it may sell portions of its Bitcoin holdings. The framework allows the company to monetize Bitcoin to build up to $1.25 billion in U.S. dollar reserves, fund dividend and interest payments, and repurchase preferred securities and common stock. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor described it as an evolution in capital strategy, enabling Bitcoin to support shareholder value while remaining the primary treasury asset. The announcement accompanied disclosures of a $2.55 billion cash reserve, authorization for $2 billion in buybacks, and an unchanged Bitcoin holding of 847,363 BTC.

In Such a Crowded Cross-border Payment Track, Where Does the Next Stop Lie in the Future?

The crowded cross-border payments industry faces a paradox: intense competition above water with financing and narratives, while beneath, price wars and shrinking margins in basic PSP services are common. The path forward lies not in simple "cross-border" solutions but in deep **localization**. Success requires mastering the fragmented and tightening regulations of fiat currencies in each market—the "last mile" of compliance, banking, and settlement. Many Chinese PSPs have succeeded by following Chinese merchants overseas but have not deeply penetrated mainstream local merchant ecosystems abroad. Their strong product capabilities need to be applied to new, complex markets. The future belongs to companies that evolve from single-channel providers to **cross-border capital network operators**. This means moving beyond competing on transaction fees to creating internal networks that optimize capital efficiency through multi-directional matching, netting, and position reuse across countries and currencies. For Web3 and stablecoins, the key is integration, not replacement. Stablecoins offer efficiency gains but cannot bypass the foundational trust, compliance, and legal frameworks of traditional finance. The realistic path is the gradual adoption and "taming" of Web3 technologies by established financial institutions. The ultimate solution is a **dual clearing infrastructure** combining deep local fiat capabilities (local accounts, compliance, banking) with lightweight stablecoin-native capabilities (on-chain settlement, wallets). The biggest opportunity lies not in oversaturated mainstream corridors but in complex, underserved regional corridors (e.g., specific CIS, Middle East-Southeast Asia, or Latin American trade pairs). The winners will be those who build hard-to-replicate, deep capabilities in these areas—acting as the essential "clearing shovels" or infrastructure providers. The future keywords are **more local, more networked, and more stablecoin-native**. High-profit opportunities remain in the non-standardized, difficult-to-replicate deep waters of the industry, requiring genuine on-the-ground presence and long-term patience.

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.
