Abstract

Anthropic, công ty phát triển AI Claude, đang lên kế hoạch tự thiết kế chip AI chuyên dụng, bắt đầu từ chip suy luận (inference) 2nm. Thông tin từ The Information cho biết họ đang thảo luận với Samsung về việc sử dụng quy trình sản xuất 2nm và công nghệ đóng gói tiên tiến của hãng này. Động thái này diễn ra trong bối cảnh ngành bán dẫn có biến động, nhưng nhu cầu tính toán cho AI vẫn tăng vọt. Việc hợp tác với Samsung được củng cố sau vòng đầu tư 650 tỷ USD của Anthropic hồi tháng 5, với sự tham gia của Samsung, SK Hynix và Micron. Samsung kỳ vọng đây là cơ hội để thúc đẩy mảng kinh doanh gia công chip, cạnh tranh với TSMC. Tuy nhiên, việc tự sản xuất chip rất phức tạp và Anthropic vẫn phụ thuộc nhiều vào các đối tác hiện tại như AWS (Trainium), Google (TPU) và đặc biệt là NVIDIA GPU, vốn chiếm thị phần áp đảo. CEO Dario Amodei của Anthropic thừa nhận thách thức trong việc cân bằng giữa đặt mua đủ năng lực tính toán cho tăng trưởng và tránh rủi ro tài chính nếu tốc độ chậm lại. Chip tự thiết kế có thể giúp tối ưu hóa hiệu suất, giảm chi phí vận hành Claude và tăng khả năng tự chủ. Tuy nhiên, các nhà quan sát chỉ ra rằng xu hướng này thực chất lại làm phức tạp hóa chuỗi cung ứng toàn cầu, tạo ra sự phụ thuộc lẫn nhau chặt chẽ hơn giữa các công ty AI Mỹ và các nhà sản xuất châu Á.

Anthropic chuẩn bị tự chế tạo chip của riêng mình, và giống như Elon Musk, họ đã chọn Samsung thay vì TSMC.

The Information dẫn nguồn tin từ ba người am hiểu cho biết, Anthropic đã khởi động công việc sớm cho việc tự thiết kế chip AI và đang thảo luận với Samsung về việc sử dụng công nghệ chế tạo và đóng gói tiên tiến nhất 2 nanomet của hãng này để sản xuất con chip này.

Những người am hiểu trên cho biết, Anthropic cũng đang xác định chức năng, chỉ số hiệu suất của con chip cũng như cách nó được tích hợp trong máy chủ hoặc cụm máy chủ. Hiện tại, công ty đã bắt đầu làm việc với một số nhà cung cấp dịch vụ thiết kế, nhưng vẫn còn xa mới đến giai đoạn thiết kế chi tiết, thử nghiệm và sản xuất hàng loạt. Người am hiểu cũng cảnh báo rằng Anthropic vẫn có thể từ bỏ giữa chừng.

Tài liệu công khai cho thấy, đội ngũ chip của Anthropic đã bắt đầu được xây dựng. Ví dụ, vào ngày 9 tháng 6, công ty này đã chiêu mộ Clive Chan, một thành viên sớm của nhóm chip tùy chỉnh tại OpenAI.

Anthropic tỏ ra rất thận trọng trong việc bình luận công khai về chip tự thiết kế, chỉ nhấn mạnh rằng việc mở rộng sức mạnh tính toán trong tương lai vẫn chủ yếu dựa vào Trainium của AWS, TPU của Google và GPU của NVIDIA, còn lộ trình chip của riêng họ thì không bình luận.

Trên thực tế, tin đồn về ý tưởng tự thiết kế chip của Anthropic đã xuất hiện từ vài tháng trước. Hồi tháng 4, Reuters từng đưa tin rằng nhu cầu tính toán của Claude tăng quá nhanh, nguồn cung sức mạnh tính toán khả dụng không theo kịp, và Anthropic bắt đầu cân nhắc việc tự sản xuất chip. Nhưng khi đó mới chỉ là ý tưởng sơ bộ. Giờ đây nhìn lại, sự việc đã tiến thêm một bước.

Cần lưu ý rằng thông tin Anthropic tham gia sản xuất chip được tiết lộ ngay tại thời điểm cổ phiếu chip toàn cầu trải qua hai phiên giao dịch giảm mạnh liên tiếp. Chỉ số Philadelphia Semiconductor giảm gần 12% trong hai ngày, mức giảm lớn nhất kể từ ngày 5 tháng 6. Cổ phiếu chip nhớ bị ảnh hưởng nặng nề đặc biệt, Samsung Electronics giảm 9,1% trong phiên qua, SanDisk giảm 14,1%.

01 Một vụ huy động vốn đặt nền móng và cuộc đột phá của mảng gia công Samsung

Việc Samsung trở thành đối tác của Anthropic không có gì đáng ngạc nhiên.

Vào tháng 5 năm nay, Anthropic đã hoàn thành vòng gọi vốn Series H trị giá 650 tỷ USD, với sự tham gia của Samsung Electronics với tư cách nhà đầu tư chiến lược, cùng với hai gã khổng lồ chip nhớ SK Hynix và Micron Technology.

Khi đó nguồn cung chip nhớ khan hiếm, các nhà sản xuất thiết bị điện tử tiêu dùng như Apple buộc phải tăng giá, một lợi ích trực tiếp của khoản đầu tư này là gắn kết Anthropic với các nhà cung cấp chip mà sự phát triển của họ không thể tách rời.

Nhưng kế hoạch của Samsung không chỉ dừng lại ở lợi nhuận tài chính.

Công ty này là vua trong lĩnh vực chip nhớ, nhưng trong lĩnh vực gia công thì luôn tụt lại phía sau TSMC. Các dây chuyền sản xuất tiên tiến của TSMC vẫn là tiêu chuẩn ngành cho chip AI tinh vi, nhưng hiện tại nhu cầu chip AI khiến công suất của TSMC trở nên căng thẳng, điều này tạo cơ hội cho Samsung dùng công nghệ 2nm để giành khách hàng.

Theo báo cáo của The Information, Google đang cân nhắc giao một phần TPU tương lai cho Samsung sản xuất. Nếu có thể ký được hợp đồng với Anthropic, đó sẽ là một chiến thắng có ý nghĩa lớn đối với mảng gia công của Samsung.

Hai người am hiểu tiết lộ, Anthropic đang đánh giá quy trình chế tạo 2nm và cơ sở đóng gói tiên tiến của Samsung. "2nm" là một trong những công nghệ chế tạo chip tiên tiến nhất ngành, giúp bộ xử lý dày đặc hơn, tiết kiệm năng lượng hơn. Đóng gói tiên tiến là đặt bộ xử lý chính gần bộ nhớ tốc độ cao hơn, giúp dữ liệu chạy nhanh hơn bên trong chip.

Samsung là đối tác sản xuất bộ nhớ HBM và chip LPU của NVIDIA, ngược lại, Samsung cũng dựa vào phần mềm của NVIDIA để sản xuất chip. Hai công ty đang hợp tác xây dựng một nhà máy chip AI tại Hàn Quốc. Nếu Anthropic gia nhập danh sách khách hàng, Samsung sẽ có thêm một con bài trong cuộc đua công nghệ tiên tiến với TSMC.

Lý do Samsung dám tìm cách thu hút Anthropic là do sự đặt cược cả nước của Hàn Quốc vào ngành công nghiệp bán dẫn.

Chính phủ Hàn Quốc gần đây đã công bố kế hoạch đầu tư mười năm do Tập đoàn Samsung (công ty mẹ của Samsung Electronics) và Tập đoàn SK (công ty mẹ của SK Hynix) dẫn đầu, với tổng số vốn đầu tư 5180 tỷ USD của hai công ty để xây dựng bốn nhà máy chip nhớ tại Hàn Quốc.

Chỉ riêng Samsung, vào ngày 2 tháng 7 đã công bố phương án đầu tư cho khu vực Chungcheong với quy mô hơn 140 nghìn tỷ won, tương đương khoảng 900 tỷ USD. Trong đó, Samsung Electronics sẽ xây dựng cơ sở sản xuất HBM thế hệ tiếp theo tại Chungcheong và Onyang, bổ sung năm dây chuyền sản xuất mới. Kể từ khi cơn sốt AI bùng nổ, HBM luôn trong tình trạng cung không đủ cầu, việc mở rộng sản xuất có thể mang lại cho Samsung hàng chục tỷ USD doanh thu trong những năm tới. Samsung Electro-Mechanics cũng mở rộng công suất sản xuất chất nền đóng gói cho máy chủ AI tại Sejong, đồng thời đầu tư vào R&D công nghệ đóng gói tiên tiến.

Việc Samsung tham gia vòng gọi vốn của Anthropic là một canh bạc nhằm trở thành đối tác phần cứng lâu dài của họ.

02 Chip suy luận: Điểm đột phá cho vòng lặp tiêu tốn tiền

Con chip 2nm đầu tiên của Anthropic, dự kiến giống như OpenAI, sẽ tập trung vào suy luận.

Chip suy luận tùy chỉnh có thể giúp mô hình của Anthropic chạy nhanh hơn, tiêu thụ ít điện năng hơn, tiết kiệm hóa đơn điện toán đám mây hơn, đồng thời được tối ưu hóa phần cứng riêng cho Claude.

Trước đó, OpenAI đã chọn Broadcom để thiết kế một con chip suy luận có tên "Jalapeño", với mục tiêu chạy mô hình ngôn ngữ lớn hiệu quả hơn. OpenAI cho biết con chip này có hiệu suất năng lượng cao hơn, hiệu năng trên mỗi watt vượt trội hơn so với đối thủ cạnh tranh.

OpenAI hợp tác với Broadcom thiết kế chip suy luận tên "Jalapeño"

Google có TPU, Amazon có Trainium, Microsoft có Maia, Meta cũng đang tự phát triển. Anthropic gần như là phòng thí nghiệm AI chính cuối cùng vẫn hoàn toàn sử dụng chip của người khác. Quyền kiểm soát tự chủ trong lĩnh vực này quá hấp dẫn.

Vào tháng 2 năm nay, trong một cuộc phỏng vấn với người dẫn chương trình podcast Dwarkesh Patel, CEO Anthropic Dario Amodei đã nói về logic đằng sau các quyết định sức mạnh tính toán.

Amodei nói: "Nếu tôi giả định doanh thu tiếp tục tăng 10 lần mỗi năm, đến cuối năm 2026 sẽ là 100 tỷ, cuối năm 2027 sẽ là 1 nghìn tỷ. Tôi có thể đặt mua sức mạnh tính toán trị giá 1 nghìn tỷ USD dựa trên đó. Nhưng nếu dự đoán sai thì sao? Nếu tốc độ tăng trưởng chỉ là 5 lần chứ không phải 10 lần thì sao? Nếu doanh thu năm 2027 chỉ là 800 tỷ chứ không phải 1 nghìn tỷ, thì tôi sẽ phá sản. Không có biện pháp phòng ngừa rủi ro nào có thể cứu được tôi."

Vì vậy, Amodei phải tìm một điểm cân bằng cho Anthropic: Mua đủ sức mạnh tính toán để đảm bảo đón nhận được tình hình tăng trưởng cao, nhưng cũng không được mở rộng quá mức, đến mức một khi tốc độ tăng trưởng chậm lại, các khoản đầu tư ban đầu sẽ đè bẹp công ty.

Amodei tiết lộ, sức mạnh tính toán được xây dựng trên toàn cầu năm nay khoảng 10 đến 15 gigawatt, mỗi năm tăng khoảng gấp 3 lần, đến năm 2028 hoặc 2029, đầu tư sức mạnh tính toán hàng năm của ngành sẽ đạt hàng nghìn tỷ USD. Ông cho rằng đây chính là xu hướng mà ngành đang đi theo.

Tự thiết kế chip, đồng nghĩa với việc thêm tiền vào canh bạc này.

Một mặt, mỗi chút cải thiện hiệu quả trên chip tự thiết kế trong suy luận có thể tiết kiệm một khoản chi phí lớn trong các cụm máy chủ quy mô gigawatt. Mặt khác, khi các công ty đang cạnh tranh giành bộ xử lý, trung tâm dữ liệu và điện năng, việc sở hữu chip của riêng mình sẽ tăng thêm sự tự tin khi đàm phán.

03 Chuỗi cung ứng 'búp bê Nga': Ai phụ thuộc vào ai?

Anthropic muốn độc lập về chip, nhưng mạng lưới này ngày càng trở nên phức tạp hơn.

Lập trình viên Benny Lam trên mạng xã hội đã chỉ ra một hiện tượng: Mỗi phòng thí nghiệm AI của Mỹ đều tìm kiếm đối tác nhà máy gia công châu Á để hợp tác sản xuất chip tùy chỉnh, kết quả không phải là thoát khỏi sự phụ thuộc, mà là buộc chặt chuỗi cung ứng hơn.

Anthropic cần nhà máy bán dẫn của Samsung để giảm sự phụ thuộc vào NVIDIA, NVIDIA cần nhà máy bán dẫn của Samsung để đáp ứng nhu cầu công suất mở rộng không ngừng. Và Samsung cần giữ chân cả hai khách hàng lớn này cùng một lúc để duy trì sức sống cho hoạt động gia công của mình trong cuộc cạnh tranh với TSMC.

Ba bên bị buộc chặt với nhau, không bên nào có thể tách rời.

Lam nhận xét rằng, xu hướng chip tùy chỉnh lẽ ra nên mang lại cho các phòng thí nghiệm AI khả năng độc lập hơn, nhưng mỗi hợp tác mới của một phòng thí nghiệm Mỹ với một nhà máy gia công châu Á đều khiến mạng lưới này trở nên dày đặc hơn và khó tháo gỡ hơn.

Nhà phân tích công nghệ Vaibhav Sisinty cũng nhận thấy vai trò đặc biệt của Samsung trong ván cờ này.

Ông viết, việc Samsung đầu tư vào vòng gọi vốn 650 tỷ USD của Anthropic không chỉ vì lợi nhuận tài chính. Samsung là nhà sản xuất chip, nhà cung cấp bộ nhớ, nhà máy đóng gói tiên tiến, khoản đầu tư của họ đặt cược vào việc trở thành đối tác phần cứng của Anthropic. Hàng triệu lượt truy vấn mỗi ngày, mỗi lần gọi của Anthropic đều phải trả tiền cho tài nguyên tính toán, hóa đơn là một con số khổng lồ. Ai kiểm soát được chip suy luận của mình, người đó kiểm soát được tốc độ mở rộng và chi phí.

04 Thành lũy của NVIDIA vẫn vững chắc

Thiết kế một con chip AI cạnh tranh cực kỳ phức tạp, từ kiến trúc, phần mềm, chế tạo, thử nghiệm đến triển khai quy mô lớn, không bước nào có thể bỏ qua thời gian. Anthropic không thể tách rời các đối tác phần cứng hiện tại trong thời gian ngắn.

Nhìn vào bố trí sức mạnh tính toán hiện tại của Anthropic, chiến lược của họ đã khá rõ ràng. Công ty này luôn kiên trì con đường thuê đa đám mây, không đơn phương gắn kết với phần cứng NVIDIA như OpenAI hay xAI. Họ sử dụng đồng thời chip của Amazon, Google và NVIDIA, và đang đàm phán hợp tác chip với Microsoft cũng như công ty khởi nghiệp Anh Fractile.

Anthropic gắn kết đặc biệt sâu sắc với Amazon và Google.

Tháng 4 năm 2026, Anthropic mở rộng hợp tác với AWS, cam kết đầu tư hơn 1000 tỷ USD trong thập kỷ tới, khóa chặt công suất tính toán mới 5 gigawatt, bao gồm các chip tùy chỉnh như Trainium2, Trainium3, Trainium4. Số tiền Amazon đã đầu tư cho Anthropic lên tới hàng chục tỷ USD.

Đồng thời, Anthropic lại ký hợp đồng dài hạn với Google và Broadcom, từ năm 2027 sẽ nhận được khoảng 3,5 gigawatt sức mạnh tính toán TPU thế hệ tiếp theo. Trước đó vào năm 2025, hai bên đã ký thỏa thuận hàng trăm tỷ USD, liên quan đến hàng triệu TPU và công suất hơn 1 gigawatt.

Claude cũng là một trong số ít mô hình tiên phong có thể sử dụng đồng thời trên AWS, Google Cloud và Azure.

Chưa hết. Vào tháng 5 năm 2026, Anthropic đã thuê toàn bộ công suất của cụm tính toán SpaceX Colossus 1 từ xAI.

Cụm máy chủ này tại trung tâm dữ liệu Memphis, chứa hơn 220.000 GPU NVIDIA, công suất hơn 300 megawatt, tiền thuê hàng tháng khoảng 1,25 tỷ USD. Tổng giá trị hợp đồng hàng trăm tỷ USD, có hiệu lực đến khoảng năm 2029. Hai bên thậm chí đã thảo luận ý tưởng triển khai sức mạnh tính toán đa gigawatt trên quỹ đạo.

Bố trí rộng rãi, song song nhiều nhà cung cấp, đó là cách Anthropic phân tán rủi ro.

Nhưng ở thời điểm hiện tại, chủ bài trên bàn vẫn là NVIDIA. Theo ước tính của The Information, mặc dù hoạt động gọi vốn và thiết kế trên thị trường chip suy luận tiếp tục nóng lên, thị phần của NVIDIA trong những năm gần đây thậm chí còn tăng lên 74%. CEO Jensen Huang luôn khẳng định rằng, trong các tác vụ suy luận, chip của NVIDIA hiệu quả hơn bất kỳ giải pháp thay thế nào.

Private Credit in US Dollar

Stablecoins are evolving into a new type of money market fund, channeling crypto deposits into the $2 trillion private credit market. This mirrors the 1970s innovation where money market funds pooled small deposits to buy high-yield government securities, bypassing bank restrictions. Today, platforms like Apollo's ACRED tokenized fund and Figure's on-chain lending system allow stablecoin holders to access institutional private credit strategies with no minimum investment, offering yields of 8-12%. On-chain tokenization enables greater liquidity and DeFi composability (e.g., using tokens as collateral for leveraged positions) compared to traditional, locked-up private credit funds. Consequently, on-chain private credit has grown 15x in a year to $5.87 billion, though it remains a tiny fraction (0.3%) of the global market. However, this model carries significant risks, as illustrated by the failure of Goldfinch. Launched in 2021, it directed crypto deposits to motorcycle loans in Kenya and Nigeria. Critical issues included a lack of local oversight, leading to unauthorized fund transfers and borrower defaults. With $56 million now trapped in non-performing loans, its collapse highlights that while blockchain streamlines capital transfer, the essential 90% of lending—underwriting, monitoring, and recovery—remains a costly, localized challenge. Success requires robust, traditional credit infrastructure, not just on-chain execution.

Goldman Sachs: How to Invest in Tech Stocks in the Second Half of the Year?

Goldman Sachs remains bullish on tech stocks in the second half of the year, advising a shift from "buying the sector" to "picking individual companies." The firm's latest report indicates the AI-driven tech cycle shows no signs of peaking, with supply exceeding demand or technological progress slowing yet to materialize. Recent pullbacks are viewed as healthy corrections following rapid gains, not a trend reversal. Three core investment themes are highlighted: 1) Maintain overweight positions in AI server and data center-related hardware stocks. 2) Conduct more nuanced risk-reward assessments in sub-sectors where supply and demand are tightening. 3) During periods of declining risk appetite, consider software and IT services companies leveraging AI to create new business opportunities as a defensive play. The report emphasizes that future outperformance will depend more on individual company competitiveness (alpha) rather than broad sector momentum (beta). Companies likely to excel are those benefiting from price increases, possessing strong capacity expansion capabilities, having undervalued AI growth potential, or holding unique catalysts. For defense, Goldman suggests focusing on AI-enabling software and service firms—such as those in AI consulting, data infrastructure, and cybersecurity—which may see efficiency gains and new demand, rather than retreating to traditional defensive sectors. Overall, the strategy balances offensive exposure to AI infrastructure with defensive positioning in AI-applicable software and services.

Wall Street's Take on the June Fed Meeting Minutes: Focus on Core Inflation, No Short-Term Urgency to Hike Rates

Wall Street's View on Fed June Minutes: Inflation is the Key, No Urgency for Near-Term Hike The minutes of the Federal Reserve's June FOMC meeting revealed a unified Wall Street interpretation: inflation remains the true determinant for future policy moves. Major institutions including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup concluded that the Fed remains data-dependent, with its path hinging on upcoming inflation data. Key takeaways from the minutes: * **No Immediate Tightening**: Despite "a few" participants seeing reasons to hike, none actively advocated for it at the June meeting. The consensus was to hold the federal funds rate steady at 3.5%-3.75%. * **Inflation as the Decisive Factor**: The Fed outlined two primary scenarios. If inflation declines "soon" toward the 2% target, "almost all" officials would support maintaining or eventually cutting rates. If inflation persists high due to factors like AI demand or supply shocks, "almost all" would see some policy tightening as necessary. * **Patience is Warranted**: Officials noted inflation remains above target but cited anchored inflation expectations and a labor market not currently driving price pressures as reasons for patience. The Fed is focused on the *direction* of inflation over the next few months. * **No Policy Framework Shift**: The minutes reaffirmed a data-dependent approach rather than a fundamental shift toward pre-emptive tightening. Institutional Forecasts: * **Morgan Stanley**: Expects rates on hold in 2026, with potential cuts in 2027 if inflation cools. * **Goldman Sachs**: Baseline scenario sees rates unchanged through 2026, with inflation moderating gradually. * **Citigroup**: Takes a more dovish view, suggesting market pricing for a July hike is too aggressive and forecasting potential rate cuts starting in late 2026. Overall, the minutes were perceived as marginally dovish, emphasizing a watchful stance on inflation data with no near-term urgency to hike.

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. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021.

Investment Landscape and Funding History The investment landscape surrounding Ondo Finance reflects significant institutional confidence in its mission to tokenise real-world assets. The company has raised substantial funds through various investment rounds, attracting leading venture capital firms and strategic investors that recognise the transformative potential of tokenised securities like CRMON. Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms. This funding success validates Ondo Finance's innovative approach to creating compliant, institutional-grade tokenised products. In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. 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.
