Abstract

L'analyse de Bernstein met en lumière les accords d'achat à long terme (LTA) conclus par Micron et SanDisk, représentant un minimum contractuel de revenus d'environ 1420 milliards de dollars et des garanties financières d'environ 330 milliards de dollars. Ces accords, sécurisés par des dépôts de garantie, visent à stabiliser les revenus face aux cycles volatils de la mémoire. Cependant, le rapport souligne que ces garanties, bien que significatives, ne couvriraient qu'environ 0,6% des revenus potentiels du secteur sur 3 à 5 ans (estimés à 5,2 billions de dollars dans leur modèle). Ils agissent donc comme un tampon en cas de baisse modérée des prix, mais ne protègent pas pleinement contre une récession profonde où les clients pourraient trouver plus économique de rompre le contrat malgré les pénalités. De plus, la portée des LTA est limitée. Ils concernent principalement les grands clients cloud américains, sensibles à la stabilité des approvisionnements pour l'IA. Une part importante du marché (30 à 50%), incluant les produits grand public, les PC, les smartphones et certains clients chinois, reste ancrée dans des achats au comptant ou à court terme, perpétuant la cyclicité. En conclusion, ces LTA améliorent la visibilité et adoucissent potentiellement les phases de ralentissement, notamment grâce à des mécanismes de garantie qui deviennent plus contraignants en fin de contrat. Toutefois, ils ne transforment pas l'industrie de la mémoire en service public et ne suppriment ...

Dans son dernier rapport, Bernstein remet sous les projecteurs les accords d'achat à long terme (LTA) dans l'industrie de la mémoire : Micron et SanDisk ont signé une série de nouveaux LTA comprenant des engagements d'achat, des prix planchers et des garanties financières, cherchant ainsi à établir un plancher pour leurs bénéfices futurs.

Ce plancher n'est pas aussi épais qu'il n'y paraît.

Selon les documents publics et les propos tenus lors des conférences téléphoniques de Micron et SanDisk, Micron a signé 16 accords avec des clients stratégiques. Pour 14 d'entre eux, le revenu minimum cumulé calculé sur la base du prix contractuel plancher s'élève à environ 1000 milliards de dollars, avec des dépôts en espèces associés et des engagements financiers d'environ 220 milliards de dollars. SanDisk a déclaré que trois contrats du trimestre en cours représentaient un revenu contractuel minimum d'environ 420 milliards de dollars, et que cinq accords offraient ensemble des garanties financières dépassant 110 milliards de dollars.

Les deux entreprises disposent d'environ 330 milliards de dollars de garanties, ce qui rend effectivement plus coûteux pour les grands clients de rompre un contrat. Cependant, le modèle de Bernstein estime que le volume de revenus susceptible d'avoir besoin d'une protection LTA au cours des 3 à 5 prochaines années avoisine les 5 200 milliards de dollars. Selon cette approche, les garanties existantes ne représentent qu'environ 0,6 % de ce montant.

C'est précisément la divergence que le rapport cherche à exprimer : les LTA modifient la position de négociation des entreprises de mémoire et de leurs grands clients, mais ils agissent davantage comme un coussin amortisseur en période de cycle baissier, et ne transforment pas la DRAM et la NAND en services publics.

Les grands clients liés par des accords à long terme, les garanties commencent à peser réellement

Les LTA ne sont pas complexes. Le client s'engage à l'avance sur des volumes d'achat futurs, et le fournisseur garantit l'approvisionnement et un mécanisme de prix. Si le client n'achète pas, il peut perdre la garantie prépayée ou engager d'autres coûts économiques.

Cette fois, la différence par rapport aux intentions d'achat courantes dans l'industrie de la mémoire réside dans l'intégration structurelle de garanties financières dans les contrats.

Micron a signé 16 accords avec des clients stratégiques échelonnés jusqu'en juin 2026, comprenant 4 très grands clients et 3 clients de taille moyenne. Pour 14 accords, le revenu minimum cumulé calculé sur la base du prix contractuel plancher est d'environ 1000 milliards de dollars, avec des dépôts en espèces attendus et des engagements financiers associés d'environ 220 milliards de dollars. Ce chiffre inclut les accords signés et ceux signés après la clôture du trimestre, et n'est pas strictement équivalent au RPO (obligations contractuelles non exécutées) en fin de période au bilan.

SanDisk a déclaré qu'au 3 avril 2026, son RPO s'élevait à 416 milliards de dollars. Lors de sa conférence téléphonique, la société a également mentionné que trois contrats du trimestre en cours assuraient un revenu contractuel minimum d'environ 420 milliards de dollars, et que cinq accords offraient ensemble plus de 110 milliards de dollars de garanties financières, couvrant plus d'un tiers de l'approvisionnement en bits pour l'exercice FY27.

Les mécanismes des deux entreprises diffèrent. Les garanties de Micron sont davantage pondérées en fin de contrat. Au fur et à mesure de l'avancement du contrat et de la diminution des obligations d'achat restantes du client, la proportion de la garantie par rapport au RPO augmente, rendant la rupture de contrat plus coûteuse en fin de période. SanDisk propose des garanties plus proches d'un montant fixe, qui devraient rester relativement stables pendant la durée du contrat.

16 accords de Micron, RPO ~1000 milliards de dollars, garanties ~220 milliards de dollars ; 5 accords de SanDisk, RPO ~420 milliards de dollars, garanties >110 milliards de dollars.

C'est ce que les partisans optimistes (« bulls ») mettent le plus en avant. Le plus gros problème passé de l'industrie de la mémoire était l'effondrement trop rapide des bénéfices lorsque les prix chutaient. Si les grands clients acceptent de payer des garanties pour un approvisionnement à long terme, les fournisseurs obtiennent au moins un plancher de revenus plus clair, et leurs dépenses en capital et leurs plans de capacité ne sont plus totalement dictés par les prix spot.

330 milliards de dollars de garanties ne sont pas minces, mais ne suffisent pas pour amortir une forte baisse

L'échelle des garanties et celle des revenus à protéger ne sont pas du même ordre.

Bernstein estime, via son modèle, que si les LTA devaient couvrir les revenus potentiels des 3 à 5 prochaines années, le volume de protection requis serait d'environ 5 200 milliards de dollars. Ce chiffre est spécifique au modèle du rapport ; les documents publics des entreprises ne divulguent pas directement un chiffre de revenu similaire pour l'ensemble du secteur, et il faut aussi distinguer entre les revenus totaux de la mémoire, des semi-conducteurs, et les revenus de l'échantillon de fournisseurs.

Néanmoins, un ratio de garantie de 0,6 % indique une chose : les LTA ne peuvent pas protéger les bénéfices dans tous les scénarios de prix.

Si les prix spot ne chutent que modérément, il n'est pas rentable pour le client de rompre. Perdre la garantie, nuire à la relation avec le fournisseur, et risquer de ne pas obtenir de capacité future rare, ces coûts suffisent à maintenir le client dans le contrat. Les clients serveurs IA, fournisseurs de cloud et datacenters ont également un besoin plus fort d'un approvisionnement stable que les clients d'électronique grand public.

Mais si les prix chutent suffisamment profondément, les clients feront toujours leur calcul économique. Si le volume d'achat restant est important et que le prix spot est significativement inférieur au prix plancher contractuel, le client pourrait trouver plus économique d'acheter sur le marché, même en perdant sa garantie.

Le mécanisme de pondération en fin de contrat peut atténuer ce problème. Plus on avance dans le contrat, plus le RPO restant diminue et la proportion de la garantie par rapport à l'obligation restante augmente, ce qui alourdit le coût de rupture pour le client. La protection pourrait être plus forte en fin de contrat, période où le cycle de la mémoire en a souvent le plus besoin.

Ce n'est toujours pas une assurance inconditionnelle. La force de protection des LTA dépend de trois chiffres : jusqu'où chutent les prix spot, combien il reste d'obligations d'achat au client, et quel est le solde de la garantie.

Le RPO diminue avec le temps, le ratio Garantie/RPO augmente ; si le prix moyen pondéré (ASP) spot chute trop profondément en dessous du prix plancher contractuel, le client peut toujours choisir de rompre.

C'est aussi le cœur du débat entre optimistes (« bulls ») et pessimistes (« bears »). Les optimistes voient que les entreprises de mémoire obtiennent enfin des engagements à long terme en argent sonnant et trébuchant de la part de leurs clients. Les pessimistes craignent que cette ampleur d'engagement soit encore insuffisante pour protéger les bénéfices de pointe, et que lors d'un cycle baissier suffisamment profond, les clients agiront toujours selon la logique des coûts.

Pas toute la demande en mémoire ne veut être liée par des LTA

Les LTA ont aussi une limite pratique : tous les clients ne sont pas aptes à signer des accords à long terme.

Les fournisseurs de services cloud américains (CSP) sont les candidats idéaux. Leur demande est importante, leur crédit solide, ils sont sensibles à la stabilité de l'approvisionnement pour l'infrastructure IA et sont plus motivés à sécuriser leur approvisionnement via des accords à long terme. Micron a essentiellement terminé ses négociations avec les CSP américains et poursuit celles avec les CSP chinois, les entreprises et certains autres clients.

Le secteur de la consommation est différent. Le directeur financier de SanDisk a déclaré que le secteur grand public était « plus transactionnel » et que les LTA « ne s'appliquent pas ». Le marché des téléphones, PC et du stockage grand public a davantage l'habitude d'acheter en fonction des prix et des cycles d'inventaire. En cas de baisse des prix, les clients souhaitent naturellement conserver de la flexibilité plutôt que d'être liés par des prix planchers sur plusieurs années.

Les clients chinois ne seront pas non plus nécessairement des acheteurs stables pour les LTA. D'une part, les fournisseurs de cloud et les clients finaux chinois pourraient préférer les fournisseurs locaux. D'autre part, l'expansion de l'offre locale de DRAM et NAND ajoute de l'incertitude aux engagements d'achat à long terme.

Bernstein estime qu'environ 30 % à 50 % du marché final de la DRAM et de la NAND pourraient être difficiles à couvrir par des LTA. Même si les principaux fournisseurs parviennent à verrouiller les grands clients américains, une part substantielle du marché continuera à fonctionner selon les prix spot, les commandes à court terme et les anticipations cycliques.

La segmentation du marché final DRAM/NAND montre qu'au-delà des CSP américains, il existe une demande des CSP chinois, des serveurs d'entreprise, du secteur grand public/PC, des smartphones, etc. Environ 30 à 50 % du marché pourrait être difficile à couvrir par les LTA.

Tant qu'une proportion suffisamment importante de la demande reste dans le système spot ou à court terme, le signal des prix ne disparaîtra pas. Et tant que ce signal des prix existe, l'expansion des capacités des fournisseurs, la réduction des stocks des clients et les annulations de commandes dans les canaux continueront d'amplifier la volatilité cyclique.

La demande IA soutient la valorisation, mais les bénéfices de pointe ne peuvent être simplement extrapolés

Le marché est prêt à accorder une valorisation plus élevée aux entreprises de mémoire, un contexte dans lequel la demande IA modifie la forme du creux de ce cycle.

Du côté de la DRAM, la demande en HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) reste forte. L'équipe Asie de Bernstein prévoit que les prix du HBM en 2027 pourraient être 2 à 2,5 fois supérieurs à ceux de 2026. Les prix commerciaux de la DRAM conventionnelle ont déjà fortement augmenté et pourraient rester élevés au cours des 12 prochains mois. Bien que le HBM soit plus stable que la mémoire standard, il partage une partie des capacités de production avec la DRAM classique, et l'allocation des capacités affecte les autres gammes de produits.

Du côté de la NAND, l'inférence IA et les fenêtres de contexte plus longues ouvrent également de nouvelles perspectives de demande. Les premières phases d'entraînement de l'IA consommaient principalement du HBM et de la DRAM, mais avec l'augmentation de l'inférence, de l'IA agentique et des applications à contexte long, la demande en stockage pourrait continuer à augmenter. Il est à noter que la formulation concernant la capacité liée à Vera Rubin ne doit pas être simplement écrite comme « la capacité NAND du GPU » ; la page officielle de Nvidia mentionne « 20,7 TB HBM4 GPU memory ».

Dans cet environnement, la valeur des LTA ressemble davantage à la fixation d'une partie des revenus générés par la forte conjoncture. Si la demande IA reste robuste, les fournisseurs peuvent verrouiller une partie des achats des grands clients via des accords à long terme. Si les prix baissent, les garanties et les prix planchers peuvent ralentir le déclin des bénéfices.

Le test de résistance de SanDisk pointe vers une conclusion similaire. Le modèle de Bernstein montre que, même avec des hypothèses sévères, les LTA pourraient maintenir le BPA (EPS) des exercices FY29-FY30 au-dessus des scénarios sans LTA dans la plupart des cas de taux de pénétration, avec une protection particulièrement plus forte en fin de période. Mais ce même test de résistance montre aussi que les bénéfices de pointe ne peuvent être simplement extrapolés. Dans des scénarios de marge opérationnelle plus faible, le BPA pourrait être nettement inférieur aux niveaux actuels.

Le tableau de sensibilité du BPA de SanDisk pour FY29-FY30 montre une large plage de BPA selon différents scénarios de prix moyen pondéré (ASP) et de taux de pénétration des LTA. Les LTA améliorent les scénarios de baisse mais ne peuvent verrouiller les bénéfices de pointe.

Le jugement le plus important à retenir de ce rapport n'est pas « la fin du cycle de la mémoire », mais « l'atténuation possible du ralentissement du cycle ».

Le fait que Micron et SanDisk obtiennent des accords à long terme et des garanties financières montre que les grands clients sont prêts à payer pour la certitude d'approvisionnement à l'ère de l'IA. Pour les entreprises de mémoire, cela augmente la visibilité sur leurs revenus futurs et rend le marché financier plus enclin à croire que le plancher de bénéfices est plus élevé que par le passé.

Les limites sont tout aussi claires. Les 330 milliards de dollars de garanties ne peuvent offrir qu'un amortissement localisé ; les clients grand public, chinois et une partie de la demande transactionnelle n'entreront pas tous dans des accords à long terme. Bernstein estime également que la part chinoise dans la DRAM pourrait passer d'environ 8 % à 16 % dans les prochaines années, et que la NAND pourrait faire face à une pression d'offre plus forte après 2028.

Ce que les LTA doivent véritablement démontrer, ce n'est pas s'ils peuvent être signés en période de hausse, mais si, lors du prochain cycle baissier, les clients honoreront leurs engagements, si les garanties seront suffisamment dissuasives, et si les fournisseurs maintiendront leur discipline en matière de capacités. Avant que ces questions ne soient résolues, ils constituent un nouveau coussin amortisseur pour l'industrie de la mémoire, pas un bouton d'arrêt du cycle.

QQuels sont les principaux accords d'achat à long terme (LTA) signés par Micron et SanDisk, et quels sont leurs valeurs financières respectives ?

ASelon l'article, Micron a signé 16 accords avec des clients stratégiques, dont 14 comportent un revenu minimum cumulé d'environ 1000 milliards de dollars et des garanties financières (dépôts de garantie, engagements) d'environ 220 milliards de dollars. SanDisk a signé 5 accords, avec des revenus contractuels minimums d'environ 420 milliards de dollars et des garanties financières dépassant 110 milliards de dollars. Ensemble, les garanties s'élèvent à environ 330 milliards de dollars.

QPourquoi les LTA actuels ne peuvent-ils pas totalement protéger les fabricants de mémoire contre un cycle baissier profond ?

ALes garanties financières des LTA (environ 330 milliards de dollars pour Micron et SanDisk) ne représentent qu'environ 0,6% du montant estimé de 5,2 billions de dollars de revenus qu'elles devraient couvrir sur 3 à 5 ans, selon le modèle de Bernstein. En cas de baisse suffisamment forte des prix spot, les clients pourraient trouver plus économique de rompre le contrat et d'acheter sur le marché spot, même en perdant leur garantie, surtout si leurs obligations d'achat restantes sont importantes.

QQuels types de clients sont les plus susceptibles de signer des LTA, et lesquels sont plus réticents ?

ALes clients les plus enclins à signer des LTA sont les grands fournisseurs de services cloud américains (CSP). Ils ont un besoin important, une solide crédibilité et sont très sensibles à la stabilité de l'approvisionnement pour leurs infrastructures d'IA. En revanche, les activités grand public (téléphones, PC, stockage) sont décrites comme plus « transactionnelles » et moins adaptées aux LTA, les clients préférant la flexibilité. Les clients chinois pourraient également être moins stables en raison de leur préférence pour les fournisseurs locaux et de l'expansion de la production locale.

QComment la demande en IA influence-t-elle la dynamique du cycle des mémoires et la valeur des LTA ?

ALa forte demande en mémoire HBM pour l'IA soutient les prix du DRAM et offre un plancher plus élevé à ce cycle. Dans ce contexte, les LTA permettent aux fournisseurs de verrouiller une partie des achats de leurs grands clients. Cependant, l'article souligne que les bénéfices de pointe de ce cycle de hausse ne peuvent pas être simplement extrapolés. Les LTA aident à fixer certains revenus et à amortir une éventuelle baisse, mais ils ne suppriment pas le cycle, d'autant que l'allocation de capacité pour le HBM peut impacter d'autres lignes de produits.

QQuel est le jugement principal de l'article de Bernstein sur l'impact des LTA sur le cycle des mémoires ?

ALe jugement principal de Bernstein est que les LTA, avec leurs garanties financières, ne mettent pas fin au cycle traditionnel de l'industrie de la mémoire. Ils représentent plutôt un « nouveau tampon » ou un « coussin de sécurité » qui peut adoucir la phase baissière du cycle en offrant une meilleure visibilité des revenus et un plancher de rentabilité plus élevé. Le véritable test sera de voir si les clients respecteront ces contrats et si les garanties seront suffisamment dissuasives lors du prochain ralentissement majeur.

2026 Mid-Year Report On-Chain RWA: Tokenized Stock Market Cap Doubles in a Year, But 90% of Rights Are Hollow Shells

The 2026 Mid-Year Report on On-Chain RWA highlights a significant growth in tokenized stock market capitalization, which nearly doubled from $951 million in March to $1.89 billion by July. However, the report reveals a fundamental contradiction in this "layer 2.5" ecosystem: products with the strongest legal foundation (like regulated U.S. infrastructure) lack liquidity and distribution, while freely tradable offshored wrapper products often lack substantive ownership rights. The increase is driven largely by a few products (SECZ, FGRS, STRCx) and platforms (Ondo, xStocks, Securitize collectively hold over 85% share). While distributed value across networks like Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain has grown, the market remains fragmented. Products referencing the same underlying asset (e.g., Apple stock) are distinct legal liabilities with different intermediaries and jurisdictional rules, offering varying degrees of legal claim. The report cautions that headline numbers are misleading, as they reflect changes in distributed token value—driven by issuance, conversions, and price movements—not pure investor inflows. True "canonical shares" with legal ownership, wide wallet distribution, institutional liquidity, and independent on-chain price discovery do not yet exist at scale. Tokenized treasuries show stronger product-market fit, and ETFs may be easier to scale than single stocks. The core takeaway is a trade-off: legal certainty versus liquidity and composability.

Attention, Bitcoin Users! Today's Hack May Be Larger Than You Think. Here's What to Do

Bitcoin users are urged to take immediate action following the disclosure of a critical security vulnerability. Hardware wallet manufacturer Coinkite has revealed a flaw in the seed phrase generation process for certain Coldcard Mk3 devices running firmware versions 4.0.1 through 5.0.3. All bitcoin addresses created from seed phrases generated on these potentially affected devices are now considered at risk. This warning coincides with an ongoing investigation into a major hack that drained approximately 1,082.65 BTC (worth roughly $70.2 million at the time) from 1,196 single-signature wallets in just 41 minutes on July 30. Security analysts believe the coordinated thefts, which used identical transaction fees and left no change, were executed by an automated tool scanning for compromised private keys. Notably, this attack occurred about 30 hours before Coinkite's public disclosure of the Coldcard vulnerability, raising concerns of a possible connection. Experts strongly recommend that impacted Coldcard Mk3 users do not consider their old seed phrase safe. The advised course of action is to generate a completely new, secure seed phrase on a trusted, modern hardware wallet and then transfer all funds to addresses derived from this new seed. Simply moving the old, potentially compromised seed to a new device is not sufficient.

Bitcoin in August: Experts Expect Range Testing, Not a Quick Reversal

Experts anticipate Bitcoin will remain under pressure in August, lacking momentum for a sustained rally after a partial July recovery. The price, trading around $63.5k, is seen stuck in a $60-65k range. Analysts cite a challenging macro environment of high U.S. rates, persistent inflation, and a strong dollar as key headwinds, alongside record ETF outflows. Historically, August is a weak month for crypto. Experts outline three main scenarios: a base case of sideways movement between $58-68k (50% probability), a bearish drop to $50-55k (30%), or a bullish push toward $71-75k (20%). Key levels to watch are support at $60-61k and resistance at $67k. While some see current prices as attractive for long-term accumulation, most warn of potential short-term downside, with a retest of $60k or even a fall toward $53k possible. A decisive market turnaround is not expected before Q4, making August a month for testing key levels rather than a major breakout.

Coldcard Hardware Wallet Hacked: 594 Bitcoin Withdrawn in 25 Minutes

The Coldcard hardware wallet has been compromised, with hackers stealing approximately 594.5 Bitcoin (~$40 million) from 500 addresses in just 25 minutes. The root cause was a critical software bug, undetected for five years, which disabled the device's secure chip for generating true random numbers. This led to the creation of private keys based on predictable data like the processor's serial number, drastically reducing cryptographic security. The attackers exploited this offline by brute-forcing possible seed phrases, finding active addresses on the public ledger, and signing transactions. Initially, Coinkite (Coldcard's maker) claimed only older models were at risk but later admitted all devices running the compromised firmware were vulnerable. CEO Rodolphe Novak (NVK) apologized but ruled out financial compensation for affected users. To secure funds, owners must urgently update their firmware to specific safe versions, generate a completely new seed phrase on the updated device, and transfer all assets to new addresses created with that new seed. While a BIP-39 passphrase can help, it does not replace this migration process. Other Coinkite products like TAPSIGNER were not affected. This incident underscores that even specialized hardware requires rigorous, independent code audits, especially for cryptographic functions. It parallels past failures, like a 2006 OpenSSL bug in Debian, and raises questions about whether automated code analysis can ever fully replace human scrutiny in critical security areas.

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

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.
