Abstract

Ngày 17/8, Công ty AI danh tiếng SenseTime bất ngờ công bố "cảnh báo lợi nhuận tích cực", dự kiến lần đầu tiên đạt lợi nhuận hợp nhất vào nửa đầu năm 2026. Đây là tín hiệu đáng chú ý sau một thời gian dài gặp khó khăn. Từng là "ngôi sao sáng" trong nhóm "Tứ đại Long AI" Trung Quốc với định giá đỉnh điểm hơn 300 tỷ HKD, SenseTime đã trải qua giai đoạn đen tối: giá cổ phiếu giảm hơn 80%, bị Mỹ trừng phạt, mất đi người sáng lập, bị công ty nghiên cứu làm giảm giá và cắt giảm gần 60% nhân sự. Nguyên nhân chính được cho là công ty đã bỏ lỡ bước chuyển từ AI 1.0 (thị giác máy tính, nhận diện) sang AI 2.0 (AI sinh, sáng tạo) do ChatGPT dẫn dắt, trong khi mảng kinh doanh thành phố thông minh - nguồn thu chủ lực trước đây - bị thu hẹp. Để tái sinh, SenseTime đang thực hiện chuyển đổi mạnh mẽ sang AI sinh. Năm 2025, doanh thu từ mảng này chiếm 72.4% tổng doanh thu, thay thế cho mô hình kinh doanh dự án "một lần" trước đây bằng mô hình cung cấp mô hình lớn có tính lặp lại và khả năng mở rộng. Công ty cũng tối ưu hiệu quả huấn luyện và kiểm soát chi phí. Tuy nhiên, thách thức lớn hơn vẫn ở phía trước. Cuộc đua AI hiện nay là cuộc đua của hệ sinh thái (nền tảng, người dùng, dữ liệu, ứng dụng), nơi các gã khổng lồ công nghệ như Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, Tencent chiếm ưu thế. Câu hỏi then chốt cho SenseTime và các công ty AI độc lập khác là liệu họ có thể xây dựng được hào rào cạnh tranh bền vững chỉ dựa trên năng lực mô hình và triển khai ngành, trong một thế giới bị thống trị bởi các...

Vào ngày 17/8, công ty AI từng là ngôi sao lâu đời SenseTime đã có một bùng nổ mạnh mẽ hiếm hoi, giá cổ phiếu đã tăng vọt hơn 13% trong phiên, tính đến thời điểm đưa tin tăng hơn 8%, tổng vốn hóa thị trường phục hồi lên khoảng 646 tỷ HKD. Nguyên nhân dẫn đến cơn sốt vốn này là một “cảnh báo lợi nhuận tích cực” mà SenseTime công bố vào tối ngày 16 - công ty dự kiến sẽ thành công chuyển lỗ thành lãi trong nửa đầu năm 2026, đây cũng là lần đầu tiên SenseTime đạt được lợi nhuận hợp nhất kể từ khi niêm yết trên Sở Giao dịch Chứng khoán Hồng Kông vào năm 2022.

Tuy nhiên, trong khi thị trường hoan hô cho bước ngoặt lịch sử này, vẫn tồn tại một khoảng cách lớn giữa giá cổ phiếu hiện tại của SenseTime và thời kỳ đỉnh cao. Nhìn lại cuối năm 2021 đến đầu năm 2022, ngay sau khi lên sàn, SenseTime từng được giới đầu tư săn đón, giá cổ phiếu cao nhất từng chạm ngưỡng 9,70 HKD/cổ phiếu, tổng vốn hóa thị trường từng vượt qua 2.700 tỷ HKD. Nhưng hiện nay, ngay cả sau một ngày tăng mạnh, giá cổ phiếu của nó vẫn chỉ quanh quẩn ở mức 1,53 HKD, vốn hóa thị trường đã giảm hơn 80% so với thời kỳ đỉnh cao.

Từ việc là cái tên được săn đón nhất trong thời đại “Tứ đại long AI” cho đến thời khắc tăm tối nhất khi hứng chịu nhiều cơn bão, vị vương giả từng đứng trên đỉnh gió này đang cố gắng tái đuổi kịp thời đại thông qua việc chuyển đổi toàn diện sang AI tạo sinh.

Trong thời điểm AI nóng nhất, tại sao họ lại tụt lại phía sau?

Vào năm 2018, nếu bạn hỏi một người trong giới công nghệ: AI Trung Quốc công ty nào mạnh?

SenseTime rất có thể sẽ có trong câu trả lời.

Quả thật, trong những năm đó, SenseTime là một ngôi sao đỉnh cao thực sự. Nhận diện khuôn mặt, thành phố thông minh, xe tự lái, hầu hết các lĩnh vực nóng hổi liên quan đến AI, đều có thể thấy bóng dáng của họ. Cùng với ba công ty khác là Megvii, Yitu và CloudWalk, họ được mệnh danh là “Tứ đại long AI”, là nhân vật thường xuyên xuất hiện trên các trang công nghệ, vòng gọi vốn liên tục, định giá tăng vọt. SenseTime lúc đó, giống như học sinh xuất sắc luôn đứng đầu lớp, ai cũng nghĩ tương lai của họ rất rộng mở.

Tuy nhiên, khi thời gian nhanh chóng đến năm 2023, bức tranh đột ngột thay đổi.

Khi ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini làm bùng nổ toàn cầu, khi AI trở thành khái niệm nóng nhất trên thị trường vốn, khi OpenAI, Anthropic trở thành tâm điểm của giới công nghệ, SenseTime lại dần biến mất khỏi tầm mắt của công chúng.

Tại sao lại như vậy? Câu trả lời có thể rất tàn khốc: SenseTime nắm bắt được AI 1.0, nhưng đã bỏ lỡ AI 2.0.

Để hiểu điều này, trước tiên phải hiểu rõ AI của hai thời đại này, cuối cùng có gì khác biệt?

Thời đại mà SenseTime khởi nghiệp, AI chủ yếu làm công việc “nhận diện” - đưa cho nó một khuôn mặt, nó sẽ nói bạn là ai; đưa cho nó một bức ảnh ngã tư, nó sẽ đánh dấu chiếc xe nào vượt đèn đỏ; đưa cho nó một đoạn video giám sát, nó sẽ đếm có bao nhiêu người đi qua.

Loại công nghệ này có một thuật ngữ chuyên môn gọi là thị giác máy tính, nói đơn giản là dạy máy móc nhìn thế giới. SenseTime đã đạt đến đỉnh cao trong lĩnh vực này, kiếm bộn tiền nhờ cung cấp giải pháp nhận diện khuôn mặt, giải pháp thành phố thông minh cho doanh nghiệp.

Nhưng sự xuất hiện đột ngột của ChatGPT đã trực tiếp thay đổi một bộ quy tắc trò chơi. Thế hệ AI mới không còn hài lòng với việc nhìn hiểu, mà bắt đầu sáng tạo, viết bài, làm video, thậm chí còn có thể viết mã.

Điều này giống như SenseTime đã luyện mười năm quyền pháp nhận diện, vừa luyện thành số một thiên hạ, thì trên giang hồ đột nhiên thịnh hành kiếm pháp tạo sinh, và mọi người đều đang luyện. Võ công trước đây không phải là vô dụng, nhưng thực sự không còn là chủ đạo nữa.

Nếu chỉ là tụt lại phía sau về đường hướng công nghệ, SenseTime chưa chắc đã không có cơ hội lật ngược tình thế. Điều chí mạng thực sự là, từ năm 2019 đến năm 2023, tin xấu như hẹn trước, lần lượt ập đến.

Đầu tiên là từ năm 2019, Mỹ đưa SenseTime vào danh sách trừng phạt. Tiếp đó cuối năm 2022, ChatGPT xuất hiện đột ngột, mô hình công nghệ của toàn ngành bị đảo lộn. Lĩnh vực thị giác máy tính mà SenseTime dựa vào để sinh tồn, đột nhiên từ hướng đi tương lai, trở thành nghiệp vụ truyền thống, trong khi bố cục của họ trên mô hình lớn lại chậm nửa bước.

Hoạn nạn chồng chất hoạn nạn. Nghiệp vụ bò sữa từng là nguồn tiền mặt, kinh doanh thành phố thông minh cũng bắt đầu co hẹp, tăng trưởng doanh thu mất đà.

Năm 2023 càng là “thời khắc tăm tối nhất” của SenseTime. Năm này, người sáng lập Tang Xiao'ou qua đời, trong ngành ai cũng tiếc thương, đây là một đòn nặng nề đối với tinh thần nội bộ công ty và niềm tin của thị trường vốn; gần như đồng thời, tổ chức bán khống Grizzly Research công bố báo cáo nghi ngờ SenseTime, giá cổ phiếu càng thêm lao dốc.

Một loạt đòn giáng xuống, con số thương tâm: Năm 2021, nghiệp vụ thành phố thông minh chiếm 45,6% tổng doanh thu của SenseTime; đến năm 2022, tỷ lệ này giảm xuống còn 28,8%; năm 2023 tiếp tục giảm xuống còn khoảng 12%. SenseTime thậm chí chủ động giảm sự phụ thuộc vào nghiệp vụ thành phố thông minh.

Đồng thời, vốn hóa thị trường cũng từ khoảng 3.000 tỷ HKD thời kỳ đỉnh cao, giảm xuống chỉ còn vài trăm tỷ HKD; số lượng nhân viên từ 6.114 người cắt giảm mạnh xuống còn 2.472 người, trong ba năm rưỡi giảm gần 60% nhân sự, tương đương cứ mười người thì sáu người ra đi.

Hầu hết mọi cuộc khủng hoảng có thể nghĩ đến, đều xảy ra trong vài năm qua.

Không bằng nói đây là một câu chuyện tụt lại phía sau, mà là câu chuyện về một công ty AI ngôi sao, tại khúc cua của thời đại, bị nhiều cơn bão đồng thời đánh trúng.

Công ty từng kiếm tiền nhờ “quét mặt” đó, liệu còn có thể lật ngược tình thế?

Nếu bạn cho rằng SenseTime từ đây hoàn toàn biến mất, sẽ không bao giờ xuất hiện nữa, thì có thể đã bỏ qua một sự thật rất thú vị: SenseTime đã chuyển đổi từ một công ty làm nhận diện khuôn mặt, thành một doanh nghiệp công nghệ với hai bánh xe dẫn động là AI tạo sinh và AI thị giác.

Nói thẳng ra: SenseTime chủ động “giết chết” chính mình trong quá khứ.

Nhìn từ báo cáo kết quả kinh doanh mới nhất, việc chuyển đổi đã bắt đầu có hiệu quả ban đầu: Nửa đầu năm 2026, dự kiến ghi nhận lợi nhuận trong kỳ khoảng 5~7 tỷ NDT, trong khi cùng kỳ năm ngoái lỗ khoảng 14,89 tỷ NDT; lỗ ròng giảm 60%~70% so với cùng kỳ năm ngoái.

Đáng chú ý là, SenseTime trong thông báo đã đề cập rõ ràng: “Đây sẽ là lần đầu tiên kể từ khi lên sàn, công ty đạt được lợi nhuận hợp nhất”.

Đây là một tín hiệu rất quan trọng. Bởi vì trong vài năm qua, nghi ngờ lớn nhất của dư luận đối với SenseTime, chính là liệu nó có thực sự kiếm được tiền hay không?

Là một trong những ngôi sao sáng nhất trong ngành công nghiệp AI Trung Quốc, từ năm 2018 đến năm 2021, SenseTime kể một câu chuyện về công nghệ thay đổi thế giới. Lúc đó, mọi người dường như đều thừa nhận: Ai sở hữu thuật toán tiên tiến nhất, ai có nhiều bài báo AI nhất, độ chính xác nhận diện khuôn mặt của ai cao hơn, người đó có khả năng trở thành người chiến thắng của thời đại tiếp theo.

Nhưng sau này mọi người phát hiện, dẫn đầu về công nghệ, cũng không có nghĩa là thành công về mặt thương mại.

Trước đây, nghiệp vụ cốt lõi nhất của SenseTime là thành phố thông minh, thương mại thông minh và đời sống thông minh. Nói thẳng thắn hơn một chút, chính là bán giải pháp trí tuệ nhân tạo cho địa phương và doanh nghiệp. Ví dụ, cửa ra vào nhận diện khuôn mặt, hệ thống an ninh thành phố, nhận diện giao thông, quản lý khuôn viên, v.v.

Mô hình kinh doanh này có một khiếm khuyết tự nhiên: Dự án làm xong, doanh thu cũng kết thúc. Điều này khiến nó giống một công ty dịch vụ công nghệ hơn, chứ không phải một nền tảng internet.

Một nền tảng internet có thể thông qua người dùng tạo ra doanh thu liên tục, nhưng một doanh nghiệp theo dự án phải liên tục tìm kiếm đơn hàng mới.

Đây cũng là lý do tại sao, trong nhiều năm qua, SenseTime luôn không thoát khỏi tình trạng thua lỗ.

Và sự xuất hiện của AI tạo sinh đã thay đổi tất cả điều này. Trước đây, SenseTime bán dự án; bây giờ, họ đổi thành bán mô hình.

Một bộ mô hình lớn, có thể đồng thời phục vụ nhiều ngành như tài chính, giáo dục, văn phòng, robot, sáng tạo nội dung, v.v. Nó không còn là công việc kinh doanh “giao một lần”, mà giống như một dịch vụ đăng ký bền vững hơn. Ưu thế lớn nhất của mô hình này nằm ở chỗ, về lý thuyết có hiệu ứng quy mô hơn.

Nhìn từ cơ cấu nghiệp vụ, AI tạo sinh đã trở thành động lực tăng trưởng mới của SenseTime. Ví dụ năm 2025, nghiệp vụ AI tạo sinh đạt doanh thu 36,3 tỷ NDT, chiếm tỷ trọng 72,4% tổng doanh thu; nghiệp vụ chủ lực khác là AI thị giác có doanh thu 10,8 tỷ NDT, tỷ trọng cũng là 21,6%.

Nghĩa là, SenseTime từng kiếm tiền nhờ quét mặt đó, nay hơn bảy mươi phần trăm doanh thu đã đến từ mô hình lớn.

Đồng thời, SenseTime cũng bắt đầu chủ động kiểm soát chi phí.

Huấn luyện mô hình lớn, về bản chất là một trò chơi “đốt tiền”. Trong vài năm qua, SenseTime luôn bị dán nhãn “cỗ máy đốt tiền”. Từ thành lập đến lên sàn, đầu tư nghiên cứu phát triển tích lũy vượt quá trăm tỷ NDT, và tình trạng thua lỗ liên tục cũng trở thành vấn đề khiến nhà đầu tư lo lắng nhất.

Nhưng hai năm gần đây, SenseTime đã điều chỉnh chiến lược rõ ràng. Một mặt, họ bắt đầu nhấn mạnh hiệu quả huấn luyện mô hình. Mặt khác, họ cũng nỗ lực giảm sự phụ thuộc vào năng lực tính toán cao cấp, thông qua tối ưu kiến trúc mô hình và thích ứng chip nội địa, để giảm chi phí huấn luyện.

Nhìn từ kết quả kinh doanh, chiến lược này thực sự bắt đầu phát huy tác dụng. Nhưng vấn đề là, có lãi không có nghĩa là đã lật ngược tình thế. Đến đây, nếu hỏi SenseTime đã lật ngược tình thế chưa? E rằng chưa. Bởi vì họ đang phải đối mặt với một vấn đề lớn hơn: Công ty AI độc lập còn có cơ hội không?

Bởi vì cuộc cạnh tranh mô hình lớn hiện nay, về bản chất đã trở thành cuộc chiến của hệ sinh thái.

Hãy nhìn những người chơi đang đứng giữa bàn bài hiện nay: Đằng sau OpenAI có Microsoft, Google sở hữu tìm kiếm, Android và điện toán đám mây, Alibaba sở hữu Alibaba Cloud và hệ sinh thái thương mại điện tử, Tencent sở hữu WeChat, ByteDance sở hữu Douyin... Những công ty này có một đặc điểm chung: Họ không chỉ có mô hình, mà còn có năng lực tính toán, người dùng, lưu lượng truy cập và lối vào ứng dụng.

Mà mô hình, chỉ là một phần trong đó, điều thực sự quyết định thắng bại, là toàn bộ hệ thống sinh thái. Và đây chính xác là điểm yếu nhất của SenseTime.

Thực tế, đây không chỉ là vấn đề SenseTime đối mặt, mà cũng là thách thức chung của tất cả các công ty AI độc lập toàn cầu.

Trước đây, SenseTime cần chứng minh: Công nghệ AI có thể trở thành một công việc kinh doanh không? Còn ngày nay, họ cần chứng minh: Trong thời đại mô hình lớn với các gã khổng lồ vây quanh, một công ty AI không có lối vào siêu lưu lượng, liệu có thể dựa vào năng lực mô hình và năng lực triển khai ngành để xây dựng hào bảo vệ thương mại mới hay không.

Is RWA Still Meaningful Without DeFi?

The article "Would RWA Still Matter Without DeFi?" argues that tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) alone, like putting a barcode on a container, is not transformative. True value emerges when these tokenized assets are integrated into decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems, enabling valuation, financing, hedging, trading, and loss management in a programmable, automated manner. Tokenization provides digital representation, but DeFi provides utility through leverage, liquidity, and composability. The core challenge lies in aligning the different "time clocks" of blockchain (fast, 24/7), traditional markets (limited hours), and asset redemption (slow processes), which creates liquidation risks and gaps. Effective RWA integration requires more than a token; it needs a full stack: legally enforceable rights, reliable data oracles, clear transfer rules, executable secondary liquidity, appropriate collateral parameters, and credible loss resolution paths. Liquidity is defined not by total value locked (TVL) but by the ability to exit a position under stress within a required timeframe. Risk management for RWAs must be modeled as a dependency graph, monitoring interconnected nodes like issuers, custodians, oracles, and liquidity pools for early warning signs beyond just price data. While tokenized government bonds serve as an initial "ping test," the future lies in more complex assets like computing power and energy, which require bespoke risk models. Tokenized stocks paired with perpetual futures present a major test, combining global equity ownership with crypto-native leverage, necessitating robust architectural safeguards like isolation and dynamic collateral rules. The conclusion is that without DeFi, RWA tokenization offers limited value—improving distribution and transparency. The significant opportunity arises when tokenized assets become functional components within open, programmable capital markets, where they can be used as collateral and facilitate complex financial strategies. The token is merely the barcode; the market operating system is the real machine.

Government Intervention in the Bond Market: What Does It Mean?

On August 19, 2026, the U.S. Treasury unexpectedly announced it would at least double the size of its long-term Treasury buyback operations, starting September 9. The move triggered an immediate market reaction, with the 30-year yield falling 9 basis points. This intervention came against a backdrop of the 30-year yield hitting a 19-year high of 5.34% the previous day, driven by persistent inflation, high oil prices, deteriorating U.S. fiscal health with public debt surpassing $40 trillion, and a global "buyers' strike" for long-dated bonds. Treasury buybacks involve the government repurchasing older, less liquid bonds from the market via reverse auctions to improve market functioning, not to reduce overall debt. While the action provided tactical relief and signaled the Treasury's willingness to intervene, analysts caution it does not address core structural issues: massive fiscal deficits, high borrowing needs, and fading demand from traditional buyers like foreign central banks. For investors, the announcement offered short-term support for long-duration bond ETFs and boosted assets like gold, which rose 2.7%. However, it's unlikely to significantly lower mortgage rates or alter the challenging environment for long-term bonds. The key takeaway is the distinction between a tactical market operation and the unresolved structural pressures that continue to push yields higher, requiring close monitoring of upcoming economic data, Treasury auctions, and potential signals of more aggressive policy measures.

After 'Bessent Put', How Far Is the U.S. from Restarting QE?

Following an unscheduled announcement from the U.S. Treasury Department on August 19th, investor discussions have intensified regarding the potential for future policy interventions in long-term bond markets. The Treasury increased the maximum size of its regular buyback operations for 10-to-30 year bonds from $2 billion to $4 billion, citing a desire to improve liquidity. This move came shortly after a surge in long-term yields, with the 30-year Treasury yield briefly touching 5.34%. Market analysts, rather than focusing on the modest operational size, have interpreted the timing—outside the normal quarterly communication window—as a significant signal. The move has been dubbed the "Bessent Put," implying the market's growing expectation that Treasury officials, led by Deputy Secretary Josh Bessent, may act to prevent a disorderly rise in long-term borrowing costs. This perception represents a potential shift in the market's view of the government's "policy reaction function." The underlying pressures on long-term bonds are multifaceted, including large fiscal deficits, increased Treasury supply, a rise in corporate debt issuance for AI infrastructure (creating a "crowding out" effect), and uncertainty around foreign holdings, particularly from Japan. Geopolitical risks in the Middle East further complicate the policy landscape, potentially creating conflicting pressures between fighting inflation and managing financing costs. However, the article clarifies that this Treasury buyback program is distinct from Quantitative Easing (QE). It is a debt management operation, not a Federal Reserve balance sheet expansion. While the announcement opens the door for market speculation about more forceful tools like Yield Curve Control (YCC) or a return to QE, analysts note that conditions would need to deteriorate significantly for such measures to be implemented. For now, the "Bessent Put" reflects a change in market expectations about possible policy boundaries, not an imminent launch of new monetary stimulus.

Is Stablecoin Really Necessary for Cross-border Payments?

"Is Stablecoin Truly Necessary for Cross-Border Payments? While stablecoins are often praised as superior for cross-border transfers—especially if the recipient desires crypto—their advantage is less clear in traditional cross-currency scenarios (e.g., USD to Mexican Peso). The existing correspondent banking system is slow and costly (≈15% fees) due to multiple intermediaries. Modern fintech solutions like Wise have dramatically improved this by using a netting model: they hold local currency pools and settle payments domestically, avoiding actual cross-border fund movement. This offers near-instant transfers with low, transparent fees (averaging ~0.52%). The 'stablecoin sandwich' model (convert fiat to stablecoin, transfer on-chain, convert to local fiat) offers similar user experience but doesn't inherently provide major cost or speed advantages over fintech. Its on-chain transfer is cheap, but fiat conversion spreads remain. Stablecoin's real innovation is 'unbundling' the cross-border payment stack. Instead of requiring a proprietary global network like Wise, businesses only need reliable on- and off-ramps in specific corridors. This lowers market entry barriers, fosters competition among local providers, and can drive down costs, particularly for niche or underserved corridors (e.g., US to Africa). While vertical integration may reoccur, the open, permissionless nature of the underlying blockchain layer makes monopolistic pricing difficult. The long-term benefit is the potential redistribution of value—previously captured as intermediary rents—to consumers through lower costs."

Ethereum Finally 'Bounces Back'! ETH Returns to the Golden Line, What's Different About This Rally?

Ethereum has surged above $2,300, a level not seen in over three months, marking a significant recovery and technical breakthrough by reclaiming key resistance levels, including the weekly EMA50 for the first time in the current bear market. The rally has been fueled by a combination of factors: improved market risk appetite, positive regulatory sentiment, and a major short squeeze where over 88% of recent ETH liquidations were short positions. The ETH/BTC ratio has also broken its long-term downtrend, indicating renewed strength for Ethereum relative to Bitcoin. Fundamentally, Ethereum spot ETFs have shown strong inflows, outperforming their Bitcoin counterparts in recent months. Wall Street institutions like Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan have notably increased their ETH exposure, while several banks have added or expanded positions in ETH ETFs. On-chain fundamentals remain robust, with the proportion of staked ETH reaching a new all-time high of nearly 33.7%. Data indicates long-term holding sentiment, as small wallet holdings increased while large outflows were often directed towards staking or contracts, not selling. However, potential headwinds include declining staking yields and community debate over proposals to adjust staking rewards at high participation levels. The upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade, featuring improvements to validator exit efficiency, could enhance liquidity and further attract institutional stakers. While the rebound is supported by sentiment, capital flows, and fundamentals, its sustainability hinges on continued positive developments.

Further integration with decentralized finance protocols signifies a commitment to empowering $LINON holders through advanced financial strategies. The anticipated expansion of available tokenized assets promises to broaden investor access, enhancing the utility and appeal of the platform. In alignment with ambitions for regulatory expansion, ongoing efforts to secure approvals for new jurisdictions will enhance investor access, further positioning $LINON at the forefront of the burgeoning tokenization market. Conclusion Linde plc Tokenized Stock (Ondo), as represented by the $LINON token, stands at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain innovation. It embodies a transformative milestone in how financial assets are structured, distributed, and engaged within modern investment ecosystems.

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. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development. Justin Schmidt serves as President and COO, contributing unique operational expertise, while Chris Tyrell brings essential compliance knowledge. 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. Timeline and Historical Development of Tokenized Equity Innovation The timeline of CRMON's development and Ondo Finance's broader tokenised capabilities demonstrates a systematic innovation process beginning with the company's founding in 2021. 2021: Ondo Finance is founded by Nathan Allman and co-founders, launching initial products focused on structured vault offerings on the Ethereum blockchain. 2022: The company completes substantial funding rounds—both equity and token sales—totaling significant capital and launching initial tokenised U.S. Treasury products. 2023-2024: Ondo Finance experiences substantial growth, establishing partnerships with major financial institutions while expanding its product offerings beyond fixed-income securities.

Furthermore, Ondo Finance's commitment extends to international regulatory compliance, ensuring token access remains restricted to eligible investors while adhering to pertinent cross-border securities regulations.

Future Prospects and Market Positioning The forward-looking landscape for CRMON and Ondo Finance illustrates substantial growth opportunities driven by institutional adoption of blockchain technology and escalating demand for efficient alternatives to conventional securities ownership.
