$14B in tokenized Treasuries. 37x since 2023.

RWAs gained 4% in April while broader markets bled.

Institutional capital wants onchain yield, even in drawdowns.

Treasuries cap near 5%. The next leg is risk-managed yield above that baseline. That's where rtUSQ sits.

$606M lost to DeFi exploits in April.
$8.4B pulled from Aave.

Two attacks did 95% of it: a bridge drain and pre-signed approval abuse.

rtUSQ runs neither. Off-exchange custody (Ceffu, Copper), delta-neutral, zero drawdown through Oct 10.

Architecture > APY.
❀2
Stablecoin yields sit at 3 to 6% APY across the market in 2026.

Coinbase's CUSHY launch signals where institutional capital wants to play: real credit, not emissions.

rtUSQ was built for that lane.

50+ firms. July pilot. October launch.

DTCC confirmed its tokenized platform schedule on May 4. BlackRock, Goldman, JPMorgan, Circle all onboard.

Treasuries. ETFs. Russell 1000. Same rights, onchain.

That's the infrastructure forming under the RWA market. rtUSQ is built for it.
πŸ‘2
$310B in stablecoins.
Most earning 0%.

BlackRock just filed two tokenized funds to close that gap, both targeting stablecoin holders directly.

Yield belongs with holders, not issuers.

That's been rtUSQ's architecture since day one.
❀1
$125M. Galaxy Digital and Sharplink just announced the first institutional onchain yield fund seeded by a public company's ETH treasury.

Not a thesis anymore.

rtUSQ was built for exactly this: institutional-grade onchain yield, accessible without a nine-figure commitment.
❀1
$11.78B TVL on Morpho. Now the second-largest DeFi lender.

Isolated markets, listing RWA collateral one asset at a time. Aave V4 targets $1B in RWA.

The lending stack is rebuilding on real-yield collateral, not algorithmic risk.

wrtUSQ ships ERC-4626 for exactly that.
❀2
$30B in tokenized RWAs on-chain.
Under 10% is DeFi-active.

JPMorgan's second tokenized Treasury fund validates institutional demand. Most RWA protocols built compliance-first. Assets can't circulate through lending, vaults, or AMMs.

wrtUSQ is ERC-4626 native.
❀3
Of every $12 tokenized RWA onchain, $11 can't move in DeFi.

$30B issued. $2.47B composable.

Bond and MMF products: $16.6B issued, $920M active in DeFi protocols.

wrtUSQ fills this gap. ERC-4626 native, ready for lending, AMMs, and aggregators.
❀3
sUSDe supply: down $1.8B in 90 days.
USYC + sUSDS: up $2.6B, at lower yields.

Institutions aren't chasing APY. Under Basel III, synthetic stablecoins are highest-risk. Risk committees can't hold them.

rtUSQ: real yield, institutional custody, zero drawdown through October.
❀2
$30B in tokenized RWAs on-chain.

$2.47B active in DeFi.

The gap isn't liquidity. It's architecture.

Most sit locked in permissioned wrappers, unable to function as open-market collateral.

wrtUSQ is ERC-4626. Composable across lending, AMMs, and aggregators.

$15B in tokenized Treasuries now onchain.

This month: BlackRock filed for onchain shares of its $7B MMF. JPMorgan launched a second tokenized fund built for stablecoin reserves.

Wall Street is racing to build what rtUSQ already runs.
❀2
Tokenized RWAs crossed $30B onchain.

GENIUS Act prohibits yield on payment stablecoins, so institutions moved up the stack: tokenized Treasuries, credit funds, quant strategies.

rtUSQ sits in that layer. Daily rebase, real yield, no stablecoin wrapper.

Keynote at Cambridge
@gary_yangge
speaks at the 3rd Cambridge China Business Forum 2026, organized by Cambridge Judge Business School. This year's focus: global enterprises, AI, and investment. The future of AI-powered asset management has a seat at this table.
❀2
Citi: tokenized RWAs hit $5.5T by 2030.
Market today: $33B.

Most of that growth has no real yield layer behind it. No quant strategies. No compounding.

That's the gap rtUSQ is built for.
❀2
The CLARITY Act hit the Senate calendar June 1.

7 votes short of passage. July 4 target.

When it clears, institutions won't just want onchain yield. They'll want yield on compliant infrastructure.

rtUSQ: Copper + Ceffu custody, four audits, Circle Alliance membership.
❀4
Idle stablecoins earn 0%.
Tokenized T-bills floor near 4-5%.
Aave/Morpho: 3.5-8%, variable.

rtUSQ runs an active quant strategy above that floor, rebased to holders daily.

The gap is the strategy, not the asset.
