What a whirlwind couple of days at Avalanche Summit. So much of what we’ve been working on behind the scenes came to life this week, and I’m incredibly proud of what this team continues to accomplish. ICYMI, a few highlights from the OnChain Finance world over the past couple of days: • Tether's @usat is coming to the network, with the first @aave RWA Hub set to serve as a key anchor for its launch. Aave Labs’s founder @StaniKulechov has said: “The biggest market that we are planning to build is actually on Avalanche.” Stay tuned for more on this! • @NYSE continues to engage closely with Avalanche as it evaluates infrastructure for its forthcoming tokenized equity ATS. As ICE’s Michael Blaugrund shared at Summit: “Avalanche checks a lot of [the] boxes for us, so we’re very engaged with the team.” • Tare raised $13.25M in seed funding to build its Avalanche-native credit platform connecting asset originators directly with institutional investors through a shared digital ledger, another important step toward bringing credit origination and financing onchain. • @JHIAdvisors continues to deepen its involvement across the ecosystem. The $500B+ asset manager has invested in two Avalanche-based origination and servicing companies, Tare and Tranched, and is working closely with both to help expand access to capital. The firm has also partnered with and invested in @ethena and @centrifuge and is now becoming an Avalanche validator. As Nick Cherney, Head of Innovation at Janus Henderson, put it: “We believe tokenization has the potential to reshape how investments are created, distributed and used across financial markets. […] Becoming a validator on Avalanche allows us to participate directly in the infrastructure supporting this evolution, while working alongside an ecosystem that has been particularly focused on private credit, fund tokenization, asset financing and other institutional use cases that are directly aligned to our strategic vision." • @Paxos has fully integrated Avalanche, bringing the network into infra serving 650+ institutions and supporting 470M+ end users globally. The integration expands institutional access to AVAX and Avalanche-native USDC and creates more ways for FIs and payment providers to build products and move money on the network, including enabling Charles Schwab to offer AVAX exposure and trading to its customers. • @NewYorkLife brought its first tokenized fund to Avalanche. Through Centrifuge, HYB brings NYLIM’s US High Yield Corporate Bond Strategy onchain, giving eligible investors access to an actively managed portfolio of US HY credit. A big thank you to all of our current and prospective partners who joined us on stage, in meetings and throughout the week to share how they're building the future of finance. And an especially huge thank you to my amazing OnChain Finance team @cryptoreine @MattSchmenk @Leandro84D @joeycannoli9 and Mike Manning, as well as our incredible marketing and comms partners who helped bring it all to life and tell the story. Still a lot to build. But a pretty exciting week for Avalanche OnChain Finance. ❤️🔺
