.@perena is not impacted by the Binance hack.
Our partners with exposure to Binance de-risked their books on Binance, are positioned for heightened volatility, and are in profit on the day.

Institutions know how to buy yield. The open question is whether on-chain vaults become the way they access it.
Discussing it at DAFNY: Ryan Marcante (SEI), David Siemer (@wavedigital_), Anna Yuan (@gizmothegizzer @perena), Seth Hallem (@Sethhallem @smartstrat) and Alexis Jonhson (@PulchraMens @LightNodeVent).
Join them at New York on 13 November:

Before an institution allocates to an onchain asset, it needs to know where that asset will be held.
For most funds and treasuries, self-custody is not an option, so the choice of custodian often comes before the choice of yield.
BitGo is one of the custodians they use most. Founded in 2013, the company pioneered the multi-signature wallet, which became a security standard for digital assets. It holds around $100 billion in assets for institutional clients.
BitGo now supports USD* for deposits, custody and withdrawals.
Funds that already hold assets with BitGo can manage USD* from the same wallets, under the same controls they use for the rest of their portfolio.
Last week in macro👀
What moved in rates and stablecoin regulation.
1️⃣ 94 of 100 economists in a Reuters poll expect the Fed to hold rates at 3.75%–4.00% on Wednesday. Almost all of them see a hike in December.
2️⃣ Long rates eased. The 10-year went from 5.15% on Monday to 5.00% on Friday. 2-year: 4.69%. 3-month: 4.22%.
3️⃣ The OCC published the first final US stablecoin rule under the GENIUS Act on October 21. It takes effect on January 18, 2027, for domestic and foreign issuers and for banks that hold stablecoin reserves.
4️⃣ JPM Coin is now live on Ethereum mainnet, next to Base. Institutional clients only.
5️⃣ HSBC's RedCoin, a Hong Kong dollar stablecoin, started rolling out to more than 3.3 million PayMe users on Friday. HK$80.58 million was in circulation on day one.
Anything we missed this week?
An opportunistic investment firm and early lender in media, renewables and digital assets is bringing its credit experience to Solana.
@forestroadvault has chosen Perena to launch sUSD-FR, its first Solana vault.
Private-market investments can tie up capital for years. A Solana vault turns the investment position into a token that can be transferred and, where supported, traded or pledged as collateral to borrow against it. Investors can put an income-generating position to further use without waiting for the underlying loans to mature. Trading liquidity and borrowing depend on available markets and integrations. Transfers are limited to eligible non-U.S. persons.
For Solana, this brings an established specialty lender and new sources of credit exposure into the ecosystem. For Forest Road, it opens a distribution channel to stablecoin investors.
Perena connects the two.
Explore sUSD-FR, powered by Perena’s Vault as a Service.

A tokenized stock can track the right price and still give you very different rights from the underlying share.
We sat down with @ZKZeroKnowledge and @austincampbell to discuss a simple question: what do you actually own, and how do you get it out?
A token might represent a company share recorded on a blockchain, an interest in securities held by a custodian, or a derivative linked to the stock price. Similar exposure can come with different voting rights, counterparties and recovery arrangements.
Take PAXG, the gold token discussed in the podcast.
The token moves; the bar stays in a London vault. Each token traces back to the serial number of a specific bar. The investment depends on the legal claim connecting the two, the custodian holding the metal and the conditions for redemption.
Self-custody changes part of this. Holding the token in your own wallet can give you greater control over transfers. Access to the underlying asset still depends on its legal and operational arrangements.
For an investor, those details affect valuation. A token that can be converted into the underlying asset has a different exit mechanism from one whose holder depends entirely on finding another buyer.
Consider a hypothetical $100,000 position. A 2% discount when selling costs $2,000, equivalent to six months of simple income at 4% annually. Redemption has its own fees, but it gives the holder an exit that does not depend on finding a buyer.

Last week in macro 👀
What moved in rates and stablecoin regulation last week.
1️⃣ The Fed isn't done tightening. Minutes from the September meeting, released last week, show most participants still expect another rate hike before year-end, if the data allows.
2️⃣ Inflation risks still lean up. Energy prices, geopolitical disruption and heavy AI investment are all keeping pressure on prices.
3️⃣ Short-term yields ticked up. The three-month Treasury went from 4.23% to 4.26% between Thursday and Tuesday. The ten-year barely moved, from 5.22% to 5.21%.
4️⃣ The stablecoin market is a dollar market. The FSB puts it at about $300 billion as of mid-2026, and 99% of it is pegged to the dollar.
5️⃣ Regulators are watching redemptions. In the FSB's view, large withdrawals could spread stress through reserve sales, bank funding and cross-border links.
6️⃣ ESMA is closing the door on non-MiCA stablecoins. Authorised EU providers should stop offering access to them, clear legacy exposure within three months, and keep only limited wind-down services.
An intense week on both sides of the Atlantic.
Don't open the charts, take a one way flight while compounding.

If you’re tokenizing stock:
Are you buying Nvidia?
Are you buying an Nvidia receipt?
Rates stay high, hidden stress builds in private credit, and Solana liquidity thins. Here is how we are repositioning the USD* book.
HYPE has been one of the best performing assets in crypto over the past few years.
It’s the token behind Hyperliquid, the largest onchain perp exchange, and nearly all of the exchange’s fees go into buying it back.
So today, in partnership with @kestrelfi, we’re introducing HYPE*.
A yield-bearing asset that keeps your exposure to the token, with returns accruing into the redemption rate.
New one in the garden, already reaching for the sun.
HYPERLIQUIDDDDD
