Beyond T-Bills: The Next Phase of RWAs
Beyond T-Bills: The Next Phase of RWAs
🚀 T-bills were just...
Tokenized treasuries were just the beginning. While T-bills proved blockchain infrastructure works, the real institutional transformation requires bringing diversified, yield-bearing assets onchain.
The next wave includes:
- Structured finance products
- Private credit instruments
- Non-correlated asset classes
This evolution addresses DeFi's core challenge: limited collateral options. Moving beyond government securities unlocks new liquidity sources for decentralized finance.
Infrastructure requirements are steep - institutions need robust, compliant platforms that can handle complex financial products. Centrifuge has been building this foundation since 2017.
The market is transitioning from proof-of-concept to scale. Early tokenized assets demonstrated technical feasibility, but institutional adoption demands sophisticated asset management capabilities.
