New Year, New Challenges!

RIZ v2 has launched a new GMX/USDC lending market on Arbitrum. **Key Features:** - Users can deposit GMX tokens as collateral to borrow USDC - USDC depositors earn yield from borrowing activity - GMX is the governance token for [GMX.IO](https://gmx.io), a major perpetual DEX on Arbitrum This follows RIZ v2's recent launch, which reduced market deployment time from weeks to minutes. The platform now supports multiple isolated markets including USDe, RDNT, thBILL, syrupUSDC, sUSDS, and XAUt0 paired with USDC. RIZ v2 operates on Arbitrum with isolated, protected markets designed for scalability.

**RIZ v2 now supports tokenized gold (XAUt0) and T-bills (thBILL) as collateral** Users can now: - Deposit gold-backed tokens and T-bills as collateral - Borrow USDC against these traditional assets - Stay entirely on-chain without leaving crypto infrastructure This development comes as TOTAL3 (total crypto market cap excluding BTC and ETH) sits at cycle lows, while gold approaches all-time highs and T-bills continue yielding returns. The integration allows crypto users to access traditional finance yields without converting back to fiat or leaving blockchain rails.
