Origami has launched hOHM, powered by Olympus' Cooler V2 infrastructure.​ Key features:

  • Automated leverage using treasury-backed credit
  • Oracle-free, fixed-rate borrowing at 0.​5% APR
  • No liquidations or manual rebalancing required

First week performance:

  • $32M Total Value Locked
  • 2.​34x effective exposure
  • 523K in protocol-native buying power

The system automatically maximizes USDS borrowing and sweeps hOHM to increase gOHM exposure, all with reduced transaction overhead.​ Built on Olympus' permissionless infrastructure, this launch demonstrates new possibilities for DAOs and developers to create treasury-powered financial products.​

🏛️ Olympus DAO Explores Real-World Assets for Treasury Backing

Olympus DAO has published a new Request for Comment (RFC) proposing a framework to evaluate **tokenized real-world income assets** as a potential category for treasury backing. The proposal introduces criteria for assessing RWA investments that could diversify the protocol's treasury beyond traditional crypto assets. Active discussion is taking place in the community's Discord channel as members weigh the benefits and risks. This comes as tokenized RWAs reached $36B in 2025, though questions remain about infrastructure maturity and cross-chain compliance challenges. The framework aims to establish clear evaluation standards before any treasury allocation decisions. [View the full RFC](link)
