RIZ v2 Enables On-Chain Gold and T-Bill Collateral for USDC Borrowing
RIZ v2 Enables On-Chain Gold and T-Bill Collateral for USDC Borrowing
💰 Gold Meets DeFi
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.
The rotation is on. TOTAL3 at cycle lows. Gold near all-time highs. T-bills yielding. What if you didn't have to leave crypto for it? XAUt0 and thBILL are live on RIZ v2 — deposit them as collateral, borrow USDC, stay on-chain.
