Zan Arslan (@vaziliaz), Co-Founder & CTO, @HelixAssets, sized up how early the RWA market really is.
$32 billion out of $500 trillion. We haven't even started.

We are extremely honoured to be part of Starknet's Proof of Privacy Accelerator program to bring privacy to institutional grade cross-chain liquid staking.
Replying to @StarknetFndn
Helix Assets: @HelixAssets
Institutional-grade private liquid staking.
Built on Starknetās proving stack, STRK20 keeps positions private while keyless ZK proofs verify they meet compliance requirements, minimum thresholds and mandate limits.
Today we're opening up the DoorDash CLI in limited beta.
`dd-cli` lets you order DoorDash directly from your agent: search stores, find the best deals, check out, and more.
Early access for US/Canadian macOS developers by waitlist. Excited to see what folks build!

RWAs are quietly becoming one of the biggest shifts in global finance.
What started as a crypto experiment is now being embraced by major institutions, from on-chain markets to blockchain-based settlement. But as tokenization goes mainstream, the real questions begin.
Who builds the infrastructure? Which networks capture the liquidity? And can Web3 actually create a more open financial system for everyone?
These are the questions we'll be exploring live.

Most DeFi users are not unproductive because they lack ambition.
They are unproductive because the infrastructure forces them to choose.
Stay staked and earn native yield. Or unstake, bridge, wrap, deploy, and hope the APY justifies the friction.
That is not a DeFi problem. That is a liquidity coordination problem.
Helix Dashboard changes the math.
Track your staked positions across ICP, Cardano, BNB, and HyperEVM in one unified view. Earn staking rewards plus EigenFi restaking rewards on top. Optimize your yield allocation without bridging a single asset or exiting a single position.
Your capital stays exactly where it is. It just starts working harder.
Productive DeFi does not mean moving constantly. It means your liquidity moves for you.
Institutional DeFi is not waiting on one more AMM or money market.
Itās waiting on credible infrastructure that lets large, regulated capital plug into onchain systems without breaking their own constraints.
For strategic token holders, that constraint set is clear:
ā Donāt unwind governance
ā Donāt nuke the price with forced selling
ā Donāt take opaque smartācontract risk just to chase yield
But capital still needs to move.
Our view at Helix Labs is that āproductive stakingā becomes the bridge.
Native staking ā liquid staking ā restaking ā crossāchain deployment should feel like one coherent path with clear risk surfaces, not a patchwork of bridges, wrappers, and custody compromises.
Thatās what weāre building toward with Vault, UniRollup, and OmniVM:
A liquidity coordination layer that institutions can actually underwrite, instead of ātrusting the vibe.ā
Most DeFi conversations start and end with Ethereum.
That is not a criticism. EigenLayer, Lido, Etherfi ā they built real things.
But there are hundreds of billions in staked assets on non-ETH L1s sitting completely outside the DeFi economy.
The next unlock is not another ETH protocol.
It is bringing the same model to everyone else.
The rsETH situation is a reminder that bridges and wrapped assets are still the weakest link in onchain finance.
You can build the best yield product in the world. If the rails underneath rely on custodial bridges, you inherit their risk.
Settlement infrastructure has to be trustless by design. Not by promise.

Web3 doesn't have a liquidity problem. It has a liquidity coordination problem.
Billions in staked assets sit across Cardano, ICP, BNB, and HyperEVM. Earning base yields. Locked in place. Completely disconnected from DeFi.
The capital is there. It just can't move where it's needed most.
Builders on emerging chains struggle to bootstrap liquidity. Users outside Ethereum have no access to restaking rewards. Staked assets remain idle while opportunity passes them by.
The solution isn't more liquidity. It's infrastructure that makes existing liquidity productive, interoperable, and composable across chains.
No bridges. No wrapped assets. No third party custody.
That's what a liquidity coordination layer enables.
Capital that remains productive regardless of where it lives. Builders with access to deep cross chain liquidity from day one. Users earning yield at scale without leaving their native ecosystem.
The next phase of DeFi won't be defined by which chain wins. It will be defined by how effectively capital moves between all of them.
Liquidity coordination is the missing infrastructure layer.
Helix Labs is building it.
DeFi United isn't a bailout. It's the trust layer working in real-time.
Aave, Kelp, EtherFi, Mantle, Compound, Lido coordinating to make rsETH holders whole. No regulator, no committee. Just protocols and people.
Respect to @StaniKulechov and everyone stepping up.
Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone.
No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum.
Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too.
Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but weāre aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isnāt guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you wonāt be locked up like in a traditional venture fund.
It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital.
And Iāve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee.
ā
Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital.
Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and itās risky. Itās daring.
But ordinary people canāt invest until itās old, until itās no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line.
This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when theyāll be let in.
Investing in private markets isnāt easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people donāt have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition.
But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital.
USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages.
It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesnāt work harder anywhere.
There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You donāt want to be on the wrong side of that transaction.
USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post may imply more direct access than the filings support. Per the fundās own filings, liquidity is board-controlled, fees include up to 3% sales load + 1.00% management fee + acquired fund fees, and exposure may be via SPVs/VC funds, not direct stakes.

One week after the Kelp exploit, the DeFi map has redrawn itself.
Aave: billions out, still stabilizing. Spark: billions in, holding. Stablecoin backed infrastructure: winning. Liquid restaking tokens: under review across every major lender.
The pattern isn't hard to read.
Capital wants collateral it can verify. Yield it doesn't have to bridge. Assets that don't depend on five systems working in sync to stay solvent.
That's the gap Helix was built to fill.
Web3 doesnāt just need more liquidity. It needs liquidity that can move seamlessly across chains. Thatās how capital stays productive. Thatās how builders get the tools they need. And thatās how users unlock yield at scale. Liquidity coordination is the missing piece.
