Having built institutional tokenized asset issuance and distribution at @StanChart and created one of the first tokenized money market funds in partnership with @Wellington_Mgmt, two things are very clear to me:
1. All assets will be tokenized as financial markets move onto 24/7 instant rails. The global economy is real-time, 24/7. The financial system will be also, and there is no path to internet-speed financial markets on the legacy infrastructure stack.
2. Tokenized assets with T+1 or longer subscription, redemption or settlement cycles are incompatible with internet financial markets. @multiliquid_xyz makes blue-chip tokenized assets accessible, instant, 24/7, via a single integration, unlocking global capital markets in the new financial system.
Proud to be building the future alongside @polychain @strobefund @CMT_Digital @metalayervc @deptvc @genventurecap and @circle_ventures

Firelight raises $8M in a seed round led by @GumiCryptos, with participation from @Maven11Capital, @metalayervc, @tribecap & Joint Effects.
The round supports our work closing DeFi's protection gap. ~$80B in TVL sits across DeFi today, and only a fraction is protected.

We @metalayervc are thrilled to back the @firelightfi team and their mission to build the protection layer for digital assets.

A major announcement for @Firelight and @SentoraHQ .
Today we're announcing @Firelightfi's $8M seed round, led by @GumiCryptos with @Maven11Capital, @metalayervc, Joint Effects and @tribecap. Firelight is a decentralized cover protocol, incubated by @SentoraHQ, protecting on-chain capital against smart contract and economic risk. Live in September.
The round is the least interesting part. Here's the thesis.
Every financial market that ever scaled was preceded by a risk-transfer innovation. Lloyd's coffee house created global trade. Deposit insurance took US bank failures from 9,000 to nine in a single year. Markets grow to the size of the risk they can transfer.
DeFi has ~$80B locked and a fraction of a percent covered. World-class yield infrastructure, almost no risk-transfer capacity. Its size today reflects its cover layer, not its potential.
Prior attempts stalled for three structural reasons: collateral that crashes in the exact scenario it's needed, premiums set by vibes instead of a pricing engine, and claims decided by votes nobody could rely on.
@Firelightfi answers each one: exogenous capital (XRP, then BTC and XLM), AI-native risk scoring, and independent on-chain attestation from the DeFi Risk Consortium.
Full roadmap and major partnerships coming in the next few days. The interesting part starts now.

Fun night at the @monad studio in NYC listening to @kangpandabear share the @metalayervc story and our backgrounds at @twosigmavc and @chainlink. Thanks for having us!

Value is taken from the traders who create it, in the gap between an order and its fill. No standard to measure it. No way to get it back.
Today we're announcing $4M for Birdai Labs. 👇

1/ Today, we're launching Carry by @multiliquid_xyz, a turnkey liquidity management platform for institutional capital allocators.
Stand up your own RWA liquidity facility. Set pricing. Manage risk. Deploy across a variety of assets and venues, all from a single dashboard.

We are truly lucky to have the support of the @metalayervc team - and couldn’t have worded it better ourselves

RWA looping is going to be the biggest trend in 2026.
I wouldn't be surprised if RWAs single handedly bring DeFi out of the gutter here.
Proud to support 3F with what they're building, big things ahead 🫡
We are excited to announce that @3f_xyz has raised $4 million in seed funding led by @Maven11Capital, with participation from @FPrimeCapital, @MetalayerVC, @GSR_io, Susquehanna Crypto, @Gate_Ventures and others.
3F is building the onchain infrastructure that unlocks leveraged exposure to tokenized real-world assets.

Bringing RWAs onchain through lending markets seems like the obvious next step for onchain finance, but it comes with a million nuances and blockers.
@sonyasunkim and @3f_romeo just raised $4M for @3f_xyz to bridge the gap between defi primititves and institutions.
And of course, it's built on @Morpho 💙
