Grateful to be part of the conversations that shape tokenized finance going forward. As DeFi scales, one thing becomes clear: the value of high-quality native collateral still hasn’t been priced in the market as a key component for long term value and growth.
Thank you to @thetieIO for bringing together builders, institutions, and allocators driving the next phase of digital assets.
Tokenized finance is growing. The harder question is who actually gets paid.
This panel explored whether protocols capture the value, or if institutions remain the ultimate winners as the market scales.
@wsford (@YieldPointCap), @NicolaWhite444 (@RobinhoodApp), Dennis Cristallo (Kinexys by J.P. Morgan), and @SmartestBeta (@CoinbaseAM), moderated by @alexmatthews95 (Brevan Howard Digital), unpacked where value accrues and why.

Exactly! And this is why @YieldPointCap we focus on quality collateral with $UTY and distribution as the minimum requirements for long term viability.
Crypto is beginning to cross the chasm, but the one problem that we consistently see builders facing is distribution.
Building the product is becoming easier with better tooling and the help of AI. However, getting your products into the hands of your users is still a major headache for teams.
At ether.fi Ventures, distribution and GTM is our expertise. Our team has a strong track record of building great products, solving the distribution problem, and actually building a fast growing and profitable business. This is our edge and this is what we want to help our founders with.
If you have an amazing idea or product, we want to help you bring that to market. We have one of the largest and safest LRTs in the space with over $5B in TVL. If you are working on RWAs or need liquidity, we can help you tap into our $600M liquid vaults. If you’re building in the payments, neobank, or FX space, we have over 70,000 active card holders and we process $1B a year in annual volume.
We have over 300,000 users that we can distribute your product to.
Come and work with us!

After spending time with clients and partners, the constraint is clear: the system is starved of high-quality collateral.
Meanwhile, perpetuals are becoming the core financial layer, concentrating liquidity and streamlining access to leverage.
Unity is built to sit at that intersection🐕
The hunt is on.
XSY is becoming YieldPoint.
yieldpoint.io
We’re now expanding beyond a single product and a single chain, toward a platform designed to deliver credible yield opportunities across markets, assets, and ecosystems.
We’re marking this shift, from beta to production, from product to platform, with a name that reflects that direction.

Because once yield becomes reliable, it stops being a trade.
It becomes the foundation capital can build on. 🧵

This. This is why credible digital asset yield is critical to avoid currency debasement and wealth deterioration. Smart money hunts yield and digital assets are the way to preserve your wealth...and grow it @xsy_fi. Good luck generating 12-14% APY with trad-fi products only.

yield infrastructure for digital dollars is here with @xsy_fi on Katana
Sushi pools are live now, with more integrations on the way
welcome UTY and yUTY to the DeFi Dojo ⚔️
XSY Expands to Katana: Unity Goes Multi-Chain!
Today, XSY launches on @katana a major milestone in our mission to make the best yield-bearing dollar accessible across every blockchain.
From day one, the roadmap has been clear: $UTY is a multi-chain asset built to bring real yield and deep liquidity to every ecosystem.

It takes experience and alpha level insights to navigate the volatility we are seeing now. @xsy_fi we have the team and the earned credibility to deliver amidst market uncertainty @dbmarkley @austincampbell.
Last week, our Co-Founder and COO @dbmarkley joined @TheTieIO's The Bridge event in NYC to share XSY’s view on the future of stablecoin infrastructure and its role in institutional markets.
Our stance is clear: the future must be transparent, compliant, and fully backed. No cutting corners.

The Future of Stablecoins
@dbmarkley (@xsy_fi), @SmartestBeta (@CoinbaseAM), @rajachak75 (@StellarOrg), and @EvanTheFeng (@coinfund) debated whether stablecoins should remain neutral infrastructure or evolve into profit-generating assets, and what that shift means for institutions.
YieldPoint retweeted
While painful, the recent de-levering of basis trade projects is exactly why we built @xsy_fi . STOP the manufacturing of TVL deposits with Wild West levels of looping exposure and shiny ‘gold in them thar hills’ APYs focused on attracting mercenary capital. Smart capital finds smart transparent capital management. Unsophisticated mercenary capital runs scared. Do it the right way and you will sustain and thrive. That’s @xsy_fi and that’s $UTY. Transparent. Credible. Responsible.

@xsy_fi is another great example of a protocol that cares about transparency and made it a core feature of its platform. Check it out yourself accountable.xsy.fi
It’s a shame that $93M of user funds were lost. It shouldn’t be this way. As builders in this space, we can, and should, do better.
This loss is a stark reminder of what happens when “growth at all costs” trumps risk management.
Craftsmanship matters. Recursive loops and embedded leverage do not equal stability. Pick one.
At XSY, we believe a synthetic dollar’s first obligation is stability.
Users trusted xUSD to be stable. Instead, $93M vanished and contagion spread to plUSD and deUSD holders who never chose that risk.
XSY is built for institutions that want synthetic dollars engineered for resilience. User trust is the most important asset in digital finance and it’s on all of us to protect it.

Yesterday, an external fund manager overseeing Stream funds disclosed the loss of approximately $93 million in Stream fund assets.
In response, Stream is in the process of engaging Keith Miller and Joseph Cutler of the law firm Perkins Coie LLP, to lead a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
We are actively withdrawing all liquid assets and expect this process to be completed in the near term
To keep our stakeholders informed, we will provide periodic updates as additional information becomes available. Until we are able to fully assess the scope and causes of the loss, all withdrawals and deposits will be temporarily suspended. Any pending deposits will not be processed at this time.
Our decision to retain Perkins Coie LLP reflects Stream’s unwavering commitment to transparency and robust corporate governance.

Digital assets are only as strong as the infrastructure beneath them.
Excited to chat about the future with @CoinbaseAM, @coinfund, @StellarOrg & @The_DTCC at The Bridge.
Spoiler: Stablecoins are infra & yield.
