A truly holistic approach to launching and scaling real-world assets. A new model for asset management has taken hold over the last few years and @RockawayX are providing the go-to market platform for how these products secure sustainability over the long term. Come alive...

There is no risk team more diligent, analytical, and prudent in their review of @onrefinance The Allez team led by @ABertoG is taking transparent risk analysis and reporting to a new level on @solana. We continue to push the levels of risk, data, and quality support for LPs.
11.56% APY on an RWA asset? What are the risks? Allez assesses @OnReFinance's ONyc as High Quality Collateral under the Asset Risk Framework. Continues

Favorite takeaway from RockawayX's monthly update: OnRe is achieving escape velocity.

One year ago, we brought reinsurance-backed yield to @solana through the OnRe Market on @kamino. Today, it's one of DeFi's largest RWA markets, with ONyc now the largest RWA asset by TVL on Kamino. Tomorrow at 11am ET, we're bringing together the teams behind that growth ↓
Join us Wednesday for a Solana DeFi special, celebrating @onrefinance's year of growth. Hear from @kamino, @exponent, @FWDind, @onrefinance, and @RockawayX on how they add liquidity, utility, products, and ways to access ONyc. Live on Solana's X @ 11AM ET, August 19

Top @Ayyanrahman 💪
OnRe shows how reinsurance cash flows can function as productive onchain collateral. It brings reinsurance premiums onchain and makes them usable in DeFi, creating returns that behave differently from typical crypto. @onrefinance Co-Founder @Ayyanrahman on building with USDG

ONyc has received an independent A- risk score from @AllezLabs. The score reflects ONyc's standing as a high-quality collateral asset, supported by regulated insurance infrastructure, institutional custody arrangements, and deep integration across the Solana ecosystem.

Great education @ExponentFinance. We’re building a platform where investors can choose exactly where they want to be on the risk-return curve.

OnRe crosses $200M TVL. Onchain reinsurance is now a real RWA category. And @solana is where it's being built. $FWDI is positioned in the asset class through @onrefinance.

As onchain asset management continues to find it's market fit and scale, the responsibility of these new actors to ensure the highest regulatory oversight, transparency and diligence increases. As we at @onrefinance celebrate a key milestone - $200m of capital managed onchain, the largest of any reinsurer globally - we also take stock of this responsibility as we continue to develop the standard for how all of capital markets can interact more efficiently with this asset class. We are excited by the educational products and tools we are to launch in the coming months and for what's to come long term, this is only the beginning. Well done to @Ayyanrahman, the growth and engineering team and the wider OnRe community for building this peer-to-peer global reinsurer. Onwards.
$200M AUM. The leading global capital partner for reinsurance, redefining DeFi by bringing real-world premiums onchain through transparent, liquid, and composable infrastructure. A new era for capital markets starts here.

Congratulations to @OnReFinance on reaching $200M AUM, in just over a year. Excited to grow this high-quality yield from the $800B+ reinsurance industry onchain with the best DeFi guardrails.

Education alongside access. @AllezLabs provide an independent way to translate the performance, structure and strategy of ONyc to the market.
OnRe has selected @AllezLabs as its independent risk partner. As ONyc expands across lending markets, liquidity venues, and structured products, risk analysis plays a key role in evaluating collateral quality, secondary liquidity, DeFi integrations, and portfolio resilience.

We told you @onrefinance's Onyc reinsurance fund was uncorrelated -> Onyc deposits on Kamino are *UP* despite the downturn in onchain markets. Uncorrelated double digit yield are better for holders, borrowers, and lending protocols.
The crypto yield market is missing two things Truly high yields & Ballast The reinsurance markets have consistently delivered stable, durable double digit yields. Importantly, these high yields have been uncorrelated to risk assets, making them an attractive addition to portfolios. We think these characteristics make OnRe’s ONYC a highly attractive addition to crypto portfolios & well suited for looping.

ONyc and the chads at @onrefinance are on a tear lately you’re simply not ready for what’s dropping next week we’re setting the standard @ExponentFinance 🤝 @onrefinance
The most important primitive for the expansion of RWA utility is launching on @ExponentFinance, next week. @onrefinance will be the first to be featured, enabling real structured risk products to be programmably available to our DeFi users And of course, it will be on @solana!

The market is starting to score tokenized assets on three things: Can holders mint and exit? Is the chain the settlement layer? Can the asset be deployed across DeFi? ONyc against each one: • Mint and redeem at NAV against USDC or USDG for eligible investors, with active secondary market liquidity • Daily NAV published through independent oracles, with full portfolio transparency onchain • Productive collateral across lending, liquidity, and structured yield markets on Solana Reinsurance yield, native onchain.

Non-correlated yield is what separates real diversification from the appearance of it. This is why $FWDI plans to deploy up to $25M into ONyc USD-denominated reinsurance cash flows that move independently of market beta. Built for every cycle. Built on @solana.
In a market where nearly everything moves together, the assets that don't become the most valuable. Periods of volatility reveal what is truly diversified and what appeared diversified in a bull market. ONyc is built for this: a bear market asset and bull market collateral.

Vaults bridge RWAs and onchain capital markets, combining specialized expertise, risk management, governance, and capital allocation in a single framework. Catch @Ayyanrahman on stage at @Vault__Summit as he explores why vault structures are well suited to reinsurance yield.
The first reinsurer approved by the Bermuda Monetary Authority under both the Digital Asset Business Act and the Insurance Act. OnRe brings real-world premium income onchain as composable, yield-bearing collateral across DeFi. @Ayyanrahman, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer at @onrefinance, will take the stage at Vault Summit NYC.
