Enjoyed my chat with @NickyScanz on @theindexshow. Thanks for having me on!
🌊 Solana's liquidity layer just got a face. @tmoclabs, CEO of @orca_so, sat down with @NickyScanz to break down regulated asset infrastructure, RWAs, tokenized gold, and why every new asset should launch on Solana first.

Excited to see this go live today - #GLDY by @streamex becomes the first tokenized security to access onchain liquidity through @orca_so on @solana. If you're launching RWAs and need onchain liquidity that can meet your compliance needs, talk to us! tally.so/r/b5NdKe
RWA Infrastructure Expands on Orca Today, issuers can toggle permissions on permissionless infrastructure that permit eligible participants to transact regulated assets on @solana That means: - Asset issuers now have a new distribution channel to eligible participants onchain - Participants trade these assets with eligible counterparties verified by the issuer - Secondary markets for regulated assets can launch on Orca @streamex is the first asset issuer to distribute their tokenized security on Orca.

Tokenized assets can be distributed to a global user base, 24/7. They also gain DeFi composability, such as being used as collateral to borrow against, which can give utility to previously illiquid capital.

Secondary trading is the backbone that makes this possible. Orca's liquidity infra is battle-tested through 5 years of operation with no exploits, and we now have compliance rails that ensure participants trade these assets with eligible counterparties verified by the issuer.

Update: Orca is increasing from 3/6 to 5/9 signers rotating all multi-sig keys that govern our program upgrade authority. We have also added a 24h time lock. We are also enrolled in STRIDE, a security program for Solana DeFi funded by @SolanaFndn and led by @asymmetric_re. @SolanaFndn proactively reached out to us about STRIDE, and we're grateful to be building on a chain that's committed and follows through on helping to improve security.

Been awesome to witness the development of this firsthand!
1/3 As we await the SEC’s Innovation Exemption, credit is due to Chairman @SECPaulSAtkins and Commissioner @HesterPeirce for creating an environment where U.S. builders can engage constructively with regulators and operate onshore with greater confidence. For nearly a year, @orca_so has engaged with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force and Trading & Markets on how securities transactions through AMM infrastructure could fit within U.S. federal securities laws. In every interaction, the staff asked hard questions, engaged in good faith, and showed a genuine desire to understand how Orca’s AMM infrastructure works. The change in tone under Chairman Atkins’ leadership has been remarkable.

We’re aware of the Drift incident and are monitoring the situation. Our thoughts are with the affected teams and users. All funds on Orca are fully secure and unaffected. Our smart contracts have been audited by 4 separate auditing firms, and our opsec practices were audited recently by an external security consultant. There is always more we can do, and we remain committed to continuously raising the bar to protect our users and their funds.

It's truly wild when folks doing unsolicited outreach gaslight you for being "disrespectful" when you don't reply.

The most interesting and consequential milestone in crypto markets today -> Solana has surpassed Ethereum in trailing 30 day DEX volume for the first time ever... ...it is now the most used chain by that measure.
Next meaningful flippening in crypto is likely DEX volume market share. Will probably take a few months. Source: @artemis__xyz , @blockworksres
