Internet Capital Market is Real - Phase Two The previous article briefly introduced the stock section of the Solana panorama chart shared by @0xMert_. Overall, most of the projects are familiar to everyone. Today, I want to continue from the last article and write about Private Credit, which has many Hidden Gems in this section. Link to the previous article: Without further ado, let's get started. First contender: @apolloglobal In simple terms, Apollo is an asset management company focused on asset management, asset providers, wealth management, and pensions, founded in 1990, with AUM of around $700 billion. Specifically, Apollo's main focus is on: 1 - Helping companies with financing 2 - Engaging in credit, equity, and real asset investments 3 - Providing asset protection services through Athene, its pension company Currently, Apollo has realized the securitized credit fund ACRED (Apollo Diversified Credit Securitize Fund) through @Solana and @KaminoFinance. The underlying assets of ACRED include direct corporate loans and asset-backed loans. Second contender: @hamilton_lan Hamilton Lane is also an asset management company, currently managing around $900 billion, established in 1989. They started engaging in credit investments in 2000. Their investment scope is quite diverse, including real estate, infrastructure, and private equity. Hamilton Lane is the first asset management company to issue a tokenized fund SCOPE (Senior Credit Opportunities Fund) on Solana. Currently, this tokenized fund: 1 - Allows retail investors to invest in private companies with a minimum of $10K (traditional minimum requirement is $250K) 2 - Is issued based on @librecap and belongs to Hamilton Lane's Feeder Fund 3 - Has already raised $700 million for SCOPE Third contender: @Credix_finance Credix is a B2B credit platform based on Solana, aiming to provide more efficient and faster credit. The business cases provided on the website include: 1 - Helping Praso achieve a 70% increase in conversion rates by providing faster user credit payments 2 - Assisting Allied in achieving a 10% increase in B2B transaction volume 3 - Helping Volvo Truck reduce the time required for underwriting services from 48 hours to 5 minutes. At the same time, Credix also offers B2B payment services and a seller management platform. This part also includes corresponding API/SDK. According to data from 2022, Credix achieved $25 million in loans for small and medium-sized enterprises in Brazil, all completed based on @Solana. Fourth contender: @maplefinance This one is a relatively OG DeFi product, with a business scope that includes: 1 - On-chain lending/earning 2 - Earning stablecoin products (SyrupUSDC) SyrupUSDC is a core product after Maple migrated to Solana, currently yielding around ~6.5%. The implementation of this technology is supported by Chainlink's CCIP protocol. The main purpose of the migration is due to @Solana's: 1 - Faster speed 2 - Stronger compatibility Summary: This section is quite interesting, with many traditional institutions prominently listed. For traditional institutions, the main purpose of using Solana is: 1 - Increasing the possibility of small investments 2 - Raising another round of financing through asset tokenization while testing the waters for securitized tokens For existing DeFi products, the main purposes are: 1 - A faster, more efficient user experience 2 - Allowing instant settlement/verification of credit I hope to update the next article in the next two weeks, focusing on the recently hottest topic, the Money Market, which many people want to share in. Thanks to @Solana_zh for providing the learning materials. This article is supported by the research team of @RealSigmaLabs.

Internet Capital Market is Real. Just stumbled on this Solana RWA (Real World Assets) ecosystem map that Mert posted like two weeks ago. And honestly? It’s insane. There are so many projects on here that barely get talked about in today's crypto space. @Solana is out here flexing, and I feel like it’s time to throw some of these hidden gems back into the spotlight. Let’s start with the Stock x Web3 section. I’ll break down the other parts in the next few days, so if you’re into this, hit that follow button and stay in the loop. 1. Superstate Funds (@superstatefunds) These guys are all about bridging traditional finance and crypto. Their main products: 1. USCC (Superstate Crypto Carry Fund): It’s an arbitrage fund for BTC/ETH/SOL using cash-and-carry trades, targeting institutions. They’ve got $170M AUM, and their returns in the last 90 days have been around 5%-10%. USTB (Superstate Short Duration US Government Securities Fund): Tokenized short-term US treasuries. You can buy, sell, and see real-time pricing all on-chain. USCC leans heavily on Solana, while USTB works more with traditional banks and Ethereum. 2. xStocks (@xStocksFi) This one’s been getting a lot of hype lately. Big players like @Bybit_Official, @krakenfx, and @solana are backing them. Even DeFi platforms like @byreal_io and @KaminoFinance are involved (big thanks to @Solana_zh for the Byreal whitelist hookup). Their thing? Tokenizing 60 US stocks and listing them on five major exchanges. Stock tokenization is still super early, and big guys like @RobinhoodApp are eyeing this space hard. It’s too early to call who’s winning or even what “winning” looks like, so for now, just keep watching. Tokenized stocks are definitely a big trend, though. If done right (and with proper regulation), it could shake up the whole asset management industry. And honestly, stuff like @sigmaboy_ai’s smart token trading could eat a lot of the traditional platforms’ lunch. 3. Ondo Finance (@OndoFinance) An OG in the space, Ondo is all about asset tokenization. They’ve got a bunch of products: US Short-Term Treasuries: Helping companies manage treasuries with transparency and solid yields. Treasuries & Stablecoins: Custom-made solutions for big asset managers. They’ve got clients like @BlackRock and @FTI_Global. FLUX: A DeFi lending protocol they acquired—DeFi veterans probably know it. Ondo’s basically an L1 focused on RWA for institutions. They’re tight with Solana, so expect them to keep building together. 4. Remora Markets (@RemoraMarkets) This one’s not as famous as the others, but it’s got strong ties to Solana and the Step ecosystem (shoutout to @StepFinance_ for their data services). Their focus? Tokenized securities. The idea is to make stock purchases more flexible in terms of size. They’re still in the KYB (Know Your Business) phase with companies and working on issuing tokenized stocks. Their site mentions future support for big names like Apple and Tesla, but the real play might be tokenizing private equity—kind of like the STO (Security Token Offering) hype from back in the day. TL;DR Solana’s stock RWA scene is looking solid—everything from big players to niche startups, covering all kinds of use cases. I’m tempted to go full hype mode on @solana right now, but this is just the first part. Let me drop all six breakdowns first, and then I’ll hit you with the ultimate recap. Stay tuned.

Can you also go from an ordinary person to the founder of an AI project? Quickly take a look back at the highlights of our AMA with DeepFunding✨ Key points in a nutshell 💡 DF focuses on ideas that solve real societal pain points 💡 Beginners can also participate by submitting RFP proposals to secure funding 💡 Having an MVP or prototype greatly increases the chances of selection In last month's AMA, we invited core member Rafael from @DeepFunding to co-host an AMA with us to discuss how everyone can obtain funding through DF. Of course, for many people, entrepreneurship seems far away, but the reality is that many non-technical creators have already received help from DF! Let's take a look at the key points shared by the guests: 1️⃣ Rafael pointed out that over 140 AI projects have been successfully funded, covering a wide range of types, from generative music tools, AI job matching platforms, to community collaborative Bot applications—all involved! So actually, what @DeepFunding values most is not the technical threshold of the team or the founder, but whether they can solve the world's pain points and have a positive impact on society. 2️⃣ In addition to providing financial support, selected AI project teams will also receive technical consulting assistance from Deep Funding, open-source resources, community exposure, and other opportunities. For those without any project management experience or coding background, this support beyond financial aid is very valuable and can significantly reduce trial and error costs ✅ 3️⃣ Rafael noted that while Deep Funding accepts applications at the concept stage, if the team can provide a demo, it makes it easier for the officials to assess the project's potential. Therefore, Rafael encourages everyone to be brave and try a little more to increase their chances of success! This is definitely a plus! Must pay more attention to this🌟 4️⃣ From the perspective of community projects, @MrRyanChi shared a different idea. He believes that more and more young creators are actively entering the Web3 industry due to the democratization of AI tools. If more AI tools are open-sourced in the future, it will not only lower the barriers to entrepreneurship but also make it easier for more idea-driven individuals to reach the product design stage, all thanks to platforms like Deep Funding providing better resources for everyone to realize their ideas. 5️⃣ As an AI artist, @TsukiWong mentioned that after using AI tools, she can experiment with various styles of images in just a few minutes through generative AI, which also reduces time costs in the post-production process. Overall, the creative process is not just driven by inspiration but is an experience of "human-machine integration!" If you're interested, you can also revisit it. What does Deep Funding do? If anyone is interested in testing their ideas, you can apply for funding directly at Deep Funding; you can find the link in the comments below👇🏻

First time on a variety show!!! Let me say this first This time it's really just about doing it fiercely.

Internet Capital Market is Real. This morning, I just came across the Solana RWA panorama that Teacher Mert posted half a month ago, which includes several projects that are rarely mentioned in the Chinese community. While marveling at the awesomeness of the @Solana ecosystem, I feel it's time to bring these Hidden Gems back into the public eye❗️❗️❗️ Today, I'll first discuss the stock x Web3 part, and I will update the other major sections daily. If you're interested, remember to follow me: First contender: @superstatefunds: Main products include: 1) USCC: Superstate Crypto Carry Fund, primarily a crypto purchase option for institutional clients. It employs cash-and-carry trades for arbitrage strategies involving BTC/ETH/SOL. Currently, the AUM is about $170 million. The returns over the past 90 days have fluctuated between 5% - 10%. 2) USTB: Superstate Short Duration US Government Securities Fund, an on-chain short-term government bond investment tool, mainly facilitating on-chain purchases and launches through blockchain, as well as real-time asset pricing. The USCC part of Superstate Funds relies more heavily on @solana compared to USTB, which also has some bank Book Record. USTB mainly involves banks + ETH. Second contender: @xStocksFi This one should be very familiar to everyone recently, with strong support from @Bybit_Official, @krakenfx, and @solana, as well as participation from two DeFi providers, @byreal_io and @KaminoFinance. (By the way, thanks to @Solana_zh for providing the Byreal whitelist qualification). Currently, xStocks mainly aims to put 60 US stocks on-chain and list them on five major exchanges. The tokenization of stocks is still in its early stages, and predators like @RobinhoodApp are eyeing this big piece of meat, so it's hard to say who is doing well, who has advantages, or even what constitutes an advantage. Therefore, all we can do is keep an eye on it. Overall, I believe that tokenized stocks are still a major trend and must run parallel to regulation. If done well, the entire asset management industry will be directly reshaped. More importantly, I believe that smart token trading products like @sigmaboy_ai will replace a large number of asset management platforms and reap significant benefits. Third contender: @OndoFinance This is also an old player, focusing on asset tokenization. The product range is quite extensive, including: 1) US short-term government bonds: helping enterprises manage government bonds with high transparency and high returns. 2) US bonds & stablecoins: customized stablecoin/government bond issuance for large asset management institutions, with clients including @BlackRock, @FTI_Global, and many others. 3) FLUX: A DeFi lending protocol acquired by Ondo, which should be familiar to DeFi veterans. Basically, Ondo is an L1 providing RWA services for institutions, and it has a close relationship with Solana, which is expected to continue to empower each other. Fourth contender: @RemoraMarkets This contender is not as famous as the previous ones, but has a particularly good relationship with @Solana and is strongly bound to the Step system (utilizing data services provided by @StepFinance_). Remora's main business is in tokenized securities, aiming to provide more flexible options for stock purchases through tokenization. Currently, the product is not yet available, as it is still in the process of conducting KYB for enterprises and issuing stocks. According to the official website, Remora is expected to support trading of stocks from major companies like APPLE and Tesla in the future. However, based on the gathering of enterprises for KYB, it is reasonable to speculate that Remora's larger market lies in helping crowdfunding stocks achieve on-chain trading, similar to the STO craze back in the day. In summary, the stock RWA segment of the Solana ecosystem is quite comprehensive, catering to various stakeholders, big and small. Although I already want to start praising @solana heavily, this is just the first article, and it's just a small trial. The real summary will wait until I've written six articles, then I'll write it well❗️❗️❗️
