Ian's Insights: On-chain Tokenized US Treasuries and Bonds

Ian's Insights: On-chain Tokenized US Treasuries and Bonds
What Happened?

Ondo Finance is bringing tokenized US Treasuries and Bonds on chain.

Why It Matters?

In the past year, we’ve seen clear limitations in the crypto credit market. Many have to do with the inability to underwrite accurately along with a limited types of collateral that were available to post on-chain.

The availability of on-chain treasury products not only means we have a proximate “risk-free” rate on chain but also that we can begin the first on-chain actions that mirror repo market activity - a market that reaches trillions of USD in funding per day. 

This also reflects a growing trend of more real world assets being brought on chain where the advantages of frictionless transfers with blockchain and encoded compliance can be fully realized.
