Now tracking @onrefinance on @solana OnRe connects on-chain capital to real-world reinsurance markets through tokenized risk pools, offering exposure to uncorrelated insurance-based returns https://t.co/jU7DVB97AH

If you’ve studied funding rate arbitrage, LP inventory risk, or priced gamma in perps, you’ll recognize the value @KvantsAI is unlocking. 🔏 For everyone else, we’ve built the infrastructure so you don’t have to. 🤝 Let's break it down. ⏬ The idea behind Kvants Vault is to abstract the complexity of execution, giving allocators direct access to high-conviction strategies with transparent edge and institutional-grade precision. Kvants vault speaks the same language as traders, but makes it accessible to allocators.⚡️ The Neutralized JLP Vault is a case in point. It captures yield from LP activity while neutralizing SOL exposure in real time using perpetuals. The result is a delta-neutral return stream that doesn’t depend on market direction.📈 Since the vault dynamically responds to market shifts, rebalancing exposure and maintaining neutrality across changing volatility regimes, the return profile is uncorrelated, on-chain, and repeatable. 🚦 Allocators combine leveraged LP exposure with dynamic, real-time hedging to maintain a delta-neutral position. Behind the interface is infrastructure, fast, tested, and optimized for a great performance under changing conditions. We can't wait to give you access to #Kvantsvault soon! Follow @KvantsAI stay updated. #Kvants #Crypto #DeFi #Dex

Structured products are no longer confined to traditional markets. ⚡️ @KvantsAI brings institutional-grade strategy logic, execution, risk limits, performance tracking, into fully on-chain form. 🔍 For allocators building around delta neutrality, capital efficiency, and quant-driven edge, this is the next step. 🔽 Kvants Vaults generate returns by engaging directly with market mechanics: earning from perp funding arbitrage, trading statistically mispriced asset pairs, hedging short-term momentum signals, and extracting fee yield from liquidity provisioning, without taking on market exposure. 📊 Each vault is a self-contained strategy stack, built to operate autonomously on #Solana derivatives layer. Smart contracts handle execution, rebalancing, and no manual input or no hidden levers. If you care about portfolio construction, uncorrelated return streams, and programmable alpha, you’ll want to understand how Kvants Vaults work. Read Below⏬ https://t.co/PatZ5vEZ4a

Matrixport: Bitcoin is gradually transitioning from a high-risk asset to a new asset class that better aligns with institutional prudence standards.

We're pleased to announce our partnership with @members_cap issuing a tokenised reinsurance fund. This tokenised reinsurance fund aims to provide attractive, high-yield, risk-adjusted returns uncorrelated to traditional asset classes.

What makes a vault truly systematic? @KvantsAI, We deploy on-chain infrastructure that mirrors how multi-strategy quant funds operate, across execution, risk, and performance attribution. Each Kvants Vault represents a distinct trading engine designed to extract edge from specific inefficiencies in the market. 📍The Funding-Rate Carry strategy captures excess yield from skewed perpetual funding rates. It’s delta-neutral and designed to benefit from market imbalances. 📍Statistical Arbitrage identifies correlated asset pairs that deviate beyond their historical relationship. When a spread breaks, the vault takes the opposite sides and holds until mean-reversion, capturing the inefficiency. 📍Short-Term Momentum targets assets exhibiting breakout characteristics based on volume, volatility spikes, and market structure shifts. Each trade is hedged to isolate signal from noise. It's an engine for directional alpha, constrained by stop-loss logic and real-time risk ceilings. 📍The Neutralised JLP #Yield strategy is a hybrid model, long Drift’s JLP to collect fees and interest, shorting perps to eliminate price risk. This design produces two uncorrelated revenue streams while maintaining low volatility exposure. Every Kvants Vault runs on-chain. Risk management is encoded. Leverage, VaR, and execution rules are enforced without human intervention. You don’t have to believe the pitch, you can verify every trade, allocation, and yield curve. This is systematic trading infrastructure, reimagined for DeFi. Follow @KvantsAI to explore vault metrics, performance drops, and upcoming strategies. #Kvants #Quant #Crypto #DeFi #Onchain

A New Chapter in Finance 🚨 For decades, the financial industry has relied on the 60/40 portfolio and passive funds, built on the assumption that the future will mirror the past. Millions of people own retirement plans and portfolios based on this rationale. But what happens when the rules change? We're in a structural regime shift, and it's breaking all the old playbooks. Back in 2022 absolutely everyone expected bonds to be the safe haven when stocks fell. Instead, both plummeted as the dollar surged. More recently, we saw the dollar sell off alongside equities. These are not isolated events; they're clear signals that the macro environment is fundamentally shifting. Bitcoin is often called a safe haven but regularly dumps on bad macro news. US equity valuations are back at historic highs. Every market dip brings out recession talk, even when economic growth is stable. According to Capital Flows’s macro report (https://t.co/SugcYCCAA5) what we're witnessing is a convergence of unprecedented factors: ▫️Social media and the attention economy are now active market participants. (So are digital assets) ▫️ Volatility is exploding – on both the upside and downside for stocks and bonds. The "Life Raft" Illusion In this chaos, assets like Bitcoin and Gold are often pitched as the ultimate "life rafts." But here's the critical point: as these assets get increasingly integrated into the traditional financial system, they're becoming subject to the same institutional flows and rebalancing rules. We at @UpholdOTC have said since 2023 that Bitcoin is turning into just another risk asset. This means crypto’s diversification benefits will likely diminish. The simple question to ask is: How correlated is an asset to major stock or bond movements? If it's uncorrelated, it might offer temporary safety. However, over time, Bitcoin has shown a consistent positive correlation with the S&P 500. While it might outperform or underperform, it behaves largely like any other risk asset within the broader market. As integration deepens, this correlation will only increase. When everything becomes cross-collateralized and correlations converge, understanding the underlying macro liquidity and interest rate changes becomes paramount. The old rules are breaking, and the only way to navigate this higher volatility is through active management. Are you prepared for this new market reality? Let's discuss. #MarketShift #MacroEconomics #ActiveManagement #Bitcoin #Gold #6040Portfolio #Investing #FinancialMarkets

Renowned financial advisor Ric Edelman: Crypto assets can account for up to 40% of investment portfolios and have become a mainstream allocation option.

If you’re looking to move beyond raw beta exposure and tap into structured alpha, @KvantsAI Statistical Pair Vault is purpose-built for that. ⚙️ You don’t need to take our word for it. ⏬ Every trade, rebalance, and vault metric is visible on-chain, updated as the strategy runs. It’s full transparency by design, so you can monitor capital efficiency, exposure, and execution outcomes in real time. In markets driven by #macro shocks and #liquidity whiplash, directional conviction often breaks. Our vault thrives in those conditions, not by guessing where the market is headed, but by systematically capturing inefficiencies between correlated assets when they dislocate. It’s a convergence engine, not a trend follower. By pairing assets with established statistical relationships, the vault identifies when prices deviate beyond normal thresholds, then takes opposing positions, long on the undervalued asset, short on the overvalued one. 📉 The aim isn’t to time the market, but to profit from its tendency to mean-revert. Each position is delta-neutral at entry. Your capital isn’t exposed to broad market swings, but to relative movement between the two legs. That makes it a powerful hedge and a source of uncorrelated return, especially in volatile or sideways regimes. 📊 Trade signals are generated off-chain using models that blend z-score analysis, historical correlation decay, and co-integration stability and engineered to extract value when others chase noise. 🛜 When a signal passes risk filters, the vault executes it directly through our on-chain infrastructure, no intermediaries, no lag. @KvantsAI Vaults will open soon to a limited group of depositors. Follow @KvantsAI for strategy insights, performance updates, and early access.

Not all yield is equal. Some is uncorrelated, composable, and backed by real-world insurance premiums. Some is tokenized and tradable 24/7 on @orca_so with over $5 million in liquidity. Reinsurance is finally liquid. Explore the ONe/sUSDe pool → https://t.co/2RUC6hZyZ1 https://t.co/FdoLwaV7rT

Institutional Adoption Grows as CME Bitcoin Traders Reach ATH Institutional interest in Bitcoin is no longer a trend; it is a structural shift. The number of large holders of CME Bitcoin futures just hit an all-time high of 217, up 36% since January, and this is not opportunistic trading around headlines but consistent accumulation. GameStop adding BTC to its treasury and Trump Media raising $2.3 billion to buy BTC show that corporate adoption is accelerating alongside institutional flows. With growing policy uncertainty and trade war tensions, Bitcoin is emerging as a strategic hedge and a digital reserve asset uncorrelated with traditional risks. The data makes it clear that Bitcoin has moved beyond being a speculative bet and is becoming a permanent fixture in institutional portfolios.

ICYMI: One finds new liquidity on @orca_so As demand for composable, uncorrelated yield grows across DeFi, we're excited to see decentralized liquidity pools emerge for the One token. With the One/sUSDe pool on Orca, LPs aren't locked in. They can exit early by swapping One on secondary markets, rebalance across strategies without unwinding, and improve capital efficiency without waiting for maturity. This is a meaningful step toward making reinsurance a liquid, tradable asset class, and unlocking more dynamic, on-chain markets for risk and capital.

💰 RootData Funding Report (4/16) - @neutrl_labs 🚀 @neutrl_labs has raised $5M in a seed round to develop a high-yield synthetic dollar backed by scalable, market-neutral arbitrage strategies across altcoin markets. The round was led by @Accomplices and @stix_co, with backing from @ambergroup_io, @nascentxyz, @FigmentCapital and others — an investor group uniquely aligned with neutrl’s thesis of building a stable, yield-generating asset layer rooted in real, off-chain trading strategies. · Accomplice, a venture firm and modern family office, brings long-term capital and deep strategic guidance—valuable for neutrl’s positioning as a capital-efficient stable yield product that sits at the intersection of DeFi and institutional-grade structured finance. · STIX, as a leading OTC platform specializing in illiquid token deals and crypto equity sales, is especially well-positioned to support neutrl’s execution infrastructure. Their experience in off-exchange liquidity sourcing and compliant deal structuring adds credibility and depth to neutrl’s underlying arbitrage engine. · Amber Group contributes a global institutional footprint and robust trading infrastructure, offering neutrl access to real-time execution, cross-venue liquidity, and macro strategy insight. Their backing helps bridge neutrl into a broader network of high-volume, low-risk strategies typically reserved for trading desks. · Nascent, known for backing high-conviction, early-stage crypto primitives, brings expertise in product-market fit for financial protocols, and can support neutrl in designing mechanisms that balance yield, composability, and long-term sustainability. · Figment Capital, with roots in staking and PoS infrastructure, complements neutrl’s potential future integrations with onchain yield sources or staking-based collateral. Their network and technical experience offer valuable support should neutrl expand toward hybrid on-off chain yield generation models. 💡 Together, this syndicate equips neutrl with the trading depth, operational credibility, and capital strategy needed to build a robust, scalable synthetic dollar—offering users stable, uncorrelated returns powered by real-world arbitrage rather than inflationary tokenomics.

📰Matrixport: Continued Stablecoin Inflows Show Crypto Market Resilience and Application Growth Matrixport @Matrixport_CN released a chart today stating that despite the slowdown in growth, stablecoin funds are still steadily flowing in, reflecting the continued development of the crypto ecosystem. While this is not enough to trigger an avalanche of altcoin rallies, it undoubtedly shows that the industry is far from stagnant. It is worth noting that stablecoin inflows are still growing against the backdrop of uncertainty in the stock and bond markets, suggesting that crypto assets are gradually evolving into a more uncorrelated asset class. As the debate over tariffs and trade wars continues to heat up, the potential application scenarios for crypto are becoming increasingly attractive, which makes us slightly optimistic about the market outlook.

DeFAI and DeFAIN'T: A Reality Check on AI in DeFiIf you’re not entirely exhausted on the topic, let's talk about AI and DeFi.No, not the "Jarvis, make me rich by trading crypto while I go surfing" kind – the real kind.The crypto space is flooded with visions of AI agents that can trade like Renaissance Technologies, identify the next 100x gem before CT catches wind, and probably make you coffee while they're at it. It's an exciting future, sure - but would it really be that shocking if we were (yet again) getting a bit ahead of ourselves?The Current State of “Aiffairs”Look, I'm as bullish as anyone on the fusion of AI and DeFi. The potential is undeniable. I’ve literally described it as “transcendent” and I stand by that position. But there's a world of difference between "AI can help optimize technical or tedious operations" and "AI can replace human judgment in complex situations riddled with incomplete information."Right now, the discourse around DeFAI feels a bit like people thinking we’re for self-driving Formula 1 cars when the reality is we are still figuring out how to make them parallel park reliably… and remember where they parked. We need to walk before we can run, and right now we’ve only just begun crawling.I’m not saying we shouldn’t shoot for the moon - but if I’ve learned anything in crypto it’s that a dose of reality is often the best medicine in any situation, especially euphoria. Yes, there are some agents that can take a written command and execute a swap on it, or maybe a series of swaps - but it’s frankly hard to imagine that someone would spend the time doing that when it’s literally faster and easier to just make those same trades on the protocol front end. For that narrative to be compelling a trading AI has to be capable of a LOT more than that - people are immediately extrapolating this caveman fire to laser precision and sophistication. Luckily there are plenty of things that seem like much lower hanging fruit, and they’re interesting as standalones - they don’t need to be compiled into a “Rube Goldberg” AI trading megalith before they are useful. So here’s my hot take:What AI Almost Certainly Can't Do (Yet)An (incomplete) list of examples that seem too good to be true right now:1. Complex Market Analysis- Filtering genuine alpha from noise, or even just sarcasm from truth- Identifying sustainable trends vs. chart manipulation or transaction stuffing- Understanding complex market narratives and their interactions, and the fundamental drivers behind them2. Comprehensive Portfolio Management- Portfolio optimization across uncorrelated assets, or understanding hidden correlation- Position sizing, entries, exits, general portfolio management “tactics” derived from high level goals- Game-time execution and subjective decision-making during periods of high volatility or all-too-frequent “edge cases”3. Due Diligence and Risk Management- Identifying sophisticated scams, rug pulls, or frauds from true value in novel opportunities- Underwriting or even simply identifying the risk vectors around complex smart contract exploits or latent vulnerabilities- Detecting new forms of market manipulation, metrics stuffing, or even baiting tactics that targeting these hypothetical AI systemsThe Path Forward: What AI Could Do, Now or Very SoonInstead of trying to boil the ocean, let's focus on what we can build reliably today. Here's where I think plenty of real opportunity lies:1. Yield and Income Optimization- AI agents that monitor and optimize lending positions- Automated refinancing when better rates become available- Rate arbitrage and first-mover execution on market inefficiencies and rate mismatch2. Liquidity and Position Management- Optimal LP position management, rebalancing and compounding- Impermanent loss mitigation and volatility management- Multi-protocol transaction routing and abstraction3. Onchain Execution Optimization- Smart transaction timing and cost optimization- MEV protection and privacy preservation- Bundled transactions and sophisticated order executionWhy This MattersThe promise of DeFi has always been about opening finance. AI will play a crucial role in that future, but only if we build it right. Rushing to create "AI that makes you rich" is more likely to create "AI that loses your money in exciting new ways."Instead - by focusing on foundational problems and building reliable solutions, we can collectively create the infrastructure for truly transformative applications. It's like the early internet – before we got to social media and streaming video, we needed reliable protocols for sending email and hosting static websites.The Size PerspectiveAt Size Credit, we're taking this measured approach. Rather than trying to build the ultimate trading AI, we're focused on bringing useful smart contracts to these markets. That means being a first mover on launching a VIRTUAL collateralized market to borrow USDC - and doing so with sophisticated term structure and predictable rates that can be a foundation to build upon.Looking ForwardThe next time someone tells you their AI agent can "trade better than a human," ask them how it handles gas optimization or rate arbitrage. Because those who are actually building the future of DeFAI are probably starting there.The revolution will come, but like many times before it'll be built on “boring” innovations that actually work, not exciting promises that don't.Writer: @ryandemat (Size BD)

Streaming royalties offer dependable income driven by real-world demand. As fans listen, investors earn, making royalties one of the few crypto assets with consistent returns.Uncorrelated with traditional markets, tokens provide stability amid economic shifts. Tokenisation further facilitates fractional ownership, allowing anyone to invest in a song’s revenue stream.We make investing in music royalties simple, connecting IP royalty owners and investors. With steady earnings and cultural impact, streaming royalties are a standout passive income opportunity in Web3.

Larry Fink has changed his mind about Bitcoin in the last year. He now sees it as an uncorrelated asset with the potential for great returns. 👀 https://t.co/kXFLwHv25a

Music royalties offer steady, uncorrelated income, making them a resilient asset for DeFi. Tokenised catalogues unlock fractional ownership, supporting artists and expanding RWAs on blockchain. https://t.co/ye9sEpbytp

Do you think #Bitcoin will continue to be an uncorrelated asset in the next 5-10 years? 🤔 #Crypto #BTC

Music catalogue owners understand that value in music extends beyond trends and immediate returns. Unlike volatile crypto assets, music catalogues grow steadily over time, benefiting from long-term income streams that rely on listener loyalty and demand. While trends shift, beloved songs retain their value, often growing as new generations rediscover them, making music royalties resilient to market swings. Music’s uncorrelated nature with other markets is key. Regardless of economic shifts, people continue to listen, ensuring catalogue owners consistent returns—an approach crypto could learn to adopt for stability. Music Protocol brings these principles to DeFi by tokenising royalties, offering crypto investors a taste of what catalogue owners know: diversified, steady returns from music’s enduring value.

Did You Know? Music Royalties Are Uncorrelated – Here’s Why That Matters 🎶In finance, an uncorrelated asset is one that doesn’t fluctuate with traditional market swings. Unlike stocks or real estate, music royalties depend on listener demand, not economic cycles.So, what does this mean for investors? When markets are down, people don’t stop listening to music. This steady demand makes music royalties uncorrelated to typical market conditions, offering unique stability in both bull and bear markets.Most RWAs (Real-World Assets), like real estate or commodities, are closely linked to the economy. Their values shift with inflation rates, employment trends, and consumer spending.Music royalties, on the other hand, are driven by streaming, radio, and licensing, making them resilient. Their uncorrelated nature makes royalties a powerful addition to diversified portfolios.By balancing assets that fluctuate with the market, investors can create a more stable income stream and reduce overall risk. 🎼Platforms like Music Protocol bring these benefits to the DeFi space, enabling investors to access fractional shares of music royalties. This approach provides predictable returns without the market swings of other investments. 🔗Tokenising royalties opens this steady, uncorrelated asset class to everyday investors, allowing them to benefit from stability that institutional investors have long leveraged.In uncertain times, music royalties offer a sound, stable income.

Why Streaming Royalties Are the Ultimate Passive Income Asset in Web3 🎶Streaming royalties are unique in Web3 for generating reliable income from real-world demand.As fans listen, artists (and investors) earn, making royalties one of the few assets in crypto that provides consistent returns.Music royalties are uncorrelated with traditional markets, meaning they offer stability regardless of economic shifts. This makes streaming royalties ideal for anyone seeking passive income without the usual volatility.In Web3, tokenised royalties open up music investments to a broader audience. Fractional ownership lets investors hold shares of a song’s income stream, creating a new pathway for decentralized, passive income.Platforms like Music Protocol make this possible, allowing users to invest directly in music royalties. This bridges fans and artists while offering a financial stake in the music people love.With consistent revenue and cultural impact, streaming royalties set the standard for passive income in Web3, blending financial growth with real-world art and entertainment.As more assets are tokenised, music royalties stand out as a resilient, tangible way for Web3 investors to build passive income—showcasing the transformative potential of decentralised finance.

How Much of DeFi’s Future Could Be Shaped by Music Catalogues? 🎶Music catalogues offer a unique asset class for DeFi, providing stable, real-world returns through royalties.As DeFi matures, tokenised catalogues could become key to diversifying income streams and expanding the use of RWAs on blockchain. Unlike volatile assets, music royalties offer consistent income due to steady listener demand, making them a resilient addition to DeFi portfolios.This uncorrelated nature provides security in an often unpredictable crypto landscape.Tokenising music catalogues allows investors to buy fractional shares, broadening access to music royalties.This creates new ways to support artists and integrates DeFi into the music industry.With platforms like Music Protocol, DeFi users can invest in music royalties, transforming fan engagement into a financial relationship.This model supports artists directly while providing investors with stable returns.As more real-world assets are tokenised, music catalogues could shape DeFi’s future by blending cultural value with financial growth, making music a staple in decentralised portfolios.The future of DeFi isn’t just about tech—it’s about tangible assets like music, enriching both investors and artists. Music catalogues might just be the next frontier.

Some minutes from last week's space: - Big Tech "doesn't know what to do with the computers;" they own massive physical compute infra, but SaaS returns now in doubt with LLMs; they can't innovate themselves so they're desperate for small "AGI" startups to do work with their data centers. - They're trying to "build God" so the machine can tell them what to do. - Obsession with AGI is a symptom of technological nihilism lacking intrinsic values and leading to purposeless accumulation of leverage. - Technological nihilism results in liquidating cultural values and community cohesion, turning everything into measurable leverage due to valuing only power and GDP. - Crypto and proof-of-work systems are presented as alternative paths to organizing planetary compute, grounded in intrinsic human values. - Philosophical perspectives like Heidegger's concept of "standing reserve" were discussed, emphasizing that without intrinsic values, everything becomes a resource to be exploited. - We debated fundamental concepts such as the right to exit and the existence of rights, suggesting that responsibilities and duties given by God are more meaningful than "rights." - Meaningful technological advancement requires cultivating real, intrinsic values and purposes, often stepping away from technology to find these values. - The conversation concluded with a call to "become uncorrelated," to "bring something incomprehensible into the world," and to prepare for building significant infrastructure grounded in human purposes.

"Verify, don't trust" is a core guiding principle of DeFi. And to make risk verification transparent and simple, we partnered with @intotheblock to create an institutional-grade risk radar for Gearbox. 🛡️The risk radar enables users to access 18 key risk metrics that cover everything from overall protocol risk analysis to pool-wise metrics: https://t.co/aTEq6z2fAq.You can find the below information on the dashboard:⛑️ Leverage and HealthThe Health Factor (HF) measures how close a borrower is to liquidation. If the HF falls below 1, borrowers risk liquidation. The majority of leverage positions on Gearbox are created through correlated debt, i.e., borrowing ETH for LRTs or stables for sUSDe, etc.While this mechanism significantly mutes volatility, it is still important to know the leverage in the system and the users' HF. This parameter allows you to find the HF distribution of correlated and uncorrelated borrows.📊 Liquidation DataHF provides a broader overview of borrowers at risk of liquidation. Looking at granular data, though, paints a clearer picture. ITB's High Risk Loans indicator helps monitor the exact value within a 1% and 5% range of liquidation.Liquidations are natural for a lending protocol. @chaos_labs have designed the parameters to ensure liquidations happen safely on Gearbox. But for the mechanism to work, it is crucial to have timely liquidations. This can be monitored through the "Open liquidations" metric. (All safe; Gearbox has been live for 2.5+ years and has never faced bad debt.)🔎 Pool Specific DataWhile the above data denotes the metrics for the entire protocol, lenders can access metrics for specific pools by filtering for the pool on top dashboard. Lenders can find• What strategies are their assets being borrowed for• Associated leverage and health data• Liquidation Modeling for the related borrowsThis enables lenders to proactively verify the risks associated with supplying passively.
