Ondo and Pantera plan $250 million investment into RWA projects: Axios
Quick Take Ondo Finance and Pantera Capital plan to invest $250 million in real-world asset projects, according to Axios. Earlier this year, Ondo Finance launched a platform to give onchain exposure to U.S. securities such as stocks, bonds, and ETFs.
Ondo Finance and Pantera Capital plan to invest $250 million in real-world asset projects, according to a report from Axios .
"The $250 million will be spent on both equity stakes and project tokens," Ondo's Chief Strategy Officer Ian De Bode told Axios.
Ondo and Pantera would like to bring traditional financial markets and the digital assets sector more closely together, along with unleashing 24/7 trading of real-world assets (RWAs), according to the report.
This new initiative will grow Ondo's existing exposure to tokenized RWAs. Earlier this year, Ondo Finance launched a platform to give onchain exposure to U.S. securities such as stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds.
"Fundamentally, at some point, the question is going to be 'why would I hold my asset on chain versus off chain in a brokerage account?'" De Bode asked in his interview with Axios.
The push to offer users the ability to trade tokenized equities — including potentially shares of private companies — grabbed headlines this week after Robinhood announced it would allow EU users to acquire tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX. OpenAI later clarified it did not support Robinhood’s initiative. In fact, the digital tokens Robinhood offered are derivatives based on OpenAI’s valuation, rather than actual tokenized shares of the company.
Other key players interested in, or involved in, the tokenization of RWAs like equities include Injective, Plume Network, Backed, and Republic. Coinbase and Kraken are also keen to offer users tokenized stocks like Tesla and Apple.

Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
