BREAKING: @Schroders, one of the largest asset managers in the world, is bringing an emerging markets debt fund to Solana with @centrifuge. Their first fund on Solana, and $1.1 trillion in assets under management behind it.

Days after @solana's biggest-ever consensus upgrade went live, Anza CEO Brennan Watt says the chain's real moat is usage, and new chains will struggle to catch it: "When you look at Solana's moat, I think the moat is really usage. People know, developers know that when they launch on Solana, they're launching into an existing user base that is excited to try new products with low friction because my assets are already sitting here. All I need to do is connect my wallet and away I go. I don't have much friction... And so you have that in a box on Solana, which is pretty cool. It's really hard to launch a new chain and get enough breakaway momentum to do stuff." — @bw_solana, CEO of @anza_xyz, with @IOV_OWL on @Genfinity
