The
@infiniFi STRC situation is the most bullish thing I've watched a DeFi team do all year.
Here’s the part people should sit with: instead of praying for a price recovery, they stood up a prime-broker credit line to backstop the position. A lender-of-last-resort backstop that removes any incentive for junior depositors to run.
That’s a century-old TradFi defense mechanism. DeFi keeps rebuilding tranched structures and forgetting the machinery that protects them.
@infiniFi didn’t. It hangs like a Sword of Damocles over every future stress event, not just this one.
The lesson was never about STRC. It’s about temperament. No denial, no “wen update” silence — a decisive move that turned a controversial position into a proof of competence.
Anyone running a structured product on-chain should be studying this. infiniFi didn’t just survive a stress test.
@RobAnon and the risk team showed the space what grown-up risk management actually looks like.
Bullish on teams that operate like this.
