🔮 "My view is in ten to fifteen years, all money's going to be on-chain." — Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs @0xPolygon @0xMarcB Why? Because regulated, permissioned systems may be a bridge, but they're not the destination. In this episode of the Gate Ventures Podcast, we explore how a chain once known for being "fast and cheap" is evolving into the Open Money Stack, a fully vertically integrated, blockchain-based payments company. We also cover: 🔹 Marc's journey from law firm partner to Chief Legal Officer at dYdX and CEO of Polygon Labs 🔹 The strategy behind Polygon's acquisition of Coinme and Sequence 🔹 USDT on Tron or Polygon? Why users may not actually care 🔹 When will banks lose their dominance over money movement? 🔹 The biggest alpha: Polygon already powers 97%-99% of all x402 agentic payment transactions Watch the full episode now on Gate Ventures' YouTube & Spotify! 🎧YouTube: 🎧 Spotify: 🔎 Medium:

We know the Memestocks play on @RobinhoodApp Chain went viral, but how do these stock tokens actually work? Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited (RHJ) issues them as ERC-20 tokenized debt securities. They provide exposure to the underlying stock’s price, but do not represent direct ownership or grant shareholder rights. Bitstamp Global Limited (BBVI), acquired by Robinhood, is the sole Authorized Participant. Only KYB-approved APs can mint and redeem stock tokens directly with RHJ; Regular users and developers can only buy existing tokens on the secondary market.

Gate Ventures Podcast | Episode 13 Beyond the Dollar: Inside Plume's Institutional Open Finance Playbook 🌟Guest: Chris Yin, Co-founder & CEO of Plume @plumenetwork @chriseyin 🎤Host: Tiffany Chang, Gate Ventures @hella_tifficult Almost everything onchain today is denominated in USD. But if RWAs are going to carry real institutional volume, the rails have to work for the assets institutions actually hold — and for the currencies they actually hold them in. Our guest Chris Yin, Co-founder & CEO of Plume, joins us to unpack how Plume went from an RWA chain to the platform institutions issue and distribute through — and why the licenses, not the tech, decide who gets to build next. We'll cover: 🔹 What "Open Finance for institutional assets" really means — and why Plume shifted from RWA chain to issuance & distribution platform 🔹 Why an SEC transfer-agent registration and a DTCC working group seat are the licenses that decide who builds next-gen securities infrastructure 🔹 How the Shinhan MOU opens RWA's non-dollar chapter — and what it takes to bring Korean Won assets onchain 🔹 Why the hard part is matching supply with distribution — connecting institutional credit to crypto-native users 🔹 How Plume Vaults turns strategies once reserved for large allocators into products anyone can hold, borrow against, and trade 🗓️August 19, 2026, 11 AM – 12 PM UTC | 7 – 8 PM GMT+8 📍LIVE on Gate Ventures' X, Set your reminder 👇

Gate Ventures Podcast | Episode 5 Planning Before an Exploit: Risk Thinking in Modern DeFi Monet Supply @MonetSupply — Head of Strategy at Spark @sparkfinance and former risk consultant at Block Analytica — for a deep dive into what's actually broken in DeFi today. They get into why the biggest exploits stopped being smart contract bugs, why he checks liquidity before he checks yield, and how institutions moving $10M–$100M at a time should think about putting capital on-chain. Key takeaways: 💡 The yield story is over — DeFi went from "a few percent above risk-free" two to three years ago to roughly matching T-bill rates today. The new value prop is liquidity, speed, and access 💡 Liquidity is the first metric he checks every morning: if liquidity closes, the exit door closes — and at institutional size, the exit door is the whole trade 💡 The risk has moved: DeFi Summer was re-entrancy bugs, today it's key management. Oracles, bridges, multi-sigs, and custody all collapse into the same question — who holds the keys 💡 Defense in layers: rate limits on price oracles so a feed can't print infinity or zero, time locks to buy reaction time, and moats instead of a single point of failure Now on YouTube & Spotify! 🔹 YouTube: 🔹 Spotify: #DeFi# #RWA# #RWAStack# #Spark# #CeDeFi# #KeyManagement# #Oracles# #Bridges# #RiskManagement# #Stablecoins# #Tokenization# #Web3# #OnChainFinance#

Gate Ventures Podcast | Episode 9 Topic: Moving Wall Street Onchain: Inside Superstate's $700T Bet 🌟Guest: Jim Hiltner, Co-founder of Superstate @SuperstateInc @HiltnerJim 🎤Host: Tiffany Chang, Gate Ventures @hella_tifficult Wall Street runs on $700T of assets — and almost none of it settles onchain. Superstate is betting that the way to change that isn't wrapping securities in synthetic tokens, but making real, legally recognized equity live natively onchain. Our guest Jim Hiltner, Co-founder of Superstate, joins us to unpack how Opening Bell, the Direct Issuance Program, and FundOS come together to rebuild capital-markets infrastructure from the ground up. We'll cover: 🔹What makes Opening Bell shares legally real equity — and what that means for issuers 🔹Why tokenizing real securities is the only version institutions & regulators will accept 🔹How Direct Issuance changes the pitch to fundraising companies 🔹Bridging TradFi & DeFi — the same share settling onchain, serving as collateral, staying fully compliant 🔹What it takes to move names like Invesco & Coinbase from "interested" to live on FundOS 🔹Why this is about rebuilding capital-markets infrastructure, not just digitizing assets July 15, 2026, 7 – 8 PM PST (UTC-8) July 16, 2026,11 AM – 12 PM (GMT+8) LIVE on Gate Ventures' X, Set your reminder 👇

@Pendle ’s beta didn’t end with point farming. The source of demand is simply shifting: from airdrop leverage to real yield trading, with RWA assets becoming an increasingly important yield engine. This is where Pendle stands out — not as a points-farming venue, but as the yield distribution layer institutional capital actually needs. 97% of its top 10 TVL is now RWA-backed. That’s not a coincidence. Our latest read on why Pendle matters for institutional DeFi 👇 🔗
