Grove's $1B Allocation, Dinari's US Stocks, Tokenized SpaceX & More

Summary and Key Takeaways

1. Grove’s $1B Allocation for Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Strategy

That’s right, a billion with a b. Just like that we have seen another RWA hit the nine zeroes mark and it did with style! Powered by Centrifuge’s tech, the Anemoy fund managed by $330B+ AUM Janus Henderson was also a winner in the Grand Prix RWA competition by Sky/ Maker, which Grove is a part of as its decentralized credit infrastructure. Centrifuge also recently launched deRWA vaults for its RWAs too making it clear that the most successful tokenization companies are the ones that are building vertically-integrated ecosystems. Makes you wonder if Centrifuge never brought in Janus Henderson last year,  if they would have still had the same success. Will more latecomer asset managers look for similar partnerships?

2. Tokenized Stock Updates: Dinari’s US Broker Dealer License and Superstate’s New Onboard

Tokenized stocks are making a quick comeback from back in 2021’s FTX days. People worldwide have been participating via venues like Dinari, Swarm, and Backed to name a few. Basically everyone except U.S. investors could participate… until now. Last week Dinari was granted the first broker dealer license to offer tokenized stocks to U.S. investors, beating Robinhood, Coinbase, and others to the punch. Even Kraken’s partnership with Backed (great one) is also just for non-US investors. Why does this matter? Yes U.S. investors have easier access to stocks, however they should also have the opportunity to have their assets onchain and use them in DeFi applications for collateral mobility, leverage, and other perks.

Dinari’s not the only U.S. company with updates in this asset class though! Earlier this year Superstate announced that they’re expanding from treasuries and funds to tokenized stocks through their Opening Bell platform, with SOL Strategies being their first client. This week we heard of their second: Upexi (NADAQ: UPXI). The consumer products company also has a large SOL treasury, as of June 24 holding 735,692 SOL, making this move more closely aligned. Tokenized stocks are coming onchain faster meaning the next step (DeFi vault) is also coming. With that in mind, there’s plenty of plumbing (back and middle office) to enhance with the blockchain if tokenized stocks are going to truly make markets more efficient and be interoperable with them.

3. Republic’s SpaceX Mirror Tokens

Public companies aren’t the only ones being tokenized, pre-IPO shares have been getting tokenized for a while now too just as we’ve seen with companies like Aktionariat and Orderbook. There are big, household name companies that investors would LOVE exposure to yet is hard to achieve but Republic is changing that with their mirror tokens. They just announced they’re opening access to SpaceX through an interesting model. Instead of tokenizing the shares, Republic is offering debt securities entitling the investor to a payout after a liquidity event (IPO, acquisition, etc.). These rSpaceX tokens now have a waitlist at a $50 minimum as they “test the waters” in this RegCF offering, allowing investors (U.S. and non-U.S.) to participate whether retail or accredited.

What other companies could do this? Republic is teasing cool ones like Revolut, Anthropic (Claude AI), Epic Games, Stripe, and more! Let us know what YOU would like to see on Monday’s Onchain at 11am ET!

4. SPiCE VC Executes Third Investor Payout Exemplifying Tokenized Fund Capability

Here’s one of the pioneers in the tokenization space! SPiCE VC is one of the few tokenized venture capital firms, believing early on in this space as both an allocator and issuer. That has proven to pay dividends (literally) with their imminent third investor payout. According to the press release, “SPiCE’s total payouts to investors now exceed 2.1x DPI (Distributions to Paid-In Capital)-more than double what even top decile early-stage VC funds typically return by year seven.” This is reflective of quality investments Tal Elyashiv and team have made including Securitize, Blockdaemon, Ripio, and thankfully STM.co. 

5. Canton Network (Digital Asset) Secures $135 Million Funding

What do Goldman Sachs, Citi Ventures, BNP Paribas, Citadel Securities, Circle Ventures, Paxos and the DTCC all have in common? They’re now all shareholders of Digital Asset! The Canton Network’s privacy-first, institutional-grade blockchain has skyrocketed into the big leagues with one of the biggest warchests and elite investor groups around. It’s not surprising given that they’ve already announced huge milestones and customers, on track to bring hundreds of billions in RWAs already. Two of those being Nasdaq and QCP just after this announcement. Catch the TokenizeThis panel featuring Digital Asset co-founder on permissioned v public blockchains here.

STM.co Data

This week we decided to exclude real estate as individual properties make up all the top losses, however it’s something of note for those looking to invest in the asset class (not financial advice). Looking at the top gainers and losers of the week, Swarm did well in showing up on both sides, with more gains than losses. That being said, Orderbook hosted a big swing for Scale AI with their price rising from $3.52 to $7.55 on 6/25 and staying there. Why are people interested in Scale AI? The start up specialises in data labelling, which helps companies like Lyft, OpenAI, Zoox, Pinterest and Airbnb to focus on product development. 

tZERO also saw a decent spike on Friday, growing their price from $3.05 to $3.50. Let us know your thoughts on these movements on Monday’s Onchain and the stats YOU would like us to show.

Think Like Herwig

Hello readers,

Here at STM.co we feel pretty vindicated to see Brian Armstrong of Coinbase agree that the way to say onchain does not require a space or a hyphen. Why anyone thought it would be different than saying ‘online’ is beyond me but it goes to show you how far we still have to go for mainstream adoption to occur for the word. 

And speaking of adoption the $135M for Canton Network was like a who’s who of prominent Wall Street firms and VCs alike. That kind of firepower illustrates how far along the industry has come. Grove is set to also become a major player in onchain credit with an allocation of $1 Billion showing the world just how easy and fast RWAs can (and will) grow. As we enter Q3, prepare for more tokenized public equities, private credit, yieldcoins, and vaults and DeFi underpinning it all. Stay tuned for major RWA Foundation news soon!

Happy tokenizing,

STM.co is proud to release a thorough report on our prediction on the tokenized real world asset market growth. This report explores the variety of opportunities within each asset class to capture value on-chain.

Tokenization can be applied to just about any object and asset type. Art, carbon credits, life insurance, and other sub $5 trillion asset classes weren’t even considered in estimates.
