Have you ever thought about a question: why can't the margin we use to open contracts earn interest at the same time?🧐
I used to work for a traditional brokerage, and back then, when doing stock pledge financing, customers' stocks could be used as collateral to borrow money, and they could still hold the stocks to enjoy dividends and price increases. This is a basic operation in TradFi.
But looking at the current DEXs and even some CEXs, our USDT can either be used to open positions as margin or be invested for returns, a choice between the two. This is actually a huge waste of capital efficiency.
🌰 Here’s the simplest example:
If I have 100,000 USDT in my account and open a perpetual contract for 50,000 USDT, what about the remaining 50,000 USDT? It just sits in the account without earning a cent. You might say to transfer it to another platform for investment, but if the market fluctuates and I need to add margin, I would have to hurriedly transfer it back and miss the best opportunity.
This is the real picture of 99% of trading platforms today, where funds are constantly being moved around in different scenarios, incurring huge friction costs.
Today I noticed an action from @grvt_io, and I think this will be the real solution to the issues mentioned above 👆.
They have partnered with @centrifuge to integrate tokenized U.S. Treasuries (JTRSY) from Janus Henderson into the trading platform. Janus Henderson is a top global asset management giant, managing over 350 billion U.S. dollars. Centrifuge is an RWA infrastructure strategically invested in by Coinbase, having issued 1.8 billion U.S. dollars in tokenized assets.
🎯 The key is in the gameplay:
• Our account balance acts as margin and can simultaneously be invested in institutional-grade U.S. Treasury products to earn returns
• No need to transfer funds between multiple platforms
• Investment starting from just 1 U.S. dollar, with no thresholds
• Self-custody, assets are always in our own hands
This reminds me of Buffett's classic idea: let every penny work.
In traditional finance, banks like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs automatically sweep customer cash accounts into money market funds, wasting no idle penny. But in the crypto world, after so many years, we are still stuck in a fragmented state of “trading is trading, investment is investment.”
#GRVT is actually doing one thing this time: bringing the mature capital management logic from traditional finance onto the chain.
And they have big ambitions, as CEO @hong_grvt clearly stated:
"I have been in the capital market for ten years, and one pain point has always existed: investors are forced to separate trading capital from investment capital. The composability of blockchain changes everything."
One Balance. Infinite Productivity.
One account balance can be leveraged, earn treasury returns, and can also be used for collateralized borrowing at any time. This is the true productivity of capital.
GRVT is currently built on ZKSync, having processed 30 billion U.S. dollars in transaction volume, and besides cryptocurrencies, it supports perpetual contracts for stocks, commodities, and ETFs.
This integration is just the beginning; they said more RWA yield products will be integrated by 2026. I judge that this direction is completely correct; the future trading platform will not simply be an "exchange" but a "wealth management center on the chain."
Trading, investment, returns, the three are one.
Whoever successfully implements this model will dominate the entrance to the next era.
This is the real moat.🧐 Looking forward to it!
