If you're curious why 1.5 billion in tokenized t-bills moved from Ethereum L1 to Apotos, Avalanche, Polygon last week look at incentives. BUIDL fees dropped from 50 bps to 20 bps for those chains (and Solana) vs Ethereum - that's 4.5m in annualized savings on 1.5 billion. I don't have insider baseball on this but it's likely BlackRock didn't cut fees because Larry's feeling generous. A simple theory: Aptos, Polygon, Solana, Avalanche are paying BlackRock incentives for this privilege - or else, why only those chains at 20 bps while Optimism and Arbitrum are 50 bps? If you're Avalanche with rich AVAX treasury would you pay a couple million to BlackRock in exchange for #2 on the RWA t-bill charts? Wouldn't be the worst marketing dollars you've spent. And once again we see goodhart's law in crypto - when a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a good measure. RWAs without deep liquidity and DeFi ties to the underlying network are vanity metrics - they don't really need the underlying chain, there's minimal moat. If the theory is right a few lessons: - Untethered RWAs are vanity metrics - Chains are spending for these metrics - "Spending" is token sell pressure There's good BD spend and there's bad BD spend. I'm not sure this is good spend.(RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth 🦄)
