The most unrealized aspect of DeFi in the past decade is not revenue, but access.
There is never a shortage of high APY on the chain.
What is truly lacking is whether ordinary people can access more mature credit assets and institutional return strategies like pension funds, private banks, and family offices.
It was difficult in the past.
Six digit minimum subscription, qualified investor threshold, long-term lock up, complex account system
High quality returns are not non-existent, but you can see them but cannot buy them.
So a very awkward fact is:
The assets have been put on the chain, but the access has not been truly put on the chain.
This is what I think is worth seeing about @ grvt_io's launch of Grvt Invest RWA Vault.
Not because 4.5% or 11% is too exaggerated, but because it has started to turn the risk return curve in traditional finance into an on chain product that ordinary users can access from $1 and choose according to their risk preferences.
1. Balanced: Target annualized rate of approximately 4.5%
The underlying layer provides exposure to the AAA CLO ETF actively managed by BlackRock.
Simply put, CLO is a credit product that is based on a corporate loan pool and layered according to the order of repayment; AAA gear has a higher priority and usually bears losses later, but of course, it does not mean capital preservation or zero risk.
BlackRock's positioning for this ETF is also to seek current income and capital preservation through US dollar denominated AAA CLO, and to conduct active credit screening.
Many people feel that 4.5% is not sexy enough when they see it.
But the problem is that returns can never be compared separately from underlying risks.
The 4.5% of AAA credit products and the 11% generated through token subsidies and revolving loans are not the same thing at all.
Opportunistic: Target annualization of approximately 11%
The underlying layer of this file is BlackOpal's credit card payment accounts receivable, and the related payments are settled through Visa and Mastercard networks.
In other words, the source of revenue is directed towards cash flows from payments and accounts receivable in the real world, rather than solely relying on coin issuance subsidies. BlackOpal primarily engages in short-term payment financing, covering assets such as credit card accounts receivable, invoice financing, and cross-border payments.
Of course, high returns do not appear out of thin air.
11% corresponds to more complex credit, structure, liquidity, and market risks, and cannot be regarded as a bank deposit interest rate.
Visa and Mastercard are related settlement networks and do not represent guarantees for principal or earnings.
What is truly lacking on the chain is a normal risk curve
The logic behind many DeFi financial products in the past was:
A pool, an APY, a group of people rushing together.
But normal asset allocation should be:
First ask yourself what risks you are willing to take, and then see what benefits you can get.
Combined with the original Delta neutral GLP, Grvt Invest has now formed three different directions:
GLP: Market making income in the cryptocurrency market
Balanced: Relatively stable RWA credit returns
Opportunistic: Payment of accounts receivable with higher returns and higher risks
This is not simply adding two more vaults, but starting to move risk stratification and portfolio selection onto the chain.
GRVT is no longer just an exchange
A regular exchange usually only creates value when you trade.
But the goal of wealth platforms is to keep funds working as much as possible even when you are not trading.
The long-term direction of GRVT is to integrate Earn, Invest, and Trade into the same balance and asset system; Furthermore, provide investment assets with collateral and trading purposes.
The latter part still depends on the actual product rhythm, and the roadmap cannot be regarded as a function that has already been implemented.
But the path is already clear:
Trading is just one way of capital appreciation, not the only way.
What GRVT wants to do is to minimize the movement and idle of the same fund between returns, investments, and transactions.
one-sentence summary
The first half of DeFi solved:
Can assets be put on the chain.
What needs to be addressed in the second half is:
Can ordinary people hold institutional assets at a low threshold, and can these assets continue to improve capital efficiency.
So Grvt Invest is not just a simple APY round this time.
What it really rolls up is:
Underlying assets, risk stratification, and who is eligible to participate.
