Proud to see @avax team on the NYSE-affiliated platform @tzero is partnering on as well, and as a key tech layer for our @Lynq_Network platform. Congratulations.
BREAKING: Upcoming NYSE-affiliated tokenized securities platform’s core clearing and settlement layer will be built on top of Avalanche technology.
Avalanche will support the platform’s clearing firm, supporting the development of infrastructure for 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement.
A landmark step toward the next generation of global financial markets.

This shift in market dynamics perfectly underscores why @tZERO Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) stack is positioned to capture the bond market.
🚨 Everyone is watching the wrong bubble.
And missing the greatest opportunity in 40 years because of it.
While the crowd argues about AI and crypto, the real story is the asset sitting in every "safe" portfolio on earth.
Bonds.
The 1981 top printed 14% yields. The 2020 bottom printed 0%. That was 39 years of falling rates, and it ended in a single Covid panic.
Covid was the turn. Rates hit zero, the system flooded itself with liquidity, and the 40-year bull in bonds quietly ended in the very moment everyone felt rescued.
That's reflexivity in the Soros sense. For four decades, falling yields lifted every asset, which convinced everyone yields would keep falling, which lifted assets again. Belief and reality reinforced each other all the way down to zero. Then the loop turned. And here's the part almost no one has grasped: a turn this big isn't the end of the game. It's the start of a far better one.
Here's why I'm genuinely excited.
For 40 years, falling rates lifted everything together. Correlations converged. The tide carried every boat, so owning the whole ocean beat knowing which boat was seaworthy. Index beat judgment. Skill was a rounding error.
That era is over, and what replaces it is the best environment for active investing in two generations.
When the secular tide reverses, dispersion comes roaring back. Winners and losers split apart violently. Suddenly the things that were invisible for 40 years, valuation, balance-sheet quality, real cash flow, pricing power, decide everything. The gap between the great business and the mediocre one stops being a footnote and becomes the whole return.
This is the world that made Buffett, Lynch, and Templeton. It's the world before 1981, where picking actually paid. It's coming back.
And it arrives at the most lopsided starting line imaginable, which is exactly what makes the opportunity so rich.
Concentration at a record. A handful of names carrying the entire index. Record IPOs listing at peak valuations and getting forced straight into peak index weights through mechanical, price-insensitive buying. The passive bid that everyone treats as ballast has become the marginal price-setter at the worst possible altitude.
JPMorgan's own Guide to the Markets makes the setup clear. Map starting valuation against subsequent ten-year returns, and today's level points to roughly zero percent per year from the S&P over the coming decade.
Sit with that. Zero from the broad index for ten years.
Now flip it over. If the average is zero, the spread around that average is enormous. Some things compound beautifully. Others go nowhere or worse. A flat index for a decade isn't a dead market. It's the richest hunting ground for active investors in living memory, because the distance between right and wrong has never paid more.
The whole architecture of modern investing was engineered for the era that just ended.
- Buy stocks and chill. Built on a discount rate going one direction. Down.
- The 60/40. Built on bonds rallying whenever equities fell.
- Just buy the ETF. Built on a 40-year tailwind no one managing money today has ever seen reverse.
That's the trap. And the mirror image of every trap is an opening for the people who see it first.
Strauss and Howe gave this moment a name. The Fourth Turning. The last of the four cycles, the Crisis, when the institutions built for the old era meet the conditions of the new one. These turns feel like danger to everyone clinging to the last playbook. They are the launchpad for everyone holding the next one.
The tide is turning. The old map is worthless.
And the greatest opportunity of our generation is hiding in plain sight, inside the thing everyone still calls safe.

Imagine owning a $1M commercial property and wanting to borrow $300K against it.
Today, that can mean weeks of paperwork, appraisals, title searches, legal agreements, underwriting, and coordinating between lenders, custodians, and registries.
Here's what that process looks like:
TODAY:
1. Find a lender willing to accept the asset as collateral.
2. Submit ownership documents and financial information.
3. Get the asset independently appraised.
4. The lender performs due diligence and underwriting.
5. Lawyers establish the lien or security interest.
6. The collateral is registered, pledged, or placed under the lender's control.
7. Once everything clears, the loan is funded.
8. Throughout the loan, the lender monitors the collateral and may require updated valuations.
Now let's imagine that property is represented by a legally enforceable token.
WITH TOKENIZED RWAs:
1. The asset is tokenized, with ownership and legal rights linked to the underlying property.
2. The token is held in a compatible custody solution or pledged to a lending protocol.
3. Verified asset data and valuation feeds inform the lender's collateral assessment.
4. The lender determines the loan-to-value ratio and approves the terms.
5. A smart contract can lock or restrict transfer of the collateral token.
6. Loan proceeds can be disbursed digitally, potentially in stablecoins.
7. The loan, collateral position, and repayment status can be monitored onchain.
8. Once repaid, the collateral is released. If the borrower defaults, enforcement follows the agreed legal and contractual process.
The biggest shift here? Collateral becomes easier to verify, transfer, monitor, and potentially use across lending markets.
An asset that might have been sitting idle in a traditional ownership structure could become productive capital.
This applies to far more than real estate: private credit, treasuries, funds, commodities, infrastructure, and other assets with verifiable ownership and enforceable rights.
Tokenization isn't just simply about putting assets onchain for no reason, it's about making those assets usable across financial markets.
The next evolution of RWAs is credit.
So did it take 36 hours for the markets digest what happened Tuesday?

Dear Customer,
As you know, tZERO, through its broker-dealer subsidiaries tZERO Securities, LLC (“tZERO Securities”) and tZERO Digital Asset Securities, LLC (“tZERO Digital”), has been proud to support a wide range of broker-dealer services, including trading, custody, clearance and settlement. Beginning in 2024, the full breadth of our current offerings was made possible by our operation of both tZERO Securities and tZERO Digital in parallel, as each had licenses to provide distinct services to our customers. Since revised regulatory guidance in December 2025, though, tZERO Digital (which once operated as the second-ever special purpose broker-dealer in accordance with a December 2020 statement on digital asset broker-dealers) has been able to operate a full suite of broker-dealer services. Therefore, in order to streamline our organization and to make the tZERO broker-dealer experience as seamless as possible, we will now operate the entire broker-dealer business out of tZERO Digital.
tZERO Digital will be the new home of all of our broker-dealer operations, including our alternative trading system (ATS), our custody business, and, importantly, all of our customer accounts. To facilitate the transition, we will transfer all existing tZERO Securities customers to tZERO Digital, where they will continue to have access to the same tZERO services.
Read the regulatory notice below to learn more, including your right to opt out of being a tZERO Digital customer.
As always, email us at [email protected] you have any questions. We look forward to continuing our journey of innovation with you.
Sincerely,
tZERO Securities
I wanted to see what @Securitize redemption rate was compared to what @tZERO could be and the difference is stark. I suspect that @Alan_Konevsky and team will announce some additional partnerships that will lower redemption rate but it’s all speculation for now. DCM will have an impact
