~ @FalconStable just took another big step in bridging TradFi and DeFi! Falcon has officially integrated tokenized stocks and gold! Now you can earn yield with real assets like Tesla, Nvidia and gold all inside their ecosystem. 🧵✍️ Let’s dive in and talk about why this update matters: 1) Falcon started as a DeFi project, At first, they focused mostly on crypto assets, blue chip tokens such as BTC and ETH. Now they are becoming a universal collateralization layer, a system that lets any asset (crypto or real-world) be used to earn yield onchain 2) The latest updates: > xStocks (BackedFi): tokenized stocks like Tesla, Nvidia, S&P500 > Tether Gold (XAUt): current largest and most liquid gold-backed token And both of them have been integrated as collaterals with Falcon. So now, not just crypto, even real-world assets can work for you in DeFi. 3) This is where it gets interesting: This integration means, you can now use both tokenized stocks and gold to earn onchain yield. Hold TSLAx (Tesla) or XAUt (Tether Gold) mint USDF, and stake it to start earning. > xStocks are backed by real shares like Tesla and Nvidia, fully audited and regulated. > XAUt is backed by physical gold, adding real-world value to every transaction. 4) Basically Falcon turns “unproductive” assets like gold or stocks into productive ones. By using tokenized assets to mint and stake, you can make them work for you and earn yield with USD, Falcon’s overcollateralized synthetic dollar pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. You can also explore other DeFi strategies along the line to maximize your yield with USDf through Money Markets & Yield Tokenization protocols like Pendle. This makes it easy for anyone to tap into both TradFi and DeFi. Gold and stocks can now earn yield onchain, and access is no longer limited to institutions, anyone can join in. 5) Some quick numbers: > USDf supply: $2B+ > Reserves: $2.16B+ (audited quarterly) > RWA onchain value: $30B+ > Tether Gold market cap: $1B+ These are not small numbers. Falcon’s building real liquidity backed by real assets. 6) USDf is the backbone of it all: Falcon’s synthetic dollarstablecoin, USDf is the core engine behind it all. It’s fully backed, tested during volatile markets and used for all yield activities on the platform. 7) All assets, one system: With gold, stocks and crypto all earning together, Falcon’s creating a new kind of financial system: one that brings real assets onchain and makes them actually work for you, a universal collaterlization layer.. It’s simple: yield from the real world, powered by DeFi. 8) This bridge between TradFi and DeFi is now live! @FalconStable x @xStocksFi x @BackedFi You can check it out: - - 9) My thoughts: I’ve been following Falcon for a while now and honestly, they’ve been delivering step by step. Each update feels more solid than the last and this move proves they’re thinking long term. They’re building real infrastructure and watching them grow like this has been impressive and I feel like they’re only getting started. Much respect to the team 🫡
