Just imagine what happens when you bring tried and tested defi concepts and protocols to the mass market.
You don’t need degen 40x looping to make Tradfi salivate for yield on growth (eg $TSLA) or private stocks (eg OpenAI) - the mere possibility of a couple of percent supersedes their risk perception.
RWAs are the gateway to crypto making it into the mainstream.
That’s a billion real users in the bag virtually overnight.

RWA looping is not new, but everyone’s suddenly realizing how big the demand will be.
Great teams recognized this long before CT’s recent light bulb moment, and have been working on it, some for years!
In this upcoming mania of demand for RWAs, @GearboxProtocol should almost rebrand to RWAbox—it has the most powerful calibrated tools onchain to achieve looping exposure but ironic ly you don’t actually loop.
Instead, they give you credit accounts so you can skip the gas costs and transactions and achieve the same net exposure as RWA looping (ie 7x @avantprotocol savUSD/USDC).
Gearbox introduced Credit Accounts years ago, but they were so far ahead of the times. The demand to loop wasn’t there without reliable yield-bearing collateral and growing confidence in few stablecoins and pegged assets. But times have caught up, and thankfully they kept building on these Credit Accounts for leveraged exposure.
Gearbox has its own liquidity you borrow from, but combined with their Credit Account, they’ll allow yo

Oracles are the most nuanced aspect of a lending protocol. Get them wrong and you risk bad-debt and hacks.
But get them right and you unlock better lending UX while reducing risks. Learn how Gearbox's oracle design makes lending safer from @deepcryptodive and @DeFi_Dad ↓ https://t.co/OSmq7paT2s
