XMAQUINA already holds stakes in several robotics companies, and RCM would let the DAO create tradable onchain markets around those holdings, improving access and liquidity while generating recurring fees.
From the Pool to the Real World
Hydration Referendum 251, if passed, will remove 930K aUSDT and 931K aUSDC in protocol-owned liquidity from the money market, preparing it for reallocation toward new RWA opportunities. As a positive side effect, this will also result in higher APRs for stablecoin liquidity suppliers.
HOLLARin’ for Cashflow
Furthering talks of a shift to RWA assets, a discussion has opened on the Hydration Subsquare about integrating Decentral, a stablecoin protocol that advances payments on receivables to improve business cash flow. By tapping HOLLAR supply, Decentral could provide yields of 18% APR for 60-day minimum investment periods.
A Shielded Step Forward
Kusama Referendum 631, if passed, will top up Bounty 32, which funds RFP #1 - Shielded Kusama Hub Transfers. If passed, 10.7K KSM will be allocated to advance Kusama Shield to v2, a stable release adding features such as MetaMask support and anonymous gifting, additionally targeting inclusion in Ethereum’s upcoming Kohaku privacy SDK.
