From RWA to Crypto Native
summary
MakerDAO moves from opaque, slow T‑bill setups that deliver about 3.5% yield (not the hoped 5%) and take weeks to redeem, to second‑gen tokenized shares that unlock roughly $126M RWA revenue against $172M crypto revenue and fund pools of ~\$500–600M each (BlackRock, Ando, Franklin). Chronicle supplies oracles to stream on‑chain asset data so protocols can do automated rebalances and risk rules, pointing to a true token is the asset model where ownership, liquidity and transparency live natively on chain.
