it's still difficult to wrap my head around how monumental this is

Re@re
$100M is currently in transit from our liquid backing to our supporting reinsurance company. Funds are to be routed safely into trust to back diversified insurance business. Dashboards will temporarily show a dip. This will be reflected as off-chain capital shortly. This is a unique moment in reinsurance history, and the first event of its kind at this scale.

New reUSD vaults are now live on Ethereum. 🌊
@re just found its best home: deep liquidity, best borrowing conditions, and Smart Liquidity architecture working for every depositor.

@D2_Finance @0xWismerhill @smykjain @grok Put 5m down. Listen to us talk all day about how we don't write weather or quake unlike our onchain contemporaries. Put another 50m down. Tell your grandchildren about how their grandchildren are set for life.

Amen 🙏
Fully aligned on that. We will keep an eye on it; we might allocate some capital to RWA products in the future once we see the adoption post-TGE. It definitely seems more interesting than most things I’ve seen in the RWA space: which honestly should just be renamed 'TradFi looking for exit liquidity' in most cases! 🤣
English
It's been a long time, old friends. Mostly because there was no alpha to share, or only cap-restrained alpha. But today, there is ALPHA.
Introducing reUSD positive carry + TGE upside.
reUSD has just been added as collateral on Fluid. And it's magnificent.
Fluid is the first of many lending protocols that will allow you to borrow against reUSD at market borrow rate. Until now, it was only available on Morpho where predatory curators maintained the borrowing rate near reUSD yield level. Now, you can fully enjoy reUSD positive carry by borrowing USDT and USDC at market (Aave/Fluid) rate. I've heard from reliable sources that it will soon be listed on many other lending venues, with more cheap borrowing. APR goes brrrr.
What's reUSD? Ask your AI docs.re.xyz/insurance-capi….
Why I like it:
1) Low backing risk: minted capital sits idle in sUSDe, they keep some reserves in USDC for instant redemptions
2) It's a senior tranche to a mezzanine and junior - junior: $73M, mezzanine (reUSDe): $13M, senior (reUSD): $136M; Re reinsures low volatility insurance portfolios, not catastrophies
3) Yield is above market rate: sUSDe + 2.5%
4) Not another RWA loanbook scam
5) Profitable protocol
6) TGE!!!
Re currently runs a pre-TGE points campaign. I think it's very well worth participating. It's the icing on the cake. You can enjoy positive carry and upside from its upcoming TGE. In my opinion, it's one of the rare TGEs that can do well regardless of the market conditions, because it doesn't care about them: it's tradfi doing an IPO on-chain.
To give you some comparables:
> High-growth AI insurance platforms are valued 8-15x written premium
> Insurtech platforms are valued 5-10x written premium
With $337M written premium in force, Re would be valued between $1.6B and $5B.
Caveat: the protocol doesn't earn 100% of the revenue like a reinsurer, because this revenue goes to the reinsurance business while Re protocol is the layer that connects capital to reinsurers. So you need (and I too) to temper your expectations. Nonetheless, it's valuable, and I will keep digging for comparables.
They still have some work to do to make this easier to digest for the common mortals:
1) Better reinsurance book transparency - historic performance, schedules, etc.
2) Clearer debt tranching and capital exposure risk - especially for the junior tranche that sits off-chain and is mostly team-owned
3) Tokenomics and protocol's reinsurance premiums revenue-share in due time
Bullish. Send it.

@D2_Finance @0xWismerhill @smykjain @grok Yup ymmv and looping is not for everyone. Not all 20%+ APR is created equal.
English
Yeah as standalone product seems fine RWAs ( especially compare what we have seen 🤣), and the straight yield might be attractive if you believe the <1% risk estimate (which is possibly accurate).
However, looping introduces path dependency for a tail risk that can’t really be modeled just by looking at the documentation.
We know all CT are all users reinsurance experts (which we aren't) but converting a variable rate to a fixed rate without sufficient liquidity has ended poorly in many cases aside underlying is super liquid.
English
Yes the underlying reinsurance carries risk. But it's not transient hype, it's a permanent going concern producing profits.
The business operates on 5x leverage. Each dollar of reUSD supports 5 dollars of reinsurance premium. That means the ~650 yield on reUSD is supported by 130 bps of margin on the reinsurance business. Re's reinsurance business produces 12 dollars of margin per 100 dollars of premium.
The RWA class tokens all carry some form of asset or operating risk. reUSD is no exception. But reUSD is senior to other capital in the reinsurance company and supports low volatility insurance business. Likelihood of capital impairment models out to be < 1%.
English
@0xWismerhill @smykjain @grok @grok sounds clear that reinsurance carries variable risk.
You can’t truly promise a fixed spread unless there’s a mechanism we’re missing that accounts for every scenario.
Therefore, it isn't ideal for looping; the 'unknown unknown' risk seems high.
English
We primarily write quota share reinsurance (think of it as a pro rata slice of an insurance company's income statement). Notional insured values can be multiples of premium, but since we reinsure the entire insurer and not just their large claims, the appropriate measure is combined ratio because of the law of large numbers.
Our combined ratio is 92% on our entire portfolio. This means $8 of profit remains on every $100 of premium after claims and expenses are paid. There is uncertainty in this estimate, but the volatility around this estimate is low. Far lower compared to reinsuring earthquakes and hurricanes.
This estimate is also corroborated by our insurance company customers and auditors.
These are good questions and we're planning for future disclosures around our estimates and third party views of our book. Stay tuned!
English
@karnsaroya Thank you for addressing this, you could have easily ignored my question.
Is there a way to see the notional value insured vs. premium written? It has been hard to assess the risk of entering reUSD without knowing what potential claims are vs. current premium written.
English
25% APR stablecoin loops on @0xfluid!
reUSD markets just went live on Fluid. reUSD earns 6.1% APR natively, and you can loop it by borrowing at 3.24% APR. At 87% LTV it's a 25% APR loop - one of the best stablecoin loops out there right now on size.
reUSD deposited into Fluid earns 5x re points. Multiplied by 7.69 leverage when max looped that's 38x re points on your net deposit.
reUSD can be instantly minted and redeemed when you pass KYC on app.re.xyz/reusd
reUSD on Fluid uses a fundamental oracle that tracks the daily reUSD NAV updates. It does not use the spot price which makes it safer for loopers.
The reUSD-USDT LP unfortunately hit the borrow cap. It earns 20x re points. Fully leveraged, it's a 10% APR loop that earns 20 * 7.69 = 153x points. Worth keeping an eye on if you're farming @re points.
Disclosure: I work at @re.

Yields fueled by a business that is not impacted by crypto fervor. LARPing as a crypto day trader is fun until it's not, put some @re in your portfolio so you can sleep a little easier at night.
Carson@0x_carson
If you want to actually diversify your portfolio with HIGH stablecoin yields read this post. I have recently got excited about a new protocol to ape into. And it's not for the reasons you might think. @re is a re-insurance RWA protocol. You can read into what re-insurance is on your own time. But if you deposit into their reUSDe asset, you money goes into real financial companies providing a real financial service, and you get back the returns. This service is a type of insurance (insuring insurance companies). What you really want to hear is that this yields 12% + points. And on Pendle? Forgetaboutit. You're earning nearly 20% by LPing. But if it's not just the yield I'm excited about with @re then what is it? Well there's a concept in Modern Portfolio Theory that the way to optimally diversify a portfolio is not just to invest in lower risk assets. But to invest in un-coorelated assets. If you diversify your BTC portfolio by investing into something like Ethena, which makes it's money trading BTC basis trades, are you really diversified away from BTC? No. You're just earning less risk/reward. But reUSDe spiked my interest because unlike most things in crypto it doesn't just trace back to BTC. Hurricanes don't care about BTC price and that's the kind of stuff that re-insurance moves on. Look at this chart: You can see that Ethena's sUSDe is still correlated 40% to BTC movement. While reUSDe is hardly correlated at all! This is real de-risking. Because this means it's much more likely that if your BTC or sUSDe is down, your reUSDe isn't down for the same reasons. This means that you can get double digit stablecoin yield while also actually managing risk like a real portfolio manager! Note this is not financial advice. I vibe coded that chart with data Claude looked up; if you trade based off of what I say you are a silly goose. Also @re please sponsor me.

This is not entirely fair to mutuals. Carrier pigeons are an extremely reliable method for First Notice Of Loss.

@kenodnb @_SmokinTed @re we work with major fronts and insurers! info is public in US P&C Annual Statement schedule F filings but happy to share in greater detail
English
@_SmokinTed @re They don’t publish specific insurer names.
Capital is deployed across licensed U.S. insurance programs by sector like homeowners, commercial auto, workers comp, etc... via regulated trusts and surplus notes.

Reinsurance is a multi-trillion-dollar market that has paid steady cash for decades.
Now you can earn those returns onchain.
@re has the product that every yield farmer will love.
Everything you need to know about Re Protocol and its double-digit, DeFi composable yields.

Re spent 2025 proving that reinsurance can operate transparently onchain, with real counterparties, real premiums, and disciplined underwriting. 2026 is about scaling that foundation responsibly. Onchain finance only works long-term when trust and verification come first.

How is Re Protocol tokenizing cash flows from the trillion-dollar reinsurance market?
@re Protocol brings returns from the trillion-dollar reinsurance market into DeFi through a two-token structure catering to different risk appetites, while ensuring transparency via oracles
▸ reUSD: Dual-Source Yield Floor, principal-protected
▸ reUSDe: Insurance Investment for surplus profit sharing
---
① Yield Source
▸ Returns come from real reinsurance activity through the Insurance Capital Layer (ICL)
▸ Stablecoin capital is deposited into the ICL, then deployed via a Surplus Note and 114 Trust Account
Two main yield paths depending on the token type:
A) reUSD - Dual-Source Yield Floor Idle capital strategy based on risk-free paths like Short-term T-bills or the @ethena delta-neutral path
╰┈➤ This mechanism provides a yield floor, aiming to protect principal
B) reUSDe - Insurance Alpha Capital is allocated to low-volatility reinsurance strategies
╰┈➤ Returns are generated from the underwriting profits of the reinsurance portfolio
---
② Yield Distribution
▸ Capital Waterfall Model: Profits after paying Claims and Underwriting Ops Fees are distributed
▸ Distribution Order: reUSD Accrual → reUSDe Surplus Share → Protocol Treasury
▸ Yield Accumulation: Yield is automatically compounded (Yield Auto Compound) via price or NAV, not token emissions
╰┈➤ $reUSD compounds via price/NAV, $reUSDe compounds via tNAV
---
③ Re's Security & Transparency Structure
▸ On-chain Custody & Transparency: Fireblocks Multisig custody. @chainlink Oracles provide PoR, Price feeds NAV, and Trust balances
▸ Legal Framework: Uses Surplus Note and §114 Trust Account as legal rails
▸ Capital Structure: Risk separation with principal-protected reUSD, and first-loss reUSDe
╰┈➤ Re uses a multi-layered structure to ensure security and transparency
---
④ Ecosystem & Integrations
▸ DeFi Integration: Re Protocol integrates with protocols like @pendle_fi, @Morpho, @CurveFinance, and @ConvexFinance, allowing the use of $reUSD and $reUSDe in various DeFi strategies
▸ Insurance Strategy: Capital is diversely allocated to sectors such as Workers' Compensation, Small Business Commercial, Homeowners Insurance, and Auto Insurance
---
➥ Re Protocol is clear proof of RWA's potential to bring real value to DeFi with tokens having NAV, oracle reporting, and clear withdrawal rules while retaining DeFi composability
