from eu parliament & €600m funds to building rwa infra: read my fully detailed recap on @KevinWSHPod interview with @valdimitrv, (coo of @RealFinOfficial) here are the most hottest points fron the interview: * hidden moat & compliance edge: @valdimitrv’s background - eu parliament policy, vtb capital investment banking, and managing €600m in eu funds; * the co-founder balance: @ivo_grigorov brings the strategic, long-term vision while valentin drives execution-focused energy. this duo survived a 2.5-year grind in "cockroach mode" because they complement each other perfectly; * mission & institutional thesis: building regulatory-compliant infrastructure to bring bonds, private credit, and real estate fully onchain. the strategy is institutions-first: get banks to enter with trust, and retail will follow for sustainable adoption; * traction & validation: secured a $29m raise at a $200m valuation led by @Nimbus_Capital_. an @okx tier-1 listing is locked, a partnership with vienna privatbank is live, and a sovereign fund pipeline is underway (@Anchorage); * tech & dual-token structure: features an evm-compatible cosmos sdk where institutions stake tokens proportional to assets managed. uses a dual approach: a token for crypto natives (fees, staking) and equity for tradfi institutions looking for balance-sheet comfort. the interview makes me even more bullish on asset:native.
