Ascend@AscendFi·
This week @manymoneymanny and @marcelofleitas hosted Ascend’s leadership Space. @RealDennisO was out sick, and will be sharing more once back. The recording is up: x.com/i/spaces/1DxLd… Thank you to everyone who joined, especially @0xMuchScience and the @trex_network community. What we covered: • How we build Ascend runs AI-first as a team. AI writes a substantial share of the code, research, and documentation. Then, a subject-matter expert reviews everything before it ships. That operating model has pulled product development roughly a year ahead of where we’d otherwise be. • Where the product stands The securities lending platform is running on testnet with a full feature set, and a first security audit has been completed. • What’s next A second audit is currently underway. Upon completion, we are planning a private beta with partners from the T-REX and ERC-3643 community. Broader access to come after. One more thing: our new site is live. Check out ascend.gl to register interest in the coming private beta, propose a partnership, or reach the team.

Compliance that lives at the token standard is what lets regulated assets move onchain at institutional scale. Strengthening the ERC-3643 foundation is work the whole ecosystem benefits from: kudos to the teams at @OpenZeppelin and @trex_network for taking on this challenge.
T-REX Network@trex_network

Regulated assets will only move onchain at scale when institutions can trust the code enforcing ownership and transfer rules. That is why T-REX Network is partnering with @OpenZeppelin to co-develop a major upgrade to the infrastructure underpinning ERC-3643 tokenized securities. For these assets, smart contract security goes far beyond protecting balances. The code determines who can hold the asset, how identity is handled, where it can be distributed and whether each transfer is permitted. Those controls need to be reliable from the first architectural decision. OpenZeppelin engineers will work alongside the T-REX team, advising on the core architecture, reviewing new functionality as it is designed and contributing proven components from the OpenZeppelin Contracts library. That library already underpins 9 of the 10 largest stablecoins and has supported more than $35 trillion in onchain transfers. The partnership adds OpenZeppelin’s engineering and security expertise to infrastructure already built around ERC-3643 compliance and privacy enabled through @zama. The result is infrastructure institutions can use to issue and distribute regulated assets with enforceable controls, protected financial data and secure technical foundations. @ApexGlobalGroup has already committed to adopting the T-REX Ledger as its default infrastructure, with a target of $100 billion in tokenized assets by June 2027. Institutional adoption depends on getting the foundations right. OpenZeppelin is now helping us build them. t-rex.network/news/openzeppe…

Last cycle put a lot of assets onchain. Very little of it became something you could underwrite or lend against... least of all regulated securities. On July 8 our team gets specific about what Ascend has been building. Get a reminder about when to join in our post below.

Kraken
Kraken@krakenfx·
Kraken is deprecating its existing cross-chain provider and migrating to @Chainlink CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain infra to secure Kraken Wrapped Bitcoin (kBTC) & all future Kraken Wrapped Assets. Kraken chose Chainlink CCIP because it offers enterprise-grade infrastructure with strict security & risk management requirements, including: • ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications • Secure by default architecture • 16 independent nodes • Native rate limits, and more. Together, Chainlink and Kraken can help accelerate the global adoption of crypto by unlocking utility and distribution for all Kraken Wrapped Assets across DeFi. For kBTC customers, no action is required. More details on the migration process to follow on official Kraken channels.

.@AscendFi is solving a critical gap in the market by building credit infrastructure purpose-built for regulated, real-world assets. This is how RWAs move from being issued onchain to being actively used across financial markets at scale. stellar.org/press/stellar-…

Credit utility is what will move the RWA market forward. This is why the work with @StellarOrg matters: regulated assets need a path into real credit and collateral flows.
Ascend@AscendFi

Today, Ascend is announcing a strategic partnership with the Stellar Development Foundation (@StellarOrg), including a direct investment in Ascend. The work is centered on a simple market question: what comes after tokenization? Ascend is being built to help regulated real-world assets become usable as onchain credit collateral under explicit compliance controls. That includes permissioned vaults, continuous risk monitoring, and structured resolution for distressed assets. This work extends Ascend’s compliance-first framework for regulated RWAs to the Stellar network and reflects a broader push toward making tokenized assets usable within public blockchain credit infrastructure.

ERC-3643 enables restricted, identity-aware assets to be tokenized onchain. @AscendFi is making that collateral usable. Markets scale from here💪
T-REX Network@trex_network

T-REX Network has partnered with @AscendFi to enable ERC-3643 tokenized assets to function as compliant collateral in onchain credit markets 🚀 The first wave of tokenization proved assets could go onchain compliantly. What it failed to prove is that markets would form around them. For regulated assets to scale, they need to do more than exist onchain. They need to generate yield, be borrowed against, and access liquidity, all without breaking the compliance rules that govern them. Two layers, one stack: 🔸 T-REX Network handles compliance: ERC-3643 rules and identity traveling with every asset across networks, verified by the T-REX Ledger before every transaction. 🔸 Ascend handles credit: Permissioned vaults enabling compliant assets to be borrowed against and put to work in onchain credit markets. The institutional momentum behind this is already building. @ApexGlobalGroup (servicing $3.5 trillion) recently committed to adopt the T-REX Ledger as its default infrastructure, with a target of $100 billion in tokenized assets by June 2027. Those assets are eligible across Ascend's credit infrastructure. Ascend brings an additional $8 billion pipeline of institutional RWAs ready for deployment. Compliant. Interoperable. Productive. This is the tokenized future 🦖 Read full PR: t-rex.network/news/t-rex-net…

@AscendFi Honestly a very overlooked decision in DeFi protocol economics, though it underpins everything downstream

Ascend@AscendFi·
Risk data should never be a profit centre for the protocol it's supposed to protect. If a protocol earns margin on its own oracle feeds, there's a subtle incentive to reduce update frequency, widen deviation bands, or delay triggers: all of which degrade the data that vault health, liquidation timing, and reserve pricing depend on. Ascend's vaults pass oracle access fees through to @chainlink at cost. Zero protocol take. A data layer that's independent from the protocol it monitors means there's no reason to ever compromise on data quality.

$100B in tokenized assets is only meaningful if those assets can be used. Today, most regulated RWAs remain economically idle after issuance. They can be recorded onchain, but cannot be pledged, moved, or connected to liquidity without breaking compliance. Ascend is being built to solve this. Working with @trex_network, bolstered by its recent $100B commitment via @ApexGlobalGroup, helps us enable ERC-3643 assets to function as compliant collateral within onchain credit markets. Much thanks to @0xMuchScience , @LucFalempin and @RealDennisO for helping facilitate this partnership.
T-REX Network@trex_network

Are you ready to Ascend? 🚀 Last week, Apex Group (servicing $3.5 trillion), committed to T-REX Ledger as its default multi-chain infrastructure, with a target of $100B in tokenized assets by June 2027. Marking a clear step towards tokenizing the world's markets. We have partnered with @AscendFi, integrating into the T-REX Ledger to enable ERC-3643 assets to function as compliant collateral within onchain credit markets. This is just the beginning 🦖
