💼 1. On-Chain Traded Funds (OTFs)
This is Lorenzo's central innovation. OTFs (On-Chain Traded Funds) are the tokenized equivalent of an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) or a traditional hedge fund, but with the transparency and programmability of the blockchain.
Simplification: Instead of users manually managing multiple positions, farms, and protocols, they invest in a single token (the OTF) that represents a basket of underlying strategies.
Tokenization of Strategies: An OTF can represent advanced strategies such as:
Real World Asset (RWA) Yield: Exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds or other stable assets.
Quantitative Strategies: Algorithmic trading or arbitrage executed automatically.
Delta-Neutral Strategies: Performance designed to be less sensitive to the volatility of the crypto market.
🌉 2. Connecting TradFi with DeFi (RWA)
Lorenzo positions itself as a crucial bridge to bring the stability and liquidity of traditional finance to the crypto ecosystem.
Star Product (USD1+ OTF): Combines the yield of RWAs (such as tokenized treasury through partners) with algorithmic strategies and DeFi yield. This allows crypto users to access a "low-risk" profitability historically reserved for institutions.
Institutional Liquidity: The protocol is designed to attract and manage institutional capital, which demands a structure, transparency, and risk management that is often lacking in DeFi.
⛓️ 3. Financial Abstraction Layer (FAL)
The technology driving the OTFs is the Financial Abstraction Layer (FAL).
Automation: FAL takes complex financial strategies and turns them into smart contract modules. This automates capital allocation, trade execution, and portfolio rebalancing.
On-Chain Transparency: Each transaction, rebalancing, and capital allocation is verifiable on the blockchain, offering a level of total transparency that is impossible to achieve with traditional funds.
💰 4. Utility of the Bitcoin and BNB Chain Ecosystem
Lorenzo is also focusing on two very important narratives in the crypto space:
Bitcoin Yield (BTC Yield): Offers products like stBTC (Liquid Staking Token) and enzoBTC so that Bitcoin holders can generate yield while maintaining the liquidity of their assets, thus unlocking the inactive capital of Bitcoin.
Foundation on BNB Chain: It is built on BNB Smart Chain, ensuring scalability and low fees, crucial for active portfolio management.
