Reserve is pioneering onchain funds (called DTFs or Decentralized Token Funds), in pursuit of asset-backed currency. Powered by $RSR

Onchain
The $DRAM ETF from @roundhill is an index of memory companies benefitting from the AI buildout. It sits at $9.6B in assets less than two months after launch, and it’s up 85% in value that time. This is so cool! So far we’ve mainly seen private hedge funds and their LPs enjoying the gains from this sector, but now retail investors have *public* fund access (in addition to the option of picking stocks manually, though most don’t have the time and expertise for that). The famous AI thesis hedge fund Situational Awareness is sitting on $13.6B in assets – not all that much more than $DRAM’s $9.6B, meaning retail is starting to enjoy a similar level of exposure. But $DRAM is a US-listed ETF, so you can only buy it in countries that are plugged into the US brokerage network. Fund access has progressed from private to public, but still leaves much of the world out. We can do better. By creating funds onchain with tokenized US stocks that are backed 1:1 with underlying equities and accessible outside of the US, we can extend access to most of the globe. That’s what we’re cooking right now, alongside the leading tokenizer of US equities. Stay tuned for globally accessible AI supply chain funds in the coming weeks, freely accessible in about 145 countries to about 6 billion people. If you are in the trenches on this trade, you can guess which vertical we’ll lead with. In Reserve’s pursuit of asset-backed currency, we’ve always had RWA support on our roadmap. We believe this is the perfect time to launch support for tokenized equities because we can address a real market gap: right now the economic benefit of the AI buildout is uneven based on where you live and what you can invest in, and we can make meaningful headway in fixing that with a product line we believe will bring usage to our platform and propel us forward as a project. Our endgame remains the construction of DTFs that protect your purchasing power whether we go through World War 3, the decline of the US and the dollar, or a true technological singularity. The next step in our journey is incorporating exposure to the AI buildout. We’re curious: Are you invested in the AI sector yet? Where are you from, and what has been your experience trying to get access? Which companies or sectors are you most interested in, or do you not know where to start?

β€œA tokenized equity DTF wins for one reason. It reaches buyers locked out of the underlying everywhere else.” Probably nothing.
This is what I want from @reserveprotocol. A product that either works in week one or never works at all. As some of you know, Index DTFs have a property most crypto products hide from you. The fee runs buy-and-burn on $RSR . So the question was never whether the tech is good. The tech is fine. The only question that moves RSR is whether the product gathers capital, because capital is the input the burn feeds on. And capital gathering in this category is brutally binary. Look at what just happened in TradFi. A memory-chip ETF went from zero to roughly $9B in a little over a month. The index was not clever. Foreign retail genuinely could not touch Samsung and SK Hynix any other way. The product solved a real access gap. The flows followed the gap. Now the counter-example, same season. A photonics ETF launched into the same hype wave. Six weeks, around $340M. Below the memory trajectory at the same point. Same theme, same AI supply-chain story BUT a fraction of the flows. The reason sits in one detail. The photonics winners are already US-listed and tradeable. No access wall to break. No reason for the flood. That comparison is the whole thesis. A tokenized equity DTF wins for one reason. It reaches buyers locked out of the underlying everywhere else. Non-US, crypto-native, no clean path to the stock. When that lockout is real, the product explodes. Zero to billions before anyone writes the thinkpiece. When the lockout is thin, the same product is a rounding error. $5M in week one, $5M in week ten. Dead on arrival, wearing the costume of "innovation". This category has no slow build. The chart in week three is already written by the flows in week one. So here is the filter I am holding. If the first equity DTF opens on an underlying that non-US capital genuinely cannot reach, the burn catalyst is live and the re-rate is mechanical. If it opens on names already liquid and listed and reachable, it's a beautiful product solving a problem nobody has... and the fee accrual to RSR stays noise. One more thing nobody is pricing. This whole structure rides on the tokenizer that issues the underlying. Launch day is chained to their release day. We already watched one tokenizer this month get forced into refunds north of $1B over botched IPO allocations. The fragile point is the entity minting the shares the index holds. So I am not watching the marketing. I am watching two data. First: Week-one flows. Second: Which underlying they open with. Everything else is noise at this point. 🐸 AD MAIORA! 🌊

New from @nnevvinn: A Request For Comments on the Reserve forum that proposes replacing $RSR’s current Bitcoin-shaped unlock curve with a milestone-based approach tied to the ecosystem’s net annual recurring revenue Read more and engage here: forum.reserve.org/t/rfc-rsr-…
#️⃣ $RSR emissions update: 8.3B RSR unlocked in 2025, but only about 855M actually entered circulation when all was said and done, representing a β‰ˆ1.5% expansion to circulating supply. Since there is no need for any additional RSR in the near term, and since conversations are underway to explore potential improvements to how RSR is unlocked and allocated, Confusion Capital is pausing all RSR unlocking until further notice. To catch up on the RSR unlocking and allocation conversation, check out @nnevvinn's latest post on the active forum thread on the subject: forum.reserve.org/t/rfc-rsr-…
