OM has gained attention as one of the premier RWA protocols in the crypto space. OM started at 500m market cap one year ago and today stands around 7B.

By 2025, I expect Maple to have a five week period in which the total market cap will 20x from...

When Larry Fink initially broached the idea of a Bitcoin ETF (back when it was around GETTEX:25K ), many seasoned traders dismissed it and even bet against Bitcoin.
