Great discussion at DAYS on RWAs and institutional adoption in vaults with @mcasto_ @syrupsid @0x_JMan and @reidlikeabook.
One theme came through clearly in my conversations with major institutions: the next wave of DeFi adoption will depend on robust modular isolation and institutional-grade risk management tools built directly into smart contracts.
Features like circuit breakers, permissioned vaults, and collateral limits — all enabled by Euler Hooks — are increasingly becoming requirements for institutional participation, especially after recent market events.
This has been a core focus at Euler, and we believe the infrastructure is now ready for the next phase of DeFi growth.
DAYS Miami Recap: Panels. Part 3
→ The next panel discussion was on "Why Vaults Became Institutional Infrastructure," led by Matt Casto (@mcasto_), Head of DeFi at @CMT_Digital, with Sid Powell (@syrupsid), Co-Founder & CEO at @maplefinance, Jonathan Han (@0xJHan), CEO at
@eulerfinance, Reid Simon, President of Digital Assets at @Figure, and Jonathan Man, Head of Multi-Strategy Solutions & DeFi Strategies at @Bitwise Asset Management.
Digital Asset Yield Summit brings the right people in the right room. Next event: DAYS New York on 11 June!
HyperEVM markets are moving into the core Euler experience.
HypurrFi helped bring Euler-based lending markets to Hyperliquid through Mewler. As that deployment transitions, Euler is bringing HyperEVM coverage in-house.
We are excited to serve the expanded community directly as this represents a more direct path for users, curators, and teams building on Euler.
Euler is bringing HyperEVM market coverage in-house.
@HypurrFi brought lending markets to Hyperliquid through Mewler, a licensed Euler deployment.
Now Euler users, curators, and builders get a more direct path to HyperEVM borrowing and lending markets.
Hyperliquid.
Totally agree. For DeFi to reach a broader audience, lending protocols need stronger risk management and crisis response built directly into smart contracts. Features like pause mechanisms, permissioned vaults, collateral limits, utilization caps, and transaction pre-screening should and will become the standard.
These safeguards can already be implemented using Euler Hooks, which give vault governors on Euler the ability to customize and control vault operations to better protect users.
We're building the credit infrastructure that turns idle tokenised assets into productive collateral. Our work with @Keyrock and @Securitize explores how lending, borrowing, and collateral management scale from here.

The biggest gap in tokenised assets is what happens after issuance.
This diagram from @Keyrock and @Securitize’s report shows how NAV-anchored vaults, intent protocols, and DeFi money markets connect to give holders instant liquidity without breaking fund settlement cycles.

It’s been a real privilege working alongside Kasper to bring Euler into its next phase.
A clear, honest assessment of what worked and what didn’t is non-negotiable as we move forward. Euler’s core architecture and protocol design proved sound, but the lessons learned are just as important and are directly informing how we build from here.
Euler V2 remains the most flexible and tested vault infrastructure capable of supporting lending markets across a wide range of structures, with the level of control required by professional risk curators and institutional participants.
From here, the focus is straightforward — build the best lending infrastructure onchain. That means materially advancing curator tooling, user experience, the underlying technical foundation and much more.
We’re executing against that vision now. More to share soon.
The protocol works. Here’s what did not. My honest account of the last 18 months at @eulerfinance

Pleased to be welcoming @ConcreteXYZ as a curator using @eulerfinance vault infrastructure to bring institutional grade lending markets onchain

Thrilled to welcome @networkspirits to the Euler team!
it's time for a life update
I have joined @eulerfinance to lead marketing 🥳
I’m a month in and i thought i’d take the chance to talk about why Euler
I have long admired Euler, and whenever i tell people i’ve joined the reaction is the same. defi people love Euler. even if no one can pronounce it.
while i love working in consumer, i wanted to do something different this time around. the bulk of my career (8 years, i’m old) was in tradfi risk and initially working in crypto was very different, but we’re at a time where worlds are colliding and a lot of those skills are becoming more relevant than ever.
I pondered going founder mode, but ultimately decided i wanted to work with a lean team who move fast and are the best at what they do. I’ve always admired @euler_mab, and meeting the rest of the team was enough for me to know that the spirit is strong.
a month in, i am absolutely loving it. there’s a whole lot to do and a whole lot coming. i am even more sure that Euler stands apart in its tech in terms of what it can bring to anyone - institutions, protocols, builders, curators - and i’m excited to help translate the tech to the masses.
at the moment, other lending protocols/infra have more mindshare and there's a gap to be closed. i aim to educate and help bump our beloved oiler back to where it belongs.
i have great respect for what others are building and i am not a combative person - so don't expect me to go to war on the timeline. the reality is, as our (still tiny) industry grows, sensible players will be sure to diversify. there's room for many winners, and i know one of them will be us.
i’ll be at EthCC, so say hello
(& yes, its oiler btw)
Looking forward to speaking at @RWASummit in Cannes about RWA lending and distribution and how real-world assets are reshaping finance.
I've been flooded with calls from people looking to explore diversifying their lending.
Did something happen?
Securitize DS Tokens are coming to Euler as collateral, curated by @kpk_io
This establishes the foundation for regulated real-world assets to be utilized in DeFi, giving holders the ability to borrow against their assets and keep their full position.
Euler's vault kit is built for this. Highly flexible parameters with asset-specific LTV ratios, interest rate models, caps, liquidation settings, and oracle configurations - designed for the risk frameworks that institutional capital requires.
We’ve partnered with @eulerfinance to integrate Securitize’s DS Protocol, allowing DS Tokens to be used as collateral in curated, risk-isolated lending markets on the platform.
This partnership expands onchain utility for tokenized real-world assets in DeFi.
Tokenised stocks are changing how we access traditional capital markets. Euler is changing what you can do with them.
@OndoFinance markets are live on Euler - lend, borrow and put your capital to work.
Our take on where onchain real-world asset markets go from here.
I’ve believed for a long time that DeFi shouldn’t stop at crypto-native assets.
Today we take a big step toward that future.
After working closely with our partners, tokenized stocks can now be used as a collateral on Euler - the first vaults of their kind on EVM. This gives users the ability to borrow against their assets and access liquidity without selling.
This turns static holdings into productive capital and adds much-needed diversification to DeFi collaterals.
Proud to ship this alongside @OndoFinance, @SentoraHQ and @Chainlink.
Real-world assets are joining DeFi - and Euler is built for it.
Tokenized equities just became usable DeFi collateral on Euler.
Tokenized stocks → supply
Stablecoins → borrow
Exposure → kept
Supply tokenized stocks on Euler and use them as collateral to borrow liquidity without selling. Built with @OndoFinance, @SentoraHQ, and @Chainlink.
RWAs coming onchain as collateral are a massive unlock for DeFi.
In today’s market conditions, RWAs offer meaningful diversification, reducing correlated risk and helping prevent the compounding drawdowns we often see with purely crypto-native assets.
By bridging real-world value with onchain efficiency, RWAs deepen liquidity, stabilize lending markets, and expand DeFi beyond beyond its closed ecosystem.
Euler is leading the charge - empowering onchain vaults to accept RWAs as collateral and building the foundation for DeFi to scale.
More to come on this soon. Stay tuned.
Euler is now powering @krakenfx's DeFi Earn with @SentoraHQ's curated vault. DeFi yield should be simple, accessible, and open to everyone.
DeFi Earn is now live on @krakenfx, powered by Euler.
DeFi Earn is allowing users to earn yield with @SentoraHQ vaults allocating to Euler. Users can now easily earn with Euler without leaving Kraken.
