“There are many financial and non-financial instruments that only make sense as NFTs,” Cronje wrote. What an ftPUT Buyer Receives The ERC-721 $NFT records a position’s remaining FT and collateral.

The redemption right returns the original asset and amount, not a guaranteed dollar value or whatever a secondary buyer paid for the $NFT. Flying Tulip’s capital-allocation…

From Direct Exclusion to Structural Filters To understand the current crisis, one must trace MSCI’s regulatory maneuvers over the past twelve months.
