Liquidity and inventory
| Liquidity type | Needed for | Potential sources |
|---|---|---|
| Stablecoin funding | RWA → Cash | Stablecoin lenders, treasuries, strategic allocators, curated vaults |
| RWA inventory | Cash → RWA | Long-term holders, inventory vaults, market makers, AP-linked facilities |
| Execution liquidity | Liquidations and buy-ins | RFQ makers, approved DEX routes, creation/redemption channels |
| Backstop capital | Tail gaps / failed execution | Reserves, junior capital, separately priced protection |
Borrower collateral and inventory funding must not be double-counted. In the RWA-borrowing book, collateral protects the lender against the borrower's liability; separate inventory capital must source the RWA being lent.
