Oasis Protocol Backs SemiLiquid in Strategic Push for Confidential RWA Infrastructure
The Oasis Protocol Foundation has launched an investment arm targeting real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure, with credit platform SemiLiquid as its first strategic bet. The MOVE signals growing institutional demand for confidential on-chain finance solutions.
Mark Kalin, Director of Operations at Oasis, will lead the initiative focused on privacy-sensitive Web3 builders. 'RWAs are changing how we look at on-chain finance,' Kalin noted, positioning confidentiality as the next frontier for compliant DeFi growth.
The foundation's pivot from grants to targeted investments reflects maturing capital strategies in blockchain infrastructure. SemiLiquid's selection highlights the sector's prioritization of credit markets - a key RWA vertical seeing increased institutional participation.
