Crypto startup Hamilton has made history by launching tokenized US Treasury bonds on Bitcoin layer-2 blockchains. The first transaction of the HUST tokens occurred on July 4.

加密初创公司 Hamilton 通过在比特币第二层区块链上发行代币化的美国国债而创造了历史。 HUST 代币的第一笔交易发生于 7 月 4 日。

The tokens, dubbed Hamilton U.S. T-Bills (HUST), are now available on three Bitcoin layer-2 solutions: Core, Stacks, and Build on Bitcoin (BoB). According to the company, this marks a first in the crypto world.

这些代币被称为汉密尔顿美国国库券 (HUST)，现已在三种比特币第 2 层解决方案上提供：Core、Stacks 和 Build on Bitcoin (BoB)。据该公司称，这在加密货币世界中尚属首次。

The initiative combines the stability of the Bitcoin network with the reliability of the US dollar, presenting a unique advantage in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape.

该举措将比特币网络的稳定性与美元的可靠性结合起来，在去中心化金融（DeFi）领域呈现出独特的优势。

Kasstawi, Hamilton’s CEO, expressed enthusiasm for this historic step towards financial independence, which also exposes investors to emerging markets like crypto.

Hamilton 首席执行官 Kasstawi 对迈向财务独立的历史性一步表示了热情，这也让投资者接触到加密货币等新兴市场。

“Hamilton is building the first RWA on Bitcoin. We’re bringing financial independence on Independence Day,” said Hamilton’s CEO in an X post.

“汉密尔顿正在比特币上构建第一个 RWA。我们将在独立日实现财务独立。”汉密尔顿首席执行官在 X 帖子中说道。

The company also says it aims to bring stability, transparency, and liquidity to financial systems in emerging markets.

该公司还表示，其目标是为新兴市场的金融体系带来稳定性、透明度和流动性。

Hamilton U.S. T-Bills (HUST) will run on three Bitcoin Layer 2 platforms: Stacks, Core, and BoB. Brendon, a contributor to the Core project, expresses his excitement about this development in an X post.

汉密尔顿美国国库券 (HUST) 将在三个比特币第 2 层平台上运行：Stacks、Core 和 BoB。 Brendon 是 Core 项目的贡献者，他在 X 帖子中表达了他对这一发展的兴奋。

This move reflects a growing trend of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) participating in the Web3 economy. This innovation converts assets like real estate, securities, and T-Bills into digital tokens that can be traded, transferred, and used within decentralized platforms.

此举反映了代币化现实世界资产（RWA）参与 Web3 经济的增长趋势。这项创新将房地产、证券和国库券等资产转换为可以在去中心化平台内交易、转让和使用的数字代币。

This trend is significant because it brings traditional assets into the digital space, making them more flexible. For instance, investors can now trade or leverage T-Bills on blockchain platforms.

这一趋势意义重大，因为它将传统资产带入数字空间，使其更加灵活。例如，投资者现在可以在区块链平台上交易或利用国库券。

Moreover, the US Federal Reserve interest rates have made T-Bills competitive with stablecoin yields. T-Bills now offer similar returns but come with lower risk compared to stablecoins.

此外，美联储利率使国库券与稳定币收益率具有竞争力。与稳定币相比，国库券现在提供类似的回报，但风险更低。

According to Defillama, the total value locked in RWAs is currently at $3.81 billion, with a total market value of over $29 billion. Hamilton predicted the RWA market could surge to $16 trillion by 2030.

据 Defillama 称，目前 RWA 锁定的总价值为 38.1 亿美元，总市值超过 290 亿美元。 Hamilton 预测，到 2030 年，RWA 市场可能激增至 16 万亿美元。

Bitcoin’s Evolving Ecosystem

比特币不断发展的生态系统

Since 2023, the Bitcoin network has introduced three token standards: Bitcoin itself, Ordinals, and Runes.

自 2023 年以来，比特币网络引入了三种代币标准：比特币本身、序数和符文。

Launched early last year, Ordinals create non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on satoshis. In April 2024, Rune was launched to let people create new digital coins on the Bitcoin network.

Ordinals于去年初推出，在聪上创建不可替代的代币（NFT）。 2024 年 4 月，Rune 推出，让人们在比特币网络上创建新的数字货币。

The increased traffic on the Bitcoin network has driven layer-2 development. Solutions like the Lightning Network aim to process BTC transfers faster than the main chain.

比特币网络流量的增加推动了第二层的发展。像闪电网络这样的解决方案旨在比主链更快地处理 BTC 传输。

Layer-2s also enable smart contract-dependent DeFi (BTCfi) on the Bitcoin network, expanding Bitcoin’s utility beyond simple transfers.

Layer-2 还可以在比特币网络上实现依赖于智能合约的 DeFi (BTCfi)，从而将比特币的实用性扩展到简单的转账之外。

Core DAO, one of HUST’s host platforms, operates both a layer-1 blockchain and a BTC layer-2 solution. It has gained support from major crypto exchanges like Bitget and MEXC.

Core DAO 是 HUST 的主机平台之一，同时运行第 1 层区块链和 BTC 第 2 层解决方案。它获得了 Bitget 和 MEXC 等主要加密货币交易所的支持。
