Framework Ventures推出Home Token

Cryptocurrency risk investment firm Framework Ventures has reached an agreement to acquire 10% of the publicly listed mortgage lender Better.com for approximately $45 million. This investment directly corresponds to Better.com’s planned launch of the mortgage token Home Token, backed by a pool of $500 million in mortgage loans and related assets, initially open only to qualified investors.

Investment Logic: Why Framework Ventures is Betting on Better.com

Framework Ventures is one of the largest supporters of the DeFi ecosystem Sky, which as of Monday has an ecosystem capital of about $18 billion. Sky supports its stablecoin system with real-world assets (RWA), including mortgage-backed assets. Investing in Better.com allows the integration of scaled housing loan assets into its DeFi framework.

Vance Spencer, co-founder of Framework Ventures, stated that this investment aims to “bridge the world of crypto valuation with traditional markets through stablecoins,” clearly indicating a cross-sector strategy linking traditional capital markets with decentralized finance.

Home Token Structure and Issuance Framework

Better.com plans to issue Home Token through a partnership with Sky, backed by a pool of $500 million in mortgage loans and related assets, with holders entitled to a proportional share of the returns.

Key Design Points of Home Token

Underlying Assets: $500 million in mortgage loans and other loan pools

Initial Qualification Restrictions: Only open to qualified investors; no public launch schedule set

Issuance Framework: Tokenized via Sky’s DeFi ecosystem

Retail Expansion Plans: Vishal Garg stated that they will explore ways for consumers to access the tokens; specific plans are yet to be determined

Better.com founder and CEO Vishal Garg emphasized that the core goal of tokenization is “eliminating multiple layers of intermediaries,” enabling more competitive mortgage rates for consumers by significantly reducing financing costs below market averages.

Better.com’s Market Valuation and Industry Significance of Tokenization

Better.com was originally planning to go public in 2021 with a valuation of $7.7 billion, but its IPO in 2023 saw its stock price plummet over 90% on the first day. As of Monday, the company’s market cap is approximately $450 million. Framework Ventures’ investment implies a valuation similar to the current market cap.

By joining the ranks of institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity in tokenizing traditional financial assets, Better.com becomes the latest publicly listed company to bring traditional assets onto the blockchain. Industry insiders supporting RWA tokenization believe this process can effectively reduce transaction costs and improve asset liquidity.
