Weekly Commentary
ProWeek of March 3, 2026
OpenTrade sits in no-man's land — a C+ risk grade with C- value accrual means you're taking mid-tier RWA risk without meaningful token value capture to justify it. At $17M TVL, it lacks the scale to command competitive yields or institutional credibility against heavyweights like Ondo or Centrifuge. Pass until either the risk profile tightens or the value story materializes — right now neither side of the equation works in your favor.
