    <description>$74.5M annualized on-chain fees against a $7.5B market cap. CCIP processed $18B in Q1 2026 and collected $603K in lifetime fees (0.003% take rate). Eight years of SWIFT pilots with zero production revenue. Staking at 4.26%. SOC 2 Type 2 from Deloitte in April 2026 is real. The valuation is the problem. RWA Roast #6.</description>

    <description>Stellar just crossed $200M in DeFi TVL and the press ran it like a coronation. I pulled the numbers. $5.6B market cap, $730 a day in fees, 71% of RWA value from two issuers, P/Fees ratio of 15,460. Franklin Templeton, Spiko, and Ondo are real. The valuation around them is the problem. RWA Roast #4.</description>
