In this episode of Cryptonews Spotlight, Marcin Kazmierczak, co-founder of RedStone Oracles, unpacks why oracles are more than just price feeds, how tokenized real-world assets are transforming finance, and why the tokenization of private credit might be crypto’s next trillion-dollar opportunity.

From TradFi partnerships to DeFi infrastructure, Marcin explains how RedStone is building the data rails for the next financial era.

The Market’s Back – But Builders Never Left

“We’ve never been down, at least in my view.”

Marcin doesn’t see the crypto market in terms of prices. He sees traction. With TradFi firms actively exploring stablecoins and tokenization, he believes the real momentum is institutional, not speculative.

Why RedStone Had to Be Modular

“We create a modular architecture that is ready to support thousands of blockchains, hundreds of thousands of assets, and an infinite number of clients.”

From day one, RedStone was designed for scale and flexibility, building infrastructure capable of supporting everything from DeFi dApps to institutional tokenization.

Oracle Accuracy Is Critical – Even One Second of Error Can Nuke a Protocol

“You’ve been correct 364 days a year… This one second you deliver a bad data point… it can literally mean a nuke.”

Kazmierczak explains why oracle precision is non-negotiable. One wrong price feed could trigger liquidations and massive losses, making reliability a defining factor for oracles.

From Crypto Prices to Commodities and Beyond

“In 2024, we’ve seen a surge in need for traditional finance data, starting with commodities like gold and silver.”

The data oracles deliver is evolving. RedStone now supports RWAs and institutional data needs, including rates and benchmarks relevant to large asset managers and credit markets.

Bloomberg Isn’t Bulletproof – Oracles Are the Upgrade

“Bloomberg terminal had hiccups… Some of the UK debt transactions were disrupted.”

Even the gold standard in TradFi data – Bloomberg – has downtimes. Kazmierczak argues that blockchain-based oracles offer a more programmable, always-on alternative.

Tokenized Credit Is the New Frontier

“Tokenized credit… is even more interesting.”

While tokenized T-bills are common, Marcin sees credit as the next evolution, where oracles deliver real-time data on variable-rate products like Apollo’s ACRED.

RWA Data Needs Oracles

“This token doesn’t convey the information about the price of this off-chain asset.”

When you tokenize real-world assets, they need pricing data to be useful in DeFi. That’s where oracles like RedStone come in – enabling everything from loans to synthetic assets.

Looping TradFi Credit: A DeFi Superpower

“Looping is not allowed in TradFi. That’s one of the reasons people are so excited about on-chain looping.”

DeFi lets you do what’s illegal in traditional finance: loop tokenized credit for leverage. This strategy, already common with liquid staking tokens, is now emerging for tokenized RWAs.

Synthetic Assets Open Up DeFi Collateral Options

“ACRED is a representation one-to-one… and you use that one in DeFi for your collateral of a loan.”

Synthetic versions of tokenized assets let users borrow, lend, and build – even when the base asset is regulated and non-transferable.

TradFi Giants Are Already Building – Quietly

“The market still hasn’t realized that those guys are not anymore talking – they’re implementing.”

Institutions aren’t just exploring anymore. They’re building. And that quiet shift toward implementation is the clearest signal that crypto infrastructure is here to stay.

Why the Term “Cryptocurrency” Hurts Adoption

“Cryptocurrencies – I don’t like. I way more prefer digital assets.”

Kazmierczak believes the language of crypto pushes people away. Redefining the space in more neutral, technical terms could help broaden mainstream appeal.

Stablecoins Are Just the Start of Tokenization

“Stablecoin is nothing but a tokenized US dollar.”

The most successful crypto product to date – stablecoins – is a form of tokenization. Marcin sees similar logic being applied to other asset classes.

Apollo’s ACRED Shows What’s Possible

“They say: give us money, we’ll pay you 9% yield… You don’t have to look into every single credit.”

Institutional players like Apollo are using blockchain to bundle and automate yield products, showing that tokenization can be both profitable and compliant.

Tokenized Funds Will Attract New Entrants

“New players that in traditional finance wouldn’t be interested… will do so in crypto.”

Lower barriers in DeFi will open markets to new financial actors, including those locked out of TradFi credit or yield products.

RedStone Is Expanding Beyond EVM

“RedStone is live on Solana.”

In a final piece of alpha, Marcin confirms that RedStone has expanded from EVM to Solana and Sui, unlocking its oracle architecture for even more high-performance chains.
