3 hours ago

December 12th — Bill Barhydt, CEO of crypto financial services firm Abra, announced at the Solana Breakpoint conference the launch of **AbraFi**: a synthetic asset tokenization platform built on Solana. AbraFi will roll out to the public as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) — not owned by Abra Inc. Holders of its governance token, AFI, will receive the majority of the protocol’s revenue and hold governance rights. The platform’s first product is **USDAF**, a synthetic dollar fully backed by assets including SOL, USDT, and USDC. USDAF includes delta hedging and is anchored via DeFi protocols; AbraFi will also launch **SDAF**, a staking version of USDAF. AbraFi is currently in the midst of a seed funding round, with plans to officially launch around January 1. Additionally, Abra is exploring an initial public offering (IPO) in the first quarter of next year.
