I know timing is bad bc market puking but I’m very bullish on $RAWR because it’s one of the few RWA plays that everyone can instantly understand.


Most RWAs are boring: private credit, treasuries, invoices, real estate wrappers.
Jurassic Finance is trying to tokenize dinosaur fossils.
That sounds like a meme, but the offchain market is real. Apex, a Stegosaurus skeleton, sold at Sotheby’s for $44.6M in 2024, more than 11x its low estimate. Stan the T. rex sold for $31.8M. Trey the Triceratops sold for $5.5M.
Dinosaurs are scarce, visual, culturally legible trophy assets.
Everyone understands them.
$RAWR is the platform/governance layer for Jurassic Finance Labs. The plan is to originate authenticated fossils, place them into separate SPVs, and launch individual asset tokens for each specimen.
That means $RAWR is a bet on the platform becoming the first onchain capital markets layer for prehistoric trophy assets.
The closest comp I see is $LFI on Base.
$LFI is tokenizing U.S. tax liens/deeds and still managed to trade into the ~$20M valuation zone being much more difficult to understand.
It proves the market is already willing to pay 8 figures for early RWA category creators.
And the $RAWR token setup is arguably cleaner.
The launch had a $516K implied FDV, public Futardio/MetaDAO raise, 25.8M fixed supply, no prior private rounds, no MM allocation, no CEX preferential deals, and team tokens locked behind an 18-month cliff + performance milestones.
On top of that, circulating/free float is around ~35%
That is very bullish in this type of narrative.
The first real catalyst is $TRCH1: a planned ~$1M Triceratops head SPV in Q3 2026.
Important nuance:
The SPV tokens are the direct fossil exposure.
$TRCH1 holders would own the economic rights to the Triceratops specimen.
$RAWR is the platform layer: the Labs/governance token that controls the entity originating, structuring and managing the fossil SPVs.
So the value accrual is:
origination fees
platform/management fees
secondary marketplace fees
lending-market spread
treasury exposure to SPV tokens
governance over the full fossil portfolio
