Recently, I feel like I've changed my perspective on the RWA track—it’s sometimes observing the emotional ups and downs, and sometimes seriously sitting down to go through the ins and outs due to the details of a project. Seeing @Theo_Network frequently mentioned and the 90% chance on Polymarket that it will complete TGE before Q2, that familiar feeling of "the market has already given a consensus, but the price hasn't fully reflected it yet" has returned.

🧩 What is Theo doing? Where is it located?
What Theo Network aims to do is not just one or two "financial products," but an institutional-level on-chain capital channel—allowing traditional high-quality assets such as government bonds and gold to be used by ordinary users and institutions on-chain in a more flexible way:

🔹Assets have real underlying value: Connected with traditional giants like Wellington, with clear custody and ratings for government bonds and gold;
🔹Complete compliance framework: The issuing entity is regulated, the full set of KYC/AML is completed, making it the kind that truly allows both "inside funds" and "outside funds" to be safely integrated.
🔹Liquidity practices expertise: Using traditional high-frequency trading (HFT) experience, refine the depth, price spread, and slippage of on-chain assets to a more comfortable range.

In the core products, thBILL = on-chain short-term U.S. Treasury basket, suitable as a "stable base"; thGLD = interest-bearing on-chain gold, which solves the old problem of traditional gold being "only value-preserving and not interest-bearing." Currently, the TVL has already surpassed 200 million USD, and the growth rate is quite impressive among similar RWAs, which is why more and more funds are betting on its TGE rhythm—not blindly betting, but voting based on data.

🕒 About TGE: From Market Expectations to Time Window
There are currently several consensus signals in the market regarding the TGE timeline of Theo:

🔸In the Polymarket prediction market, nearly 90% of the funds bet that it will not drag past Q2 of next year to complete the TGE;
🔸With the TVL exceeding 200 million USD and the product's usage in protocols like Arbitrum/Morpho, it is no longer in the "storytelling phase," but rather a typical case of "business running first, tokens come later";
🔸Although the official has not yet provided a precise date for the TGE, it is expected to be concentrated mostly in the range of Q1–Q2 next year—allowing sufficient time for regulation and structural design, while also accommodating the current RWA enthusiasm and asset accumulation.

In other words, this is more like a play that has already started, just waiting for the main character "token" to take the stage.

During this transition period, continuously accumulating TVL, expanding DeFi integrations, and enabling the protocol to generate stable income will serve as a buffer for the value carry after the TGE.

🧱 Why is this type of TGE worth watching?
Many projects' token issuance is more like a "starting point from 0 to 1," but Theo's TGE is more oriented towards the process of "from a validated model to tokenized distribution:"

🔹The product has been launched, assets have been integrated, and income has been generated.
🔸TGE is more like splitting future growth rights, cash flow expectations, and governance rights into a structure that can be freely priced by the market.

What participants really need to look at is:

How tightly are the actual cash flows of tokens and protocols bound to the scale of asset management?
Is there a clear unlocking rhythm and long-term incentives after the 2⃣TGE, rather than a one-time short-term speculation?
Is it the project that "stands in the narrative structural position of RWA," rather than just one among a bunch of copies?

📌 Let's summarize.
If we consider this round of RWA narrative as a highway taking shape, then Theo is more like the "toll + dispatch center" in the middle.

The larger the traffic flow and the more open the road, the stronger its presence; however, TGE merely gradually opens up the ownership of this "hub" from the hands of a few to be jointly held by more participants.

The market has already bet its timeline with real money, and what we can do is to finish our homework in advance before the plot officially reaches its climax.
