Why Own
$10,000 of margin kept in USDC · last 3 years
The same margin held in QQQ
QQQ tracks the Nasdaq-100: Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, and the rest of the 100 largest US tech companies.
QQQ is used as an example. QQQ total return 2023–2025: +56.4%, +25.7%, +19.5% (dividends reinvested), turning $10,000 into ~$23,500. Ledger math assumes ~14% long-run QQQ growth and a 7% borrow rate on half the portfolio. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future returns.

Own put real-world assets in the corner crypto was built for: nothing to trust but code and collateral.
The mechanism
The whole system, animated: real collateral onchain, a live hedge, and an exit no one can block.
Pay USDC. The maker buys the real share and the vault mints your eSPY, hedged one-for-one from the first second.
