Promote with Leviathan NewsNouriel Roubini, one of crypto's loudest skeptics, co-authored Atlas's USAFi whitepaper and is backing a Q3 2026 launch under Dubai VARA. USAFi is pitched as a permissionless ERC-20 backed by the SEC-registered, Nasdaq-listed Atlas America Fund ETF, with reserve assets at Bank of New York and exposure across Treasuries, gold, commodities, defense, cyber, and AI-linked equities. Securitize says it will provide the tokenization stack, putting Roubini inside the RWA boom he can square with his old critique: unbacked tokens bad, real collateral onchain acceptable.
