Framework Ventures' Michael Anderson says crypto's next trillion-dollar opportunity is financing AI and robotics, with blockchains evolving into capital markets infrastructure

$31.4B of distributed RWA value is already on-chain per RWA.xyz, but roughly $14.6B of that is U.S. Treasury debt while distributed asset-backed credit is only about $2.2B. Financing robotics and AI pushes crypto into underwriting utilization, hardware depreciation, energy costs, and machine revenue streams, much closer to equipment leasing than vanilla tokenization. If Framework is right, Maple/Centrifuge-style credit markets and DePIN operators start sharing the same primitive: verifiable cash-flow collateral with 24/7 settlement.
