Fence aims to achieve real-time data updates and automated settlements through a unified system.It is reported that Fence obtains loan data via API and uses smart contracts to automatically execute payments and cash flow distribution once conditions are met. Additionally, the company can tokenize loan shares within financing vehicles, allowing investors to transfer positions, collateralize financing, or automatically receive payments.Currently, the Fence platform manages approximately $1.5 billion in assets, with partner institutions including BBVA, BlackRock, and Fortress Investment Group. The company states that compared to the traditional processing cycle of several months, its system can complete new transaction launches within weeks.

Eric Trump, the second son of Trump, responded to Forbes' criticism of his significant arbitrage through the Bitcoin business, which harms MAGA investors. Eric stated that Forbes has become a disgrace in the journalism industry. Just over a year ago, his Bitcoin company American Bitcoin (ABTC) did not exist. 7 months and 25 days ago, ABTC was listed on Nasdaq, and today it holds over 7,000 Bitcoins, becoming the 16th largest publicly traded Bitcoin company in the world, backed by a massive cluster of nearly 90,000 mining machines and a computing power of 28 EH/s, using the highest quality energy in the United States.In just the fourth quarter, the Bitcoin on the balance sheet increased by 58%, with mining costs 53% lower than the market price of Bitcoin, and fourth-quarter revenue reached $78.3 million, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 22%.
