To be honest, after years of hustling in the crypto space, my biggest fear has always been project teams suddenly running off or platforms having issues. Holding on to some spare cash and trying to find a reliable investment direction is really not easy.

Some time ago, I accidentally came across some news: Pineapple Financial, a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, actually set up a $100 million digital asset reserve specifically for Injective, and they’ve been continuously buying INJ tokens on the secondary market. At that moment, I thought this was pretty interesting—everyone knows how strict compliance reviews are for NYSE-listed companies. If they’re willing to invest that much money, they’re definitely not messing around.

After looking into it further, I found that Injective is actually the first public chain project to tokenize traditional financial assets (like US Treasury bonds and Nvidia stocks) on-chain. Their technical approach is quite impressive. Now, with a listed company putting real money into the project, this combination gives ordinary investors like me a real sense of security.

Following the footsteps of institutions is definitely better than fumbling around on my own. After all, listed companies have to be accountable to their shareholders for every investment, and their due diligence is way more thorough than what we can do as individuals. Now, checking my holdings every day, I feel much more at ease—at least I don’t have to worry about suddenly going to zero one day.
