📰 Founders Fund didn’t bet on equity in Anvil this time. Instead, it directly bought $5 million worth of ANVL tokens from the project’s existing treasury, with no new tokens issued. Honestly, the signal this sends may matter more than the size of the investment itself.

🔥 Anvil isn’t a lending protocol like Aave or Compound, either. Users lock ETH or USDC in a treasury and receive an on-chain letter of credit proving they have enough assets to honor their commitments. Counterparties can verify the collateral status in real time, without having to lend out the assets first.

💡 This already has practical use cases. In March 2025, Flexa integrated Capacity v3 with Anvil, using letters of credit to guarantee settlement for crypto payments; Bullish is exploring instant margin deposits. Consensus and Bitcoin.com are also listed as partners, though there’s still a big gap between “exploring” something and actually deploying it.

👀 Anvil’s design is also quite unusual: the protocol charges no transaction fees, and ANVL’s main role is governance. Holders can decide on collateral types, letter-of-credit parameters, and integrations with external contracts. The catch is that without fee revenue, the token’s value depends heavily on whether businesses actually adopt the protocol.

🤔 At the time of publication, Anvil had about $14 million in TVL. It peaked at around $109 million in July 2025, then fell by about 87%. So this looks more like a test of whether “on-chain letters of credit” can become a major category than a proven business model. Do you think businesses will really move traditional credit guarantees on-chain?
