Tokenized real-world assets rarely finance at 100 cents on the dollar. They borrow below face value because the structures that make them safe for lenders also subordinate a portion of value and demand liquidity premia. The haircut is not a crypto quirk. It is securitization mechanics, risk policy, and market depth showing up on-chain.
Verified: Centrifuge’s Tinlake pools split collateral into a senior DROP token and a junior TIN token with an explicit first-loss buffer. The New Silver 2 (NS2) term sheet lists a minimum 20% junior risk buffer and targets a 7% DROP yield, so only about 80% of pool value is senior-backed at any moment, by design (NS2 executive summary). MakerDAO codifies this conservatism at the protocol level: its July 24, 2023 governance poll for New Silver shows a “Minimum Structure Subordination” of 20% and a 100% haircut on defaulted pledged assets (Maker poll).
Verified: Underwriting further restricts lendable value before tokenization. REIF1 cap
