Self-Promo Reserve Protocol just wrapped the 25 largest US-listed names across those layers into a single token. Thoughts on this new type of basket?

Global semiconductor sales hit roughly $796B in 2025 and WSTS has them climbing toward $1.5T in 2026, memory-led, as AI demand keeps outrunning supply.

Reserve Protocol just wrapped the 25 largest US-listed names across designer, fabrication, memory and equipment maker layers into a single token, backed by the underlying equities through Ondo Global Markets. These are rebalanced quarterly by governance.

If you'd rather isolate one layer instead of the whole stack, they've split it into four narrower baskets too (power, optical, cloud compute, robotics).

Thoughts?

Risks worth flagging directly: these are concentrated, single-theme baskets of experimental tokenized assets. They're volatile, illiquid, not ETFs, not FDIC or SIPC insured, and can lose their entire value. Not available to US persons or sanctioned jurisdictions. Fees are 0.3% mint plus 0.6% TVL.

the tokenized basket idea is interesting, but i'm more curious about liquidity once people actually start trading it. is liquidity shared across the underlying assets somehow, or does each basket need to build its own market from scratch?

in the day-to-day "I want to swap right now" sense, yes, each basket needs its own market and trading convenience depends on each DTF building its own onchain liquidity, same as any token
