What is the Centrifuge team's view on implementing another stablecoin that could be used for Tinlake/Cent Pools(once launched)?](https://youtu.be/7W_YSQzYGow?t=2733) [47:55 - Marcus: What do you believe is the biggest bottleneck for onboarding RWAs on-chain?](https://youtu.be/7W_YSQzYGow?t=2875) ## Closing Comment ### Retro #### Outro [52:37](https://youtu.be/7W_YSQzYGow?t=3157) - Thanks to everyone.
