Remora Markets
Summary
Remora Markets was a Solana-based tokenized real-world asset (RWA) platform acquired by Step Finance in December 2024, originally operating as Moose Capital, that offered tokenized equities such as Tesla and Nvidia shares via on-chain rTokens. On February 24, 2026, Step Finance announced the immediate wind-down of all operations — including Remora Markets and media affiliate SolanaFloor — after a January 31, 2026 hack drained approximately $27–40 million from Step Finance treasury wallets through compromised executive devices, leaving the parent entity unable to secure financing or an acquisition. Remora stated that rTokens remained fully backed 1:1 and that a USDC redemption process was being developed, though the abrupt shutdown and constrained recovery funds raised significant concerns about users' ability to recover full value in a timely manner.
