RWA

RWA (Real World Assets) refers to the tokenization of tangible assets—such as real estate, private credit, and government bonds—on the blockchain. By bringing traditional financial instruments on-chain, RWA protocols like Ondo and Centrifuge provide DeFi users with stable, real-yield opportunities. In 2026, the RWA sector is a multi-trillion-dollar bridge between TradFi and DeFi, enabling fractional ownership and global liquidity for previously illiquid assets.

Crypto ETF Surge Could Reshape Market, but Many Products May Fail

Crypto ETF Surge Could Reshape Market, but Many Products May Fail

The post Crypto ETF Surge Could Reshape Market, but Many Products May Fail appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A deluge of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could hit U.S. markets as early as this fall, potentially changing how both institutional and retail investors access the digital asset space. But while some see it as a turning point for mainstream adoption, others are already bracing for inevitable casualties. “The crypto ETF floodgates are set to open this fall, and investors will soon be swimming in these products,” said Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management. He believes most of the 90-plus crypto ETF applications currently filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will be approved — assuming they meet the final listing requirements. Ultimately, though, said Geraci, investors — not regulators — will decide which products thrive. “The beautiful aspect of the ETF market is that it’s a meritocracy, where investors vote with their hard-earned money. The market naturally sorts out the winners from the losers, so I’m not overly concerned about there being too many crypto ETFs floating around.” To Geraci, the demand for more diverse and accessible investment options is already there — and underappreciated. “Given the initial response to futures-based and 1940 Act-structured Solana and XRP ETFs, I believe demand for 1933 Act spot products in these crypto assets is being severely underestimated – much like we saw with spot bitcoin and ether ETFs,” he said. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), managed and issued by BlackRock, became the most successful ETF launch in the history of those vehicles, now holding nearly $85 billion worth of bitcoin on behalf of investors. While the ether ETFs initially saw much smaller demand than their bitcoin counterparts, a recent surge in interest in the Ethereum blockchain’s native token has seen inflows for the group well surpass those for bitcoin ETFs. Ether ETFs have taken in nearly $10 billion since…

Back To School Shopping Trends Hold Valuable Lessons For Retailers

Back To School Shopping Trends Hold Valuable Lessons For Retailers

The post Back To School Shopping Trends Hold Valuable Lessons For Retailers appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Mother and daughter shopping school supplies in a store, child trying to decide which pencil to buy getty America parents headed into back-to-school shopping season knowing they would have to shop smarter, work harder, and seek help from all available AI agents to make their dollars stretch farther. Now, retailers are studying their spending for clues as to what’s in store for the holiday season. As the back-to-school season enters its final weeks, retailers are seeing that consumers are extremely price-conscious, but also willing to spend and occasionally splurge. The National Retail Federation, in its back-to-school forecast released in July, predicted that while overall spending for both K-12 and college is expected to increase, average per-family spending will decline. Over $128 Billion In School, College Spending Expected The NRF is predicting, based on consumer surveys, that families with K-12 students will spend $39.4 billion this year, up from $38.8 billion in 2024. Average per family spending will be $858.07, down from $874.68 last year. Spending for college students is forecast to reach $88.8 billion, up from $86.6 billion last year. Families shopping for college are expected to spend an average of $1,325.85, down from $1,364.75 in 2024, according to the NRF. Kantar, a global marketing data and insights company that surveys shoppers every month about their spending plans, has seen that parents this year are shopping earlier to beat rising costs and avoid out-of-stocks, and prioritizing value. A growing number also are open to buying school supplies at thrift stores and secondhand retailers as a way to stretch their dollars. Parents Feel The Need To Shop Smarter This back-to-school season, “the way that we’re seeing shoppers make choices across the board is really different,” said Julie Smith, Vice President, Shopper Insights at Kantar. “It’s not just about income. It’s about…

Cred execs receive prison term after $140 million collapse

Cred execs receive prison term after $140 million collapse

The post Cred execs receive prison term after $140 million collapse appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Two former executives from defunct crypto lender Cred LLC have been sentenced to a combined 88 months in federal prison for their roles in a wire fraud conspiracy. Summary Cred’s ex-CEO and CFO get 88 months for defrauding 6,000+ customers of $140m Executives misled clients after COVID-19 crash exposed Cred’s risky strategy Cred’s bankruptcy left over $1b in losses by today’s crypto valuations The conspiracy left over 6,000 customers with more than $140 million in losses. Senior U.S. District Judge William Alsup sentenced co-founder and former CEO Daniel Schatt to 52 months behind bars. Former CFO Joseph Podulka received a 36-month term. Cred executives pleaded guilty in May Both defendants pleaded guilty in May to wire fraud conspiracy charges stemming from their deceptive business practices at the San Francisco-based cryptocurrency lending platform. The sentences cap a lengthy legal battle that began with Cred’s November 2020 bankruptcy filing. Using current cryptocurrency valuations from August, the government estimates customer losses exceed $1 billion. This makes this one of the costliest crypto lending failures to date. Cred operated as a cryptocurrency financial services provider and offered dollar loans against crypto collateral and accepted customer deposits in exchange for promised yield payments. The company’s business model relied heavily on partnerships with overseas entities that prosecutors say customers were largely unaware of. The fraud conspiracy took root in March 2020 when COVID-19 market turmoil triggered a Bitcoin price crash. This event exposed fatal flaws in Cred’s risk management strategy and set the stage for the executives’ subsequent deceptive conduct. COVID Crash Exposed Cred’s Risky Business Model The March 2020 crypto market crash badly affected Cred’s operations. Within days of Bitcoin’s (BTC) price collapse, the company learned from its hedging partner that it was financially underwater and needed to liquidate all trading positions immediately. The hedging…

US-Japan trade talks falter over Trump’s rice demand: here’s what we know

US-Japan trade talks falter over Trump’s rice demand: here’s what we know

Japan-US trade talks just hit a major snag over rice. According to a Nikkei report, the Trump administration is pushing Japan to import more American rice, and Tokyo is not having it.Japanese officials are calling this demand completely out of line, saying it messes with their domestic farm policies and breaks previous agreements they had in place.They’re so upset about it that Japan’s top trade negotiator just canceled a planned trip to the USThis development is derailing efforts to nail down the details on broader trade and investment agreements between the two countries.Rice might seem like a small issue, but it’s clearly become a sticking point that’s bigger than anyone expected.Trade talks snagged over rice purchase demandThis rice dispute couldn’t have come at a worse time. Japan and the US were actually making good progress on a big trade deal from July that would cut American tariffs on Japanese imports, including cars down to 15%.They were also working out a massive $550 billion investment package with government backing.Everything seemed to be moving along until Trump’s team suddenly threw in this new demand about rice purchases.The problem is, this completely goes against what Japan thought they had already agreed to. The original understanding was that Japan wouldn’t have to mess with its agricultural import tariffs at all.That’s when Japan’s chief negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, decided to pull the plug on his Washington trip. Japanese officials are calling this exactly the kind of meddling in their domestic markets they were trying to avoid.Japanese agriculture and economic officials are pushing back hard, telling the US that forcing them to buy more rice could seriously damage their farming sector.Japan has spent decades protecting its agriculture with high tariffs and government subsidies, and it’s not about to throw that away now.Tokyo is drawing a clear line in the sand as they want to keep their current system, where certain rice imports come in tariff-free, but they’re not budging beyond that.Implications and reactions in JapanThe trade mess is starting to cause political headaches back in Japan.Opposition leader Yuichiro Tamaki is going after the government, questioning why they’re being so secretive about what’s actually happening in these negotiations.Tamaki has emphasized that it’s risky to keep moving forward without getting everything nailed down in writing first. He’s especially worried about Japan’s car industry, which needs predictable trade rules to plan its business.When trade relations get shaky, automakers get nervous about their investments and supply chains.This whole rice fight really shows how Trump’s trade strategy has evolved. What started as a trade war with China has now spread to pressuring allies like Japan.It’s not just about tariffs anymore, as now the US is making specific demands about what countries should buy from American farmers.The post US-Japan trade talks falter over Trump’s rice demand: here's what we know appeared first on Invezz

RLUSD and RWA Tokenization Utility Shine on the XRP Ledger for Q2 2025: Messari Report

RLUSD and RWA Tokenization Utility Shine on the XRP Ledger for Q2 2025: Messari Report

Prominent analytical firm Messari released a detailed report on the state of the XRP ecosystem in the second quarter of the year. The report highlighted a general growth in the ecosystem as its use cases continue to gain recognition in the global financial scene. Notably, Messari identified breakthroughs in infrastructure and programmability, as well as a broader growth in the XRP and RLUSD market caps. XRP Price and Market Cap Growth Notably, one of the major highlights was the appreciable expansion in the XRP market cap. The token’s circulating market cap closed at $132 billion in Q2 2025, representing an 8.5% increase from the previous quarter. Meanwhile, prices surged with the valuation change, with XRP closing at $2.24, marking a 7.1% change from the first quarter of the year. Notably, the price of XRP reached a high of $2.65 in May but subsequently retraced to the closing price, according to data. Remarkably, XRP has surpassed that level to reach multi-year highs, hitting $3.66 in July before consolidating to its current price of $2.82. Its market cap has also improved from the closing Q2 valuation; it rallied to $216.69 billion, entering the top 100 assets in the world by the metric, but stands at $167.88 billion at the time of writing. Despite the growth in price and market capitalization, revenue from transaction fees decreased from $1.1 million to $680,900 in Q2, primarily due to a decline in average daily transactions from 2 million to 1.6 million. However, it bears mentioning that the XRPL model does not prioritize revenue from transaction fees. Screenshot 2025 08 30 104124XRP Ledger Key Metrics Overview/Messari RLUSD and RWA Market Cap on XRP Ledger Rally Meanwhile, Ripple USD (RLUSD) on the XRP Ledger also saw improvements quarter over quarter, as it continues to penetrate the blossoming stablecoin market. The dollar-pegged cryptocurrency’s market cap increased 49.4% in the second quarter to $65.9 million, making it the Ledger’s largest stablecoin. Meanwhile, RLUSD on Ethereum also went parabolic, moving from around $200 million to nearly $390 million. The notable spike pushed the stablecoin’s valuation to $455.2 million at the close of the second quarter. Screenshot 2025 08 30 104200RLUSD Market Cap on the XRPL Ledger RLUSD has continued to increase since then, up 16.49% in the past 30 days to $701.6 million. Currently, $85.9 million of its cap is on the XRP Ledger, while $615 million is on the Ethereum network. In a separate development, the real-world asset (RWA) market cap on the XRP Ledger increased by 13% quarter-over-quarter to $131.6 million. The market infrastructure service provider, Montis Group Limited (MGL), launched by a partnership between Ripple and Archax, led the proceedings with $55.4 million. In comparison, the Ondo Short-Term US Government Bond Fund (OUSG) ranked second with $30.1 million. Screenshot 2025 08 30 104217RWA Market Cap on the XRP Ledger/Messari This highlights efforts to facilitate RWA tokenization on the XRP Ledger, aiming to enhance its institutional use case. Recall that Ripple projected that the tokenization market would reach an estimated $18.9 trillion by 2033, with Bitwise’s Matt Hougan calling XRP one of the cleanest means of exposure to the rapidly growing sector. Other Notable XRP Ledger Development Moreover, there were other notable developments in the XRP Ledger in the second quarter of 2025. For context, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain launched on the XRP Ledger on June 30, a move that bridged programmability to the Ledger mainnet. The launch came on the heels of a partnership between Ripple and Wormhole to introduce multi-chain interoperability to the XRP ledger and the EVM sidechain. The integration enabled the Ledger to connect with over 35 blockchains, thereby enhancing its adoption. Additionally, the XAO DAO debuted as an autonomous XRPL community organization, empowering decentralized governance. The DAO would also allocate grants for ecosystem development.

Pundit Points to XRP in Ripple Escrow as White House Confirms Plans to Expand Stakes in Private Firms

Pundit Points to XRP in Ripple Escrow as White House Confirms Plans to Expand Stakes in Private Firms

A pundit has floated the possibility of the U.S. government taking over the XRP in Ripple escrow, as the White House recently confirmed plans to buy into more private companies. Government to Expand Stakes in Private Firms For context, Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, noted on Monday that Washington intends to follow the same path it took with Intel. Last week, the government secured nearly a 10% share in the semiconductor company, tying the deal to earlier grant awards.  Hassett described that move as the first step toward building a sovereign wealth fund, an idea President Donald Trump has continued to support. He stressed that more deals like Intel's could surface in other industries as part of the administration's push to expand the fund. President Trump defended the Intel purchase on Truth Social, rejecting claims that the White House was interfering too heavily in the private sector. Notably, the announcement also landed amid Congress's introduction of the Freedom from Government Competition Act of 2025.  Lawmakers designed the bill to reduce direct government competition with private businesses by requiring federal agencies to source goods and services from private suppliers. The measure remains in committee and has yet to move forward. Could the Government Look to the XRP in Ripple Escrow? As the discussion over government ownership emerged, Zach Rector highlighted Ripple. Specifically, he asked whether Washington could eventually eye Ripple's escrowed XRP if it wanted to expand its holdings beyond traditional companies. Notably, Ripple currently controls 35.6 billion XRP locked across 14 wallets, a stash worth about $100 billion. https://twitter.com/ZachRector7/status/1960027376014049519 Rector's remarks revived speculation that first emerged earlier this year when the U.S. announced its plan for a strategic digital asset reserve. While the government added XRP, it ruled out purchasing XRP to fill the reserve. However, market pundits have continued to ask whether the XRP in Ripple escrow could serve as a potential source. Mounting Speculations Amid the discussions, Vet, a validator on the XRPL's default unique node list, explained in March how Ripple could hand over control of its escrow without waiting for tokens to unlock.  According to him, Ripple could simply change the regular key on the escrow accounts, effectively shifting ownership to the U.S. government or another entity in one transaction. While he confirmed it is technically possible, Vet expressed doubts that such an arrangement would ever take place. Meanwhile, in February, before the announcement of the XRP's inclusion in the reserve, attorney Jeremy Hogan argued that Washington would view XRP through the lens of national strategy rather than blockchain philosophy.  Hogan floated the idea of a possible government seizure of escrowed XRP, similar to past measures such as the 1933 gold confiscation. He said that if leaders believed XRP provided a hedge against global risks, they would not hesitate to act, either by taking Ripple itself or by controlling its escrow. Moreover, after Judge Analisa Torres denied a joint request from Ripple and the SEC for an indicative ruling in June, Brad Kimes, founder of Digital Perspectives, speculated that the ruling might have opened the door for Washington to eventually claim Ripple's escrow. Nonetheless, some dismissed this claim as a stretch.
