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.

Secondary tariffs against India come into force – ING

Secondary tariffs against India come into force – ING

The post Secondary tariffs against India come into force – ING appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Oil prices were unable to extend their 4-day run of gains, with ICE Brent coming under pressure yesterday to settle 2.3% lower. There was no single catalyst for yesterday’s move. However, the recent run-up in the market was starting to become increasingly detached from fundamentals, which are more bearish, ING’s commodity analysts Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey note. Secondary tariffs haven’t been enough to stop India from buying Russian Oil “US President Trump’s 25% secondary tariffs against India come into effect today, taking the total levy on US imports from India to 50%. The secondary tariff has not been enough to stop India from buying Russian Oil. Initially, secondary tariffs saw Indian refiners pause purchases. They have resumed purchases. The market will be watching Russian Oil flows to India closely going forward to gauge the impact, if any, of secondary tariffs.” “Meanwhile, numbers from the American Petroleum Institute overnight were fairly neutral, with US crude Oil inventories falling by 1m barrels over the last week. Gasoline and distillate stocks saw declines, falling by 2.1m barrels and 1.5m barrels, respectively. The draw in distillate stocks was slightly supportive for the middle distillate market, particularly given that we are in a period where stocks usually grow.” “Overall distillate stock levels remain below the seasonal 5-year average. The more widely followed Energy Information Administration (EIA) weekly inventory report will be released later today.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/secondary-tariffs-against-india-come-into-force-ing-202508270851

Ripple’s RLUSD Launches on Aave’s Horizon RWA Market

Ripple’s RLUSD Launches on Aave’s Horizon RWA Market

The post Ripple’s RLUSD Launches on Aave’s Horizon RWA Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple has gone one step further with its DeFi objectives following the inclusion of RLUSD into Aave’s Horizon. The move enables tokenized products to be used as collateral and allows liquidity to flow more efficiently across digital markets. Both firms presented the launch as a major step in bringing institutional-grade products into open finance. Aave’s Horizon RWA Market Launches on Ethereum with Ripple’s RLUSD as Core Collateral Aave announced that its Horizon Real World Asset (RWA) market is live on Ethereum, giving investors the chance to earn yield from institutional borrowers. It is designed to work with tokenized physical assets and can be of utility in decentralized finance applications. Enabling a new era of efficiency for onchain finance.$RLUSD is a crucial piece of @Aave‘s Horizon platform, allowing tokenized products to be used as collateral and flow more efficiently across markets. https://t.co/KC0D8Wi4zp — Ripple (@Ripple) August 27, 2025 Ripple emphasized that the RLUSD is the major component of this market reinforcing the significance of tokenized assets in daily transactions. After the assets are deposited, they are added to specific pools of RWA available to institutional borrowers. Notably, the platform enables liquidity providers to earn an interest, and RLUSD is among the other stablecoins such as USDC and GHO owned by Aave. With the availability of RLUSD on this platform, firms now have the freedom to send funds with ease. Also, they will be doing so without disobeying onchain regulations. This offers an additional efficiency to the digital asset market. In addition, it follows the long-term ambitions of Ripple and the Aave lending ecosystem. Aave noted that the design also supports the permissionless supply of stablecoins. Hence, this makes it possible to connect wider DeFi markets with traditional financial products. This marks an important move, offering banks, funds, and institutions simpler access…

Mastercard & Circle Expand USDC Settlement to New Regions

The post Mastercard & Circle Expand USDC Settlement to New Regions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Mastercard and Circle are expanding their partnership to offer USDC and EURC settlement in new regions The move allows merchants in Africa and the Middle East to get faster, cheaper payment settlements Arab Financial Services (AFS) and Eazy Financial Services are the first to use the new feature Mastercard is deepening its partnership with Circle to bring stablecoin settlement to acquirers in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EEMEA). For the first time, businesses in these regions can settle transactions using Circle’s USDC and EURC. This move shows Mastercard’s commitment to integrating blockchain assets with traditional finance and giving merchants more efficient settlement options.  How Do Stablecoins Improve Payments? Using stablecoins for settlement gives acquirers and merchants several key advantages. Besides reducing reliance on old-school banking rails, stablecoins improve liquidity, speed up payment cycles, and lower operational costs.  This move directly solves key challenges around delayed settlements and cross-border payments. The combination of Mastercard’s huge global network and Circle’s trusted digital dollar and euro makes the initiative a major step forward for emerging markets. As Kash Razzaghi, Chief Business Officer at Circle, noted, wider adoption will bring “global access, scale, and borderless trade opportunities.” Who Are the First Companies to Use This System? Arab Financial Services (AFS) and Eazy Financial Services are the first acquirers in the EEMEA region to use the new stablecoin capability.  Samer Soliman, CEO of AFS, said the service offers “much-needed efficiency” for high-volume settlements. Nayef Al Alawi, CEO of Eazy Financial Services, highlighted that the initiative helps them deliver “faster and more secure payment solutions” that meet the evolving needs of merchants. Mastercard’s Broader Stablecoin Strategy This partnership with Circle is a key part of Mastercard’s larger strategy to stay at the forefront of payment innovation. The company is actively exploring other stablecoin use…

How did Flipr become a dark horse in the social prediction market after a 100-fold increase in two months?

How did Flipr become a dark horse in the social prediction market after a 100-fold increase in two months?

By ChandlerZ, Foresight News From late June to late August of this year, Flipr's price performance was truly remarkable. Two months prior, its market capitalization was less than $2 million, drawing virtually no interest. By August 27th, the project's market capitalization had climbed to a peak of $21 million, a more than 100-fold increase, including a 16-fold increase in August alone. So, what exactly is Flipr? Simply put, it's not a new prediction market, but rather a social portal to the prediction market. Unlike Polymarket or Kalshi, which require independent platforms and interfaces, Flipr takes a more lightweight approach: embedding itself directly into social platform X. What is Flipr: The “social layer” of prediction markets? Flipr officially launched in July 2025, with its core entry point being Fliprbot, a trading bot running on the X platform. Unlike traditional prediction markets, which require navigating to a separate website, browsing a list of markets, connecting to a wallet, and then placing a bet, Flipr condenses the entire process into a social conversation. Users simply tag @fliprbot on an X or enter a natural language command in a private message, such as "Will Donald Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025?" followed by their bet direction and amount, to complete the transaction. The bet information then appears on the timeline as content, becoming a social event that can be copied, forwarded, and questioned. Flipr essentially integrates trading and posting, making every bet publicly visible. To lower the barrier to entry, Flipr has integrated Privy's account system at the bottom layer and introduced derivative features such as leveraged trading and stop-loss/take-profit functions. Betting is no longer an isolated activity after a redirect, but a natural extension of the conversation. Flipr even supports group chat and community integration. Group administrators can create markets instantly within conversations, allowing users to discuss and place bets simultaneously, making predictions a part of social interaction, just like chat stickers. The logic behind this design is clear. Traditional prediction markets are more like tools for professional speculators, while Flipr aims to make trading a part of social interaction. However, rather than competing head-on with Polymarket or Kalshi, it chooses to focus on the front lines of user engagement. Polymarket and Kalshi provide trading depth and compliance, while Flipr provides visibility and reach. For prediction markets, this is a complementary relationship. Flipr acts as an amplifier, bringing previously specialized trading activities into the mainstream social landscape. This product logic determines its virality. Betting becomes a dynamic thread that can be forwarded, commented on, and even bet against. Opinions and financial bets overlap in the same space, amplifying the visibility of transactions across social networks. Flipr transforms the prediction market from a tool into a form of content, and this spreadability is the key to its rapid popularity. On July 7, Flipr launched the Mindshare Mining campaign, which lasted for six weeks and distributed a total of 10 million FLIPR tokens as rewards. Unlike common transaction mining, it doesn't simply reward transaction volume, but instead incorporates a more complex scoring system that seeks to integrate betting and social interaction. Points are calculated across five dimensions: The most intuitive aspect is that the larger the transaction volume, the higher the user's score. Posting time is also factored in, with the earliest posts of the week receiving greater weight, encouraging immediate user participation. Consecutive postings receive additional rewards. Furthermore, the project has built-in anti-spam constraints into the mechanism, with excessive posting resulting in point deductions to prevent the community from being overwhelmed by meaningless information. User interaction with posts is also factored in, with the number of likes, comments, and reposts directly impacting the final score. The landscape of the prediction market and the future of Flipr Flipr's rapid rise makes sense within the context of the prediction market's development. Over the past year, Polymarket and Kalshi have demonstrated the scale and potential of prediction markets, but neither has yet to launch a token. This has left investors without a direct target to invest in. Consequently, hot money has naturally flowed into Flipr, despite its small market capitalization and its association with the prediction market. Meanwhile, the popularity of prediction markets continues to grow. Polymarket's trading volume exceeded $9 billion in 2024, reaching $2.6 billion in a single month during the US election, firmly establishing itself as a leading crypto-native prediction platform. Kalshi, with CFTC approval, has rapidly expanded in the compliance sector, reaching nearly $2 billion in trading volume in 2024 and a $2 billion valuation after funding in 2025. Over the past two years, prediction markets have evolved from a fringe experiment into a rapidly growing niche market. According to official information, Flipr has already integrated with Polymarket and will soon integrate with Kalshi. Flipr isn't attempting to compete with major players in terms of liquidity or compliance, instead focusing on the front-end user experience. Platform X has 150 million daily active users, who already operate in an event-driven, sentiment-driven environment. Flipr embeds prediction markets into this context, allowing betting and posting to overlap, thereby lowering the barrier to entry. For Polymarket and Kalshi, this "social layer" may be the missing link. More importantly, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has publicly expressed his support for prediction markets on numerous occasions. Over the past two years, he has become a near-universal proponent of prediction markets, repeatedly emphasizing their role in promoting "information accuracy" and "cognitive correction." He noted that while in token voting, there are virtually no penalties for choosing the wrong outcome, in prediction markets, misjudgments can result in real financial losses. This mechanism forces participants to be more rational, and market prices often provide more accurate probabilities than media sentiment. For him personally, prediction markets help him maintain composure, preventing social media sentiment from amplifying the significance of events, while also providing a heads-up when truly significant events occur. Vitalik therefore views prediction markets as a social technology that can enhance rationality at the group level, highly aligned with the open governance goals of blockchain. At the same time, he frequently discussed the potential applications and areas for improvement of prediction markets. Vitalik pointed out that most prediction markets currently lack interest compensation, limiting their appeal as hedging tools. However, if this issue can be resolved in the future, related markets will spawn a large number of hedging applications and significantly increase trading volume. He also combined prediction markets with artificial intelligence, believing that AI-driven prediction markets could provide new avenues for community fact-checking, DAO adjudication, and even automated market making. For example, he envisioned embedding prediction markets within X's "Community Notes" feature, leveraging AI and incentives for small bets to accelerate the verification of facts. Vitalik even categorized prediction markets and community notes as the two flagship social cognitive technologies of the 2020s, believing that they are built on open participation rather than elite control and are important tools for promoting decentralized social governance. The key question going forward is whether Flipr can convert this short-term surge into long-term, stable growth. After the Mindshare Mining incentive program ends, user activity could decline if new mechanisms are lacking to maintain momentum. If the partnership with Kalshi can be further implemented, Flipr has the opportunity to become a social front-end for compliant predictive trading in the US market, which would provide new growth opportunities.

As NBA Continues To Make Mark In Africa, Pacers Assistant Lloyd Pierce Loves Being Part Of It

As NBA Continues To Make Mark In Africa, Pacers Assistant Lloyd Pierce Loves Being Part Of It

The post As NBA Continues To Make Mark In Africa, Pacers Assistant Lloyd Pierce Loves Being Part Of It appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 28: Lead assistant coach Lloyd Pierce reacts to a play against the Washington Wizards during the first half at Capital One Arena on October 28, 2022 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images) Getty Images As the basketball world continues its outreach into Africa, Indiana Pacers assistant coach Lloyd Pierce wants to be a part of it. Over the last few days, the NBA and FIBA teamed up to host a Basketball Without Borders Africa (BWB) camp in Kigali, Rwanda, and Pierce was one of six coaches who led campers throughout the four-day event. “It’s important for the connectivity to be there. It’s important that we continue to stay over here in the summer and throughout the year and help grow the game. And that’s not just on the court,” Pierce said of planting NBA and basketball roots in Africa. “That’s with the officials that are here that are learning, and that’s with the coaches and how they teach the game. They’re here and they’re in their respective home countries, teaching the game at all age levels.” This is the fourth time that Pierce has been involved in a BWB camp. This year, he and Charlotte Hornets head coach Charles Lee are in charge of the men’s portion of the event. They run participants through skill development drills, then some practice sessions followed by games. Afterward, there’s a coaches clinic with roughly 300 coaches. Pierce’s first BWB was in Tokyo back in 2012. This time, it’s in Rwanda – a significant decision. It’s the first time the camp has reached Eastern Africa after previous stops in Senegal, Angola, South Africa, and Egypt. “A lot of these guys are playing in arenas for the first time. A lot of these guys are getting passports for the…
