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.

Oil Slumps By Over 2% On U.S. Trade Threats, Demand Concerns

Oil Slumps By Over 2% On U.S. Trade Threats, Demand Concerns

The post Oil Slumps By Over 2% On U.S. Trade Threats, Demand Concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A pipeline carries crude oil at Big Hill near Beaumont, Texas, U.S. (Photo: Joe Raedle/Newsmakers) Getty Images Global oil prices retreated sharply from two-week highs on Tuesday, following demand concerns and talk of further U.S. trade tariffs by President Donald Trump. Global proxy benchmark – Brent – saw its front-month futures contract close in London at $66.87 per barrel, down 2.11% or $1.46. Stateside, at 13:39pm EDT on Tuesday, the U.S. West Texas Intermediate front-month contract traded 2.27% or $1.47 lower at $63.33 per barrel. The intraday drop in prices came after crude futures posted gains in the region of 3% following an impasse in talks on ending the Ukraine war between the U.S. and Russia and lower inventory data. Market chatter on the U.S. Federal Reserve easing its monetary policy stance in favor of a September rate cut was also seen as being supportive of demand. However, the price uptick was abruptly halted and subsequently reversed on Tuesday after Trump said Russia would face “very heavy” sanctions if it did not make efforts to end the war and opened a direct negotiating channel with Ukraine. Reports are also emerging that Ukraine may have knocked out a fifth of Russia’s refining capacity via drone attacks, severely curtailing Moscow’s ability to service its war economy. According to Euronews, Ukraine’s recent strikes on ten Russian oil refineries have reportedly disrupted at least 17% of the country’s total refining capacity. That is an equivalent of 1.1 million barrels per day.

Can Prospect Konnor Griffin End Pittsburgh Pirates’ Offensive Woes?

Can Prospect Konnor Griffin End Pittsburgh Pirates’ Offensive Woes?

The post Can Prospect Konnor Griffin End Pittsburgh Pirates’ Offensive Woes? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pittsburgh Pirates already have the best young pitcher in all of baseball in Paul Skenes. Don’t look now, but they just may have the best young hitter in Konnor Griffin. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound right-hander is a “potential five-tool superstar at the highest level, with some of the biggest upside in the whole draft,” said Justin Horowitz, the Pirates’ amateur scouting director. Recently promoted to Double-A Altoona, Griffin has impressed manager Andy Fox there. “You see the at bats getting better, as far as making in-game, in at-bat adjustments,” Fox told the Altoona Mirror. “I think that you see that, and when situations arise, he’s not trying to do too much and you just see the maturing process going live.” CLEARWATER, FL: Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Konnor Griffin bats against and the Philadelphia Phillies at BayCare Ballpark in a spring training game on March 14, 2025. (Photo by Mike Carlson/MLB Photos via Getty Images) MLB Photos via Getty Images Griffin, 19, is hitting .329 in his first year in the minors after being the ninth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. Here are some of his accomplishments in 107 games over three levels this year: 63 stolen bases in 74 tries (.851) 101 runs scored .410 on-base percentage .922 OPS 41 of his 139 hits have been for extra bases (.294) 21 doubles 16 homers 7 errors in 299 chances at shortstop (.977) 0 errors in 32 chances in center field The only flaw has been his ratio of 107 strikeouts to 45 walks – and there are scouts who maintain that is a red flag. Will it get worse or can Griffin adjust? Naysayers point to Oneil Cruz, also a shortstop-outfielder who got to Pittsburgh at age 22 after hitting .310 with 17 homers and 19 steals in 2021…

Trump Calls For Death Penalty For D.C. Murders

Trump Calls For Death Penalty For D.C. Murders

The post Trump Calls For Death Penalty For D.C. Murders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline President Donald Trump said Tuesday his administration would seek the death penalty for anyone convicted of murder in Washington, D.C., intensifying his anti-crime rhetoric as he pursues a crackdown in major cities. US President Donald Trump participates in a cabinet meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on August 26, 2025. (Photo by MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images Key Facts Trump said the death penalty would be “a very strong preventative” against murders in Washington, D.C., while speaking during a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, adding “I don’t know if we’re ready for it in this country, but we have no choice.” Trump claimed “everybody that’s heard” his idea “agrees with it.” The death penalty is outlawed for local crime in D.C., and multiple efforts to reinstate it have failed, but federal prosecutors can still pursue the punishment for certain federal offenses. Trump made the comments while discussing his crime crackdown in Washington, including a federal takeover of the city’s police force and deployment of federal law enforcement officials in other states, and efforts to replicate the initiative in other major cities. Tangent Trump’s first administration carried out a record-setting 13 executions. Former Attorney General Merrick Garland, under former President Joe Biden, halted all federal executions pending a Justice Department review of its death penalty policy. Key Background Trump has repeatedly called for a reinstatement of the death penalty, writing on Truth Social in December “as soon as I am inaugurated, I will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty” after Biden announced he had commuted the sentences of most people on federal death row. Since taking office, Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized federal prosecutors to pursue 19 executions, though judges have blocked several of them from moving…

RJ Barrett Trade Could Help Streamline The Raptors

RJ Barrett Trade Could Help Streamline The Raptors

The post RJ Barrett Trade Could Help Streamline The Raptors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TORONTO, CANADA – APRIL 3 : RJ Barrett (9) of Toronto Raptors in action during the NBA basketball game between Portland Trail Blazers and Toronto Raptors at the Scotiabank Arena on April 3, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. (Photo by Mert Alper Dervis/Anadolu via Getty Images) Anadolu via Getty Images The Toronto Raptors have a roster that is both intriguing, and gushing of implosion vibes, all at the same time. During the trade deadline, the organization traded for Brandon Ingram, and have since handed him an extension worth $40 million per year, despite the presence of both Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett, offering up the obvious question: How are they all going to play at the same time? More than likely, they’re not. They might start together, and play spot minutes together all three, but mostly they’d have to get their minutes staggered. It’s also not out of the realm of possibility that the Raptors decide to pivot off one of their wings, in order to gain more roster symmetry. As Barnes is viewed as a foundational piece for the Raptors, and Ingram has yet to play a single game for the franchise, odds are good Barrett will be the one to get shopped down the line. What do the Raptors need? Assuming Barrett is shopped, the Raptors are going to need a few things, starting with more shooting. As Barnes is not yet a natural long-range shooter, and Ingram a reluctant one, it stands to reason the Raptors should look at players who can help space the floor, both off the dribble, and off the catch. Chicago’s Coby White, and Boston’s Derrick White, would be interesting candidates, although a deal with Chicago would be easier to facilitate given the salary attached to Coby ($12.8 million), than that of Derrick’s…

Flagship Integrates With Virtuals Protocol to Launch FYI Token on Base Chain

Flagship Integrates With Virtuals Protocol to Launch FYI Token on Base Chain

The post Flagship Integrates With Virtuals Protocol to Launch FYI Token on Base Chain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Flagship has launched its FYI token on Base chain through a FYI/VIRTUAL trading pair, as a prototype on the Virtuals Protocol. The integration aligns Flagship’s AI-driven trading platform with Virtuals’ growing ecosystem of agent-native tokens.  The company differentiates itself through its AI alpha agents, which identify cryptocurrency opportunities ahead of the curve by combining AI, social listening tools, and advanced analytics. “Between 28 May 2025 and 1 August 2025, Flagship’s AI trading agents published paper-trade calls that outperformed nearly every benchmark. Agent Joker (memes) signaled gains equivalent to +376%, Agent DeFi highlighted opportunities at +113%, Agent Base at +57%, and Agent Singularity at over +52%,” said Jorn VZ, CEO and co-founder of Flagship.  These results contrast sharply with muted performance across traditional assets: Bitcoin +6.29%, Nasdaq +10.58%, and Gold declining (-0.33%) over the same period. Flagship’s competitive edge lies in its AI trading personalities, each focused on distinct strategies. Agent Joker, for example, specializes in meme and social momentum plays, catching viral tokens such as $STUPID (+629%) before mainstream adoption. Agent DeFi highlights yield optimization and DeFi protocol plays, while Agent Singularity focuses on the AI-crypto intersection. Agent Base tracks projects and tokens native to Base chain. Unlike “black box” funds, Flagship emphasizes transparency through its Agent Terminal, where users can view decision logs, trade rationales, and watchlists in real time. This open design builds trust and makes its AI “Crypto Brain” accessible globally. Under the partnership, $FYI has launched on Uniswap with a FYI/VIRTUAL trading pair. This integration allows Virtuals users to acquire FYI directly within the Virtuals ecosystem while expanding liquidity through Uniswap’s established infrastructure. Over the past month, Virtuals has rolled out upgrades to expand liquidity access and improve integration for AI-native projects. Several tokens launched via Virtuals have performed strongly post-launch, contributing to growing interest in…

Not for R&D, not for acquisitions, not even for shareholder dividends—this money is earmarked primarily for one thing: Bitcoin.

Ethereum price will hit $7,500 by year-end, says Standard Chartered analyst

Ethereum price will hit $7,500 by year-end, says Standard Chartered analyst

It’s clear skies for Ethereum.That’s because treasury companies and exchange-traded funds are devouring coins at a pace that makes Bitcoin’s corporate buyers look like snails. Since June, Ethereum treasury companies — firms that are holding Ether on their balance sheets — have bought up about 2.6% of all Ether in circulation. Combined with Ethereum ETFs, nearly 5% of the market supply has been absorbed in just eight months — more than double Bitcoin’s fastest accumulation rate of 2% during Q4 of 2024.With Ether trading at about $4,500, just days after it notched a fresh record, the asset is primed for an even more explosive rally, according to Geoffrey Kendrick, head of digital assets strategy at UK-based bank, Standard Chartered.“ETH and the ETH treasury companies are cheap at today’s levels,” Kendrick wrote in a note to investors on Tuesday. His forecast? $7,500 “by year-end.”Kendrick’s math is pretty straightforward: when corporate treasuries hoover up supply faster than any period in crypto history, price should follow suit. And unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum buyers get a bonus — that 3% staking yield that Bitcoin can’t match. Other analysts have already said that Ethereum is a stronger corporate treasury play than Bitcoin. 10% of all EtherTo get to $7,500, Ether will need a lot of lifting from the asset’s main buyer nowadays: treasury companies.In a July note, Kendrick predicted that corporate holders would end up owning 10% of all Ethereum in circulation. Right now, firms hold about 3.5% on corporate balance sheets, and they show no signs of slowing down. “I think the 10% looks well in hand, with 7.4% still to go,” wrote Kendrick today. Of late, Ethereum treasuries have been relentless. BitMine, a small-time Bitcoin miner turned Ethereum treasury firm, holds about 1.7 million Ether worth around $7.7 billion. Just last week, the firm added $900 million in Ether. BitMine aims to control 5% of Ether’s total supply, while planning to raise an additional $20 billion for further purchases. But the firm led by Wall Street strategist and Bitcoin permabull isn’t alone. Sharplink Gaming, an online casino platform steered by crypto bulwark Joe Lubin, is also buying up Ethereum in droves. It now holds about 740,000 Ether worth around $3.3 billion.There’s another 68 corporate Ethereum holders. Cheaper than MicroStrategyNotwithstanding their aggressive accumulation, some Ethereum treasury companies are trading at a discount — a situation that plagues one in three Bitcoin treasury firms. The two most established Ethereum treasuries, SBET and BMNR, trade just around an mNAV of 1, but below Strategy’s net asset value multiple. mNAV stands for market to net asset value and is basically a company’s market valuation compared to its underlying crypto holdings. Strategy has an mNAV of 1.4, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.That’s backwards, according to Kendrick, since Ethereum treasuries capture staking yields while Strategy captures nothing but price appreciation.Stock buybacksBut Ethereum treasuries have an ace up their sleeve. Sharplink has announced automatic buybacks if their stock falls below net asset value. BitMine has hinted at something similar. SharpLink will repurchase its own stock anytime its NAV multiple drops below 1. This would create a hard floor for valuations, and protect against the spiral of doom that is threatening Bitcoin treasury companies. For Kendrick, the setup is clear: record institutional buying, staking yields providing steady returns, and buyback protections creating valuation floors.Now that treasuries could be on track to lock up one in every 10 Ethereum, and ETFs notching steady inflows, the supply squeeze is accelerating.
