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.

Harvard Economist Who Predicted That Bitcoin Was More Likely to Hit $100 Than $100K Finally Speaks Out

Harvard Economist Who Predicted That Bitcoin Was More Likely to Hit $100 Than $100K Finally Speaks Out

The post Harvard Economist Who Predicted That Bitcoin Was More Likely to Hit $100 Than $100K Finally Speaks Out appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kenneth Rogoff, professor of economics at Harvard University, has taken to the X social media network to address his awful Bitcoin call, which recently went viral on social media.  He has outlined the main reasons why his prediction went so terribly wrong, with the lack of “sensible” regulation being one of them.  $100,000 instead of $100 In March 2018, Rogoff told CNBC that Bitcoin was “a lot more likely” to plunge to $100 than surge to $10,000 a decade from then.  The economist insisted that the cryptocurrency was being primarily used for laundering money and evading taxes, arguing that it failed to gain significant traction as a transaction vehicle.  Back then, the esteemed Harvard professor, who has published several influential papers, argued that a global regulatory crackdown would make the price of the cryptocurrency plunge lower.  Back then, the cryptocurrency was coming off a massive bull run that propelled its price to nearly $20,000. In May 2018, however, the cryptocurrency was trading at just roughly $11,000 after a substantial correction. It went on to plunge to $3,112 in December 2018 following a truly brutal bear market.  You Might Also Like Fast-forward to 2025, however, Bitcoin is now trading at $113,260 after recently reaching a new record high of $124,128. Key reasons behind this terrible call  While addressing his horrible Bitcoin price prediction, Rogoff admitted that he was “far too optimistic” about the US “coming to its senses” about the necessity to rein in crypto with “sensible” regulation.  He also claims that he did not expect Bitcoin to compete with fiat currencies as a transaction medium.  Finally, he never expects regulators to fully embrace crypto while allegedly ignoring conflicts of interest.  So, where is Bitcoin heading next?  As reported by U.Today, commodity trader Peter Brandt previously claimed that there was a…

USD/CHF turns sideways below 0.8100 as focus shifts to Jackson Hole Symposium

USD/CHF turns sideways below 0.8100 as focus shifts to Jackson Hole Symposium

The post USD/CHF turns sideways below 0.8100 as focus shifts to Jackson Hole Symposium appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF consolidates around 0.8080 as investors await Jackson Hole Symposium. Traders are confident that the Fed will cut interest rates in September. Investors await flash US S&P Global PMI for August, and Swiss Trade  Balance data for July. The USD/CHF pair trades in a tight range marginally below 0.8100 during the late Asian trading session on Wednesday. The Swiss Franc pair has been trading sideways from a week as investors await Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole (JH) Symposium, which is scheduled on Friday. Investors will pay close attention to Jerome Powell’s speech to get cues about whether the Fed will cut interest rates in the September monetary policy meeting. According to the CME FedWatch tool, there is an almost 85% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) to 4.00%-4.25% in the September meeting. Contrary to market expectations, Fed Powell has been guiding a “wait and see” approach, citing that the United States (US) central bank is still unable to gauge the overall impact of tariffs on inflation and the economy. During the press time, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades steadily near the weekly high around 98.00. Going forward, investors will focus on the preliminary US S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data for August, which will be published on Thursday. In Switzerland, investors will focus on Trade Balance data for July, which is scheduled to be released on Thursday. Economic Indicator Fed’s Chair Powell speech Jerome H. Powell took office as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on May 25, 2012, to fill an unexpired term.

Gold hits three-week low amid firmer USD, Russia-Ukraine peace hopes

Gold hits three-week low amid firmer USD, Russia-Ukraine peace hopes

The post Gold hits three-week low amid firmer USD, Russia-Ukraine peace hopes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold price continues to lose ground on Wednesday amid some follow-through USD buying. Diminishing odds for a jumbo Fed rate cut boost the USD and weigh on the precious metal. Hopes for a Russia-Ukraine deal further drive flows away from the safe-haven commodity. Gold (XAU/USD) hits a nearly three-week low during the Asian session on Wednesday, with the bears now awaiting a sustained break below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) before positioning for further losses. The US Dollar (USD) is seen prolonging its steady uptrend for the third straight day amid diminishing odds for a more aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed). This, in turn, is seen as a key factor undermining the non-yielding bullion. Apart from this, hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal exert additional downward pressure on the safe-haven Gold. Moving ahead, investors now look to the release of the FOMC meeting Minutes. Furthermore, Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium could offer fresh cues about the central bank’s policy outlook. This will play a key role in driving the USD demand in the near term and determining the next leg of a directional move for the commodity. Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold bears have the upper hand amid firmer USD; hopes for Russia-Ukraine peace deal Traders continue to price out the possibility of a jumbo interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, pushing the US Dollar to its highest level in more than a week and dragging the Gold price to a three-week low on Wednesday. This follows last Thursday’s release of hotter US Producer Price Index, which rose in July at the fastest monthly pace since 2022 and indicated a gain of momentum in price pressures. Diplomatic efforts to end the protracted Russia-Ukraine war picked up pace this…

Australian Dollar weakens as PBOC holds rates, US Dollar gains ahead of FOMC Minutes

Australian Dollar weakens as PBOC holds rates, US Dollar gains ahead of FOMC Minutes

The post Australian Dollar weakens as PBOC holds rates, US Dollar gains ahead of FOMC Minutes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Australian Dollar holds losses after the People’s Bank of China decided to leave its Loan Prime Rates unchanged. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that discussions between Washington and Beijing are progressing smoothly. Trump said that the US will not deploy troops to enforce a potential Ukraine peace deal. The Australian Dollar (AUD) edges lower against the US Dollar (USD) on Wednesday, extending its losses for the third consecutive session. The AUD/USD pair remains subdued after the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) announced to leave its one- and five-year Loan Prime Rates (LPRs) unchanged at 3.00% and 3.50%, respectively. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said late Monday that the talks between the United States (US) and China are going well, adding that he expects US growth to pick up in the fourth quarter (Q4). Bessent further noted that the current arrangement with China is highly effective, as the country remains the largest contributor to tariff revenue. The AUD/USD pair also struggles as the US Dollar (USD) extends its gains amid geopolitical developments. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that plans for a bilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are now underway, according to CNN. Australian Dollar declines as US Dollar strengthens on Ukraine-Russia peace hopes The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar against six major currencies, is gaining ground for the third successive day and trading around 98.30 at the time of writing. The US Federal Reserve’s Minutes for the July meeting will be eyed later in the North American session. Traders will shift their focus toward the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium due on Thursday, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on a September policy decision. US President Donald Trump said…

Euro extends downside below 1.1650 ahead of ECB’s Lagarde speech

Euro extends downside below 1.1650 ahead of ECB’s Lagarde speech

The post Euro extends downside below 1.1650 ahead of ECB’s Lagarde speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/USD softens to around 1.1635 in Wednesday’s early European session.  Traders await the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium on Friday to see whether Powell pushes back on rate cut bets.  A possible agreement to legitimize or end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine might cap the pair’s downside.  The EUR/USD pair extends the decline to near 1.1635 during the early European trading hours on Wednesday. The US Dollar (USD) strengthens against the Euro (EUR) as traders await the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) annual Jackson Hole symposium later on Friday for clues on the US interest rate path. A weak US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report earlier this month and cool Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data raised the odds for a Fed cut on September 17. Nonetheless, a hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) reading last week complicated the Fed’s policy picture.  Traders pared bets on a rate cut at the US Federal Reserve (Fed) at the September meeting, providing some support to the Greenback. Financial markets have priced in nearly 84% odds of such reductions and anticipate about 54 basis points (bps) of rate cuts by year-end. The speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell will take center stage on Friday as traders will keep an eye on any pushback against market pricing of a rate cut next month. If Powell leans dovish on interest rates, this might drag the USD lower and act as a tailwind for the major pair.  Across the pond, the European Central Bank’s (ECB) President Christine Lagarde speech will be the highlight on Wednesday. The remarks from ECB policymakers might offer some hints about the interest rate outlook in the Eurozone. Forward contracts on the ECB’s official overnight benchmark interest rate, the euro short-term rate (ESTR), imply around a 60% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut (bps) by March and a deposit rate of 1.92%…

Dogecoin Open Interest Underwater With 15,160,000,000 DOGE

Dogecoin Open Interest Underwater With 15,160,000,000 DOGE

The post Dogecoin Open Interest Underwater With 15,160,000,000 DOGE appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. DOGE bull season over? What’s next for DOGE? The crypto market is in a massive bloodbath and investors’ confidence has continued to weaken. Amid this negative market condition, data from Coinglass shows that the largest meme token by market capitalization, Dogecoin (DOGE), has seen its futures open interest decline by 8.24% over the last day. The data shows that the total number of active futures contracts involving Dogecoin that have not been settled has dropped significantly to 15.16 billion DOGE worth approximately $3.25 billion. You Might Also Like This marks a massive decrease from the number of DOGE recorded the previous day, sitting at its bare levels since the beginning of August. DOGE bull season over? The plunge in Dogecoin’s open interest comes as the meme coin falls significantly in its trading price, struggling to hold key support levels. While the price plunge is experienced across the broad crypto market, prices of altcoins and memecoins are mirroring the broader market downturn led by Bitcoin and Ethereum. With this unfavorable market trend, risk appetite across altcoins and meme assets has declined massively, and such highly volatile cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin have continued to plunge deeper over the past days. With Dogecoin falling notably by 8.24% in the last day, it appears that traders are increasingly exiting leveraged positions. While the latest liquidation trends have seen traders opening long positions suffer massive losses, the decrease in DOGE’s open interest signals weakening confidence among investors. As such, the unsettled futures contracts have probably been wiped out by liquidation, or the traders are closing positions to hedge against the possibility of suffering further losses. What’s next for DOGE? Following speculations that the broad crypto market might already be slowly entering its bearish phase, investors are wary of committing more funds to the asset’s derivatives market.…

Wyoming Launches America’s First State-Authorized Stable Token

Wyoming Launches America’s First State-Authorized Stable Token

The post Wyoming Launches America’s First State-Authorized Stable Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The state of Wyoming in the U.S. has officially launched a stablecoin named Frontier Stable Token (FRNT). This is a pioneering move that will revolutionize how authorities leverage digital finance for public governance. Mark Gordon, the Governor of Wyoming, announced FRNT as the first stablecoin issued by a U.S. Public entity. This is a landmark event in the history of stablecoins and also with respect to the evolution of digital assets in the country. The token, as announced by the Governor, is designed for trust, safety, transparency, and ease of business that will serve as a reliable medium for digital payments and transactions.  A New Standard for Transparency and Trust The Frontier Stable Token is designed and launched by the Wyoming Token Commission, a government entity that has been established to oversee the design, creation, and management of state-owned digital assets. The commission confirmed that their product FRNT is backed by U.S. Treasury securities and is managed under a professionally convened trust. This trust ensures that the token is collateralized 1-for-1 as a highly secure and liquid asset.  To build public trust and confidence in the coin, the commission will arrange regular audits at set intervals, guaranteeing transparency and security of their investment in the token. On the launch date, the Governor said that the token is meant to build confidence, safety, transparency, and convenience in doing business.

The architecture of the token is built around the interoperability protocol from LayerZero. This allows the authorities to launch the token across seven leading blockchains. These include Ethereum, Avalanche, Solana, Base, Polygon, Arbitrium, and Optimism.  The Multichain…

Bitcoin zwaar onder druk terwijl shorters toeslaan

Bitcoin zwaar onder druk terwijl shorters toeslaan

Snelle crypto updates? Connect op Instagram! Check onze Instagram   De Bitcoin koers staat opnieuw onder druk. Voor het eerst sinds januari 2025 signaleren analisten dat de markt in de gevarenzone komt. Volgens data van CryptoQuant zijn het met name de short term holders die hun munten massaal van de hand doen. Deze groep, die hun Bitcoin korter dan 155 dagen in bezit heeft, lijkt geschrokken van de dalingen na de all-time high van ruim $124.000 eerder dit jaar. Short term holders capituleren Short term holders worden in de markt vaak omschreven als ‘toeristen’. Het zijn beleggers die instappen tijdens euforische periodes, wanneer de koers hard stijgt en Bitcoin volop in de media verschijnt. Zodra de markt tegenzit, drukken zij vaak als eersten op de verkoopknop. De afgelopen maanden konden deze holders hun posities nog met winst verkopen. Nu is de situatie anders: gemiddeld genomen leveren ze hun Bitcoin juist met verlies in. Daarmee herhaalt zich een patroon dat we voor het laatst in januari 2025 zagen, toen ook een correctie volgde na een periode van sterke stijging. Gevaarlijk patroon op de grafieken Uit de on-chain data van CryptoQuant blijkt dat de huidige verkoopdruk sterk lijkt op eerdere periodes waarin de koers fors terugviel. De zogenaamde Realized Price, de gemiddelde aankoopprijs van short term holders, ligt op dit moment hoger dan de actuele marktprijs. Dat betekent dat deze groep hun munten met verlies verkoopt, een teken van capitulatie. Dit soort fases zijn doorgaans pijnlijk voor de koers op de korte termijn. Het dumpen van munten kan immers leiden tot extra aanbod, waardoor de prijs verder wegzakt. Voor traders en investeerders die de markt volgen, is dit een duidelijk waarschuwingssignaal.

Het fenomeen staat bekend als het ‘uitfilteren van zwakke handen’. Beleggers zonder overtuiging verlaten de markt, terwijl lange termijn investeerders of nieuwe kopers met meer vertrouwen hun plek innemen. Juist dit zijn vaak de momenten waarop ervaren beleggers kansen zien. Historisch gezien zijn de moeilijkste marktfases vaak de meest lucratieve instapmomenten gebleken voor wie een langere horizon aanhoudt. Psychologie van de markt Het menselijk brein speelt in deze dynamiek een grote rol. Instappen op een all-time high voelt comfortabel, omdat de markt positief is en de hype groot. Maar investeren tijdens een correctie vergt meer overtuiging. De huidige fase kan dus gezien worden als een test van vertrouwen in Bitcoin. De vraag is nu hoe snel de bulls erin slagen om de verkoopdruk te absorberen. Als zij de verkoopgolven van short term holders kunnen opvangen zonder dat de koers diep wegzakt, kan dit de basis vormen voor een nieuwe stijging. Welke crypto gaat stijgen?Check onze gids over de crypto die volgens ons snel kan gaan stijgen! Elke crypto investeerder zoekt naar de volgende munt die in waarde kan exploderen. Geopolitieke spanningen en economische onzekerheden hebben vaak een positief effect op de markt. Tegelijkertijd bereikt Ethereum met $270 miljard een nieuwe all-time high in tokenized assets, en waarschuwen analisten voor bubbels. Maar welke crypto gaat stijgen? In dit artikel bekijken experts welke… Continue reading Bitcoin zwaar onder druk terwijl shorters toeslaan document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { var screenWidth = window.innerWidth; var excerpts = document.querySelectorAll('.lees-ook-description'); excerpts.forEach(function(description) { var excerpt = description.getAttribute('data-description'); var wordLimit = screenWidth wordLimit) { var trimmedDescription = excerpt.split(' ').slice(0, wordLimit).join(' ') + '...'; description.textContent = trimmedDescription; } }); }); Consolidatie of nieuwe daling? De markt bevindt zich op een cruciaal kantelpunt. Als het koopvolume sterk genoeg is, kan Bitcoin in een fase van consolidatie terechtkomen, waarbij de koers stabiliseert en langzaam weer opveert. Lukt dat niet, dan ligt een verdere daling voor de hand, zeker als het vertrouwen van beleggers verder afbrokkelt. Analisten blijven verdeeld: sommigen wijzen op de sterke fundamenten van Bitcoin en zien deze fase als een gezonde correctie in een opwaartse trend. Anderen vrezen dat een langere periode van neerwaartse druk nodig is om het sentiment volledig te resetten.
