Bitget is seeing faster adoption of tokenized equities as rTokens move beyond their launch phase. Its July 2026 Transparency Report shows more than $114 million in assets under management, $671.37 million in cumulative trading volume and an 18-fold increase in daily trading-user penetration since launch. The figures suggest tokenized markets are beginning to attract repeat activity rather than one-off experimentation.
Ethereum still concentrates nearly 70% of the RWA deposits used in lending, while Solana strengthens its presence in spot trading of tokenized assets. The crypto battle is therefore no longer only about classic DeFi. It is shifting towards the tokenization of real financial assets, a market that is growing while several traditional segments of decentralized finance are slowing down.
The BRICS face a decisive summit in an unprecedented climate of tension. Gathered in New Delhi on September 12 and 13, 2026, the ten members of the bloc must present a common vision on strategic issues such as dedollarization and economic cooperation.

This meeting will determine whether the BRICS can still turn their ambitions into a real alternative to the dollar-dominated financial system.
In 2026, more than 100 crypto projects have shut down, filed for bankruptcy, or ceased operations, according to RootData. This wave has affected exchanges, wallets, DeFi, NFTs, and some blockchains.

The sector is therefore entering a broad and highly visible phase of consolidation.
While the crypto market struggles to find a clear direction, China is quietly accelerating its strategy on a completely different front. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has once again increased its gold reserves, confirming a policy of accumulation carried out for several months. This choice reflects Beijing's desire to strengthen its financial autonomy in an environment marked by geopolitical tensions, monetary uncertainties, and the questioning of the global economic order.
