The AI crypto hype has gone cold, leaving speculators holding the bag. Meanwhile, RWA and Bitcoin are where the real money is flowing. The game has changed.
Ondo Finance launched Ondo Network on Monday, July 27, an offchain execution network that replaces the L1 blockchain announced in 2025. The real asset tokenization platform believes that a dedicated blockchain is no longer necessary today. A shift that reignites the debate about the real utility of on-chain infrastructure for traditional finance.
Tom Lee, the head of research at Fundstrat, believes that AI-related capital is shifting towards Ethereum rather than memory chip manufacturers. Over one month, ETH gained 24% while the Roundhill Memory ETF, or DRAM, fell by 38%.
Solana keeps printing tokens like there's no tomorrow, but the network's cashbox is running on empty. Is this a success story or a cautionary tale?
Tokenization is gradually establishing itself as one of the main axes of transformation in financial markets. After several years dedicated to experiments around blockchain, many institutions now seem to be preparing for a larger-scale deployment. A new survey conducted by Broadridge among 200 North American executives illustrates this evolution. The results show that financial players increasingly view tokenized assets as an element set to integrate into market infrastructures, rather than a mere innovation in the testing phase.
Tokenization has just reached a major milestone on Wall Street. More than 30 financial players participated in the DTCC test, which moved securities held in its central depository to blockchain networks. This is no longer a showcase demonstration. It is a market trial, involving banks, exchanges, asset managers, and crypto infrastructures.
Bitget has launched Stocks 2.0, expanding its stock ecosystem with two ways to access U.S. equities from one platform: tokenized stock exposure through rTokens and real U.S. stock access through Stock+. The launch is part of Bitget’s broader Universal Exchange vision, where users can access crypto, tokenized assets, commodities, equities, and other global markets within a single account environment.
The cryptocurrency market has experienced mixed developments in recent days, but Ether stood out with a 3% increase between Thursday and Friday. This rise occurs in a context marked by the growth of tokenization, the successful launch of Robinhood Chain, and continued purchases by several companies. Despite this favorable dynamic, surpassing the 1,800-dollar threshold remains out of reach. On-chain data and indicators from derivative markets still show signs of weakness, limiting short-term growth potential.
Tokenized stocks are changing scale. In one month, transfers jumped by 105% to reach 8.41 billion dollars. The distributed market value also rises to 2.16 billion dollars. It is no longer just a crypto experiment: Wall Street and blockchain platforms are already competing for the same ground.
As on-chain data establishes itself as a credibility barometer, the XRP ecosystem once again attracts attention thanks to tangible adoption indicators. This development reveals a deeper market transformation, where the strength of a network is measured as much by the daily engagement of its users as by its ability to attract institutional capital.
In an already tense context for tokenized real estate, RealT initiates a decisive step with the voluntary liquidation of its American structures. The project, which attracted thousands of investors worldwide, especially in France, now undertakes the progressive sale of its entire real estate portfolio. This decision comes as the company faces increasing legal, financial, and operational pressures, calling into question the solidity of its initial model.
While most altcoins plunge and see their market capitalization fall to its lowest level since December 2023, Solana follows a radically different trajectory. Contrary to a pressured market, the network attracts capital at a steady pace and fuels renewed interest around its SOL token. This decoupling, rare in the crypto ecosystem, intrigues both investors and analysts alike. Behind this resistance are two distinct drivers: a fundamental dynamic carried by the network and a speculative momentum that further enhances its attractiveness.
Tokenization is gaining ground in financial markets and is now sparking a broader debate about the future of monetary infrastructures. In a new analysis, the IMF believes this development goes far beyond the scope of digital payments. The institution considers that the transfer of financial assets to shared digital ledgers could profoundly change the functioning of markets. However, this transformation will depend on policy choices, legal rules, and the organization of infrastructures that will accompany this new stage.
Bitget is placing tokenization, artificial intelligence and broader market access at the center of its strategy for the rest of 2026. In her mid-year address, CEO Gracy Chen described a platform moving beyond the traditional crypto exchange model. Bitget now wants to connect stocks, gold, CFDs and digital assets within one financial environment.
Robinhood, the traders' favorite broker, becomes a blockchain builder. Tokenization and AI on the menu, all on an L2 network. Wall Street watches, crypto fans are buzzing.
BNB Chain surpasses Solana with $5.2B in tokenized stocks. A major turning point for tokenisation and real assets on blockchain.
Grayscale sees Aave undervalued and promises it $175. Wall Street bankers are already buzzing, but the DeFi protocol remains cautious after the KelpDAO shock.
Interest in financial assets on blockchain continues to grow in the United States. In this context, Coinbase announced the upcoming arrival of tokenized American stocks backed by real securities. This initiative comes as several platforms seek to position themselves in this emerging market. Stock tokenization is indeed attracting more and more players who want to bring traditional financial markets closer to the blockchain ecosystem.
Standard Chartered predicts that the total value locked in DeFi will reach $2.7 trillion by the end of 2030, a 37-fold increase from current levels. This forecast is based on two distinct drivers: the migration of tokenized real-world assets to the blockchain, and the rise of crypto protocols. But is such a trajectory realistic when only 3% of stablecoins still circulate in decentralized protocols?
Exchange platforms had to review their operation around tokenized shares. Binance, Bybit, and Bitget refunded their clients after the failure of an allocation linked to SpaceX. This case occurs at a time closely watched by the crypto market, as Elon Musk’s space company attracts strong attention regarding its valuation and its pre-IPO access.
While the crypto market is going through a slowdown phase, one segment continues to break records in relative silence. According to Binance Research, tokenized real-world assets (RWA) have jumped by nearly 600%, driven by the explosion of tokenized stocks, digital gold, and blockchain real estate. Long presented as a technological promise, tokenization is now attracting institutional investors and major banks to the point of becoming one of the most strategic projects in global finance.
Gold joins your wallet! Tether and Fasset have just launched the very first gold-backed Visa card (XAUt). Revolution or gimmick? We explain everything to you.
Washington brings out the regulatory hammer, but this time the SEC promises to spare the crypto ecosystem. Behind the institutional smiles, traders, lobbyists, and financiers are already quietly reshaping their small American digital empires.
Ethereum struggles to convince markets for months, but Standard Chartered refuses to give in to the prevailing pessimism. The British bank has just reaffirmed one of the boldest forecasts in the sector: an ETH at 40,000 dollars in the long term. To justify this bet, the institution highlights a simple observation: the current value of the network would not yet reflect its growing weight in decentralized finance, stablecoins, and asset tokenization.
The BIS's Agorá project has reached a decisive stage. After months of simulations, its members are moving to real value transactions to test the tokenization of central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits. Seven central banks and over 40 private financial institutions are participating in the initiative.
In the quiet corridors of tokenized finance, Ondo Finance has suddenly lost its great discreet strategist. Behind the polite tributes, crypto investors, traders, and American funds now nervously recount their coins.
The price of the crypto SOL collapsed by 33% in the first quarter of 2026. Yet, behind this brutal decline, the Solana network has never been so active. How to explain this paradox?
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was supposed to reach a historic milestone this week. Instead, it chose to slow down. This unexpected delay raises a central question: is the tokenization of traditional assets really ready to enter US law?
Tokenization is reaching a new level. Standard Chartered predicts nearly $4 trillion worth of assets could land on the blockchain by 2028, driven by stablecoins and real-world assets. A forecast that speaks as much about the future of crypto as it does about the deep transformation of traditional finance.
Chainlink establishes itself as one of the big winners in the RWA market. The project leads Stellar and Avalanche in several rankings, while tokenized real assets become a major battleground for blockchain infrastructures.
