Under the RMB appreciation channel, USDT exhibits negative premiums, and investors do not need to panic excessively. It is recommended to maintain an appropriate proportion of stablecoin assets, which can be hedged through on-chain exchange rate strategies, such as allocating to Euro stablecoins or gold RWA, to moderately avoid exchange rate losses.

The RWA (Real World Asset) narrative has been hot for years, with endless claims that "everything can be tokenized"—real estate, art, fine wine, carbon credits, and more. It all sounds revolutionary, but most of these ideas are fundamentally misguided.

Author: imToken Objectively speaking, for Crypto/Web3, 2025 will definitely be the most transformative year in the past decade. If the past ten years have been the "wild growth" of the crypto industry on the fringes of mainstream finance, then 2025 marks the first year of this species' official "legalization evolution": From stablecoins to RWA, from policy U-turns in Washington to regulatory frameworks in Hong Kong and the EU, the global regulatory logic is undergoing an epic paradigm shift. 1. United States: Crypto Enters a Period of Institutional Recognition For a considerable period, US regulation of the crypto industry has resembled a tug-of-war lacking consensus. Among them, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Gary Gensler has been particularly active, frequently using enforcement actions to define the legal boundaries of crypto assets, filing lawsuits,

Article by: Glendon, Techub News After briefly climbing above $90,000 yesterday, Bitcoin fell below $87,000 again today, with a intraday decline of 3.76%. Meanwhile, the crypto market has once again experienced a broad decline. According to SoSoValue data, no major sector in the market was spared, with 24-hour declines generally exceeding 3%. Among them, SocialFi, Layer2, AI, RWA, and NFT sectors were hit hardest, each dropping more than 5%. In terms of institutional investment, CoinShares' latest data shows that digital asset investment products saw a net outflow of approximately $446 million last week, bringing the total outflow since October 10 to $3.2 billion. Additionally, last week, Bitcoin spot

BlackRock's tokenized money market fund, BUIDL, has distributed $100 million in dividends, marking it as the largest tokenized U.S. Treasury offering. Launched in March 2024 on Ethereum, it demonstrates the potential for real-world asset implementation on blockchains, gaining significant investor attention and signaling institutional confidence in regulated financial products.

On-chain data shows that the value of tokenized RWA on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has increased by an impressive 2,200% in 2025 alone. The real-world asset tokenization theme, championed by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and the SEC Chair Paul Atkins, dominated discussions across multiple crypto communities t

Cryptocurrency Market Overview BTC (-0.37% | Current Price 87,393 USDT): Bitcoin remains in a narrow range between $86,000 and $90,000, having been repeatedly rejected near $90,000 since mid-December. Recent price movements resemble a consolidation phase after volatility contraction rather than a trend continuation, with both bulls and bears temporarily reaching a stage of balance. Once the price effectively breaks through the critical resistance zone of $90,000–$92,000, upward momentum is expected to re-ignite. From an on-chain perspective, Bitcoin is gradually transitioning from the previous aggressive selling phase to a stabilization phase. Currently, a large number of spot buy orders, mainly from whales, are clustered around the current price level, forming a stark contrast to earlier pullbacks dominated by retail traders and a noticeable absence of large participants. The sustained involvement of spot whales typically indicates longer-term position building, especially common in low-volatility environments.

Cantor Fitzgerald warns that Bitcoin has entered a long-term downturn, having been above the high point for 85 days, and may test MicroStrategy's cost basis at $75,000. However, institutional adoption rates are surging against the trend, with RWA tokenization value increasing to $18.5 billion this year and expected to break $50 billion by 2026. DEX expansion and the CLARITY bill provide regulatory clarity, and the market is now dominated by institutions rather than retail investors, marking the industry’s move into an institutionalized phase.

According to the latest data from DefiLlama, the total value locked (TVL) in Real World Asset (RWA) protocols has surpassed $17 billion, successfully overtaking decentralized exchanges (DEX) by the end of 2025, ranking as the fifth largest category in DeFi ecosystem TVL, just behind lending, liquidity staking, cross-chain bridges, and re-staking sectors. This milestone achievement signifies that the driving force behind DeFi's development is shifting from pure on-chain financial experiments to the large-scale absorption of traditional yield assets and safe-haven assets. The core driver of this wave is not speculation, but rather institutional asset-liability management needs in a "higher and longer" interest rate environment, as well as macro allocation demands stimulated by the rise of gold and silver. This silent transformation indicates that the integration of the crypto economy with the trillion-dollar traditional financial market has entered a phase of substantial acceleration.

Renowned financial institution Cantor Fitzgerald pointed out in its latest year-end report that the cryptocurrency market may be entering the early stages of a new "crypto winter," which could echo Bitcoin's approximately four-year cycle. However, unlike previous adjustments, this cycle is expected to be less chaotic, more institution-led, and increasingly defined by decentralized finance, real-world asset tokenization, and clearer regulations. The report data shows that the total on-chain RWA value has surged to $18.5 billion this year and is expected to surpass $50 billion by 2026. Although Bitcoin prices may face pressure, the market infrastructure and participants are undergoing profound structural changes, laying the foundation for a more sustainable growth in the next cycle.

On December 29, the People's Bank of China announced that the new digital yuan framework will be launched on January 1, 2026, emphasizing central bank regulation, the liability nature of commercial banks, account-based systems, and compatibility with distributed ledger technology.

The cryptocurrency venture capital market is undergoing changes, with the boom in public chain financing cooling down, and investors shifting their focus to application projects with real users and revenue. Emerging sectors such as prediction markets, payment systems, and real-world assets (RWA) are rising, attracting significant capital. By 2025, financing performance in fields like payments and RWA is expected to be impressive, while DeFi remains steady but relatively cautious. Investment trends indicate that consumer-end products and genuine application scenarios are gaining more attention.

Canton Network is emerging as the leading infrastructure for the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), with approximately $388 billion in assets on-chain, far surpassing competitors. This growth is driven by institutional capital and confirmed by a partnership with DTCC to tokenize U.S. Treasury bonds, signaling a significant shift to blockchain in financial systems.

Introduction: Starting from Capital, Not Stories This article marks the beginning of a new series of research on global asset allocation and rotation. After a deep dive into this topic, we discovered one of the most surprising yet most important facts: it is not the emergence of new narratives that ultimately drives the crypto bull market. Whether it’s RWA, X402, or any other concept, these themes are usually just triggers rather than true drivers. They may attract attention, but they do not provide the energy themselves. The real power comes from capital. When liquidity is abundant, even weak arguments can be amplified into market consensus. Conversely, when liquidity dries up, even the strongest arguments struggle to maintain their momentum. The first part focuses on building the foundation: how to construct a global asset allocation and rotation framework that places cryptocurrencies within the appropriate macro context. The latter half of the framework will be elaborated in subsequent articles. Step 1: Step out of the cryptocurrency space and draw

Real-world assets unexpectedly stole the show in crypto this year, posting gains that left most other sectors scrambling to keep up.

Asia's crypto regulatory story in 2025 shifted from conceptual frameworks to practical implementation, with stablecoins and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization emerging as the region's primary focus areas.

1. Behind the New High in Gold Prices, Asset Forms Are Changing On December 22, 2025, the domestic gold price once again broke through 1,000 yuan/gram, setting a new high for the year. In traditional financial markets, gold price increases are usually interpreted as a rise in risk aversion; but in the digital asset world, changes in gold go beyond just price levels. CoinFound (a data technology company specializing in TradFi × Crypto) recently released the "Gold RWA Trend Insights" report, which systematically reviews the market size, ecological landscape, and application scenarios of gold RWA in 2025. Data shows that the market capitalization of gold RWA grew from less than $1 billion at the beginning of the year to over $3 billion in 2025, nearly tripling. In Starbase's view, this growth is not simply a reflection of rising gold prices, but rather a transformation in the asset form of gold.

Highlights of this Issue The weekly coverage period for this issue spans from December 19, 2025, to December 26, 2025. This week, the total on-chain RWA market capitalization steadily increased to $19.04 billion, with the number of holders surpassing 590,000, indicating sustained growth momentum; meanwhile, the total market cap of stablecoins, after approaching $300 billion, has nearly stagnated, further highlighting the contraction in active user base expansion and on-chain activity. Global regulatory frameworks continue to advance: the United States is considering providing a tax safe harbor for stablecoins, Japan plans to promote the on-chain issuance of local government bonds, and countries like China, South Korea, and Ghana are accelerating their deployment in digital currencies and stablecoins. Domestic institutions' overseas branches are gradually exploring applications such as digital renminbi and stablecoin top-ups and payments: ICBC's Singapore branch is piloting digital renminbi overseas wallet top-ups, and Ctrip's overseas version has integrated stablecoin payments, demonstrating accelerated adoption of stablecoins in cross-border settlement and travel consumption scenarios. Meanwhile, Ethereum DAT company E

LunarCrush reveals the Top 10 Real-World Asset projects by social activity, led by Chainlink ($LINK), which boasts the highest engagement. Notable competitors include Avalanche, Hedera, and VeChain, highlighting the competitive landscape in crypto interactions.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced on December 17th that it plans to utilize the Canton Network blockchain to tokenize some U.S. Treasuries held by its subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company. This landmark event is interpreted by the market as a substantial embrace by traditional financial infrastructure giants of blockchain asset tokenization, directly driving the native Canton Network token Canton Coin (CC) to surge approximately 27% in the past week against the market trend. Meanwhile, the total value of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) has more than doubled over the past year, currently approaching $19 billion, with U.S. Treasury products accounting for nearly half of the market share. This collaboration not only provides strong institutional credibility to the Canton Network but also could serve as a key catalyst in accelerating the wave of traditional assets worth trillions of dollars onto the blockchain.

If there was one area of crypto that quietly made real progress in 2025, it was real-world assets. While much of the market spent the year chopping around, RWA projects were busy building things that actually

The asset nature emphasized by regulation is real economic activity. In mainstream standards, the vast majority of functional RWA tokens are regarded as securities. This article is written by Professor Shao Jiadian from Mankun Blockchain and reorganized by PANews. (Previous context: RWA explosion: opportunity or scam?) (Additional background: Lawyers warn that China’s RWA industry has only two paths: go overseas or completely give up) Table of Contents Introduction You think you're doing "RWA functional," but what are you doing in the eyes of regulation? Real Case 1: Real Case 2: Why is the "functional" aspect particularly untenable in the RWA field? A harsh reality you must face: A brutally honest summary So, does RWA "only" have to be securities? End

Many RWA projects claim to be "functional tokens," but regulators do not agree. The article illustrates through real cases that "functional RWA tokens" are often classified as securities because their structure meets the elements of securities law. In the future, RWA token regulation will become increasingly strict. If they raise funds from the public and have profit expectations, they will almost certainly be subject to securities regulation. Standardized operations are key to the project's survival.

Written by: Deng Tong, Golden Finance In 2025, cryptocurrency industry regulation will become clearer, traditional finance will be deeply integrated, and technological iteration will accelerate. Every key milestone depends on core figures who either lead policy direction, guide institutions to enter the market, tackle technical challenges, or stir up the market. What actions will traditional giants like BlackRock, JPMorgan Chase, Visa, and Mastercard take in the crypto space in 2025? 1.
