Traditional financial markets won’t survive without RWA tokenization

boss

Opinion by: Abdul Rafay Gadit, co-founder of ZIGChain America’s tariff regime has apparently fueled a global trade war, forcing investors to explore stable, yield-generating alternatives. A closer look reveals that illiquidity, opacity and scalability challenges have plagued global financial markets for long. They weren’t in great shape anyway, trade war or no trade war. Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) have risen to this occasion — thankfully. For one, they ensure predictable yields, providing a haven for investors amid uncertain market conditions and unproductive volatility.  Above all, though, RWAs are a lifeboat…

boss

All of a sudden, it seems that everybody in the Ethereum ecosystem is talking about native rollups, with Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake saying that everyone he’s spoken to about the proposal has been immediately supportive. Optimism, Base, and half a dozen other L2s have expressed a desire to incorporate the tech into their platforms — and some also want to also become “based rollups” for good measure.  But with Drake’s January post on EthResearch aimed at a technical audience and most other explainers using the arcane terminology of blockchain…

boss

Popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple have formed different risky patterns ahead of the closely-watched triple-witching event.  Bitcoin (BTC) price has slipped to $83,580 from the weekly high of $87,158, while Ethereum (ETH) has dropped below $2,000.

SEC dropping XRP case was ‘priced in’ since Trump’s election: Analysts

boss

Crypto investors rejoiced after one of the industry’s longest-standing legal battles was overturned by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, yet markets have seemingly accounted for the victory months ahead of the announcement, according to industry watchers. On March 19, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that the SEC would dismiss its legal action against Ripple, ending four years of litigation against the blockchain developer for an alleged $1.3-billion unregistered securities offering in 2020. However, the outcome may not be as “bullish” since markets may have already priced in this…
