Key Insights Plume is building a real-world asset (RWA)-focused blockchain and ecosystem for crypto-native users. The network focuses on access, usability, and integration to make tokenized assets functional from day one within DeFi environments. Most RWAs today fail to create real utility. Often, they are merely traditional assets tokenized on a blockchain, rather than being built with inherent crypto-native design. This fundamental difference leads to their illiquidity, gating, and siloed nature. Stablecoins offer a proven model for adoption. Stablecoins gained traction by solving crypto-native problems first, then expanded into broader use cases after establishing product-market fit. Institutional backing does not guarantee participation. RWA…

BNB Chain introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that allows artificial intelligence models to interact with the blockchain.

Malaysia’s Securities Commission (SC) has unveiled a proposed regulatory framework for tokenized capital market products, with a consultation running until June 16, 2025. The framework distinguishes “tokenized securities” from cryptocurrencies and utility tokens, while adopting a phased approach that initially focuses on “digital twin” tokens rather than natively digital blockchain assets often referred to as “digital securities”. The consultation paper outlines how tokenized capital market products – digital representations of traditional securities using distributed ledger technology – will be regulated under a technology neutral principle where “like product and like services will be regulated similarly regardless of the underlying technology.” As an aside, a…

The market for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) is estimated to reach $18.9 trillion by 2033. Industry experts believe that this forecast may even be conservative, as stablecoin adoption indicates a much larger market expansion. The rapid growth of tokenized RWAs is also boosting blockchain adoption metrics, as 60% of RWA tokenization value is being driven by Ethereum. Stellar Focuses on Billions in Tokenized RWAs But Ethereum isn’t the only Layer-1 (L1) blockchain contributing to the growth of tokenized RWAs. Denelle Dixon, executive director of Stellar Development Foundation, told Cryptonews that the Stellar network ranks second, right behind Ethereum, for the most tokenization use cases.…

A newly submitted SEC pilot proposal aims to tokenize US equities Have you ever wondered why stock trades take days to settle? Have you ever looked at the UX nightmare that is fractional ownership and thought, How in the world is this still the norm? And why is it exactly that your shares must live inside custodial black boxes? These design failures boil down to the fact that the US equity market is fundamentally outdated. It’s trapped inside legacy infrastructure, shackled by intermediaries and probably coded in COBOL. Efforts to modernize the system are usually surface-level. We might get faster messaging or marginally updated interfaces,…
