Odaily, Reality, the compliant RWA issuance platform under Bitget, has announced a partnership with Alpaca, a US-registered broker and self-clearing firm. Under the terms of the collaboration, Alpaca will provide Reality with broker infrastructure support, assisting it in integrating tokenized US stocks and ETF products within a regulated market framework, covering key areas such as clearing, custody, and trade execution.Founded in 2015, Alpaca is a developer-first broker infrastructure company. Its subsidiary, Alpaca Clearing, is a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and SIPC member, specializing in the custody and clearing of underlying assets. Through this partnership, Reality will further enhance its underlying infrastructure capabilities for tokenized US stocks and ETF products, offering eligible global users a more regulated and transparent access method.Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, stated that Reality is a key component of Bitget's UEX panoramic exchange strategy, with the goal of bridging traditional financial assets and on-chain infrastructure in a more practical manner. Yoshi Yokokawa, co-founder and CEO of Alpaca, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership with Reality, noting it will jointly advance the development of tokenized stock infrastructure and further enhance the accessibility of global financial services.
According to CoinDesk, Citigroup released the report “Tokenization 2030: Wall Street On-Chain,” forecasting that the global market size for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) will grow from $17 billion today to $5.5 trillion by 2030 (reaching $8.2 trillion under an optimistic scenario). The report notes that the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to launch a pilot program for tokenized securities trading in July this year; Nasdaq is advancing its blockchain-based framework for stock issuance; and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), is also making related moves. The entry of these three traditional market infrastructures marks an industry inflection point.
According to official announcements, Bondify—the RWA liquidity protocol under the CIAN ecosystem—has officially launched (Bondify.xyz). Bondify is positioned as structured-product infrastructure for RWAs and yield-generating on-chain assets, aiming to transform inherently illiquid and hard-to-trade leveraged loop positions into portable, priceable, and tradable on-chain yield and position instruments. At launch, Bondify will initially support the native loop-position migration of Saturn sUSDat/AUSD on Morpho. For users who have already established loop positions on Morpho, migrating to Bondify enables them to sell future yield or points exposure from their positions ahead of time via Yield Tokens (YTs), thereby locking in part of their value upfront while retaining their original risk exposure. For users bullish on Saturn/STRC points or yield expectations but unwilling to set up full loop positions themselves, purchasing YTs allows them to gain yield/points exposure over a defined period with minimal capital outlay. Additionally, Bondify provides standardized loop-position representation and secondary-market trading capabilities, offering existing loopers more flexible options for position transfer and exit.
: According to official announcements, leading global digital asset platform Gate has officially launched a real stock market trading service, bridging the gap between crypto assets and traditional financial markets. Users can now directly trade stocks and ETFs listed on major exchanges like Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) using USDT on the Gate platform. Unlike common market practices of stock tokenization and RWA (Real World Asset) mapping, Gate Stocks focuses more on real market access and compliant trading capabilities. It connects with compliant broker-dealers holding US Broker-Dealer licenses and clearing qualifications, providing access to major US stock and ETF trading markets.Currently, Gate supports major US securities trading markets and liquidity networks including NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, NYSE American, and BATS, covering over 10,000 stock and ETF assets. After completing KYC and regional access requirements, users can navigate to the stock section within the TradFi module of the Gate App to perform USDT transfers, view market data, and trade stocks, achieving integration between crypto asset accounts and traditional stock trading capabilities. Additionally, Gate Stocks operates an independent account system, allowing users to buy, hold, and sell stock assets with separate fund management. Compared to holding costs such as funding rates in perpetual contracts and swap fees or overnight fees in CFD products, Gate Stock spot trading offers zero holding costs, making it more suitable for users looking to hold US stocks for the long term. Android users can experience stock trading functionality after updating the Gate App to the latest version, while iOS users can access the service after updating to version 8.21.5.
according to Gate's official page, the total minting volume of GUSD on the Gate platform has surpassed 171 million, with the current GUSD minting annualized yield at 3.0%. Meanwhile, the Gate Launchpool CTR project is ongoing, where the GUSD pool annualized yield is currently 9.68%, the BTC pool annualized yield is 3.41%, and the CTR pool annualized yield is 164.97%. While participating in the Launchpool GUSD pool, users can also stack GUSD minting rewards, resulting in a current combined reference annualized yield of 12.68%. This creates a dual earning model of "minting rewards + pool rewards," enhancing capital efficiency while further increasing the flexibility of asset returns.GUSD is a high-quality yield-bearing asset backed by Gate ecosystem revenue, Treasury RWA, and stablecoins. The product supports trading and collateralization, with users receiving daily rewards, aiming to provide users with relatively stable returns.
TownSquare, an infrastructure provider for institutional yields and cross-chain lending brokerage services, has partnered with Native, a non-custodial automated trading infrastructure, to launch a $10 million yield-generating vault on the Monad L1. This vault will support assets including USD1, USDC, cbBTC, and MON, offering higher yields than conventional lending through trading-based yield generation. This marks TownSquare’s first collaboration with a trading-based yield manager. The partnership aims to bring real-world asset (RWA) and stablecoin institutional yields to a broader user base. Native is a close partner of Binance Wallet and Buidlpad, having previously launched vaults for BNB and wETH on BNB Chain and Ethereum—demonstrating its stability, scalability, and ability to generate yields for liquidity providers (LPs) managing tens of millions of dollars. This initiative also represents the first trading-yield vault on the Monad chain. Native already operates credit pools across multiple EVM chains with over $35 million in liquidity, achieving daily trading volumes of $50–100 million and cumulative trading volume exceeding $25 billion. Its Proactive Market Making (PMM) structure enables retail users to access institutional-grade trading yields. TownSquare previously launched a $100 million USD1 liquidity program and has raised over $16 million to date—including funding from this collaboration.
: VanEck's tokenized U.S. Treasury fund, VBILL, has officially launched on the DeFi lending protocol Euler. The fund is issued and tokenized by Securitize. Investors can now use tokenized Treasury bonds as collateral for on-chain lending and liquidity operations, while meeting compliance restrictions.This move reflects that DeFi protocols are accelerating their transition towards institutionalization and compliance to attract traditional financial capital into the on-chain market. Data shows that the market size of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds has surpassed $15 billion, growing approximately 150% over the past year. Traditional asset management giants such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Janus Henderson have all launched on-chain treasury or money market products.Euler has previously integrated Securitize's DS Protocol to support the inclusion of tokenized securities with investor qualification restrictions and transfer rules into its lending market. DeFi protocols like Aave are also expanding into institutional-grade RWA businesses.Institutions estimate that the market size for asset tokenization could reach $18.9 trillion by 2033. A Securitize executive stated that as traditional financial institutions enter the crypto space, DeFi protocols must find a balance between openness and compliance requirements. (CoinDesk)
Odaily reports: Bitget has announced the launch of Reality, a licensed financial protocol focused on the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA). The issued tokenized stocks (rTokens) are strictly pegged 1:1 to the underlying US stocks, with assets custodied at a US securities broker-dealer that is FINRA-registered and SIPC-protected. Real-time proof of reserves is provided through third-party independent audits. By directly accessing liquidity pools from Nasdaq, NYSE, and other US stock exchanges, Reality's stock tokens can achieve liquidity on par with traditional brokerages. Meanwhile, stock dividends will be distributed 1:1 to user accounts in token form, cash dividends will be automatically converted into USDT for distribution, and stock splits and reverse splits will be mapped to on-chain tokens in real-time, offering an experience highly consistent with holding US stocks.Furthermore, the US stock tokens launched by Reality are deeply integrated with the Bitget ecosystem. They can be used, for example, as margin for unified accounts and are compatible with core product lines such as grid trading, copy trading systems, and staking/lending.Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, previously proposed the "10% Vision": Currently, tokenized stocks represent only 0.1% of the $125 trillion global stock market. She predicts this proportion will rise to nearly 10% by 2030. Reality is built on this trend. In its initial phase, it will focus on US stocks, and will later expand asset classes, driving the extension of Bitget's UEX strategy into a broader access layer for global financial assets.
OKX Ventures cited Token Terminal data on X platform, stating that Ethereum's monthly transaction volume has surpassed 70 million, reaching a new all-time high. Meanwhile, the network's median transaction fee has dropped to approximately $0.00554, also setting a new record low. This indicates that Ethereum is gradually achieving a network state characterized by “high efficiency and low cost.”In light of this, OKX Ventures believes that Layer 2 solutions and modular architectures are continuously reducing on-chain interaction costs, and the historically high gas fee issue is seeing significant improvement. As transaction costs fall to sufficiently low levels, applications such as stablecoins, blockchain games, social platforms, AI agents, and RWA (Real World Assets) will find it easier to attract real users. Public chain competition is entering the “experience era,” where future competition will no longer be based solely on TPS, but rather on whether the network can provide better security, liquidity, and user experience. Ethereum retains a strong advantage in terms of developer and ecosystem strength. As costs decline, on-chain payments, asset issuance, and cross-border settlement activities are expected to continue growing, and blockchain infrastructure is gradually becoming part of the mainstream digital economy. OKX Ventures will continue to focus on infrastructure upgrades and long-term application value within the Ethereum ecosystem. What truly matters is not just market price fluctuations, but the sustained growth in real on-chain usage.
MoonPay has announced the launch of a new platform, MoonPay Trade, designed for banks, fintech companies, and enterprise clients. It provides unified access to tokenized assets, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and stablecoin liquidity across over 200 blockchain networks.The platform is powered by Decent.xyz, a cross-chain routing infrastructure company recently acquired by MoonPay for a reported "high eight-figure USD amount." MoonPay stated that this product will serve as the core execution layer for its institutional business, MoonPay Institutional, which is led by former Acting Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Caroline Pham.MoonPay Trade will support subscriptions for tokenized funds, collateral transfers, and integrations with DeFi protocols such as Aave, Morpho, and Maple Finance, enabling institutions to conduct lending and yield generation operations directly on-chain.Industry data shows that the current scale of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) has exceeded $33 billion, growing threefold within a year. Traditional financial institutions, including BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and JPMorgan, have successively launched tokenized fund products, accelerating the influx of institutional capital into on-chain finance.MoonPay stated that as institutions continue to advance their tokenized asset strategies, its goal is to provide traditional financial institutions with the infrastructure capabilities for compliant access to on-chain markets through a unified interface.

Odaily reports, In a recent video interview with Cointelegraph, Gate Founder and CEO Dr. Han stated that the crypto industry is transitioning from a primarily speculation-driven market towards a phase focused on infrastructure development and real-world applications. Dr. Han pointed out that stablecoins, RWA, AI, and asset tokenization are becoming core directions for the industry, and that clearer regulatory frameworks (such as the CLARITY Act) are expected to further drive innovation in DeFi, payments, and on-chain finance.Dr. Han also mentioned that high user entry barriers, security risks, and liquidity fragmentation remain significant challenges facing the industry. In the future, the crypto industry will further integrate with traditional finance, playing a more important role in areas such as payments, settlement, and the circulation of digital assets.Gate continues to deepen its multi-asset and TradFi strategy. In addition to expanding into assets such as stocks, metals, forex, indices, and commodities, it has also launched Pre-IPOs with the first project, SpaceX (SPCX).

Odaily Odaily News Gate Research recently released its "April 2026 Cryptocurrency Market Review" report, indicating that the overall cryptocurrency market saw a volatile upward trend in April, with total market capitalization significantly higher than in March. BTC and ETH ETF trading volumes maintained high volatility overall. The report shows continued divergence in activity across major public chain ecosystems. Solana's daily transaction volume remained in the range of approximately 90 million to 110 million transactions, maintaining its leading position.Regarding trending sectors, the report notes that Pokemon TCG RWA has become one of the fastest-growing on-chain RWA sub-sectors, entering a second explosive growth phase in April. Major trading platforms saw monthly trading volumes exceed $220 million, with weekly revenue briefly approaching $6 million, setting new historical records. Meanwhile, Aave experienced its most severe liquidity crisis ever in April, with TVL outflows reaching tens of billions of dollars within a few days and net outflows exceeding $9 billion for the entire month.In terms of fundraising and security incidents, the Web3 industry completed 51 financing rounds in April, totaling approximately $834 million, with capital further concentrating on leading financial and infrastructure tracks. Among these, Payward ranked first for the month with a $200 million financing round. On the security front, Web3 security incidents in April resulted in losses of approximately $306 million, a month-over-month increase of about 858%, primarily driven by a single cross-chain infrastructure attack on Kelp DAO worth approximately $293 million. The report suggests that against the backdrop of a recovering market, on-chain activity and capital liquidity are both increasing simultaneously. However, the security risks associated with cross-chain infrastructure and high-leverage protocols remain worthy of continued attention.
