RWA

RWA (Real World Assets) refers to the tokenization of tangible assets—such as real estate, private credit, and government bonds—on the blockchain. By bringing traditional financial instruments on-chain, RWA protocols like Ondo and Centrifuge provide DeFi users with stable, real-yield opportunities. In 2026, the RWA sector is a multi-trillion-dollar bridge between TradFi and DeFi, enabling fractional ownership and global liquidity for previously illiquid assets.

Nasdaq listed BTC treasury company AsiaStrategy now sells luxury watches in Bitcoin

Nasdaq listed BTC treasury company AsiaStrategy now sells luxury watches in Bitcoin

The post Nasdaq listed BTC treasury company AsiaStrategy now sells luxury watches in Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Top Win International changed its corporate name to AsiaStrategy on Aug. 22 in Hong Kong, kept its Nasdaq ticker SORA, and began accepting Bitcoin for watch sales, the company said. The move follows a months-long restructuring that brought Sora Ventures into Top Win’s public company structure in May, a path that avoided a separate listing by using an existing issuer to pursue a Bitcoin treasury and capital markets strategy. Days later, the company confirmed a ticker change to SORA and board changes led by Sora Ventures cofounder Jason Fang, formalizing the pivot while retaining the underlying watch trading and distribution business headquartered in Hong Kong. Since the merger, the company has used equity and governance to build exposure to the Bitcoin corporate ecosystem in Asia. In late May, it announced strategic stakes in Metaplanet and HK Asia Holdings, two regional bellwethers for listed company Bitcoin strategies, aligning its public market footprint with portfolio positions that track treasury adoption and market development. Earlier in the year, Sora-linked executives joined the board of HK Asia, adding operational alignment with a firm undergoing a Bitcoin-centric revamp, as covered in board changes at HK Asia Holdings and the subsequent corporate transition. Capital for the treasury track also expanded this month. Per a company update covered by CryptoSlate, Taiwan-based WiseLink led a 10 million dollar convertible note into SORA on Aug. 15, framed as part of a cross-border finance initiative that allocates proceeds toward Bitcoin acquisition and related operations. Terms disclosed included a three-year note structure, with proceeds earmarked for balance sheet deployment and strategic investments that complement the rebrand. The raise connects with Sora Ventures’ longer-term plan to propagate a listed company Bitcoin playbook across Asia, following earlier initiatives such as a 150 million dollar fund aimed at corporate treasury adoption. Accepting Bitcoin for watch sales…

Enhancing Data Security with cuPQC 0.4’s Advanced Hash Functions and Merkle Trees

Enhancing Data Security with cuPQC 0.4’s Advanced Hash Functions and Merkle Trees

The post Enhancing Data Security with cuPQC 0.4’s Advanced Hash Functions and Merkle Trees appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Timothy Morano Aug 22, 2025 06:25 NVIDIA’s cuPQC 0.4 introduces advanced cryptographic features like expanded hash functions and Merkle trees, bolstering data integrity and security for large datasets. NVIDIA has unveiled the latest version of its cuPQC SDK, version 0.4, which promises significant advancements in data security and integrity. This update introduces enhanced cryptographic techniques, including expanded hash functions and comprehensive support for Merkle trees, according to NVIDIA. Advanced Cryptographic Features cuPQC 0.4 is equipped with advanced device functions that enable rapid cryptographic computations by integrating multiple lightweight operations within a single kernel. This is further augmented by Link Time Optimization (LTO) and device-side APIs that significantly enhance performance. The latest release includes new cryptographic primitives, expanding hash function support to include SHA2, SHA3, SHAKE, and Poseidon2-BabyBear, and introducing Merkle tree calculations. Merkle Trees for Efficient Data Verification Merkle trees, known for their efficiency in managing data integrity and verification processes, are a major addition in cuPQC 0.4. Unlike traditional hash chains, Merkle trees operate with a time complexity of O(logN), optimizing storage and improving the performance of data verification. Each non-leaf node in a binary Merkle tree is the hash of its two child nodes, allowing for efficient proof generation and verification of data integrity. For instance, to verify a data block, the tree allows the construction of a proof sequence that can be used to confirm the existence of a specific data block, ensuring its integrity without exposing the entire dataset. Applications Across Cryptographic Domains The enhanced cryptographic capabilities of cuPQC 0.4 have broad applications across various domains. In data integrity verification, Merkle trees facilitate swift detection of data alterations by recalculating and comparing root hashes, making them ideal for performance-critical environments. Merkle trees also excel in membership proofs, which…

China Considers Yuan-Pegged Stablecoins to Boost Global Influence

China Considers Yuan-Pegged Stablecoins to Boost Global Influence

The post China Considers Yuan-Pegged Stablecoins to Boost Global Influence appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.   Key highlights: China may allow yuan-pegged stablecoins to boost its global currency influence. Conflux has already launched a CNH-backed stablecoin for cross-border payments. Policy shift challenges dollar dominance amid growing global stablecoin adoption. China is reportedly considering allowing stablecoins pegged to the yuan for the first time, signaling a major reversal in a country that previously banned cryptocurrency trading. The move is aimed at boosting the yuan’s influence globally and modernizing cross-border payments. 180-Degree policy shift in digital assets If approved, this plan would represent a radical shift in Beijing’s approach to digital assets. In 2021, China banned cryptocurrency trading and mining over concerns about financial system stability. Now, authorities are exploring ways to internationalize the yuan while maintaining strict regulatory oversight. The State Council, China’s cabinet, will consider and possibly approve a roadmap for expanding the yuan’s use globally later this month. The document will set targets for international use, outline responsibilities for regulators, and define risk prevention measures. First steps taken by Chinese blockchain projects Even as the strategy is being discussed, the Chinese blockchain platform Conflux has already launched a stablecoin backed by the offshore yuan (CNH).  This initiative targets cross-border payments, particularly under the One Belt, One Road program, which could transform payments between Asian, African, and European countries. China has long sought to elevate the yuan to a global reserve currency on par with the U.S. dollar or euro, but tight currency controls and trade surpluses have limited progress.  According to SWIFT, the yuan’s share of global payments fell to 2.89% in May, while the dollar holds 48.46%. RMB’s share as a global payment’s currency.

Currently, U.S. dollar-based…

Why Ondo Finance Could End Up Being The Crypto Wild Card In Q4 2025

Why Ondo Finance Could End Up Being The Crypto Wild Card In Q4 2025

The post Why Ondo Finance Could End Up Being The Crypto Wild Card In Q4 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ondo Finance has been making a splash in the crypto market this year, mostly thanks to high-profile deals with key industry players. It has emerged as one of the top projects in the real-world assets (RWAs) narrative. Ondo Finance was one of the few crypto projects that managed to push its way into the top 50 list on Coinmarketcap. Its market cap clocked $2.91 billion at the time of observation, making it the 37th biggest crypto by market cap. Interestingly, Ondo Finance has only been around since early 2024, and did not exist during the 2021 bull run. Even more impressive was that it was recently ranked as the top RWAs project by social activity. The rising social activity behind the project confirms that it has been receiving a lot of attention, which was not coincidental. Ondo Finance Secures Spotlight Through Strategic Partnerships While Ondo Finance has achieved significant growth organically, it its rapid rise in popularity was mostly through strategic alliances. The company has secured deals with some of the top financial institutions in both the traditional and WEB3 financial segments. In July the project confirmed its involvement in Alchemy Pay. A crypto on-ramp platform seeking to provide access to dollar yields through USDY stablecoin. It was also involved in the creation of tokenized U.S treasuries on Solana, which could be accessible through Mastercard, Visa, Apple Pay and bank transfers. Ondo Finance has also been collaborating with BlackRock for its BUIDL initiative, which also focused heavily on RWAs. The list of collaborations also extended to other traditional finance companies like Franklin Templeton, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase. The crypto project has also been busy securing strategic partnerships in the WEB3 segment. Some of the notable ones include Chainlink, Pantera Capital, and World Liberty Financial (WLFI), among others. Ondo Finance…

Meet Gunnar Wiedenfels, the finance chief about to lead WBD networks

The post Meet Gunnar Wiedenfels, the finance chief about to lead WBD networks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Warner Bros. Discovery Chief Financial Officer Gunnar Wiedenfels walks to a session at the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference on July 9, 2025 in Sun Valley, Idaho. Kevin Dietsch | Getty Images By day, Gunnar Wiedenfels is the chief financial officer of Warner Bros. Discovery and the CEO-elect of Discovery Global, one half of the soon-to-be-split company. In his off hours, Wiedenfels is a beekeeper. The media executive picked up apiculture with his children as a way to soften their fears about insects. He called it “an unforgettable experience” and a great life lesson. It’s also provided holiday gifts of honey for his colleagues. “Although it has been frustrating at times to just keep these hives surviving,” Wiedenfels told CNBC in an interview, “one of the greatest lessons with bees is you have to keep calm. Never try inspecting your hives when stressed or in a rush. It won’t end well. The same hive, when approached 15 minutes later in peace, may be the most welcome.” Wiedenfels said the same wisdom applies to his day job and his next step. In June, Warner Bros. Discovery announced its intention to split into two public companies, effectively reversing the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery three years ago. Wiedenfels will take the helm of Discovery Global, the company that will house WBD’s TV networks including CNN, HGTV and TNT. The streaming and studio assets of Warner Bros. Discovery, to be renamed Warner Bros., will be run by current CEO David Zaslav. Both companies will trade publicly by mid-2026, according to corporate filings. The separation puts Wiedenfels in the CEO seat for the first time to lead a company with one of the largest portfolios of cable networks in the U.S. His financial background and recent initiatives at WBD have earned Wiedenfels a…

Jerome Powell’s Upcoming Keynote at Jackson Hole: ‘Volatility Is Coming’

Jerome Powell’s Upcoming Keynote at Jackson Hole: ‘Volatility Is Coming’

The post Jerome Powell’s Upcoming Keynote at Jackson Hole: ‘Volatility Is Coming’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. All eyes are fixed on the quiet mountain town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this week, as the world’s most influential central bankers gather for their annual economic symposium. Jackson Hole is the most important central banking event of the year to talk policy, economic theory, and monetary strategy. More importantly, it has historically moved Bitcoin price. Its influence on the global economy lies in its unique role as a testing ground for policy announcements and forward guidance. When central bankers, especially the Fed Chair, hint at changing their inflation-fighting stance, the effects ripple throughout the wider markets, sparking volatility, narrative, and sentiment. Tomorrow, U.S. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will deliver his final keynote, setting the tone for interest rate strategy and financial market narratives. Powell’s remarks could trigger price movements to the upside or downside across the crypto markets, as digital assets are known to be highly sensitive to policy shifts. As Bitcoin and crypto commentator, Crypto Rover stated: “Volatility is coming.” Jackson Hole and Bitcoin Price At the last two Jackson Hole events, Powell’s speeches sparked aggressive Bitcoin price action. In 2023, after a year of intense rate hikes, Powell shook risk assets with his hawkish stance and a warning that higher interest rates would bring some pain to households and businesses. In 2024, in contrast, his words reflected a more measured approach, treading the line between persistent inflation and labor market resilience. As Crypto Rover pointed out: “2023: Hawkish → pump, then dump. 2024: Dovish → pump, then dump.” For Bitcoin and the broader crypto markets, Jackson Hole is a macro catalyst that can produce violent price swings. Crypto Rover noted: “During Jackson Hole 2024, a dovish Powell sent Bitcoin +5% in a day. This Friday, his speech could hint at September rate cuts. Fuel for another crypto…

Pump, Dump, and Pure Chaos

Pump, Dump, and Pure Chaos

The post Pump, Dump, and Pure Chaos appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Popular American rapper and singer Ye (Kanye West) has officially launched his YZY token with massive hype. Although the singer has hinted at the potential launch, the expectation was fading over months of waiting, but it finally happened this August. Notably, the hype pumped the token right after launch, but soon it came crashing down,  similar to many other celebrities’ cryptos. From Rumors to Launch: YZY Token is Now Live Before the launch, rumors began to circulate in the crypto space that Kanye West (Ye) would launch a crypto. More specifically, reports emerged on the launch of the YZY meme coin token, whose alleged structure led to skepticism; 70% supply allocated to Ye, 20% to investors, and 10% reserved for liquidity. Before Kanye could get to the launch, scammers created multiple fake YZY tokens on Pump.Fun where many ended in rug-pulls. Notably, just days before that, Ye himself called “coins prey on the fans with hype,” but he eventually launched on August 21. Kanye’s X account made the official announcement and unveiled ‘YZY Money,’ calling it the new blockchain-based company. It’s reported that the crypto coin is designed to support YePay and YZY cards, plus the ecosystem they are creating will challenge the TradFi, reduce transaction fees, and more. Source: X, Kanye West (Ye) However, unusual trading activity and insiders caused chaos in just 24 hours of launch. 24 Hours of YZY Token and the Chaos Around It CoinGape experts note that within 40 minutes of the YZY Money token launch, its market cap soared to $3 billion, a major milestone. However, it soon collapsed amid the investors’ profit-taking and insider activity. Within hours, it crashed 2/3rd of the initial price, putting hundreds of investors at a loss.
