Growing Pressure on RWA Projects

As BeInCrypto reported, a growing trend of attacks targeting RWA projects has been recorded, resulting in around $14.6 million in damages in just the first half of 2025. Since these projects must bridge on-chain infrastructure with off-chain assets, they open up new vulnerabilities for hackers.

The RWA segment has been booming, with on-chain value reaching $32.32 billion, an 11.76% increase over the past 30 days. 

While RWA projects promote “security and transparency” to attract traditional investors, the complexity of integrating blockchain and real-world assets has, in fact, created more entry points for attackers.

If this trend continues, confidence in the RWA segment—considered one of the main growth drivers of the crypto market—could be shaken. Therefore, reinforcing independent security audits, multi-layer protections such as multisig and timelocks, and continuous on-chain monitoring will safeguard institutional investor trust against future cryptojacking September-style incidents.

UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT

The post UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has plans to waive some of its rules for cryptocurrency companies, according to a Financial Times (FT) report on Wednesday. However, in another areas the FCA intends to tighten the rules where they pertain to industry-specific risks, such as cyber attacks. The financial watchdog wishes to adapt its existing rules for financial service companies to the unique nature of cryptoassets, the FT reported, citing a consultation paper published Wednesday. “You have to recognize that some of these things are very different,” David Geale, the FCA’s executive director for payments and digital finance, said in an interview, according to the report, adding that a “lift and drop” of existing traditional finance rules would not be effective with crypto. One such area that may be handled differently is the stipulation that a firm “must conduct its business with integrity” and “pay due regard to the interest of its customers and treat them fairly.” Crypto companies would be given less strict requirements than banks or investment platforms on rules concerning senior managers, systems and controls, as cryptocurrency firms “do not typically pose the same level of systemic risk,” the FCA said. Firms would also not have to offer customers a cooling off period due to the voltatile nature of crypto prices, nor would technology be classed as an outsourcing arrangement requiring extra risk management. This is because blockchain technology is often permissionless, meaning anyone can participate without the input of an intermediary. Other areas of crypto regulation remain undecided. The FCA has plans to fully integrate cryptocurrency into its regulatory framework from 2026.
