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.

Australia Cracks Down on 14,000 Online Scams

Australia Cracks Down on 14,000 Online Scams

The post Australia Cracks Down on 14,000 Online Scams appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime Australia’s financial regulator is ramping up its campaign against online scams after dismantling more than 14,000 fraudulent websites since July 2023 — over 3,000 of which involved crypto. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) said the effort is being extended to target deceptive social media advertisements, which have been increasingly used to push fake investment platforms, phishing schemes, and fraudulent crypto projects. “Scammers are constantly evolving tactics, often adopting the latest technology to dupe victims,” ASIC Deputy Chair Sarah Court said. “We’re monitoring the latest trends and acting to protect Australians from those who try to steal from them.” Rising Crypto Risks Crypto-related scams now make up a larger share of online fraud. ASIC flagged common ploys including fake AI-powered trading bots, fraudulent websites impersonating legitimate firms, and AI-generated deepfake celebrity endorsements. Last year, the regulator warned that AI-driven scams were making it harder for ordinary investors to spot fraud. Despite global crypto scam losses topping $2.47 billion in the first half of 2025 — already higher than all of 2024 — investment scams in Australia appear to be trending downward. The country reported $73 million in losses so far this year, compared with $192 million in 2024 and $291 million in 2023. Crypto ATMs Under Scrutiny Authorities have also zeroed in on crypto ATMs, which they suspect are being misused in online scam networks. Earlier this year, AUSTRAC and the Australian Federal Police led a nationwide operation targeting ATMs linked to pig butchering scams and other fraud. Australia is home to the third-largest number of crypto ATMs worldwide, now nearly 2,000. New operating rules and transaction limits were rolled out in June to curb misuse. Between January 2024 and January 2025, more than 150 scam cases involving crypto ATMs were reported, with losses exceeding $2 million. A…

The post Ripple to Launch RLUSD Stablecoin in Japan Through Partnership With SBI Holdings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key highlights: Ripple and SBI Holdings plan to launch the RLUSD stablecoin in Japan by Q1 2026, with SBI VC Trade acting as the distributor. RLUSD, backed 1:1 by U.S. dollar reserves, is designed to meet regulatory standards and institutional compliance. The move reflects Japan’s evolving stablecoin regulations and SBI’s expanding role in the digital asset space. Ripple has announced plans to introduce its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, to the Japanese market in partnership with SBI Holdings. The stablecoin is expected to go live in Japan as early as the first quarter of 2026, pending regulatory processes. Ripple and SBI expand longstanding partnership The rollout will be conducted through SBI VC Trade, the cryptocurrency arm of SBI Holdings, which recently became Japan’s first licensed Electronic Payment Instruments Exchange Service Provider.

Ripple, SBI Plan RLUSD Stablecoin Distribution in Japan by 2026

Ripple, SBI Plan RLUSD Stablecoin Distribution in Japan by 2026

The post Ripple, SBI Plan RLUSD Stablecoin Distribution in Japan by 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple and SBI Holdings plan to roll out Ripple USD (RLUSD) in Japan, aiming to tap into the country’s emerging stablecoin market under new regulatory frameworks. The two companies announced on Friday that they had signed a memorandum of understanding, in which SBI VC Trade’s role is that of distributor. SBI VC Trade, a licensed Electronic Payment Instruments Exchange Service Provider, aims to make RLUSD to go live in Japan during the first quarter of 2026. RLUSD is Ripple’s first stablecoin initiative, launched in December 2024. The token is fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, short-term Treasuries and cash equivalents, with monthly attestations from a third-party firm. Ripple says this structure offers regulatory clarity and institutional-grade compliance — traits it argues will differentiate RLUSD from peers. SBI executives framed the partnership as a step in strengthening Japan’s digital finance infrastructure. “The introduction of RLUSD will not just expand the option of stablecoins in the Japanese market, but is a major step forward in the reliability and convenience of stablecoins,” said SBI VC Trade CEO Tomohiko Kondo. Ripple executives echoed the compliance focus. “RLUSD is designed to be a true industry standard, providing a reliable and efficient bridge between traditional and decentralized finance,” said Jack McDonald, Ripple’s senior vice president of stablecoins. The rollout also highlights the deepening ties between Ripple and SBI, longtime partners in Asia’s blockchain ecosystem. It also comes as Japan approved the first yen-denominated stablecoin for issuance in the country earlier this week.

Bitcoin Price Rips Higher As Fed Signals Dovish Shift

Bitcoin Price Rips Higher As Fed Signals Dovish Shift

The post Bitcoin Price Rips Higher As Fed Signals Dovish Shift appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin surged 5% (about $5,000) following Jerome Powell’s remarks at the Federal Reserve’s annual Jackson Hole symposium, igniting fresh momentum in a bull market that has been quietly grinding higher since early 2024. For much of this cycle, bitcoin’s rise has come against a headwind of monetary tightening. The story of this bull run began when BlackRock filed its spot Bitcoin ETF application in June 2023, which marked the institutional green light for Bitcoin adoption. Since then, despite persistent inflation concerns, rate hikes and constant talk of “higher for longer,” Bitcoin has continued to march higher, shaking off the macro drag. Today could mark a turning point. Powell’s speech hinted at what markets have been waiting for: the Fed preparing to pivot. After nearly two years of restrictive policy aimed at cooling inflation, the Fed Chair acknowledged that conditions have shifted. Inflation has cooled from its peak, economic growth is slowing, and the burden of tighter monetary policy is showing cracks in the system (see recent employment numbers).  For the first time in this cycle, Powell’s tone suggested the Fed is ready to ease its grip. The market reaction was immediate. Bitcoin ripped higher (~$117,000 as of this writing), as traders recognized what this means: the “monetary headwinds” narrative could be giving way to the tailwinds of easier liquidity. Risk assets thrive when central banks blink, and bitcoin, the hardest money in existence, tends to be the fastest horse when the Fed caves to its own new reality. This is more than just a short-term rally. It could be the inflection point that turns a steady, resilient bull market into a raging one. The Fed’s posture has been the one remaining damper on bitcoin’s upside. If Powell and the FOMC are now signaling a shift toward accommodation, bitcoin stands to…

Canada drops many of its retaliatory tariffs on the U.S.

Canada drops many of its retaliatory tariffs on the U.S.

The post Canada drops many of its retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney speaks at a press conference about recognizing Palestinian statehood, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, July 30, 2025. Patrick Doyle | Reuters Canada removed many of its retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. on Friday, marking a significant step forward in the two countries’ relationship. Canada in March imposed counter-tariffs of 25% on a long list of U.S. products that fall in line with the North American trade deal after the U.S. had announced 25% duties on steel and aluminum. Notably, Canada’s 25% tariffs on U.S. autos, steel and aluminum will remain in place for now, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a press conference Friday. The change will go into effect on Sept. 1, Carney added, saying he believes Canada has the best trade deal out of all of the countries working with the U.S. “As we work intensively with the United States, our focus is squarely on the strategic sectors,” Carney said. A White House official told NBC News that Canada’s move was “long overdue.” “We look forward to continuing our discussions with Canada on the Administration’s trade and national security concerns,” the official said. Friday’s announcement follows a phone call between Carney and President Donald Trump, the first known call between the two since failed talks before the Aug. 1 tariff deadline. A readout of the Thursday call from Carney’s office called the conversation “productive and wide-ranging,” with both leaders agreeing to reconvene soon. Carney said Friday that Trump assured him that dropping retaliatory tariffs will kickstart negotiations between the two countries. The move comes as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which Trump negotiated during his first term, is scheduled to undergo a review later this year. Canada was swift to impose its counter-tariffs on the U.S. on CA$30 billion (US$21.7 billion) worth of U.S. goods…

China Renaissance to Allocate $100M in BNB, Signs Deal with YZi Labs

China Renaissance to Allocate $100M in BNB, Signs Deal with YZi Labs

China Renaissance Holdings Limited has partnered with YZi Labs to deepen its footprint in the crypto asset space, particularly within the BNB Chain ecosystem.  In a voluntary disclosure today, the company revealed the signing of a non-binding Strategic Cooperation Memorandum. $100 Million in BNB Allocation As part of the agreement, China Renaissance will allocate approximately $100 million to BNB. This makes it the first Hong Kong-listed company to include BNB in its crypto asset portfolio.  The move seeks to generate competitive yields from the BNB ecosystem while also securing long-term involvement in high-quality projects within the BNB Chain. The partnership will also focus on promoting Web3 initiatives and the compliant listing of BNB on licensed Hong Kong crypto asset exchanges. In collaboration with China Asset Management (Hong Kong) and other ecosystem players, China Renaissance plans to develop fund-based investment products and further the adoption of BNB through compliant financial channels. RWA Fund to Integrate BNB in Real-World Use Cases Under the guidance and cooperation of YZi Labs, China Renaissance intends to launch a multi-hundred-million-dollar Real-World Asset (RWA) fund. The fund aims to accelerate the integration of BNB public chain technology in stablecoin and RWA applications, particularly among Hong Kong-listed companies. YZi Labs will serve as a strategic advisor in the cooperation, supporting China Renaissance with: Ecosystem project referrals and third-party connections (custodians, validators, infrastructure providers) Branding and promotional support via official channels Collaborative Web3 and capital markets initiatives Together, the parties plan to identify and execute new growth opportunities that benefit China Renaissance’s financial services capabilities and the BNB Chain ecosystem. BNB Breaks New ATH Amid Institutional Frenzy Notably, BNB is the native token of BNB Chain, one of the most actively used blockchains globally. It helps in powering transactions, securing the network through governance, and supporting applications in DeFi and beyond. Market-wise, BNB surged to an all-time high of $881 on Thursday, continuing a strong uptrend with a 35% gain over the past 60 days. A wave of institutional interest has fueled the rally. In July, companies like Windtree Therapeutics and Nano Labs collectively invested $610 million into BNB. However, not all corporate crypto bets have fared well. Windtree’s stock, which initially soared on the announcement, has since plunged nearly 90%, putting it at risk of delisting from the Nasdaq. While the memorandum between China Renaissance and YZi Labs is non-binding and subject to final agreements, the collaboration further confirms institutional confidence in BNB and its ecosystem.
