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.

New Target CEO Michael Fiddelke faces challenges

New Target CEO Michael Fiddelke faces challenges

The post New Target CEO Michael Fiddelke faces challenges appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. People walk by a Target store in midtown Manhattan in New York City, March 21, 2025. Kylie Cooper | Reuters When Target’s new CEO Michael Fiddelke steps into the role in early February, he will inherit a company facing slumping sales, faltering customer loyalty and skeptical investors. Its fiscal second-quarter results posted Wednesday illustrated the big-box retailer’s key challenges. Sales fell again from the year-ago period. Customer traffic declined. And shoppers spent less on average during their trips to Target’s website and stores than a year ago. Fiddelke, announced Wednesday as Target CEO Brian Cornell’s successor, will soon lead the retailer’s comeback efforts and will have to show he can revitalize a company where he has spent about two decades. On an earnings call Wednesday, he acknowledged Target is falling short, but described his long run with the retailer as “an asset” and said he knows what Target can be at its best. “I know we’re not realizing our full potential right now, and so I’m stepping into the role with a clear and urgent commitment to build new momentum in the business and get back to profitable growth,” he said. Though Fiddelke is not yet in the role, he said Target isn’t waiting until his starting date in February to make changes. He pledged to move with urgency to get the company back to sales growth. And he laid out his top three priorities, saying he would focus on winning back Target’s reputation as a strong merchant, enhancing the customer experience at stores and using technology to improve its business. Target’s Chief Operating Officer Michael Fiddelke will take over as CEO from Brian Cornell. Courtesy of Target On Wednesday, Target said it had fresh evidence that its turnaround efforts are already bearing fruit. The company’s sales improved from the first quarter to the the second quarter, Fiddelke said, even though they were negative year over year. Sales trends…

America’s Bitcoin Miners Caught in $100M+ Trade War Disputes

America’s Bitcoin Miners Caught in $100M+ Trade War Disputes

The post America’s Bitcoin Miners Caught in $100M+ Trade War Disputes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin The US-led trade war is emerging as a major challenge for the Bitcoin mining industry, with disputes involving Customs and Border Protection (CBP) threatening to saddle American companies with massive liabilities. That’s the warning from The Miner Mag’s latest Bitcoin Mining Update, which outlined the risks facing firms caught in the crosshairs of escalating tariffs. According to the report, the White House’s recent tariff adjustments have left importers facing steep duties on mining rigs. Machines originating from China are now subject to a 57.6% tariff, while those sourced from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand face a 21.6% rate. The consequences are already hitting leading US-listed mining firms. CleanSpark disclosed it could face as much as $185 million in potential liabilities tied to a CBP dispute over equipment origins, while IREN is fighting a $100 million claim from the agency. At the same time, mining revenues remain under pressure. The network’s hash price has been stuck below $60 per petahash a second, with transaction fees dropping to less than 1% of block rewards. Despite these headwinds, IREN and MARA Holdings each managed to produce more than 700 BTC in July. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin, a mining venture backed by members of President Donald Trump’s family, has moved forward with a major acquisition, exercising an option to purchase more than 16,000 rigs from Bitmain. The deal, structured to sidestep tariff-related pricing, underscores how US miners are adapting to shifting trade rules. On the supply side, Chinese hardware giants are also adjusting. Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT have all announced US-based operations to ease tariff impacts. Canaan, in particular, has shifted its headquarters to Singapore and revealed new US investments, reflecting a broader effort to secure market access despite rising barriers. Analysts warn that if tariffs continue to climb, US demand for mining rigs could…

Banks are outdated, need to embrace digital assets: Federal Reserve Vice Chair

Banks are outdated, need to embrace digital assets: Federal Reserve Vice Chair

The post Banks are outdated, need to embrace digital assets: Federal Reserve Vice Chair appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michelle Bowman urged regulators to adopt a forward-looking approach to blockchain, tokenization, and AI.  The finance landscape is undergoing a seismic shift in 2025, with cryptocurrency adoption accelerating far beyond earlier expectations. Traditional banks, once staunch critics of digital assets, are now moving to integrate them into their operations. Michelle Bowman calls for change Reflecting this change, Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman has urged regulators to rethink their stance on emerging technologies. Bowman signaled the need for a proactive regulatory approach. Notably, allowing examiners limited exposure to digital assets could strengthen oversight by deepening their expertise. She said,  “Your industry has already experienced significant frictions with bank regulators applying unclear standards, conflicting guidance, and inconsistent regulatory interpretations.” Stressing on her point, Bowman added, “We need a clear, strategic regulatory framework that will facilitate the adoption of new technology, recognizing that in some cases, it may be inadequate and inappropriate to apply existing regulatory guidance to address emerging tech.” Bowman highlighted that regulators are laying the groundwork to integrate digital assets and blockchain into banking, aiming to boost inclusion and efficiency while removing barriers between banks and innovators. However, she warned that excessive caution could leave banks trailing behind as consumers turn to faster, cheaper alternatives. What did she suggest? To counter this, Bowman emphasized the Fed’s effort to drive a cultural shift that embraces openness and modernization, ensuring outdated rules no longer stall innovation. She highlighted tokenization as a key area of focus. Tokenized assets, according to her, are a transformative force that reshape ownership transfers, reduces operational costs, and opens new avenues for accessing capital markets. While acknowledging that rapid technological change inevitably introduces risks, Bowman insisted that regulators must balance caution with recognition of the opportunities. She underlined the…

Texas House Passes New Gerrymandered Map

Texas House Passes New Gerrymandered Map

The post Texas House Passes New Gerrymandered Map appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Texas House lawmakers approved a new gerrymandered map Wednesday that would likely give Republicans five additional congressional seats, at President Donald Trump’s urging, overcoming a protest by Democrats and teeing up a battle with Democratic-led states to even the scales ahead of next year’s midterms. American and Texas state flags flying on the dome of the Texas State Capitol building in Austin. getty Key Facts The Texas House voted along party lines in an 88-52 vote to approve a new map drawn by Republicans to flip five Democrat-held districts, sending the bill to the GOP-controlled state Senate, where a vote is scheduled for Thursday, then on to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign the legislation into law. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign the legislation into law once it clears the Senate. The vote was delayed for more than two weeks after dozens of Democratic state legislators left Texas to prevent the House from reaching a quorum, though they began to return earlier this week. Democrats who control the state legislature in California are expected to counter Texas Republicans by moving forward with a vote on a map that would add as many as five Democratic seats, but the map will have to be approved by voters in a special election to supersede the state’s independent redistricting commission. Tangent Texas Republican lawmakers forced Democrats who ended their protest and returned to the state to sign “permission slips” agreeing to police escorts in order to leave the House floor, which they said was a measure to prevent them from fleeing Texas again. Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier refused to sign the permission slip, however, and spent Monday night sleeping on the House floor. Several other Democrats joined her Tuesday night.

Why Bitcoin Dominance Signals the Next Altcoin Season in 2025

Why Bitcoin Dominance Signals the Next Altcoin Season in 2025

The post Why Bitcoin Dominance Signals the Next Altcoin Season in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Bitcoin dominance is shaping the 2025 crypto cycle. Discover how altcoin season could unfold and which tokens may lead the rotation. As 2025 moves forward, Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) is once again in the spotlight as traders look for signals of the next market phase. The metric, which tracks Bitcoin’s share of the total crypto market capitalization, acts as a compass for investor sentiment. When dominance rises, capital consolidates into Bitcoin as a safe anchor. When it falls, liquidity rotates toward altcoins, sparking powerful rallies across the market. Currently hovering in the 50% range, Bitcoin dominance is at what analysts call a “decision zone”. If Bitcoin stabilizes near $110,000 while dominance begins to ease, the setup could mirror conditions seen in 2017 and 2021, moments that preceded explosive altcoin seasons. This shift has investors preparing for rotation, and it’s in this anticipation that new projects are starting to attract attention alongside established names like Ethereum and Solana. Reading the market compass Looking back at past cycles provides perspective. In 2017, Bitcoin dominance dropped from over 70% to 35% in just months, coinciding with Ethereum’s surge and the rise of altcoins. The 2021 bull run followed a similar pattern, with dominance falling by more than 30 percentage points as capital poured into meme coins and smart contract platforms. Analysts believe 2025 is shaping up in much the same way: Bitcoin leads first, then the rest of the market follows in waves. That familiar sequence, Bitcoin highs, followed by liquidity rotation into altcoins, remains one of the most reliable indicators of an approaching altcoin season. This time, however, the cycle carries an added layer of investor interest, particularly in early-stage projects not yet listed on major exchanges. It’s within this broader context that MAGACOIN FINANCE has started to capture attention. With…

Where Does ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Take Place In Rebooted DC Universe?

Where Does ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Take Place In Rebooted DC Universe?

The post Where Does ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Take Place In Rebooted DC Universe? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. John Cena as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker on season two of “Peacemaker.” HBO Max The rebooted DC Universe (DCU) is shaping up, and season two of Peacemaker is the latest project to fit into the timeline. Three years after the debut of the Peacemaker TV series, John Cena is back as the titular antihero for season two, which premieres on HBO Max on Thursday. But plenty of things have shifted in the DC Universe since season one. After several critical failures (see: Black Adam, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom), the DC Universe is in the early stages of a much-needed retooling, helmed by DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. Season two of Peacemaker, which hits streaming a month after Gunn’s Superman reboot was released in theaters, falls squarely into the first chapter of the new DCU, called Gods and Monsters. All this new world-building might be difficult to keep track of, so in case you’re curious about how season two of Peacemaker fits into the DCU, we’ve got you covered. John Cena and Danielle Brooks on season two of “Peacemaker.” Curtis Bonds Baker/HBO Max The rebooted DC Universe kicked off with the animated series Creature Commandos, released in 2024 and created by Gunn. But Superman, written and directed by Gunn and starring David Corenswet as the superhero, marks the first movie in the retooled DCU and is considered the real start of the revamped franchise. That film is set after the events of Creature Commandos and before season two of Peacemaker. Superman also features a cameo from Peacemaker, who’s seen criticizing the Man of Steel during an appearance on a talk show. Cena’s cameo not only serves as a precursor for season two of Peacemaker but functions as a connective tissue in the new DCU. During the Peacemaker panel at…
