The post RWA: Real-World Asset Tokenization – Blockchain.News appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization is the process of bringing tangible and intangible assets—such as real estate, government bonds, gold, and private credit—onto the blockchain. By converting these assets into digital tokens, the industry aims to increase global liquidity, enable fractional ownership, and provide 24/7 settlement for markets that were previously slow and siloed. The Institutional “On-Chain” Wave By mid-2026, RWA tokenization has moved past the experimental phase and into the mainstream. Large financial institutions like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton have pioneered this shift with tokenized treasury funds (such as BlackRock’s BUIDL fund), which now hold billions of dollars in on-chain reserves. These products allow investors to hold a digital token that represents a share in a traditional fund, earning interest directly in their crypto wallets. Key Asset Classes in
The post Gold Price Forecast: XAU/USD slides to $4,700 ahead of US CPI data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Gold (XAU/USD) shows moderate losses on Tuesday, trading a few pips below the $4,700 level at the time of writing after failing to find acceptance above $4,770 earlier on the day. The precious metal remains within previous ranges, but the risk has shifted to the downside as concerns about the US-Iran ceasefire and investors’ cautiousness ahead of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) release are buoying the US Dollar (USD). US President Donald Trump warned earlier on Tuesday that the ceasefire is on “life support,” and CNN, citing some of his aides, has reported that the president would be seriously considering resuming combat operations. On the macroeconomic front, all eyes are on the US CPI release, due later on Tuesday. Consumer inflation is expected to have surged to a 3.7% annual rate in April, its highest level since September 2023, amid the energy shock from Iran’s war. I

The post Gold reverses gains as US CPI data takes center stage appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Gold (XAU/USD) reverses earlier gains on Tuesday as fading hopes for a near-term breakthrough in US-Iran negotiations and a modest rebound in the US Dollar (USD) weigh on the precious metal ahead of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release. At the time of writing, XAU/USD is trading around $4,694 after hitting a three-week high of $4,773 during the Asian session. US-Iran negotiations remain at an impasse over Iran’s nuclear program. US President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that the ceasefire is “on massive life support.” The remarks came after Trump rejected Iran’s latest response to the US-backed peace proposal, calling it “totally unacceptable.” Reports also suggest that the US President is considering a resumption of military operations, alongside a potential restart of “Project Freedom” in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament Speaker

The post Fed Rate Cut Odds Fall as Senate Advances Kevin Warsh, Will Bitcoin & Gold Crash Again? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Fed rate cut odds plunge as the US Senate advances President Trump’s nominee Kevin Warsh closer to confirmation as the next Fed Chair.

US Senate Confirms Kevin Warsh as Fed Governor, Fed Rate Cut Odds Dip The US Senate voted 49-44 to invoke cloture on Kevin Warsh’s nomination to serve as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

The post Ray Dalio Says Bitcoin Still Fails as a Safe-Haven Asset appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
He argued that Bitcoin’s transparent blockchain makes transactions traceable, which could limit its appeal as a reserve asset for governments and central banks. Dalio also pointed out that investors often sell Bitcoin during financial pressure, unlike gold, which has historically maintained its reputation as a store of value. Ray Dalio Warns Bitcoin Is Not Replacing Gold Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, recently argued that Bitcoin has not lived up to expectations as a safe-haven asset during periods of financial uncertainty. In a May 11 post, Dalio explained that while Bitcoin receives enormous global attention, it still falls short of gold when markets experience stress and volatility. According to Dalio, one of Bitcoin’s biggest weaknesses is its lack of privacy. He pointed out that transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain can be traced and monitored, which may reduce it
The post MiCA tokenization Europe: crypto treasury shift to CASP-ready appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Europe’s crypto market is moving into a tougher, more structured phase, and MiCA tokenization Europe is becoming the frame through which many companies now have to rethink their business. What once looked like a wide-open field for crypto treasury companies and payments platforms is starting to narrow as regulation tightens and investors focus more closely on who generates yield, who has compliance in place, and who can operate across borders. That shift is at the center of the case being made by Wojciech Kaszycki, chief strategy officer at BTCS SA and founder of Mobilum. His argument is straightforward: firms that merely hold digital assets may struggle to keep pace, while businesses that combine treasury exposure with operating infrastructure could move ahead. It is a notable claim at a time when public companies are increasingly holding digital assets on their balance sheets.
