The post The 5 Types of RWAs Being Tokenized Fastest appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Standard Chartered head of digital assets research Geoff Kendrick predicted in a recent research note that assets in DeFi could reach $2.7 trillion by 2030. He said that, currently, only 3% of stablecoins and 10% of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are used in DeFi. However, he predicts this will rise to 30% by 2030. That would be a 37-fold increase from where they are now, but the growing tempo of tokenization gives Kendrick reason for an optimistic outlook. The market for tokenized real-world assets — which includes stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, and carbon credits — hit $32.22 billion in distributed on-chain value by the end of June. That’s almost three times the roughly $11.8 billion RWA market from a year earlier. Add stablecoins, which are just tokenized real world fiat, into the mix, and the broader tokenized market sits north of $328.8 billion. Total RWA asset holders have grown to 9

One of crypto’s most powerful venture firms is making a bold bet that the next frontier isn’t just blockchain. Paradigm’s new $1.2 billion AI and robotics venture fund marks a significant strategic shift for the firm — not an abandonment of digital assets, but an expansion into territory that its leadership believes is simply too compelling to pass up. Key takeaways Paradigm has raised a $1.2 billion fund focused on artificial intelligence and robotics startups, its third venture fund overall. The firm has already invested in Zipline International (valued at $7.6 billion in January 2026) and True Anomaly (valued at $2.2 billion in April 2026). Leadership confirmed Paradigm remains committed to crypto investing, calling it an ongoing “exciting frontier.” Co-founder Matt Huang has argued AI and crypto are complementary, not competing, technologies. Paradigm previously raised a $2.5

Paradigm has raised $1.2 billion for a new venture fund focused on artificial intelligence and robotics, according to a blog post Wednesday. The firm’s third venture fund reflects growing interest in AI and defense technology, though it does not signal an exit from digital assets. “Crypto was the first frontier for us, and it continues to be a really exciting one, but there’s so much else happening right now that’s pretty hard to ignore,” managing partner Alana Palmedo told Bloomberg. Paradigm has already deployed capital from the new fund into several companies, including autonomous drone delivery company Zipline International, which was valued at $7.6 billion in January, and space defense startup True Anomaly, which reached a $2.2 billion valuation in April.

Crypto News Paradigm, one of the crypto industry’s largest venture investors, has raised $1.2 billion for a new fund dedicated to artificial intelligence and robotics — its most explicit push yet beyond digital assets. The vehicle, the firm’s third venture fund, closed on Wednesday and signals a broadening strategy rather than a retreat from crypto. Managing partner Alana Palmedo described digital assets as the firm’s first frontier and still a compelling market, while acknowledging that developments elsewhere in technology had become too significant to ignore. The raise lands as Bitcoin trades near $62,000, down sharply on the year, underscoring how capital is rotating toward AI across the broader altcoin market. Founded in 2018 by Matt Huang, a former Sequoia Capital partner, and Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam, Paradigm built its reputation backing protocol-level crypto proje
The post United Kingdom: Early election scenarios – Standard Chartered appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Standard Chartered analysis by Christopher Graham and Saabir Salad discusses Andy Burnham’s stance against an early UK general election if he becomes prime minister. They note Labour’s weaker polling versus its 2024 result and outlines three conditional scenarios that could still trigger an early vote, focusing on polling improvements, policy divergence from the 2024 manifesto, and mounting political legitimacy pressures. Burnham stance and election risk paths “Andy Burnham has ruled out holding an early general election should he become prime minister, meaning the next election is not held until near the latest possible date in August 2029.” “Labour is polling 13ppts below its 2024 election victory share of the vote and could lose more than 200 seats in parliament if an election were held today (according to Electoral Calculus), potentially delivering a Reform UK-Conservative co
The post Tokenized Real-World Assets Market Surges to $32 Billion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The market for tokenized real-world assets has nearly tripled in a single year — and that may only be the beginning. By the end of June 2026, on-chain value across tokenized RWAs reached $32.22 billion, up from roughly $11.8 billion a year earlier. Geoff Kendrick, head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, sees this as the early innings of a far larger shift, projecting that assets deployed in DeFi could hit $2.7 trillion by 2030. Key takeaways Tokenized RWA on-chain value reached $32.22 billion by June 2026, nearly triple the $11.8 billion recorded a year prior. US Treasuries lead all asset categories at $15 billion on-chain, with BlackRock’s BUIDL fund alone surpassing $2.9 billion in total asset value by June 2025. Only 10% of tokenized RWAs are currently used in DeFi; Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick projects that share rising to 30% by 2030. The DTCC launched a pil
