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
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

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

The post India: Cheaper Oil supports FY27 deficit target – Standard Chartered appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Standard Chartered economists Anubhuti Sahay and Saurav Anand assess India’s FY27 fiscal deficit outlook, highlighting how lower crude Oil prices reduce the risk of fiscal slippage to about 0.2-0.3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) versus 0.5% earlier. They cite the Economic Stabilisation Fund, reduced subsidy burden, partial excise duty rollback, and faster divestment as key supports, while noting remaining but manageable risks. Lower slippage risk with cheaper Oil “We think the risk of a slippage in the central government’s FY27 (year ending March 2027) fiscal deficit has eased to 0.2-0.3% of GDP, given the sharp fall in crude oil prices; we had previously estimated slippage risk at 0.5% of GDP (see At a Glance – India – Is the tide turning?). The central government has targeted the FY27 fiscal deficit at 4.3% of GDP.” “Likely lower losses from the excise duty cut, a lowe
The post Base To Launch B20 Standard For Fungible Tokens On Mainnet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 network Base is set to activate its B20 token standard on mainnet, introducing a native framework for stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and other fungible tokens. According to Base documentation, B20 is scheduled to go live at 6 pm UTC on the mainnet, enabling developers to begin creating tokens under the new standard. The activation will enable developers to use Base’s native token standard to create stablecoins, RWAs, tokenized equities and other fungible tokens without requiring them to build and audit custom ERC-20 contracts. The standard supports two variants: asset and stablecoin. The asset variant has configurable decimals between six and 18, while the stablecoin variant has fixed six-decimal formatting and requires issuers to specify a fiat currency denomination, such as the US dollar or euro. B20 supports two variants. Source:
