The post What are RWA perpetuals? Stock and commodity perps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Crypto exchanges now let you trade Tesla, gold, oil, and even pre-IPO companies like SpaceX and OpenAI as perpetual futures, around the clock, with leverage, without owning a single share. This guide explains how RWA perpetuals work, how a contract tracks an asset the blockchain cannot see, what happens when the stock market closes and the perp does not, and the real risks behind the most ambitious expansion perps have ever attempted. Summary RWA perps bring crypto-style perpetual futures to off-chain assets like stocks, commodities, currencies, and private companies. These contracts provide price exposure only, not ownership, dividends, votes, or any claim on the underlying asset. The oracle is the core risk layer because it decides what off-chain price the contract tracks and what price can liquidate traders. Closed-market gaps make stock and commodity perps structurally different from cr
The post Will Financial Markets Crash in July? Iran Ceasefire Collapse Puts Investors to the Test appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
President Donald Trump declared the US-Iran ceasefire over on Wednesday, reviving fears of a markets crash in July. Stock futures fell more than 1% while oil surged and gold climbed. Wall Street’s early reaction suggests caution rather than panic. The bigger question is whether renewed war risk triggers a deep July sell-off, or whether investors have already built the danger into prices.

The post Canada: Trade surplus at four-year high – NBC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
National Bank of Canada’s (NBC) strategist Alexandra Ducharme reports Canada’s merchandise trade surplus hit a four-year high in May as exports reached a record C$77.1 billion. Gains were driven by metal ores and non-metallic minerals, while energy exports declined. Imports fell mainly on weaker gold-related purchases, and real trade flows point to a positive contribution to second-quarter growth. Record exports lift trade surplus “Canada’s merchandise trade surplus reached its highest level in four years in May, as exports rose to a record C$77.1 billion.” “In real terms, with two months of data in the quarter, exports are tracking a 27.1% annualized increase, while imports are set to rise 11.5%. This indicates that trade is likely to contribute positively to growth in the second quarter.” “Looking ahead, the recent decline in energy prices following the easing of tensions in the Middle East is

Gold (XAU/USD) sees a sharp move lower on Wednesday after US President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire deal with Iran was “over” and said that dealing with Tehran is “a waste of time” while speaking at the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey. At the time of writing, XAU/USD is trading around $4,055, retracing most of the gains recorded in the previous week.

The post Analyst Michael Gayed Names XRP Among Four Assets to Survive a Global Margin Call appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
XRP News Portfolio manager Michael Gayed has placed XRP among a short list of four assets he believes can weather an approaching global margin call, sitting alongside the Japanese yen, gold and oil. Gayed, founder of The Lead-Lag Report, argues the financial system is nearing a point where regulators will be forced to prioritize bond markets over equities. His framework treats XRP not as a speculative altcoin but as a potential capital-transfer channel that could attract flows if a liquidity shock unwinds leveraged positions across traditional markets. The comments circulated widely as XRP traded near $1.08. At the center of the thesis is what Gayed calls a reverse carry trade. For years, investors borrowed cheaply in yen to buy overheated U.S. equities, a strategy that works only while Japanese financing stays loose. Gayed warns that the mechanism can snap vi
