RWA Weekly Report｜Non-US Government Debt Rises by 18.8%; Yield-Bearing Stablecoins Generate Over $250 Million in Returns in 2025 (12.30-1.6)

RWA Weekly Report: Non-US Government Debt Surges 18.8%; Yield-Bearing Stablecoins Generate Over $250M in Returns (Dec 30 - Jan 6) The on-chain total value of Real World Assets (RWA) continued its upward trend, increasing by 2.83% to $19.59 billion. The broader RWA market saw a slight contraction, falling 0.26% to $401.53 billion. User activity grew significantly, with the number of asset holders rising 3.82% to 604,909. Stablecoin holders also increased by 2.54% to 217.94 million, though the total stablecoin market cap dipped slightly by 0.2%. In terms of asset structure, US Treasuries remained dominant at $8.7 billion. A notable standout was non-US government debt, which surged 18.8% to $772.1 million. Public equity also grew by 7.6% to $775.4 million. In contrast, private credit was the only sector to see a significant decline, decreasing by $200 million to $2.3 billion. Key developments included Ethereum stablecoin transfer volume exceeding $8 trillion in Q4, a new record. Yield-bearing stablecoins generated over $250 million in returns in 2025, with sUSDe, BUIDL, and sUSDS being major contributors. Tether invested in the cross-border QR code payment platform SQRIL. Standard Chartered and Ant International launched a commercial blockchain-based tokenized deposit solution in Hong Kong and Singapore. The report also highlighted growing institutional engagement, with PwC increasing its focus on crypto and BlackRock noting that stablecoins are becoming a bridge between traditional finance and digital liquidity, potentially challenging government control over fiat currencies. Despite predictions of a potential "crypto winter" in 2026 by some analysts, the underlying trends of institutionalization and on-chain transformation, particularly in RWA tokenization, are expected to continue advancing.

Grayscale Becomes First U.S. Issuer to Pay ETH Staking Rewards

Grayscale has become the first U.S.-listed cryptocurrency issuer to distribute Ethereum staking rewards, marking a significant milestone for institutional participation in blockchain-based yield. Its Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (ETHE) completed an initial distribution of $9.4 million in cash, equivalent to staking rewards earned between October and December 2025. This allows investors to gain yield from Ethereum’s proof-of-stake mechanism without diluting their ETH exposure. The move represents a structural shift for Ethereum ETFs, adding a yield component beyond pure price tracking. While offering new opportunities, the product also carries risks such as staking lock-ups and smart contract vulnerabilities. Other major firms like BlackRock and Fidelity are also exploring staking-enabled ETH products, but Grayscale is the first to successfully execute a reward distribution. This development underscores Ethereum’s growing role as a source of regulated yield for institutional investors.

GOAT Network and DitoBanx Launch Bitcoin Self-Custody Yield Pilot in Mexico, Reaching Over 100,000 Users

GOAT Network has partnered with Latin American fintech platform DitoBanx to launch a pilot program for Bitcoin self-custody yield in Mexico, reaching over 100,000 users. The initiative introduces GOAT's white-label product, Safebox, within DitoBanx's regulated mobile app. This non-custodial solution allows users to earn Bitcoin-denominated yields without transferring asset custody or participating in lending schemes. Unlike traditional yield models that rely on centralized custody or credit-based mechanisms, Safebox offers principal protection and is powered by GOAT Network’s decentralized sequencer rewards. Users retain full control of their Bitcoin private keys while earning a 1.5% annualized yield over a three-month pilot period. The collaboration combines DitoBanx’s regulated onboarding, fiat rails, and user-friendly interface with a structurally distinct yield mechanism, reducing counterparty risk. The pilot aims to enhance Bitcoin-based financial accessibility in Latin America and may expand to other markets where DitoBanx operates. This model represents a potential evolution for Bitcoin savings products, balancing regulatory compliance with self-sovereign asset control.

USD1 is flooding Solana – Is this real capital or yield recycling?

USD1, a stablecoin by World Liberty Financial, is rapidly expanding on Solana with a $3.31 billion market cap and significant trading volume. It is increasingly used for cross-chain capital flows, contributing to a surge in Solana’s DEX activity, which hit a record daily volume of over $260 million in early January. USD1 enhances transaction efficiency with its stable peg and supports liquidity on platforms like Raydium, particularly in meme coin trading. Its growth is fueled by high yields, institutional interest, and partnerships, positioning it as a competitor to USDT and USDC. However, its sustainability depends on regulatory clarity, continued yields, and market conditions, as volatility or political scrutiny could slow its momentum.

Exploring Convex Finance’s 28% rally – Confusion, conviction, or both?

Convex Finance (CVX) rallied 28% in 24 hours with a 12x surge in trading volume. While some speculated the pump was due to a ticker symbol confusion with Chevron, this theory is largely dismissed. Instead, the rally is attributed to a technical breakout from a multi-month consolidation below $2, bolstered by returning market liquidity and positive altcoin sentiment. Technical indicators like the OBV and DMI turned bullish, with key resistance levels identified at $2.32 and $2.90. Analysts suggest a potential pullback to the $1.90 region could offer a buying opportunity, targeting the $2.92 Fibonacci extension level, with a break below $1.87 invalidating the bullish outlook.

BitMine Stakes $259M ETH as Validator Queue Nears 1M Ether

BitMine Immersion Technologies staked an additional 82,560 ETH (worth $259 million), bringing its total staked Ether to 544,064 ETH ($1.62 billion). This move has pushed Ethereum’s validator entry queue close to 977,000 ETH, with an estimated 17-day wait time for new validators. In contrast, exit activity remains low, reflecting strong institutional confidence in staking yields rather than liquidity. Over 29% of all ETH is now staked, with an annualized return of 2.54%. BitMine’s strategy aligns with its plan to build its own staking infrastructure, and Chairman Tom Lee supports expanding the company’s share structure to accommodate potential future growth.

The Glory, Troughs, and Turmoil of DeFi

DeFi in 2025 experienced phases of growth, volatility, and consolidation, with key metrics showing sustained expansion despite market turbulence. Total Value Locked (TVL) remained above year-start levels, though influenced by crypto asset price fluctuations. Major events like the October liquidation event, triggered by macroeconomic news, led to $19B in liquidations and a 28% TVL drop but demonstrated DeFi lending protocols like Aave and Morpho handled清算 robustly with minimal bad debt. Notable successes included Pendle, a yield-trading protocol; Ethena, with its delta-neutral stablecoin USDe and "stablecoin-as-a-service" model; and Hyperliquid, a leading perpetual futures DEX. Key thriving sectors were perpetual trading, where DEX volume hit ~18% of CEX, and stablecoins, whose market cap grew over 50% to $309B, though still dominated by Tether and Circle. The collapse of over-leveraged stablecoins like Stream Finance's xUSD highlighted risks in high-yield, under-collateralized strategies. The industry shifted focus to fundamentals, with revenue generation becoming critical—stablecoin issuers led with 76% of sector revenue. Protocols increasingly adopted buyback mechanisms (e.g., Hyperliquid, Aave) to align value with token holders, emphasizing sustainable economics over speculation.

The Era of 'Passive Income' Ends: How Will Crypto Options Carry the Banner of Returns in 2026?

The "lazy yield" era in crypto is ending as traditional DeFi yields compress. Crypto options are poised to become a key financial instrument by 2026, driven by three trends: the decline of easy yields, the emergence of simplified "entry-level products" that abstract options into one-click interfaces, and institutional validation from acquisitions like Coinbase's $2.9 billion purchase of Deribit. While on-chain options currently represent a small fraction of crypto derivatives volume, the success of platforms like Polymarket—which processed $9 billion in 2024—shows strong retail demand for probabilistic betting. New protocols like Euphoria are radically simplifying options into intuitive, gamified experiences, hiding complexity behind sleek UIs. Simultaneously, advanced DeFi options protocols (e.g., Rysk, Derive, GammaSwap, Panoptic) are evolving to serve institutional needs—offering structured products, hedging tools, and capital-efficient strategies for DAOs, funds, and LPs. These platforms provide transparent, composable, and non-custodial options infrastructure. The market will likely bifurcate: a retail layer focused on abstracted, dopamine-driven applications and an institutional layer offering sophisticated risk management and yield strategies. As passive yields diminish, options are emerging as the next frontier for both speculative and defensive crypto finance.
