Written at the End of 2025: Code, Power, and Stablecoins

By the end of 2025, stablecoins have firmly established themselves, with a market cap surpassing $300 billion—a growth of nearly $100 billion in under a year. This growth reflects institutional confidence, with major banks projecting multi-trillion dollar valuations in the coming years. Stablecoins are no longer just a crypto narrative but a fundamental shift in monetary infrastructure, built on code and verifiable trust rather than opaque intermediaries. The failure of Synapse highlighted the risks of traditional fintech: hidden counterparty risk and unverifiable accounting. In contrast, self-custodied stablecoins eliminate intermediary risk, though issuer risk remains—mitigated by transparent reserve proofs and on-chain monitoring. Stablecoins enable global reach from day one, bypassing the need for localized banking infrastructure. The bottleneck remains fiat on/off-ramps, but modular solutions allow for gradual integration. New purpose-built blockchains like Tempo and Arc aim to optimize payments but face trust barriers compared to battle-tested networks like Ethereum and Solana. Agentic finance presents a near-term opportunity in automating mundane financial tasks, with smart contracts enabling secure, permission-bound automation. However, security remains critical: rapid growth must not compromise operational rigor. Privacy is another key challenge, as real-world business adoption requires selective disclosure—proving compliance without exposing sensitive data. The true potential of stablecoins lies beyond replicating existing fintech—it’s in unlocking programmable money, internet-native capital markets, and reimagining financial services through verifiable, autonomous systems.

The RWA Narrative is Shifting: Why is Tokenized Gold Being Repeatedly Mentioned?

The narrative around Real World Assets (RWA) is shifting from theoretical discussions about which assets can be tokenized to a more practical focus on which tokenized assets can achieve long-term viability and scale. Tokenized gold is increasingly highlighted as one of the most promising directions in RWA development. Gold possesses inherent advantages: it is a globally recognized store of value with established custodial, auditing, and settlement systems. The primary challenge for its on-chain adoption isn't proving its legitimacy but rather improving its accessibility, lowering transaction costs, and enabling seamless cross-border movement. Tokenization addresses the low liquidity and high friction associated with physical gold, allowing it to circulate like a digital asset within crypto financial systems. This trend is further amplified by the current macro environment marked by geopolitical uncertainty and inflation, which reinforces gold's traditional role as a safe-haven asset. The conversation is moving beyond feasibility to examine practical operational requirements: physical custody, verifiable reserves, data consistency between on-chain and off-chain systems, and compliance across jurisdictions. Early infrastructure platforms, such as Matrixdock's XAUm token, which is backed by LBMA-standard physical gold, are emerging. They emphasize building robust foundational layers—including verifiable reserves and regulatory compliance—rather than merely offering a trading product. Ultimately, the next phase of RWA evolution will be a systemic test of asset selection, operational stability, and sustainability. Tokenized gold represents a clear and verifiable intersection of asset maturity, real-world demand, and on-chain utility.

RWA Weekly Report|Data: Approximately 50% of Euro Stablecoins Deployed on Ethereum; Potential Policy Adjustments as Trump Prepares for Next November's Midterm Elections May Again Impact Digital Assets (12.18-12.23)

RWA Weekly Report: Data shows approximately 50% of euro-denominated stablecoins are deployed on Ethereum; potential policy shifts as Trump prepares for midterm elections may impact digital asset markets (Dec 18–23, 2025). The on-chain value of Real World Assets (RWA) grew 1.65% to $19.05 billion, while the broader RWA market contracted slightly to $402.57 billion. User adoption continued to rise, with RWA holders increasing to 582,639 and stablecoin holders reaching 212.54 million. U.S. Treasury bonds remained the core asset at $8.7 billion, while commodities and private equity saw notable growth. Key developments include the SEC issuing new guidance for crypto asset custody and ATS operations, Hong Kong proposing new rules for insurer investments in crypto assets, and U.S. lawmakers discussing tax exemptions for small stablecoin transactions. Data from Token Terminal indicates about half of all euro stablecoins are on Ethereum. Political focus remains on potential policy adjustments by Trump ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which could affect digital asset markets. Projects like Ondo Finance and MSX (STONKS) are advancing tokenized traditional assets, with Ondo expanding to Solana and MSX preparing for Nasdaq’s potential entry into tokenized stocks. Ghana legalized cryptocurrency trading and is exploring gold-backed stablecoins, reflecting global regulatory evolution. Stablecoin supply reached $300 billion in 2025, with significant transaction volume driving growth in related ecosystems.

Understanding Tokenization: Distinguishing the DTCC Model from the Direct Ownership Model

The article clarifies the key differences between two distinct tokenization models in the securities market: the DTCC model and the direct ownership model. The DTCC model, recently approved by the SEC, involves tokenizing "security entitlements" within the existing, multi-layered intermediary system. It creates a digital twin of these rights on a blockchain to improve operational efficiency, enable 24/7 transfers between institutions, and reduce costs, all while preserving the core benefits of the current system, such as netting and centralized liquidity. Crucially, it does not tokenize the underlying shares themselves, and ownership remains indirect. In contrast, the direct ownership model tokenizes the shares themselves, recording ownership directly on the issuer's share registry. This approach enables self-custody, peer-to-peer transfers, and full composability with on-chain DeFi applications. While this model sacrifices the efficiency of netting and leads to fragmented liquidity, it offers unprecedented functionality and disintermediation. The article concludes that these are not competing visions but complementary paths serving different needs. The DTCC model modernizes the core of the public markets for institutional scale and stability, while the direct ownership model fosters innovation at the edge. The ultimate winner is investor choice, as both paths will coexist, offering a broader market interface with more options for all participants.

Operation Chokepoint 2.0 Concludes as Fed Withdraws Crypto Restrictions: A Long-Overdue Institutional Shift

The article discusses the end of "Operation Chokepoint 2.0," a coordinated U.S. regulatory effort to restrict banking services for the cryptocurrency industry in 2023. Internal FDIC documents confirmed this de-banking campaign, which increased regulatory friction and limited crypto firms' access to banking services following the collapse of several banks. A key tool was a Federal Reserve policy that classified crypto-related activities—such as stablecoin services, on-chain settlement, and crypto custody—as "high-risk innovation," subjecting them to additional scrutiny. Recently, the Federal Reserve officially revoked this restrictive policy, signaling a shift in regulatory approach. This change is not due to a sudden pro-crypto stance but reflects the growing recognition that isolating the industry is increasingly impractical. Stablecoin adoption has expanded, on-chain dollar settlements have become more frequent, and capital flows have continued outside the traditional banking system, creating potential systemic risks. The case of Custodia Bank, which was denied a master account and access to the dollar clearing system, exemplifies the impact of these policies. Custodia has since sought a rehearing, and its legal challenge is seen as a test of whether regulators are moving from a default rejection to a compliance-based准入 approach. Concurrently, the SEC issued guidance on how broker-dealers should custody crypto assets, detailing requirements for private key management, blockchain risk assessment, and response to extreme events like 51% attacks. Other agencies, like the OCC, have also expanded recognition of stablecoins and custody services. The overall trend indicates a regulatory pivot from blocking crypto to managing it structurally. Activities are being modularized into manageable components—settlement, custody, clearing, and risk control—rather than being treated as a monolithic high-risk category. The shift acknowledges that on-chain dollar flows are now a integral part of global finance, and regulators must engage with them rather than remain absent. The real impact will be seen in who is permitted to participate in the next phase of the dollar settlement and custody system.
