RWA Weekly: NYSE Announces Development of Tokenized Securities Platform; Hong Kong Expected to Issue First Batch of Stablecoin Licenses This Year

RWA Weekly: NYSE Announces Development of Tokenized Securities Platform; Hong Kong Expected to Issue First Stablecoin Licenses This Year This week’s RWA sector saw steady growth, with the on-chain market cap reaching $22.59 billion and holders exceeding 646,000. Stablecoin market cap slightly declined to $2.96 trillion, while monthly transfer volume surged to $8.99 trillion, indicating high-frequency settlement activity amid slowing capital inflows. Regulatory developments include Hong Kong’s plan to issue its first stablecoin licenses in 2024, and China’s emphasis on digital yuan smart contract capabilities. Institutionally, the NYSE revealed it is developing a tokenized securities trading and settlement platform, and F/m Investments applied to the SEC for a tokenized ETF share pilot. Key project updates: Ondo Finance expanded its tokenized stocks and ETFs to Solana, RedStone acquired Security Token Market to enhance RWA data infrastructure, and Superstate raised $82.5 million to build an on-chain issuance layer. Payment innovations advanced as Argentina’s Pomelo secured funding to launch a stablecoin-based credit card. The market is shifting from user growth to efficiency and scale, driven by traditional finance, while stablecoins show signs of high liquidity but potential capital recycling within the system.

CZ at Davos Talks About the Future: Tokenization, Payments, and AI Are Accelerating Integration

CZ, founder of Binance, discussed the convergence of tokenization, payments, and AI at Davos. He highlighted that while exchanges and stablecoins are mature sectors, he is particularly excited about three emerging areas: tokenization of real-world assets, the integration of crypto into traditional payment systems, and the use of crypto as the native currency for AI agents. He expressed skepticism about the long-term viability of meme coins and predicted a significant reduction in physical bank branches due to digitalization. CZ also addressed risks, arguing that technological speed amplifies existing systemic flaws rather than creating new ones, using Binance's handling of massive withdrawals as an example of robust system design. He noted the vast differences in global crypto regulation and advocated for a passport system for licenses to foster innovation.

Delphi Digital: The Ultimate War of Super Apps, Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, X Enter the Fray

The article "Delphi Digital: The Ultimate War of Super Apps - Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, X Enter the Fray" argues that the future of crypto industry dominance lies in controlling the interface layer, similar to how leading internet companies like Amazon and Meta succeeded by controlling information discovery and distribution channels. Super apps integrate various crypto services—lending protocols, exchanges, yield sources, and payment channels—into a single interface. Advancements like account abstraction, low-cost rollups, and reliable bridges are solving long-standing user experience issues, enabling real-world use cases beyond speculation. Key players are adopting distinct strategies: - **Coinbase** is diversifying beyond trading, leveraging Base rollup and stablecoin revenue, and making strategic acquisitions (e.g., Deribit, Echo) to combine custodial convenience with permissionless access. - **Robinhood** unifies traditional and crypto finance, using a subscription model to enhance user loyalty and expanding internationally with blockchain-based securities. - **Binance**, with over 270M users, leverages its massive scale to integrate trading, payments, staking, and wallet services, using token discovery programs to drive growth. - **Kraken** focuses on segmented user experiences (e.g., Inky for fast trading, Krak for payments) while maintaining unified underlying technology, and has expanded via acquisitions (e.g., NinjaTrader). - **X (Twitter)** remains a wildcard, with regulatory approvals and partnerships in place but not yet native payment capabilities, posing a potential disruptive threat. The battle for the default crypto interface is intensifying, with the winner poised to capture significant protocol value.

What Happens If XRP Starts Competing With Major Banks?

The article explores the evolving role of XRP and Ripple, suggesting they are transitioning from merely coexisting with global banks to potentially competing with them directly. Ripple's recent strategic acquisitions, such as Hidden Road (now Ripple Prime) for prime brokerage, GTreasury for treasury management, and Rail for stablecoin payments, have expanded its capabilities into core banking functions like clearing, custody, and liquidity services. These moves position Ripple to challenge traditional banks in multi-trillion-dollar revenue streams like treasury, remittances, and custody. Ripple aims to capture a significant share of cross-border transactions, competing with SWIFT, while banks face costly infrastructure upgrades to remain competitive. The shift signals a broader transformation in the line between cryptocurrency and traditional banking.

Ripple’s RLUSD Is Not A Threat To XRP’s Future, Here’s Why

Following the announcement of Ripple's stablecoin, RLUSD, rumors spread that XRP would become less useful. However, crypto analyst XFinanceBull refuted these claims, explaining that RLUSD is designed to complement, not replace, XRP. He emphasized that both assets serve distinct roles within the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem. RLUSD is expected to attract significant capital and liquidity to the XRPL, which will structurally benefit XRP. Increased stablecoin trading activity creates more payment routes and leads to more XRP being burned. Additionally, XRP acts as a bridge currency in trades involving RLUSD, indirectly driving demand for the asset. Ripple’s former CTO, David Schwartz, further clarified that RLUSD brings more credible assets to the ledger, expanding use cases and developer opportunities. The auto-bridging feature on the XRPL DEX uses XRP to facilitate efficient trades between different currencies, meaning growing RLUSD adoption reinforces demand for XRP. Despite short-term declines, XRP’s utility is strengthened by real transaction flows, not diminished by the stablecoin’s introduction.

L2's 'Card Swipe' Era: When the Scaling Narrative Ends, Payments Become the Lifeline

The article discusses the growing "payment card" trend among Layer-2 (L2) networks as a strategy to survive a severe user activity and transaction crisis. It begins with Solana's criticism of Starknet's low usage (allegedly only 8 daily active users and 10 transactions) despite its high valuation, highlighting a broader issue of low traffic across many L2s, as evidenced by data from L2BEAT and DefiLlama. Key examples include Zero Network, which stopped producing blocks for weeks with minimal impact, and networks like Linea, Starknet, Scroll, and ZKsync exhibiting very low Transactions Per Second (TPS). With Base and Arbitrum dominating 80% of the Total Value Locked (TVL), other L2s face a significant valuation-to-usage disparity. Facing a lack of killer dApps, L2s are turning to cryptocurrency payment cards to generate consistent on-chain activity. Unlike custodial cards from exchanges (which use chains like Tron or Solana for batch settlement), L2s are leveraging non-custodial cards that require on-chain settlement for each transaction. Examples include: - **Scroll**: Partnered with Etherfi for gasless transactions and cashback subsidies. - **Gnosis**: Its Gnosis Pay card converts user assets to stablecoins for euro payments. - **Linea**: Used as a primary settlement layer for the MetaMask card. This shift provides a high-frequency, sustainable use case, driving transaction volume. Even Polygon is pivoting to payments, citing significant non-USD stablecoin transfer volumes and major acquisitions like Coinme. The conclusion is that L2s, after various failed narratives, are now prioritizing practical, low-cost payment solutions to ensure their survival.

Rhythm Interview with OpenMind: From x402 Payments to Building the 'Android for Robots'

In a 2025 interview, OpenMind founder and Stanford professor Jan Liphardt discusses his vision for building the "brain" for humanoid robots, positioning it as a potential "Android for robots." Following a $20 million funding round, OpenMind has accelerated its product roadmap, launching a suite of offerings from an underlying operating system to a payment protocol. A core of OpenMind’s strategy is enabling the emerging "Machine Economy," where robots act as independent economic agents. A key development is its partnership with Circle and the implementation of the x402 protocol, allowing robots to autonomously conduct transactions using USDC stablecoins—exemplified by robots independently paying for charging at stations in San Francisco. Beyond payments, OpenMind is creating a modular operating system (OM1) and a dedicated app store where users can download skills and applications for their robots. The company aims to address critical challenges in robotics, including value exchange, identity authentication, data privacy, and collaborative governance through its FABRIC protocol and blockchain technology, envisioning a future of seamless human-robot collaboration.

Assessing Ripple’s growth – RLUSD’s Binance listing and XRP’s long-term prospects

Ripple's growth trajectory is bolstered by the Binance listing of its stablecoin RLUSD, along with XRP/RLUSD and RLUSD/USDT trading pairs, marking a strategic expansion in the digital payments sector. This move enhances liquidity and broadens access to Ripple’s ecosystem. RLUSD is designed for multichain interoperability, integrating Ethereum and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), facilitating seamless transactions and positioning Ripple for success in DeFi, payments, and remittances. Backed by U.S. dollar reserves and regulatory approvals, RLUSD strengthens trust and compliance. Despite a short-term dip in XRP’s price, Ripple’s focus on regulatory progress and stablecoin expansion supports its long-term leadership in cross-border payments and tokenized finance.
