What Malaysia’s royal stablecoin reveals about Asia’s shift to tokenized money

Malaysia's RMJDT is a ringgit-pegged stablecoin issued by Bullish Aim, a company linked to Johor's Crown Prince, on the Zetrix blockchain. Designed for payments and cross-border trade, it is backed by ringgit cash and government bonds, with a conservative reserve model. A separate treasury funded with Zetrix tokens aims to ensure network stability. This initiative reflects Asia's broader shift toward regulated tokenized money, where stablecoins are increasingly subject to licensing, reserve rules, and redemption requirements. It also highlights the growing need for onchain settlement in local currencies to support the expansion of tokenized assets, as seen in regional efforts like Singapore's Project Guardian. Regulatory frameworks in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan emphasize supervised issuance, aligning with Malaysia's phased approach to financial tokenization.

After the Breakthrough Year of 2025, Is a $10 Trillion Crypto Market No Longer a Pipe Dream?

The year 2025 has been a landmark period for the cryptocurrency industry, marked by a global breakthrough in regulatory compliance. Key developments include the U.S. shifting from restrictive policies under the Trump administration—such as establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve and passing the GENIUS Stablecoin Act—to creating a clear federal regulatory framework. The EU further implemented its MiCA regulation, enabling licensed crypto firms to operate across all member states, while Hong Kong introduced its own stablecoin ordinance, accelerating Asia’s compliance efforts. This regulatory clarity has encouraged institutional participation, with corporate crypto allocations reaching $120 billion in the first three quarters of 2025—a 450% increase from 2024. The approval of numerous crypto ETFs, including BlackRock’s $70 billion Bitcoin ETF, provided new avenues for mainstream investment. Major companies like Walmart and Amazon began exploring stablecoins for cross-border settlements, reducing costs by up to 60%. Industry leaders such as Coinbase, OKX, and Binance expanded their global compliance efforts, acquiring licenses in multiple jurisdictions and adapting to new regulations. Investment firms like a16z and Fidelity also played roles in shaping policies and promoting institutional adoption. With a mature regulatory foundation now in place, the crypto market is transitioning from speculative trading to real-world utility. The path toward a $10 trillion market cap appears increasingly achievable as compliance drives broader adoption, stability, and integration with the traditional financial system.

RWA Weekly: Coinbase Announces Launch of Prediction Markets and Tokenized Stocks; Stablecoin U Goes Live on BNB Chain and Ethereum

RWA Weekly Roundup: Coinbase Launches Prediction Markets and Tokenized Stocks; Stablecoin $U Debuts on BNB Chain and Ethereum The on-chain RWA market cap rose slightly to $18.9 billion, while stablecoin market capitalization exceeded $300 billion, though transaction activity declined, indicating a "stagnant liquidity" phase. Regulatory developments accelerated globally, with China promoting the digital yuan, and the U.S., Canada, and Hong Kong advancing stablecoin and asset tokenization frameworks. Traditional financial institutions expanded their involvement: JPMorgan launched a tokenized money market fund on Ethereum and integrated JPM Coin with Base, while Visa and Mastercard extended stablecoin payment services. DTCC partnered with Canton Network for U.S. Treasury tokenization. Coinbase introduced prediction markets and tokenized stocks, PayPal launched a PYUSD savings vault, and SoFi issued its own stablecoin, SoFiUSD. Emerging markets like Brazil and Pakistan also explored sovereign asset tokenization. Stablecoin $U went live on BNB Chain and Ethereum, integrating with DeFi protocols like PancakeSwap and ListaDAO. Despite growth, JPMorgan analysts caution that stablecoin market size may not reach $1 trillion by 2028, projecting a more moderate expansion to $500-600 billion. The sector continues to evolve, driven by regulatory clarity and institutional adoption, embedding RWA deeper into global payment and asset management systems.

How Will the Crypto Industry Evolve in 2026?

The crypto industry is expected to undergo significant transformation in 2026, moving away from speculative hype and toward real-world utility and institutional integration. Bitcoin continues to behave like a high-volatility institutional asset, influenced by macro conditions and ETF-driven capital flows. Regulatory clarity is advancing, with the U.S. implementing stablecoin and market structure laws, while Hong Kong introduces licensing regimes for stablecoin issuers and welcomes compliant crypto platforms like HashKey on its stock exchange. Key trends include the growth of stablecoins beyond $300B in circulation, prediction markets gaining traction for event-based forecasting, and the tokenization of real-world assets like equities. Emerging areas highlighted by a16z include AI agent identity verification (KYA), privacy-focused blockchains, micro-payment protocols like x402, and staked media models where content is backed by financial stakes. Industry experts emphasize that crypto is maturing beyond a closed ecosystem, integrating into global payments, remittances, and financial infrastructure. While short-term volatility may persist, the long-term direction points toward a more regulated, useful, and structurally embedded role in the global economy.

The Rise and Fall of Binance's Hegemony: The Stablecoin War from BUSD's 'Unification' to $U's 'Dominance'

"Binance's Stablecoin Wars: From BUSD's 'Unification' to $U's 'Domination'" This article chronicles Binance's evolving strategy in the stablecoin arena, tracing its journey from aggressive dominance to a more sophisticated, aggregator model. The story begins with the ambitious launch of BUSD, a Paxos-issued stablecoin born from a partnership between Binance's CZ and Paxos's Richmond Teo. Binance's most aggressive move came in 2022 with a "liquidity unification" blitz, automatically converting user balances of USDC, USDP, and TUSD into BUSD and removing their trading pairs. This tactic briefly propelled BUSD to a $23 billion market cap. However, its downfall was swift. A critical structural flaw was its "Binance-Peg BUSD," an unregulated, shadow version on the BNB Chain that sometimes lacked sufficient collateral. This led to a regulatory "Valentine's Day massacre" in February 2023, when the NYDFS ordered Paxos to stop minting BUSD, effectively killing the project. In the subsequent vacuum, Binance first promoted the Hong Kong-based FDUSD as a transitional solution and created BFUSD, an internal, yield-bearing "reward asset" for use as futures collateral. The narrative then shifts to Binance's latest and most surprising play: United Stables ($U). This new "meta-stablecoin" represents a strategic evolution. Instead of trying to eliminate rivals like USDT and USDC, $U aggregates them, backing itself with a basket of these major stablecoins. Notably, it also includes USD1, a stablecoin from the Trump-linked World Liberty Financial project, led by none other than Richmond Teo. A key innovation of $U is its design for the "AI economy," featuring gasless transactions (EIP-3009) to facilitate machine-to-machine micropayments. The article concludes that Binance's strategy has evolved from the "霸道" (hegemonic) force of BUSD to the "大同" (greater unification) approach of $U, which seeks to absorb existing liquidity rather than destroy it, while positioning itself for the future frontier of AI-driven finance.

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.

Fidelity macro lead calls $65K Bitcoin bottom in 2026, end of bull cycle

Fidelity's global macro director Jurrien Timmer suggests Bitcoin may have peaked at its $125,000 all-time high in October, marking the end of its typical four-year halving cycle. He predicts a potential downturn with support level around $65,000–75,000 and a possible "off year" for Bitcoin in 2026. This view contrasts with analysts like Delphi Digital's Tom Shaughnessy, who expects new all-time highs in 2026 once the market recovers from October’s major liquidation event. Regulatory progress and institutional adoption are cited as potential bullish drivers, though current social sentiment remains bearish as Bitcoin dipped below $85,000. Data also shows "smart money" traders are net short on Bitcoin but long on Ethereum.

Bitcoin Price Will Hit All-Time High in 2026, Bitwise Predicts, Will Be ‘Less Volatile’ Than Nvidia

Bitwise predicts Bitcoin will reach a new all-time high in 2026 and become less volatile than high-growth tech stocks like Nvidia, citing growing institutional adoption and regulatory clarity. The firm expects Bitcoin's volatility to decline further due to a maturing market structure and increased participation from long-term investors. Additionally, Ethereum and Solana are also forecasted to hit new record highs, especially if the U.S. passes the CLARITY Act. Bitwise highlights stablecoins and tokenized financial assets as key trends driving this growth. However, near-term risks remain, with technical analysis suggesting a potential short-term correction for Bitcoin to the $70,000–$72,000 range before a possible rebound.
