RWA

RWA (Real World Assets) refers to the tokenization of tangible assets—such as real estate, private credit, and government bonds—on the blockchain. By bringing traditional financial instruments on-chain, RWA protocols like Ondo and Centrifuge provide DeFi users with stable, real-yield opportunities. In 2026, the RWA sector is a multi-trillion-dollar bridge between TradFi and DeFi, enabling fractional ownership and global liquidity for previously illiquid assets.

Harvard Economist Rogoff Reflects On Stunning Miss

Harvard Economist Rogoff Reflects On Stunning Miss

The post Harvard Economist Rogoff Reflects On Stunning Miss appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Remember that bold forecast from 2018? Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff famously suggested that Bitcoin was “more likely” to tumble to $100 than surge past $10,000. Fast forward to 2025, and Bitcoin is trading at a staggering $113,260, having recently hit an all-time high of $124,128. This dramatic rise has prompted Rogoff to reflect on his much-discussed Bitcoin prediction, offering valuable insights into the unpredictable nature of digital assets. Why Did the Bitcoin Prediction Go Wrong? Rogoff’s original thesis was straightforward: he believed Bitcoin’s primary use case was illicit activity. Consequently, he anticipated a global regulatory crackdown that would suppress its value. However, the reality unfolded quite differently. Speaking on X (formerly Twitter), Rogoff cited several key factors that led to his inaccurate forecast: Lack of Effective Regulation: Contrary to expectations, comprehensive global regulation did not materialize swiftly. This allowed Bitcoin to grow without the anticipated governmental constraints. Unexpected Adoption: Beyond illicit uses, Bitcoin saw significant and unexpected adoption. This included institutional investment, corporate treasuries, and growing mainstream acceptance, expanding its utility far beyond what was initially perceived. Regulatory Inaction: While discussions about regulation continued, concrete, coordinated global action that would cripple Bitcoin’s value largely remained absent, or was too slow to impact its momentum. These elements combined to create an environment where Bitcoin could flourish, directly contradicting the economist’s earlier Bitcoin prediction. The Unstoppable Rise of Bitcoin The journey from $10,000 to over $113,000 has been nothing short of remarkable. Bitcoin’s resilience and growth highlight a fundamental shift in how the world views digital currencies. What was once seen purely as a speculative or niche asset has evolved into a significant player in the global financial landscape. Its decentralized nature, coupled with increasing liquidity and infrastructure development, has fueled this impressive ascent. Many factors contributed to this growth, including: Growing…

End Of New Zealand’s Oil And Gas Drilling Ban Won’t Take Its Pain Away

End Of New Zealand’s Oil And Gas Drilling Ban Won’t Take Its Pain Away

The post End Of New Zealand’s Oil And Gas Drilling Ban Won’t Take Its Pain Away appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Oil and gas in New Zealand getty Last month, New Zealand’s oil and gas drilling ban – in place since 2018 – was lifted as the country grapples with an energy crisis and fears of deindustrialization. In bringing this about, prime minister and center-right leaning National Party leader Christopher Luxon both fulfilled a longstanding pledge as well as undid a signature move of his predecessor and former center-left Labour Party leader Jacinda Ardern. Seven years ago, much to the surprise and dismay of many, Ardern declared the age of oil and gas was over and said the New Zealand government won’t issue any more permits for offshore hydrocarbon exploration in its South Pacific exclusive zone. It was a systemic shock for a country sitting on viable oil deposits and 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas primarily extracted from the Taranaki basin on the country’s North Island, with major exploration clusters in fields of Kapuni, Pohokura, and Kupe. While existing permits were unaffected, the move signalled a massive change in direction for New Zealand a year on from a defeat for the previous right-wing government that favored expanding the oil and gas industry. The effects of what both preceded and followed a ban the industry saw coming are being felt to this day, and are unlikely to go away any time soon. Lifting Of The Ban Is No Panacea In the absence of fresh prospection and supply coming onstream, New Zealand’s ageing gas wells suffered a decline in output. Data released by the country’s Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment in June indicated gas production had almost halved in the last ten years, and was down 19% on the year. Headline supply levels are currently hovering at their lowest since the 1980s. After adjusting for inflation, natural gas prices in…

Fed Chief Urges Pro-Crypto Regulation For Future Finance

Fed Chief Urges Pro-Crypto Regulation For Future Finance

The post Fed Chief Urges Pro-Crypto Regulation For Future Finance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In a significant development for the digital asset landscape, Federal Reserve (Fed) Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman recently made a compelling case for a more supportive and clear approach to pro-crypto regulation. Speaking at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Bowman’s remarks signal a potentially transformative shift in how the nation’s central bank views the integration of cryptocurrencies into the mainstream financial system. Why is Pro-Crypto Regulation Crucial Now? The current regulatory environment for digital assets often faces criticism for its lack of clarity and fragmented nature. Michelle Bowman highlighted this challenge, advocating for specific, tailored rules rather than a broad-brush approach. She firmly believes that clear guidelines are essential to foster innovation while ensuring financial stability. Bowman expressed strong support for the upcoming GENIUS Act. This proposed legislation aims to provide a comprehensive framework for digital assets, which could finally bring the much-needed regulatory certainty to the crypto space. Such a framework is vital for both established financial institutions and emerging crypto companies. Embracing Stablecoins and Gaining Understanding A key aspect of Bowman’s vision includes the robust adoption of stablecoins. These digital currencies, pegged to traditional assets like the US dollar, offer a bridge between the conventional financial system and the burgeoning crypto economy. Their potential for efficient payments and broader financial inclusion is significant. Moreover, Bowman offered a truly innovative suggestion: allowing Fed staff to hold small amounts of cryptocurrency. This isn’t about investment; it’s about hands-on understanding. By experiencing the technology directly, regulators can gain invaluable insights, leading to more informed and effective pro-crypto regulation. This practical approach could bridge the knowledge gap that often hinders effective policymaking. The Stakes for Traditional Banks in Crypto Regulation Bowman delivered a stark warning to traditional banks: ignoring the rapidly evolving crypto sector carries substantial risks. According to a CoinDesk report,…

Will Sitting Kyle Tucker For A Series Fix His Slump?

Will Sitting Kyle Tucker For A Series Fix His Slump?

The post Will Sitting Kyle Tucker For A Series Fix His Slump? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Chicago Cubs’ Kyle Tucker reacts after striking out during the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds, Monday, Aug. 4, 2025, in Chicago. (AP Photo/Paul Beaty) Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved After Kyle Tucker went 0-for-4 against the Brewers on Monday afternoon, Cubs manager Craig Counsell announced that his right fielder was going to get multiple days off. The hope is that doing so will give Tucker a chance to clear his mind and stop the offensive free fall he has been on since at least the beginning of July. Since July 1, Tucker’s OPS has dropped over 100 points, from .931 to .821. He hasn’t had an extra base hit since July 30 and has not homered since July 19; that’s the only home run Tucker has in almost the last two months of the season. “The fans are frustrated and Kyle’s frustrated,” Counsell told reporters on Monday. “And it’s unfortunate, because Kyle, when you make outs, it doesn’t look great. But he’s trying. It’s just not clicking. We’re going to have to take a little step back here, for sure, and just give him some days off to reset him, hopefully. “Because he’s frustrated and we’re not coming up with solutions for him and he’s not coming up with solutions. Sometimes you have to take some steps back to go forward again.” Though Tucker has insisted it is not the case, many have wondered if the finger injury he suffered at the beginning of June is to blame for his offensive woes. Tucker got a day off as a “reset” almost two weeks ago, and at the time, president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer told reporters that he wondered whether the injured finger wasn’t a significant factor in Tucker’s decline at the…

FC Barcelona Takes Top Spot Early On

FC Barcelona Takes Top Spot Early On

The post FC Barcelona Takes Top Spot Early On appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lamine Yamal was among the goalscorers in ;allorca. Getty Images Spanish soccer returned in style with an action-packed matchweek one to start the 2025/26 La Liga season. With all 20 teams in action, it is defending champion Barcelona who have ended up topping the pile after a 3-0 win over Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. Elsewhere, Real Oviedo made their long-awaited return to the top flight action and it seemed to be going perfectly until Salomón Róndon missed a penalty, and Villarreal then showed the distance in quality between the two teams to secure a 2-0 win. Real Madrid also began the Xabi Alonso era in La Liga with a 1-0 win over Osasuna, also with new coach Alessio Lisci, as Los Blancos required a Kylian Mbappé penalty to open the scoring. Sevilla also welcomed new coach Matías Almeyda in a thrilling 3-2 defeat to Athletic Club. There were surprises in store as Atlético Madrid crashed to a 2-1 defeat away to Espanyol and lowly Getafe, with not even a full squad of players available, beat Celta Vigo 2-0 on the road. The storylines of La Liga matchweek one MVP of the week Beyond the goals, assists and tackles, there can be little arguing with the star of the show in this opening weekend being Santi Cazorla of Real Oviedo. Having returned to his boyhood club for one last hurrah and helping them earn promotion back to Primera, it was poetic that he would start what is likely to be his final season back at his former club Villarreal. Coming off the bench with his team already well-beaten, Cazorla was given a hero’s welcome, as he is likely to receive at stadiums across Spain this season. Surprise of the week Atlético Madrid had never lost an opening game of the…

Michelle Akers And USWNT 85ers Launch Collection With The Realest

Michelle Akers And USWNT 85ers Launch Collection With The Realest

The post Michelle Akers And USWNT 85ers Launch Collection With The Realest appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The 85ers Card. The Realest. 2025. https://the85ers.therealest.com The 85ers LLC. The Realest. Forty years ago, the first U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team took the field with little fanfare. Wearing men’s jerseys with hand-sewn patches, the 17 women who represented the U.S. in 1985 had no blueprint, no resources, and no guarantees their efforts would even be remembered. Today, those same trailblazers are rewriting history with the launch of The 85ers LLC — a first-of-its-kind, athlete-owned company designed to preserve their legacy, tell their stories, and create opportunities for the next generation of women athletes. For FIFA Female Player of the Century, Michelle Akers, a true pioneer of the game, this project has been decades in the making. ‘Over the years, I kept asking myself, where are my 85ers in all of this?” Akers recalls. “Our stories are valuable, both individually and collectively. We wanted to build something where we own our stories in perpetuity, while connecting the past, present, and future.” Akers reflects, “For too long, our history wasn’t documented. We were there, we laid the foundation, but it often felt like we were invisible. This is about reclaiming that space and saying, we were here, and what we did matters.” 85ers USWNT Collection With The Realest Soccer: FIFA World Cup: USA Michelle Akers (10) victorious with fans after winning Group Stage match vs North Korea at Foxboro Stadium.

Crypto Bleeds Ahead of Powell's Jackson Hole Speech — Eight Reasons Traders Are Nervous

Crypto Bleeds Ahead of Powell's Jackson Hole Speech — Eight Reasons Traders Are Nervous

Cryptocurrencies and related stocks extended losses Tuesday as traders braced for the release of the Fed's release of the FOMC minutes on Wednesday and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech on Friday.Bitcoin dropped 3.2% in the past 24 hours to slip below $114,000, while ether fell 5.3% to under $4,200. XRP tumbled 6.2%, Cardano's ADA slid 8% and the broader crypto market was down 3.2%. Shares of crypto-related companies, such as bitcoin miners, crypto exchanges and digital asset treasury firms suffered even bigger losses, with MARA, COIN and MSTR closing today's regular session down 5.72%, 5.82% and 7.43%, respectively.By contrast, in general, U.S. equities suffered less: the Dow ended flat, the S&P 500 fell 0.59%, and the Nasdaq slid 1.46%. The disparity underscores how digital assets, which rely heavily on cheap liquidity, are more exposed to shifts in rate expectations than traditional stocks.Investors now face a pivotal calendar. On Aug. 20 at 2 p.m. ET, the Fed will release minutes from the FOMC meeting held July 29–30, offering insight into policymakers’ tariff and inflation debates. From Aug. 21–23, central bankers gather for the Jackson Hole symposium, with Powell’s keynote set for Aug. 22 at 10 a.m. ET. Together, the minutes and Powell’s speech could define market expectations for the September policy meeting.Tariffs’ Delayed BiteMany companies have absorbed tariff costs to protect market share, but analysts warn they cannot do so indefinitely. Once passed on to consumers, these costs could drive prices higher and force the Fed to wait before cutting.Sticky Inflation DataDespite some cooling, inflation gauges remain elevated. The producer price index, a key wholesale measure, has been hotter than forecast, suggesting persistent pressures that complicate any case for aggressive easing.Corporate LimitsU.S. executives have signaled they will eventually be forced to shift tariff costs downstream. If that happens, consumer inflation could accelerate in the coming months, making a September cut seem premature.Mixed Economic SignalsThe U.S. economy shows both slowing job growth and resilient consumer demand. This uneven picture could encourage Powell to argue for patience until the Fed has clearer evidence that growth can withstand tariff-driven costs.Policy UncertaintyTariffs intersect with fiscal and trade policies in unpredictable ways. That complexity increases the risk of missteps, making a hawkish tone at Jackson Hole more likely.Lessons From HistoryThe tariff shocks of 2018–2019 produced delayed but meaningful inflation, prompting Fed caution. Powell may draw on that precedent to justify holding back this time.Forward-Looking IndicatorsThe upcoming release of fresh economic data, including Thursday’s release of preliminary August data on manufacturing and services activity, could show tariff-related cost pressures building. Powell could point to these as another reason for prudence.Internal DivisionsMinutes from the July FOMC meeting may reveal a split inside the Fed. With hawks focused on inflation and doves emphasizing jobs, Powell may stress the need for consensus, which often favors waiting.For crypto, the stakes are clear. Higher-for-longer rates curb the liquidity that fuels speculative rallies, raising financing costs for miners and weighing on exchange activity. If Powell signals caution, the sell-off in tokens and crypto-linked equities could deepen. A dovish surprise, however, might offer the spark for a rebound.

ETH Drops 5.77% Amid Coldware’s Scalable RWA Ecosystem Attracting New Buyers

ETH Drops 5.77% Amid Coldware’s Scalable RWA Ecosystem Attracting New Buyers

The post ETH Drops 5.77% Amid Coldware’s Scalable RWA Ecosystem Attracting New Buyers appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Table of contents 1. Investors Diversify Beyond Ethereum 2. Conclusion Show more Ethereum (ETH) has seen a sharp 5.77% decline as part of the wider crypto market pullback following recent highs. ETH now trades near $4,350 after nearly touching its all-time high of $4,900. Analysts point to $1.7 billion in long futures liquidations as leverage unwound across the sector. Despite this correction, Ethereum’s role in powering decentralized finance (DeFi) and stablecoins remains strong, with J.P. Morgan recently highlighting ETH as the most direct way to gain exposure to the booming $264 billion stablecoin market. While Ethereum undergoes profit-taking, Coldware (COLD) has become a magnet for investors seeking utility-rich ecosystems. The project’s Real World Asset (RWA) integration and scalable blockchain infrastructure are attracting newcomers looking for growth opportunities not tied to ETH’s current market cycle. Coldware’s vision includes Web3 mobile devices, secure hardware integration, and financial tools built for real-world adoption — positioning it as more than just another speculative presale. RWA Integration and Real Adoption Coldware’s RWA ecosystem is particularly appealing to new buyers as it promises to bridge digital assets with tangible economic value. By supporting tokenization of physical and financial assets, Coldware opens the door for mainstream businesses to leverage blockchain without relying on high Ethereum gas fees or complex Layer-2 solutions. This practical angle has allowed Coldware (COLD) to attract investors who believe RWA utility could drive the next wave of crypto mass adoption. Investors Diversify Beyond Ethereum For many traders, Coldware (COLD) offers a chance to diversify portfolios while Ethereum consolidates. ETH’s dominance and utility remain undeniable, but fresh capital is flowing toward scalable alternatives. Coldware’s combination of RWA, Web3 hardware, and investor-friendly tokenomics positions it as a credible competitor during a period when investors are eager for early-stage plays with 100X potential. Conclusion Ethereum’s (ETH)…
