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.

the new hedge fund on the Bitcoin revolution

The post the new hedge fund on the Bitcoin revolution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A New Player in the World of Hedge Funds Black Pill Capital has officially announced its debut in the financial landscape, bringing a breath of fresh air to the alternative investment sector. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, the fund caters exclusively to accredited investors, offering an innovative investment strategy centered around the adoption of bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset. In a context where traditional finance often moves along well-defined tracks, Black Pill Capital positions itself as a pioneer in a still largely unexplored territory. A Vision Beyond Traditional Finance According to Jeff Grant, Chief Executive Officer of Black Pill Capital, most hedge funds operate in environments where the variables are known and risks can be managed with the analyst’s approach. However, Grant emphasizes how true innovation arises in contexts where the unknowns are numerous and often unfamiliar: “This is not the domain of the Analyst. This is the domain of the Innovator. Black Pill Capital is where institutional expertise meets entrepreneurial innovation.” A team that combines experience and entrepreneurial spirit Unlike traditional funds, led exclusively by finance veterans, Black Pill Capital stands out for a founding team that blends institutional discipline with entrepreneurial insight. This combination allows the fund to identify asymmetric opportunities in companies adopting bitcoin as a treasury asset, a trend that is revolutionizing the way businesses protect and enhance their value globally. The Pillars of the Black Pill Capital Strategy Innovation-driven perspective: the fund is created by visionaries who operate outside the traditional frameworks of finance, driven as much by creative courage as by analysis. Focus on treasury in bitcoin: Black Pill Capital invests in companies that use capital markets to incorporate bitcoin into their balance sheets, going far beyond simple operational liquidity management. Conviction of an early adopter: the fund’s leadership invests alongside clients, demonstrating…

EU delays fining Google over its adtech business while awaiting U.S. cuts to tariffs on European cars

EU delays fining Google over its adtech business while awaiting U.S. cuts to tariffs on European cars

The EU postponed the long-anticipated financial penalty for Alphabet’s Google while awaiting the decision of the U.S. government on European car duties.  European Union regulators have postponed the antitrust fine that was expected to be imposed on Alphabet’s Google due to concerns about the United States’ tariff actions. The European Union’s fine against Alphabet’s Google has been delayed Three sources reported that the European Commission, which is responsible for antitrust enforcement, has chosen not to move forward with its penalty against Google. The Commission has decided to stay the fine while waiting on the United States to follow through on its promised reduction of tariffs on European cars. Car duties have been one of the most debated issues in the trade talks between the two sides. Brussels has so far been pushing for the duties to be eased in exchange for concessions on industrial goods. Just last week, the Commission proposed eliminating tariffs on imported U.S. industrial goods. It now expects Washington to announce a cut in tariffs on European cars, reducing duties from 27.5% to 15%. The timing of the delayed fine has raised questions about whether the EU’s competition enforcement is being used as a bargaining chip in economic talks. According to one of the sources, the postponement is not expected to exceed a month. The three sources named the EU’s Trade Commissioner, Maros Sefcovic, who reportedly sought clarifications on the antitrust decision taken by EU competition chief Teresa Ribera, as a factor in the delay. The postponement was announced days after Google was told to expect the fine announcement on Monday. Independence of enforcement The potential link between the EU’s antitrust enforcement to trade talks with the United States has drawn criticism. Germany’s Monopolies Commission, an independent advisory body, stated that the delay sets a worrying precedent. Tomaso Duso, the chairman of the Commission, warned against letting the protection of competition become a “pawn of the Trump administration” in a statement. President Donald Trump has previously threatened retaliation against European authorities if they move too aggressively against American tech companies. The Commission’s decision to delay the fine is being viewed by some analysts as a strategic step to avoid triggering tensions during sensitive trade negotiations. People familiar with the matter also said the fine would be modest compared with earlier penalties levied on the company. The European Commission spokesperson Arianna Podesta told reporters at a daily briefing that the Google investigation is still ongoing and declined to provide further details. Google itself also hasn’t commented on the matter. The fine is a result of a four-year investigation into Google’s advertising technology practices, which started after a complaint from the European Publishers Council. Google has been accused of unfairly favoring its own services over those of rivals in the online advertising market. The eventual decision of the U.S. government concerning the duties on the automotive sector is important as the sector employs millions across the bloc and is central to the economies of Germany, France, and Italy. The fine against Google is symbolically important, but it does not carry the same economic weight as the duties. It is expected that once trade talks are concluded, the Commission will proceed with its decision. Your crypto news deserves attention - KEY Difference Wire puts you on 250+ top sites

Venus Protocol User Loses $13.5M in Phishing Attack

Venus Protocol User Loses $13.5M in Phishing Attack

The post Venus Protocol User Loses $13.5M in Phishing Attack appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Update Sept. 2, 11:57  am UTC. This article has been updated to include a correction from PeckShield. A decentralized finance (DeFi) trader lost $13.5 million in crypto after falling victim to a phishing scam, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield.  PeckShield initially reported on Tuesday that a user of the DeFi lending platform Venus Protocol saw crypto assets worth $27 million disappear in a phishing attack.  However, the investigation firm later corrected the amount to $13.5 million, saying they did not consider the user’s debt position in their initial estimate. A phishing attack is a type of scam where attackers trick victims into granting malicious permissions or revealing sensitive information by pretending to be a legitimate source. In this incident, the user approved a malicious transaction, allowing the attacker to drain stablecoins and wrapped assets from its balance.  Source: PeckShield Venus Protocol pauses protocol to investigate Venus Protocol’s official social media account responded to community concerns in an X thread, confirming there was no flaw in its smart contracts.  When a user asked if this was due to the user’s mistake, Venus said it was likely the case. However, Venus said that as a precautionary measure, it would pause the protocol to conduct security reviews.  “Right now, yes, that appears to be the case. We will keep everyone updated as we investigate,” Venus Protocol wrote. “Protocol is paused while security reviews are underway.” Related: Criminals are ‘vibe hacking’ with AI at unprecedented levels: Anthropic Hackers ramp up attacks as September starts The recent phishing attack adds to a list of criminal efforts to steal crypto at the start of September.

U.S. SEC, CFTC Combine Forces to Clear Registered Firms' Trading of Spot Crypto

U.S. SEC, CFTC Combine Forces to Clear Registered Firms' Trading of Spot Crypto

Certain crypto assets can change hands with a stamp of approval from both of the U.S. markets regulators, according to a joint statement from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which said that today's registered trading platforms can do that business with the agencies' blessing.In a stark shift from the hesitant, risk-averse stance of the previous administration, the regulators appointed by President Donald Trump — an avowed advocate of the industry and a growing crypto magnate though his family's business operations — have quickly cleared a wide path for digital assets to get into the existing financial regulator system.The SEC, until last year run by crypto skeptic Gary Gensler, and the CFTC "are coordinating efforts to facilitate the trading of certain spot crypto asset products on registered exchanges," according to the Tuesday statement. Under the SEC's "Project Crypto" and the CFTC's ongoing "crypto sprint," their leaders are pushing to meet Trump's orders to set up the U.S. as the world's leading crypto hub.The agencies argue their view that CFTC-registered designated contract markets (DCMs), foreign board of trade (FBOTs) and SEC-registered national securities exchanges (NSEs) "are not prohibited from facilitating the trading of certain spot crypto asset products." The SEC and CFTC are inviting such entities to contact staff to figure out how to move forward."Market participants should have the freedom to choose where they trade spot crypto assets," said SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, in a statement.His counterpart at the CFTC, Acting Chairman Caroline Pham, called the joint statement "the latest demonstration of our mutual objective of supporting growth and development in these markets, but it will not be the last.”The Tuesday statement didn't detail specific cryptocurrencies beyond citing "certain crypto assets."The markets watchdogs said they "are prepared to engage with trading venues about applying fair and orderly market principles as they seek to operate markets for participants to trade spot crypto asset products."As the agencies seek to use existing regulations and authorities to open the financial system to crypto, Congress has been working on a sweeping set of crypto market rules that the industry is counting on to fully establish it in the U.S. It's unclear, though, how long the lawmakers might take getting that legislation to Trump's desk.One of the main holes in previous U.S. oversight of crypto has been the CFTC's lack of authority to fully regulate firms trading on the crypto commodity spot market — where actual assets are directly changing hands.Read More: Trump's SEC Chair Says Agency Is 'Mobilizing' to Update Custody, Other Guidance
