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.

Elon Musk’s Lawyer to Lead First Dogecoin Treasury Company

Elon Musk’s Lawyer to Lead First Dogecoin Treasury Company

The post Elon Musk’s Lawyer to Lead First Dogecoin Treasury Company appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CleanCore shares are down 50% today, while DOGE is flat. More than four years after Elon Musk topped DOGE on Saturday Night Live, the billionaire’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, is taking over a sanitation company to create the first Dogecoin digital asset treasury (DAT). CleanCore Solutions announced today that Spiro will immediately become Chairman of its Board of Directors, and unveiled a $175 million private placement sponsored by the Dogecoin Foundation and its official commercial arm, the House of Doge. Staying true to its nature as a meme, the company aims to raise $175,000,420 prior to fees and expenses. It should be noted that Musk is not affiliated with the DAT directly, and that Spiro is a popular personal attorney amongst high-net-worth celebrities. While the idea of Elon Musk’s lawyer leading the first official DOGE DAT is sure to turn heads, the market doesn’t seem as keen on the news, with DOGE up half a percent on the day, while CleanCore stock (ticker: ZONE) is down 50%. ZONE Chart – TradingView The offering is expected to close later this week, according to the release. The Dogecoin Foundation’s director, Timothy Stebbing, is set to join Spiro on the board and the House of Doge’s CEO, Marco Margiotta, will step in as the company’s chief investment officer (CIO). “By anchoring our treasury with Dogecoin, in partnership with the Dogecoin Foundation and House of Doge, we’re adopting a forward-looking reserve strategy while proving how public companies can embrace bold change. This is a watershed moment for both CleanCore and the broader Dogecoin community, to whom we owe much thanks, and we’re proud to help set the standard for what a foundation-backed digital treasury can look like,” said CleanCore’s CEO, Clayton Adams. Elon’s Fascination with DOGE Elon Musk’s fascination with DOGE stems back to 2021,…

Reflect raises $3.75M to build yield-bearing stablecoin infra on Solana

Reflect raises $3.75M to build yield-bearing stablecoin infra on Solana

The post Reflect raises $3.75M to build yield-bearing stablecoin infra on Solana appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the Lightspeed newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Reflect Money announced today a $3.75 million seed round led by a16z crypto’s CSX accelerator, with participation from Solana Ventures, Equilibrium, BigBrain Holdings and Colosseum.  Reflect won Grand Champion in Colosseum’s 2024 Solana Radar hackathon. The new capital will fund a “software-as-a-stablecoin” infrastructure that lets any app issue yield-bearing dollars without lockups or operational complexity, the team told Blockworks. Reflect’s pitch is straightforward: Idle stablecoin balances should be put into productive DeFi yield strategies. “Every idle asset represents dead capital…which should be earning while you sleep, while you trade, while it sits in your wallet,” Reflect CEO Nico James said. Reflect protocol tokenizes onchain DeFi strategies — delta-neutral basis trades, lending, etc. — then turns deposited USDC balances into a yield-bearing “USDC+” while remaining fully liquid. Stablecoins will be non-custodial and be minted and redeemed at will.  Think Morpho white-label vaults meet M^0’s stablecoin-as-a-service. Or just Ethena. DeFi strategies are executed by smart contracts and are limited to the team’s own curated strategies for now. Curated DeFi strategies will be open to developers subject to governance approval, the team told me. In short, Reflect empowers any developer to become its own neobank. As part of risk management, each strategy is backed by an autonomous, onchain insurance liquidity pool.  This “Global Insurance” pool will leverage Jito restaked assets for liquidity, an approach described as akin to FSCS-like insurance for traditional banks. The insurance pool also allows for slippage-free, MEV-free and feeless rebalancing across strategies. Reflect is targeting an early-September mainnet launch that will support USDC on Solana. “Stablecoins are a ~$280 billion market earning zero yield,” James said. “We’re about to change that.”  If it works, “idle dollars” on Solana might become an endangered species.

Trump Military Takeover Of LA Violated Federal Law, Court Rules

Trump Military Takeover Of LA Violated Federal Law, Court Rules

The post Trump Military Takeover Of LA Violated Federal Law, Court Rules appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline President Donald Trump violated federal law when he sent National Guard troops to Los Angeles earlier this year and had them perform law enforcement duties, a federal judge ruled Tuesday, a decision that could hamstring Trump’s ability to send the military into more Democratic-led cities, as Trump threatens to send troops into Chicago next. California National Guard members stand guard at the Wilshire Federal Building on June 13 in Los Angeles, California. Getty Images Key Facts Judge Charles Breyer ruled Trump deploying troops to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act (PCA), a 19th-century law that broadly prohibits the federal government from using federal troops to participate in domestic civil law enforcement. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, sued the Trump administration over it sending the National Guard to the city in response to protests against the White House’s immigration agenda, arguing that the deployment violated the law because troops played a “direct, active role in civilian law enforcement activities.” Breyer agreed, ruling the “record is replete with evidence” of National Guard troops unlawfully performing law enforcement activities—such as by setting up perimeters and performing crowd control—and arguing the Trump administration “knowingly” violated the PCA by directing members of the military to perform unlawful acts. The judge also struck down the Trump administration’s argument that California couldn’t bring a civil lawsuit under the PCA, because it’s a criminal statute, with Breyer ruling it was “illogical” to think Congress passed the law intending for it to only be able to be enforced “by the same federal government that would have ordered the troops to engage in domestic law enforcement.” Breyer’s ruling blocks national guard troops in California from engaging in law enforcement activities—such as “engaging in arrests, apprehensions, searches, seizures, security patrols, traffic control, crowd control, riot control, evidence collection,…

Jack Ma-Linked Yunfeng Buys 10,000 ETH for $44M – Is This Hong Kong’s Big Ethereum Bet?

Jack Ma-Linked Yunfeng Buys 10,000 ETH for $44M – Is This Hong Kong’s Big Ethereum Bet?

Yunfeng Financial Group, a Hong Kong-listed financial services firm with close ties to Alibaba founder Jack Ma, has purchased 10,000 ETH worth about $44 million, marking one of the largest Ethereum acquisitions by a publicly traded company in Asia this year. The purchase, disclosed in a voluntary filing on Tuesday, was funded entirely from Yunfeng’s internal cash reserves. The company said the move reflects its strategic expansion into Web3, real-world assets (RWAs), digital currencies, and artificial intelligence. ETH will be booked as an investment on Yunfeng’s balance sheet and will serve as part of its reserve assets. Corporate Ethereum Reserves Climb to $19B as Yunfeng Enters the Market The filing emphasized that the acquisition is aligned with Yunfeng’s long-term strategy. The company said Ethereum’s inclusion in its treasury would support tokenization activities for RWAs, provide infrastructure for Web3 innovation, and enhance its ability to integrate financial services with emerging technology. The group also hinted at exploring potential applications for ETH in its insurance business and broader fintech offerings. Yunfeng stressed that it would continue to monitor market developments and regulatory changes before expanding its holdings further. The board cautioned that cryptocurrency remains highly volatile and warned shareholders to exercise care when trading its stock. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the local securities regulator also distanced themselves from the contents of the filing, noting that they take “no responsibility” for its accuracy or completeness. The acquisition places Yunfeng alongside a growing group of corporate and institutional entities treating ETH as a strategic reserve. According to Strategic ETH Reserve (SER) data, structured entities now hold 4.44 million ETH valued at around $19 billion, representing 3.67% of Ethereum’s total supply. The largest single holder is Bitmine Immersion Tech, which controls 1.8 million ETH worth roughly $7.7 billion, accounting for more than 40% of all SER reserves. Other major entities include SharpLink Gaming with 797,700 ETH ($3.4 billion), The Ether Machine with 345,400 ETH ($1.5 billion), and the Ethereum Foundation with 231,600 ETH ($1 billion). Coinbase also maintains 136,800 ETH ($588 million), largely tied to customer balances and staking operations. Analysts warn that sustained redemptions could temporarily weigh on prices, even as long-term accumulation by corporations like Yunfeng suggests growing confidence in Ethereum as an institutional-grade asset. The concentration of reserves also remains a key market factor. Bitmine and SharpLink together account for over 58% of all ETH held by SER entities, raising questions about liquidity risks if these major players adjust their positions. Still, the growing role of regulated companies, ETFs, and corporate treasuries shows Ethereum’s accelerating adoption among institutional investors. Yunfeng’s $44 million move may be small compared with the billions held by global giants, but it carries symbolic weight in Hong Kong, a market positioning itself as a digital asset hub. Japan’s Corporate Crypto Adoption Surges With Multi-Billion-Dollar Treasury Plans While Hong Kong-linked funds are making headlines with Ethereum bets, Japan is quietly building one of the world’s most aggressive corporate crypto adoption waves. A string of Tokyo-listed companies has begun reshaping their balance sheets around Bitcoin and altcoins, showing that Asia’s crypto race is no longer just about retail traders. On August 31, Tokyo-based gaming firm Gumi announced plans to purchase ¥2.5 billion ($17 million) worth of XRP before February 2026. The move, approved by its board, reflects Gumi’s ties to SBI Holdings, Ripple’s closest Japanese partner and largest shareholder. Gumi has also been actively buying Bitcoin, including a $6.5 million acquisition earlier this year, and has even launched a BTC lottery for new shareholders. Executives described the XRP purchase not as speculation but as a “strategic initiative” to expand into financial services. Japan’s corporate push doesn’t end there. Beauty chain Convano has unveiled one of the boldest treasury plans yet, seeking to raise ¥434 billion ($3 billion) to buy 21,000 BTC, equal to 0.1% of Bitcoin’s supply. Its three-phase program targets 2,000 BTC by the end of 2025. Other listed firms are also scaling up their exposure. On August 25, five Japanese companies disclosed new allocations totaling 156.79 BTC. The standout was Metaplanet, which added 103 BTC for $11.7 million, raising its reserves to 18,991 BTC, worth nearly $2 billion. The company, now among the world’s top seven corporate Bitcoin holders, recently secured a place in the FTSE Japan Index, boosting investor confidence despite stock volatility. Meanwhile, Remixpoint Inc. bought 41.5 BTC for $4.6 million, and ANAP Holdings grew its holdings to 1,017 BTC. Smaller players like Agile Media Network and Def Consulting are also joining the trend, while Lib Work, a 3D housing firm, has committed $3.3 million to Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and a foundation for global expansion. These moves align with Tokyo’s policy stance. Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato, speaking at WebX2025, called crypto “a part of diversified investments” and pledged to build an environment that supports adoption without stifling innovation. Japan is also preparing to roll out its first yen-denominated stablecoin this autumn, led by fintech firm JPYC. The token will target international remittances and corporate settlements, potentially tying together the nation’s growing corporate crypto strategies

WordPress AI: Telex Transforms Web Publishing for Everyone

WordPress AI: Telex Transforms Web Publishing for Everyone

BitcoinWorld WordPress AI: Telex Transforms Web Publishing for Everyone The world of technology is abuzz with AI innovations, from powering complex algorithms in decentralized finance to revolutionizing content creation. Now, a familiar name in web development is stepping into the spotlight with its own groundbreaking AI initiative. WordPress, the platform that empowers a vast portion of the internet, has unveiled Telex, an experimental AI development tool poised to transform how we build and interact with websites. What is Telex: The New Frontier of WordPress AI? At the recent WordCamp US 2025 conference in Portland, WordPress CEO Matt Mullenweg introduced Telex, describing it as a “V0 or Lovable” – a nod to popular prompt-based AI coding services. This experimental WordPress AI tool is designed to simplify and accelerate the creation of web content, making advanced development accessible to a broader audience. Mullenweg highlighted how Telex aligns with WordPress’s long-standing mission to democratize publishing, taking tasks that once required deep coding knowledge and making them intuitive for everyone. How This AI Development Tool Simplifies Gutenberg Blocks Creation Telex functions as a sophisticated AI development tool, allowing users to generate complex web elements through simple text prompts. Imagine wanting a dynamic marketing animation or a custom layout for your product page; with Telex, you type your request, and the tool returns a .zip file. This file can then be installed as a plugin directly into your WordPress site or a WordPress Playground instance, enabling rapid deployment. Mullenweg demonstrated how developers could use Telex to craft custom Gutenberg blocks – the modular components that form the backbone of modern WordPress websites. This innovation promises to dramatically reduce the time and technical expertise traditionally required for creating bespoke site elements, fostering a new era of efficiency in content creation. Automattic‘s Vision: Democratizing Web Publishing with AI For years, WordPress, under the stewardship of Automattic, has championed the mission of democratizing publishing. Matt Mullenweg reiterated this core philosophy, emphasizing AI’s potential to further break down barriers in content creation. “Taking things that were difficult to do, that required knowledge of coding or anything else, and made it accessible to people,” Mullenweg stated, highlighting how AI aligns perfectly with this goal. This commitment extends to making web publishing accessible in every language, at low cost, and through an open-source framework where users retain ownership of their content and tools. The launch of Telex is a testament to Automattic‘s strategic investment in AI, following the formation of a dedicated AI team earlier this year to guide the development of products aligned with the company’s long-term vision. Navigating the Future: Challenges and Potential of WordPress AI as an AI Development Tool While Telex represents a significant leap forward, Automattic openly labels it as “experimental.” Early testers have reported that this nascent AI development tool still requires refinement, with some projects failing or needing additional manual work. Mullenweg, however, remains cautiously optimistic, acknowledging the “scary” aspects of AI hype but asserting that at its core, “there is a seed of something, which is so enabling.” He sees an “incredibly exciting time to be building for WordPress.” Beyond Telex, Mullenweg also showcased other AI initiatives, including a simple WordPress AI help assistant built during Contributor Day and his appreciation for Perplexity’s Comet, an AI browser that allows interaction with WordPress from its interface. These diverse experiments underscore Automattic’s comprehensive approach to integrating AI across its ecosystem. The introduction of Telex by WordPress marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of web creation. By leveraging AI to simplify complex development tasks, WordPress is not just keeping pace with technological advancements but actively shaping the future of digital content. As this experimental AI development tool matures, it holds the promise of empowering millions more to bring their ideas to life online, further solidifying WordPress’s legacy as a platform for accessible and open web publishing. The journey ahead will undoubtedly involve overcoming technical hurdles, but the vision of a truly democratized web, powered by intelligent tools, is clearer than ever. To learn more about the latest AI market trends, explore our article on key developments shaping AI features and institutional adoption.

Mastercard and the Future of Payments with Cryptocurrencies

Mastercard and the Future of Payments with Cryptocurrencies

The post Mastercard and the Future of Payments with Cryptocurrencies appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In the global financial landscape, Mastercard remains a key player in the innovation of payment systems. Christian Rau, head of the crypto sector in Europe, recently outlined the company’s stance on cryptocurrencies. According to Rau, Mastercard does not view crypto as a revolution set to overturn the foundations of the financial system, but rather as a payment technology with interesting potential. This pragmatic vision is reflected in the strategy adopted by the company, which aims to integrate crypto into its services while always ensuring secure and compliant payments. Mastercard, in fact, sees crypto as an opportunity to improve transaction efficiency, without losing sight of the need to protect users and institutions. Mastercard: stablecoin and cross-border payments A central point in Rau’s analysis concerns stablecoin, digital assets pegged to the value of traditional currencies like the dollar or euro. Mastercard recognizes that stablecoin can represent a significant step forward in cross-border payments, reducing the time and cost of international transactions. The speed and transparency offered by these digital solutions could greatly simplify exchanges between businesses and consumers from different countries. Despite the advantages, Rau emphasizes that stablecoins are not able to completely replace the traditional protections offered by established payment systems. Mastercard remains vigilant in ensuring that every innovation is accompanied by adequate security and compliance measures, essential elements for maintaining user trust and system stability. Strategy and Innovation: Blockchain in the Future of Mastercard? Another topic addressed by Christian Rau concerns the possibility that Mastercard might develop its own blockchain. At the moment, the company has not announced any public plans in this direction. However, Rau does not rule out that in the future this option might be considered, should it prove useful for further improving the efficiency and security of payments. Mastercard’s approach is characterized by its prudence: the…
