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.

CFTC Adopts Nasdaq Tool to Hunt Insider Trading in Crypto

CFTC Adopts Nasdaq Tool to Hunt Insider Trading in Crypto

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has unveiled a major upgrade to its market oversight systems, adopting Nasdaq’s advanced Market Surveillance platform to better detect fraud, insider trading, and manipulation across derivatives and digital asset markets. The system went live on August 27, 2025, under the leadership of Acting Chair Caroline D. Pham, and replaces the CFTC’s legacy 1990s-era monitoring infrastructure. CFTC to Become a ‘21st Century Regulator’ With Nasdaq Market Surveillance The upgrade arrives at a pivotal moment for U.S. regulators as Congress weighs the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act, which could expand the CFTC’s jurisdiction over spot digital asset markets. In announcing the launch, Pham said the technology marks a major step toward turning the CFTC into a “21st century regulator.” “As our markets continue to evolve and integrate new technology, it’s critical that the CFTC stays ahead of the curve,” Pham said. Pham added that “Nasdaq Market Surveillance will, for the first time, provide the CFTC with automated alerts and cross-market analytics that will better protect our markets from fraud, manipulation and abuse. This will allow our staff to identify unusual or disruptive trading activity more efficiently and take action more quickly.” The move comes as the CFTC faces mounting pressure to strengthen its oversight of the fast-growing digital asset sector. The agency, traditionally responsible for derivatives tied to commodities, currencies, and fixed income, has taken on a larger role in policing crypto markets amid efforts in Washington to close regulatory gaps. A recent White House report urged Congress to grant the CFTC explicit authority over spot markets for non-security digital assets, underscoring the need for modern surveillance tools. Notaby, Nasdaq Market Surveillance is already deployed by more than 50 exchanges and 20 international regulators, making it the most widely used surveillance technology in global markets. The platform provides regulators with integrated monitoring across asset classes, real-time data analysis, and automated alerts capable of flagging potential insider trading, wash trading, and other market abuses. Its scalable architecture enables regulators to handle periods of extreme volatility, while access to detailed order book data allows for granular trade-by-trade scrutiny. Tal Cohen, President at Nasdaq, said the partnership with the CFTC shows the importance of advanced monitoring tools in a rapidly evolving market. “Today’s financial markets demand surveillance technology that can adapt to rapid regulatory evolution and emerging asset classes,” he said. “We’re proud to partner with the CFTC and support their mission to promote the integrity, resilience, and vibrancy of U.S. derivatives markets.” At the same time, concerns over manipulation in crypto markets are mounting. A recent Chainalysis report estimated that wash trading on select blockchain networks accounted for as much as $2.57 billion in volume, with a small number of actors driving the bulk of activity.Source: Chainalysis Pump-and-dump schemes have also surged, fueled by meme coins and low-cost trading on new blockchains. Researchers warned that such activity is often tied to pump-and-dump schemes, where token creators inflate volumes to lure investors before selling off holdings. The urgency for stronger surveillance has also been highlighted by the speed of illicit activity. A Global Ledger study found that crypto criminals were able to move stolen funds within four seconds of an attack, far outpacing the detection systems of major exchanges. In some cases, laundering was completed in under three minutes, well before public disclosures were made. U.S. Regulators Push Forward on Crypto Oversight Amid Rising Hacks The U.S. Treasury Department and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are accelerating efforts to build new safeguards for digital assets, as crypto-related crime continues to outpace detection systems. On August 19, the Treasury opened a 60-day public comment period under the recently enacted GENIUS Act, seeking input on tools such as artificial intelligence, blockchain monitoring, digital identity verification, and APIs to help financial institutions combat money laundering. The initiative follows a surge in crypto crime, with $3 billion stolen across 119 incidents in the first half of 2025 alone. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the GENIUS Act “essential” to securing U.S. digital asset leadership and expanding regulated dollar-based stablecoins globally. Recent data highlights the challenge regulators face. According to blockchain analytics firm Global Ledger, hackers can move stolen funds in as little as four seconds, roughly 75 times faster than exchange alert systems respond.Source: Global Ledger In over two-thirds of cases, assets were transferred before the incidents became public, with some laundered in under three minutes. Parallel to the Treasury’s efforts, the CFTC has launched a “crypto sprint” to advance spot crypto regulation. Acting Chair Caroline Pham said the four-phase initiative, running alongside the SEC’s Project Crypto, aims to establish immediate federal-level trading of digital assets. Public comments are due by October 20, with final rules expected in the program’s concluding phase. The effort builds on an August 5 proposal to allow spot crypto trading on federally registered exchanges, part of recommendations from the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. The CFTC, however, faces uncertainty at the leadership level. Commissioner Kristin Johnson will step down September 3, leaving Pham as the sole member of the normally five-person agency. Pham is also expected to exit once President Trump’s nominee Brian Quintenz is confirmed, with reports linking her to crypto payments firm MoonPay

New laws threatens $4b market

New laws threatens $4b market

The post New laws threatens $4b market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Just how important is the Indian market to online gambling titan Flutter? The world’s largest online betting firm, Flutter Entertainment Plc (NASDAQ: FLUT), officially declared on Monday that it had been forced to withdraw its real-money gaming (RMG) subsidiary ‘Junglee Games’ from the Indian iGaming market. The move was triggered as a result of new laws passed last week that banned the highly popular gambling format. In a press statement released on Monday, Flutter confirmed that it had wrapped up its Indian operations on Friday, August 22, the same day the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill was granted Presidential assent. Reacting to the news of the rule changes, Flutter’s CEO, Peter Jackson, was pushed to admit he was “extremely disappointed” with the decision before going on to warn, “We believe this change will drive customers to the unregulated market, offering limited consumer protections and providing no contribution to the local economy.” Incidentally, the news from India comes just days after Flutter’s shares rose following the announcement that its FanDuel subsidiary had penned a deal with CME Group (NASDAQ: CME) to enter the lucrative predictions market in the U.S. Contrastingly, the unexpected turn of events in India could dampen Flutter’s overall global growth predictions, particularly as Junglee was forecast to deliver $200 million in revenue and $50 million in adjusted EBITDA in 2025. However, the move to ban RMGs is a devastating blow to Junglee, which was once the nation’s most popular rummy platform, hosting over 100 million regular users. Legislative rollback rocks India’s thriving RMG sector Nevertheless, Flutter’s Junglee is certainly not the only gaming studio to be affected, with countless firms reeling from the abrupt changes made by the nation’s lawmakers. Popular platforms, including those by Dream11, MPL, and Probo, were also required to shut down their…

China Leverages Crypto Control Over Trump Family Wealth

China Leverages Crypto Control Over Trump Family Wealth

The post China Leverages Crypto Control Over Trump Family Wealth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Opinion by: Joshua Chu, co-chair of the Hong Kong Web3 Association China’s control over cryptocurrency liquidity in Hong Kong gives it unprecedented power over the Trump family’s crypto wealth. This leverage lets Beijing influence the family’s financial fate — and potentially US-China relations — through market moves. As Eric Trump visits Hong Kong, this crypto-political nexus signals a new era of global power. Cryptocurrency is no longer seen as just the new financial innovation around the block. Virtual assets have become powerful geopolitical instruments determining the fates of nations.  As Imran Khalid said, “China, by contrast [to the US], has played the long game. It chose dialogue over drama, and principle over provocation.”  China’s rise and growing control and dominance over the Web3 economy were similarly marked by its carefully orchestrated flexible liquidity control structure through a parallel hedge in Hong Kong. When considering this level of control, combined with the Trump family’s unprecedented and increasing reliance on digital assets for wealth, it reveals a subtle yet decisive form of influence that Beijing can wield.  Trump family’s crypto wealth surge US President Donald Trump attacked Bitcoin (BTC) during his first presidency, saying it’s “not money” and “based on thin air.” This position had made an obvious U-turn by 2025. In a Fox News interview with Donald Trump Jr., he revealed that the family “didn’t have a choice” but to get into crypto after banks refused to do business with them after the Jan. 6 “nonsense.” As a politically exposed person (PEP), this was a telling turnaround.  Banks and financial institutions are usually stricter when dealing with PEPs because their prominent positions usually mean they become targets for bribery and corruption, yielding a higher risk of financial crime entanglement with illicit money laundering.  Since taking the plunge into crypto, the Trump…

Polygon Labs CEO Boiron: memecoin boom needs curation, not censorship

Polygon Labs CEO Boiron: memecoin boom needs curation, not censorship

The post Polygon Labs CEO Boiron: memecoin boom needs curation, not censorship appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron continues to push back against investors’ and traders’ fixation on memecoins. In an interview with crypto.news, Boiron makes the case that the industry is rewarding volume over substance. Summary Polygon CEO Marc Boiron says memecoins are not the problem; the lack of reliable discovery tools is. He calls for a decentralized “Google for crypto” to curate tokens by liquidity, audits, usage, and community strength. Polygon is focused on payments, stablecoins, and real-world assets, not memecoins,as part of its long-term strategy. Commenting on Base creator Jesse Pollak’s praise for meme-driven onboarding, Boiron says he has no issue with memecoins themselves, rather the lack of reliable discovery is a problem. With more than a million tokens launched and only a few breaking through, he warns the industry is diverting capital and attention away from real infrastructure that is more deserving of capital. His remedy is curation, not censorship: a decentralized “Google for crypto” that indexes everything while elevating tokens meeting transparent, on-chain criteria, such as liquidity, audits, usage, authentic communities, and more. Meanwhile, Polygon is prioritizing what it believes to be superior sectors of the crypto industry. This includes payments, stablecoins, and real-world assets and not a memecoin economy. “Polygon is not trying to be everything to everyone,” he said in the interview. In the Q&A below, we challenge Boiron on whether the memecoin boom helps or harms the crypto industry, how discovery works without gatekeepers, and Polygon’s plans to reward substance over saturation. crypto.news: Base’s Jesse Pollak has praised memecoins for sparking a “Cambrian explosion” of on-chain experiments and onboarding “millions more people” into crypto. In contrast, you’ve warned that the industry is overindulging in memecoins and prioritizing quantity over quality. Does this mean you see the current memecoin boom as doing more harm than good,…
