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.

$200B Flow Coming for Bitcoin (BTC): Xapo Bank

$200B Flow Coming for Bitcoin (BTC): Xapo Bank

The post $200B Flow Coming for Bitcoin (BTC): Xapo Bank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The “great wealth transfer” is underway, and it could be one of the biggest drivers of crypto adoption in history, crypto friendly Xapo Bank said in a report Wednesday. Over the next decade, trillions of dollars will move from baby boomers to younger heirs. In the U.S. alone, an estimated $10.6 trillion will change hands by 2030, with trillions more in Europe and Asia, the report said. Unlike their parents, these heirs are far more inclined toward digital assets, setting the stage for bitcoin to become a core component of inherited wealth. Xapo Bank analysts noted that between $160 billion and $225 billion could flow into bitcoin over the next two decades, as a result of this generational shift, translating into an additional $20 million to $28 million in daily demand. Bitcoin’s scarcity, decentralization and potential as an inflation hedge make it an attractive store of value for this next generation, the report noted. Still, inheriting crypto is more complicated than inheriting a brokerage account. Keys can be lost, unregulated exchanges remain risky, and legal frameworks are inconsistent. The Gibraltar-based firm’s ‘Bitcoin Beneficiaries’ program is designed to tackle inheritance challenges head-on, offering secure custody, legally recognized transfer mechanisms and regulatory clarity for heirs. The bank says its wealthiest clients are already adopting the service, signaling that sophisticated holders see inheritance planning as essential to protecting their digital legacies. For bitcoin holders, securing an inheritance strategy is no longer optional, it’s the only way to ensure their assets survive the generational handoff, the report added.

APAC Bitcoin Mining Goes Green Despite China Underground Activity

APAC Bitcoin Mining Goes Green Despite China Underground Activity

The post APAC Bitcoin Mining Goes Green Despite China Underground Activity appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin mining remains the backbone of the crypto economy. In the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, abundant hydropower, gas reserves, and surplus electricity create opportunities and friction. The region offers “green hash” potential yet faces high electricity costs and fragmented rules. For global investors, APAC bitcoin miners now sit at the center of debates over energy use, transparency, and capital access. APAC Bitcoin Mining Overview Latest Update – In July 2025, Bitdeer expanded hydropower mining capacity in Bhutan to more than 1,200MW, positioning the country as a renewable mining hub. Marathon Digital and Zero Two began operating a 200MW immersion-cooled site in Abu Dhabi, showing how advanced cooling and flare-gas integration sustain operations in extreme climates. Meanwhile, Iris Energy in Australia reported 50EH/s, signaling how APAC miners scale alongside Western peers. Background Context – The Cambridge Bitcoin Mining Map shows that after China’s 2021 crackdown, bitcoin mining shifted across Asia-Pacific economies while underground activity in China persists. Energy data, published by Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, projects rising renewable penetration, creating conditions where bitcoin mining can align with decarbonization goals if policy supports it. Bitcoin Mining by Country 2025. Source: World Population Review Deeper Analysis – China remains opaque. Despite the ban, seasonal hydropower in Sichuan and underground clusters persist. The Cambridge Digital Mining Industry Report 2025 warns of underreported activity in China, complicating global hash power and concentration risk assessments. In fact, despite the 2021 ban on crypto mining, the country still accounts for more than 21% of global hashrate. This persistence is driven by underground hydropower operations in regions like Sichuan, dispersed small-scale farms that avoid detection, and local utilities quietly selling surplus electricity. While Beijing maintains a prohibition on paper, in practice, it appears to tolerate a shadow bitcoin mining industry, adding significant opacity and transparency risks to global assessments. Japan’s…

OpenAI mulls new revenue from AI infrastructure

OpenAI mulls new revenue from AI infrastructure

The post OpenAI mulls new revenue from AI infrastructure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OpenAI is exploring a potential new revenue stream: renting out its AI-ready data centers and infrastructure to companies needing massive computing power. The idea mirrors Amazon’s early move into cloud computing nearly two decades ago, when it began offering excess capacity to outside businesses. That experiment evolved into Amazon Web Services (AWS), now a multibillion-dollar powerhouse and a cornerstone of the modern internet. For OpenAI, the logic is similar. The company has poured resources into cutting-edge chips, servers, and cooling systems to power its large-scale AI workloads. Allowing others to rent that infrastructure could open the door for startups and smaller firms to access high-performance computing without building it themselves—while creating a lucrative business line for OpenAI. Still, Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar emphasized the idea remains speculative. With demand for ChatGPT and other AI products soaring, OpenAI’s immediate priority is securing enough capacity for its needs. In a recent interview, Friar confirmed the company isn’t actively pursuing the plan yet but sees it as a possible opportunity in the future. CFO eyes infrastructure leasing down the road OpenAI has become good at building data centers tailored for artificial intelligence. This know-how could be productized. Friar said that OpenAI is trying to take more control of its infrastructure design instead of relying on external vendors, cautioning that if the company only purchased equipment from others, it would risk giving away its intellectual property. The company has raised tens of billions for ultrapowerful AI chips and facilities. Its Stargate project with SoftBank and Oracle promises to construct some of the largest data centers in the world, in the United States and beyond. Excitement is running high after CEO Sam Altman promised ambitious plans, saying that people should expect OpenAI to spend trillions of dollars on infrastructure shortly. He added that the…

Libra Promoters Regain Access to $57.6 Million in Crypto After Judge Unfreezes Assets

Libra Promoters Regain Access to $57.6 Million in Crypto After Judge Unfreezes Assets

The post Libra Promoters Regain Access to $57.6 Million in Crypto After Judge Unfreezes Assets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief A judge ordered that $57.6 million in USDC associated with the Libra meme coin scandal be unfrozen. It follows the February launch of the Libra meme coin, which was promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei and crashed and burned within a matter of hours. The judge added that she is “skeptical” that the plaintiffs will succeed in their case against Hayden Davis and Ben Chow. Assets associated with the infamous Libra token—launched in February, and promoted by Argentine President Javier Milei—were unfrozen by a Manhattan federal judge on Tuesday. The judge said that she no longer believes that the defendants would run off with the cash, after the pair had been compliant with court proceedings. It comes after the same U.S. district judge, Jennifer L. Rochon, froze $57.6 million worth of USDC found in June as part of a case in which the plaintiffs are seeking over $100 million in damages. The frozen assets were in two wallets controlled by defendants Hayden Davis, CEO of venture capital firm Kelsier Labs LLC, and Ben Chow, founder of decentralized exchange Meteora. On Tuesday, Judge Rochon stated that the pair were not conducting themselves as “evasive actors,” due to their compliance with the legal proceedings thus far.  “It is plain that money damages would be available to compensate the putative class,” Judge Rochon said, according to Law360. “Plaintiffs have not made a sufficient showing of irreparable harm.” As such, she decided to lift the freeze requirement on the $57.6 million worth of USDC on Tuesday. These assets haven’t moved from the originally frozen wallets, which are still holding $13.06 million and $44.59 million respectively. In doing so, the judge added that she is “skeptical” about the likelihood of the plaintiffs, represented by Burwick Law, succeeding in their case. Although she…

Here’s Who’s Impacted By Latest Trump Changes

Here’s Who’s Impacted By Latest Trump Changes

The post Here’s Who’s Impacted By Latest Trump Changes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Trump administration published proposed regulations this week that seek to limit which public service employees can have their student loans forgiven, one of several ways the Trump administration has taken steps in recent months to restrict loan forgiveness after the Biden administration significantly expanded it. Student loan borrowers gather near The White House on May 12, 2020 in Washington, DC. Getty Images for We, The 45 Million Key Facts The Education Department published new rules in the Federal Register on Monday that restrict employers from participating in Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) if they’re engaged in “illegal activities,” after President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting the forgiveness program in March. The regulations propose disqualifying employers that would otherwise qualify for PSLF on the basis of things like promoting gender-affirming care for minors or committing “violence for the purpose of obstructing or influencing government policy,” raising concerns among critics that it will be used against Democratic-leaning organizations, governments in “sanctuary cities” or groups that otherwise promote left-leaning policies. Borrowers eligible for student loan forgiveness under Income-Based Repayment (IBR) plans are also now in limbo after the Trump administration paused forgiveness under that program earlier this summer, a change that it has said is temporary. Student loan forgiveness under multiple other repayment plans had already been on hold due to court orders—including under the Saving On A Valuable Education (SAVE), Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) plans—but Democrats have questioned the necessity of pausing IBR forgiveness, given that it’s not affected by the court rulings directly. The reconciliation bill Trump signed into law in July, known as his “Big Beautiful Bill,” also makes some changes to student loan forgiveness as part of its broader overhaul of how student loans are allocated and repaid. What Changes…

Battle For Eberechi Eze Has Big Implications For Arsenal And Spurs

Battle For Eberechi Eze Has Big Implications For Arsenal And Spurs

The post Battle For Eberechi Eze Has Big Implications For Arsenal And Spurs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. LONDON, ENGLAND – AUGUST 17: Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace during the Premier League match between Chelsea and Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on August 17, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Vince Mignott/MB Media/Getty Images) Getty Images Eberechi Eze is a man in-demand. The 27-year-old is wanted by both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur with the two North London rivals hoping to complete a deal for the England international before the end of the summer transfer window. Eze could cost as much as $80m, reflecting his match-winning quality. Last season was an excellent one for Eze who registered eight goals and eight assists in 34 Premier League appearances. He was also a key figure as Crystal Palace won the FA Cup, sensationally beating Manchester City in the final to lift the first piece of silverware in the club’s 119-year history. Eze is a legend at Selhurst Park. LONDON, ENGLAND – MAY 17: Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace celebrates with teammates after scoring their side’s first goal during the Emirates FA Cup Final match between Crystal Palace and Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on May 17, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by James Gill – Danehouse/Getty Images) Getty Images Such a talent, however, deserves a higher platform and Eze seems destined to be granted this before the summer transfer window closes. However, it’s yet to be decided whether he will be wearing an Arsenal or Spurs jersey. There’s reason to believe the 27-year-old would be a good fit for both North London outfits. Arsenal has been forced into the market for a new attacker following news of Kai Havertz’s knee injury. Eze is capable of playing as a number 10 or on the left wing, but his signing would free up Gabriel Martinelli to operate through the middle. He would also…
