Inflated dashboards don’t build institutional trust. Only verifiable assets, regulatory clarity and real usage can power the RWA revolution. Opinion by: Aishwary Gupta, global head of payments and RWAs at Polygon Labs Most of the eye-popping RWA numbers making headlines are smoke and mirrors. Unless the industry course-corrects, it risks eroding the institutional trust it has spent years trying to build. Every week brings another announcement claiming billions in tokenized assets. When institutional investors request basic details, however, the answers become mysteriously vague.  OpenAI was forced to distance itself from Robinhood’s claim that it was offering access to tokenized stock, clarifying that this did not represent real equity in the company. In May 2025, the SEC charged Unicoin for misleading investors by overstating the value of tokenized real estate deals. Read more

High yields mean nothing without execution certainty. Institutional DeFi adoption demands predictable transactions over speculative returns at scale. Opinion by: Robin Nordnes, co-founder and CEO of Raiku Many decentralized finance (DeFi) diehards assume that the future of institutional adoption will be driven by sparkly, sky-high yields. The reality is that the mainstream will be most impressed with consistency and reliability. DeFi opened the door for ordinary people to access financial tools that were previously reserved for institutions. For the first time, anyone could invest their money in open markets from anywhere in the world. That was a massive step forward. The same openness that made this possible came with a trade-off. Decentralization gave us freedom, but it sometimes meant unpredictability. Read more

Israel’s coordinator for hostages and missing persons said on Monday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports a bill that would authorise the execution of Palestinian prisoners. The far-right Jewish Power party, led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, submitted the bill, which will go to a first reading in the Knesset (Israeli parliament) on Wednesday. The draft law states: “The death penalty shall be imposed on any person who intentionally, or through indifference, causes the death of an Israeli citizen out of racist motives, hatred, or intent to harm the State of Israel.” Bills in Israel must pass three readings in the Knesset to become law. Israel’s public broadcaster KAN reported that Coordinator Gal Hirsch told the Knesset’s National Security Committee on Monday that Netanyahu had expressed support for the measure. Hirsch said he had previously opposed the bill “because of the risk it posed to the lives of the living hostages in Gaza”. “The hostages are now alive, and therefore my oppos...

XRP can serve as short-term working capital for currency exchanges, as transactions typically take only a few minutes to complete.
