๐Ÿš€ Tether to Cease EURโ‚ฎ Redemption Services by November 2025

According to ChainCatcher, stablecoin issuer Tether announced on November 26 that it will conclude the liquidation process of its euro stablecoin, EURโ‚ฎ. As the final step in this process, Tether will halt redemption services for EURโ‚ฎ across all supported blockchains starting November 27, 2025. Previously, Tether had ceased minting EURโ‚ฎ and stopped accepting new issuance requests.

Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, explained that the liquidation of EURโ‚ฎ is aimed at optimizing operational and technical infrastructure, allowing the company to focus more on networks with high utility and forward-looking initiatives. In Europe, Tether's focus will shift to the Hadron by Tether platform, which is designed to facilitate asset tokenization and provide issuance, investment, and core capital market technology for institutions, fund managers, and governments.

๐Ÿš€ BitMine CEO Highlights Improving Fundamentals Amid Crypto Market Decline

According to Odaily, BitMine Chairman and CEO Tom Lee has noted a continued decline in cryptocurrency market prices. However, he emphasized that fundamentals such as wallet numbers, on-chain activity, fees, and asset tokenization are showing signs of improvement. Lee believes that the divergence between price corrections and fundamental progress is making the risk-reward profile of BTC and ETH more appealing.

๐Ÿš€ Tokenization Faces Liquidity Challenges, Says Securitize CEO

According to ChainCatcher, Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo has highlighted that accessibility is not the sole driver behind the wave of asset tokenization. Contrary to the belief that tokenization could enhance the liquidity of traditionally illiquid assets, Domingo points out that digital assets, whether they represent equity in apartment buildings or tokenized Pokรฉmon cards, inherit the liquidity limitations of their physical counterparts. This implies that selling these assets quickly without incurring significant losses may be challenging.

Domingo further noted that as tokenization technology evolves, this dynamic might eventually change. However, the current focus remains on assets that can enhance existing liquidity, such as cash and U.S. Treasury bonds. The trend is moving away from illiquid markets, with the most successful tokenized assets being those like the U.S. dollar, as evidenced by the growth of stablecoins.

๐Ÿš€ Paxos Seeks SEC Approval to Become Clearing Agency

According to Foresight News, Paxos co-founder and CEO Chad Cascarilla announced at the Solana Breakpoint conference that Paxos has applied to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to become a clearing agency. This move would enable Paxos to directly custody and issue stocks and bonds on-chain, allowing users to hold actual underlying assets rather than derivatives. Cascarilla emphasized that this development is crucial for the large-scale transition of traditional financial assets onto blockchain.

Cascarilla outlined Paxos's goal to facilitate the integration of traditional assets into the blockchain environment. The company plans to expand its presence in the stablecoin and asset tokenization sectors, including the growth of USDG and gold tokenization products. He expressed the belief that public blockchains will become a unified global platform for asset trading, significantly enhancing market accessibility and liquidity.

๐Ÿš€ Solana and Ethereum Expected to Benefit from Asset Tokenization Trend

According to BlockBeats, Dragonfly General Partner Rob Hadick discussed the impact of asset tokenization on blockchain networks during an interview with CNBC's Squawk Box. He noted that both Solana and Ethereum are poised to benefit from the accelerating trend of asset tokenization and expanding on-chain economic activities, rather than engaging in a zero-sum competition. Hadick likened both platforms to Facebook in terms of their potential.

Hadick highlighted Ethereum's current role in supporting most stablecoins and core economic activities, while Solana offers advantages in high-frequency trading and transaction flow efficiency. Data from RWA XYZ indicates a significant difference in the asset scale of the two networks, with Ethereum, including stablecoins, valued at approximately $183.7 billion, compared to Solana's $15.9 billion.

๐Ÿš€ U.S. Crypto Regulation Shifts Towards Collaboration Between SEC and CFTC

According to ChainCatcher, as the Trump administration enters its second year, the U.S. crypto regulatory landscape is undergoing a shift. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are moving from jurisdictional disputes to closer collaboration in advancing crypto regulation. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins is advocating for a 'token classification system,' Project Crypto, and an innovative exemption mechanism. He has also approved standards for listing various crypto ETFs and prioritized asset tokenization as a regulatory focus.

The CFTC, under the leadership of newly appointed Chairman Michael Selig, is accelerating rule clarification through the 'Crypto Sprint' initiative and is expected to play a more central role in regulating crypto commodities like Bitcoin. Industry experts anticipate that by 2026, U.S. crypto regulation will feature a dual-track approach with SEC's institutional innovation and CFTC's market expansion leadership. Former SEC senior attorney Howard Fischer noted that this is the first time in his memory that the two agencies are advancing crypto regulation in such a highly collaborative manner, and he expects this cooperation to dominate the regulatory agenda in 2026.

๐Ÿš€ PwC Expands Cryptocurrency Efforts Amid U.S. Policy Shift

According to ChainCatcher, PwC, one of the Big Four accounting firms, is increasing its investment in cryptocurrency and related businesses as the U.S. government shows a significant shift in its stance on digital assets. Paul Griggs, head of PwC in the United States, stated that this strategic adjustment began last year, driven primarily by the appointment of pro-crypto regulatory officials and the advancement of several digital asset-related legislative processes in the U.S. Congress.

Griggs highlighted that the regulatory framework surrounding stablecoins and the 'Genius Act' are contributing to increased market confidence in these assets. He also noted that asset tokenization will continue to develop, necessitating PwC's deep involvement in this emerging ecosystem. These statements reflect how changes in the policy environment are prompting traditional blue-chip institutions to reassess and gradually enter the digital asset market, which they have previously approached with caution.

๐Ÿš€ Tokenized Asset Market Projected to Reach $400 Billion by 2026

According to Odaily, the cryptocurrency industry is advancing the role of 'on-chain dollars' as stablecoins are expected to validate product market fit by 2025. This involves tokenizing assets such as stocks, ETFs, money market funds, and gold to serve as tradable on-chain financial modules. Industry executives anticipate the tokenized asset market could expand to approximately $400 billion by 2026.

Samir Kerbage, Chief Investment Officer at Hashdex, noted that the current tokenized asset market is valued at around $36 billion. He emphasized that future growth will be driven by structural changes in value transfer methods rather than speculative demand. Kerbage highlighted that once stablecoins mature as 'on-chain cash,' funds will naturally flow into investable assets, bridging digital currency and digital capital markets.

The report indicates that by 2025, the tokenized asset market will have reached nearly $20 billion, with traditional financial institutions like BlackRock, JPMorgan, and BNY Mellon deeply involved. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino believes 2026 will be pivotal for banks transitioning from pilot programs to actual deployments, particularly in emerging markets where tokenization can help issuers bypass traditional infrastructure limitations.

Furthermore, Centrifuge COO Jรผrgen Blumberg predicts that by the end of 2026, the locked value of on-chain real-world assets (RWA) could exceed $100 billion, with more than half of the world's top 20 asset management firms launching tokenized products. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo suggests that native tokenized stocks and ETFs will gradually replace synthetic asset models and become significant high-quality collateral in DeFi.

CoinDesk asserts that legal clarity, cross-chain interoperability, and a unified identity system remain crucial prerequisites for the expansion of the tokenized market. However, industry consensus has shifted from questioning whether to go on-chain to focusing on the scale and speed of on-chain integration.

He believes that practical efforts and a bullish approach will yield substantial results in the long run.

๐Ÿš€ S&P Predicts Significant Growth in Euro Stablecoin Market by 2030

S&P Global Ratings has released a report forecasting substantial growth in the euro stablecoin market by 2030. According to PANews, the report anticipates the market could reach 1.1 trillion euros, a significant increase from the 650 million euros projected by the end of 2025. In a baseline scenario, S&P expects the market to grow to 570 billion euros, representing 2.2% of the total bank deposits in the eurozone.

The report attributes this growth primarily to the demand for asset tokenization investments. It also highlights the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which took effect on January 1, 2025, providing a clear regulatory framework for issuers. S&P suggests that stablecoins will find more applications in the real world, beyond their current use in cryptocurrency trading, supporting this rapid expansion.

๐Ÿš€ ETHZilla Advances Asset Tokenization with $4.7 Million Loan Acquisition

ETHZilla is accelerating its asset tokenization efforts by acquiring a portfolio of 95 manufactured and modular home loans for $4.7 million. According to Odaily, the company plans to tokenize these loans on the Ethereum Layer-2 network and issue cash flow digital tokens to investors through the regulated trading platform Liquidity.io. The loan portfolio is secured by first lien mortgages and is expected to yield an annualized return of approximately 10%. McAndrew Rudisill, Chairman and CEO of ETHZilla, stated that this transaction is a natural extension of the company's tokenization strategy, highlighting the stable cash flow and strong collateral of manufactured home loans as ideal for tokenization within a regulated and transparent framework.

ETHZilla's move comes after a significant decline in its core crypto assets, with the company's stock price having dropped over 90% from its August 2025 peak of $107. Last year, ETHZilla sold more than $110 million in ETH to fund stock buybacks and debt repayment. The company has also invested in manufactured home loan company Zippy and acquired two jet engines for tokenization, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to diversifying physical asset tokenization.

๐Ÿš€ Traditional Finance Giants Embrace Blockchain for Asset Tokenization

Real World Assets (RWA) tokenization is transitioning from unsuccessful initial projects to a burgeoning multi-trillion dollar market with the potential to transform the financial landscape. According to NS3.AI, prominent traditional financial institutions, including BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and JP Morgan, are integrating blockchain technology to facilitate quicker and more efficient asset trading and settlement processes. While this development presents significant opportunities, it also brings challenges such as regulatory risks and concerns over oracle reliability. This evolution suggests a future where traditional finance and blockchain technology converge under institutional oversight.

๐Ÿš€ BlackRock CEO Advocates for Asset Tokenization to Reduce Costs

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink highlighted the inefficiencies in the financial services sector on March 6, emphasizing the presence of numerous intermediaries and lengthy settlement processes. According to BlockBeats, Fink suggested that digitizing all assets and enabling seamless transitions from cash or stablecoins in digital wallets to stocks or bonds could significantly reduce friction and transaction costs.

Currently, there is $4.1 trillion in global digital wallets. To invest in bonds, stocks, or real estate, funds must be transferred from digital to traditional wallets, incurring various commissions and fees.

The concept of tokenizing all assets, including real estate, aims to substantially lower these friction costs, making investments easier and more straightforward. This would facilitate a more fluid investment process.

๐Ÿš€ SEC Commissioner Encourages Dialogue on Asset Tokenization and Innovative Financial Products

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is open to companies exploring asset tokenization and new trading product structures, according to Commissioner Hester Peirce. She emphasized the importance of direct communication with the SEC for firms developing innovative financial products, including tokenized financial instruments.

In an interview with CNBC's 'The Exchange,' Peirce stated that as the market matures, the SEC is keen to collaborate with the industry to test the demand for these new products. She highlighted that many asset management firms are currently exploring ways to integrate crypto assets or blockchain securities into traditional investment tools, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Peirce also addressed the SEC's recent focus on high-leverage ETFs, clarifying that the SEC does not make value judgments on whether a product is a good investment. Instead, the agency ensures compliance with relevant laws and adequate risk disclosure.

She noted that existing regulations impose certain limits on fund leverage levels. However, issuers may propose different designs if they can demonstrate compliance with the securities law framework. With some institutions attempting to launch ETFs with leverage exceeding three times, regulatory attention in this area is increasing.
