🚨 Trump-linked stablecoin USD1 hits a major milestone
$USD1 has crossed $5B+ in market cap, becoming the 5th-largest stablecoin globally, behind only $USDT , $USDC and a few incumbents. Trump Jr. shared the milestone on X, with Eric Trump also celebrating. Designed to maintain a 1:1 USD peg, USD1 has now surpassed PYUSD and RLUSD, reaching this scale in under a year since launch. Fastest climb among new-age stablecoins.
What Is Real-World Asset Tokenisation (RWA) in Crypto?
- What if trillions of dollars could move on-chain? - What if you could trade global stocks, own a slice of prime real estate, or even hold a fraction of the Mona Lisa, all from your phone at home? That’s exactly what Real-World Assets, or RWAs, aim to unlock. RWAs are physical or off-chain assets such as real estate, bonds, gold, or invoices that are turned into blockchain tokens. Estimates suggest over $16 trillion in traditional assets could be tokenised, yet we’re still in the early innings. So why is Wall Street suddenly paying attention? Because crypto brings instant settlement, 24/7 markets, and global access. Giants like BlackRock and JPMorgan are already testing the waters. If Bitcoin 2026 represents crypto growing up, then RWA might be the bridge. Projects like @Ondo Finance ,@centrifuge , and @Plume - RWA Chain focus on compliance and real cash-flow-backed assets. Less hype, more fundamentals, but potentially massive scale.
The real question is: will regulation accelerate this shift or slow it down? Not financial advice. Like if this changed how you see crypto, comment your $RWA pick, subscribe for real alpha. Don't get left behind! $ONDO $PLUME
BitMine Holdings Update 🟣 #Bitmine ( $BMNR) now holds $12.8B in total crypto and investments, led by ~4.24M $ETH and $BTC, alongside cash and strategic equity stakes.
The firm controls ~3.5% of ETH’s circulating supply, cementing its lead as the largest ETH treasury holder.
ETH accumulation at the institutional scale is accelerating.
RIVER Rips Higher on Squeeze + Alt Rotation $RIVER spiked to $88.1 and is now trading near $86, up ~38% in 24h, extending a +197% weekly move and an explosive +2,100% gain over the past month, sharply outperforming a flat broader market.
What’s driving it: • Short squeeze: Crowded short positions in derivatives were liquidated as the price climbed, accelerating upside • Capital rotation: Traders rotated out of BTC/ETH into high-beta small caps • HTX Earn launch: New RIVER Flexible Earn product added yield-driven demand and locked up supply
This is a leverage-fueled rally, which is bullish short-term but highly volatile.
Key watch: Can RIVER hold above the major liquidation zone near $60, and will spot demand step in to sustain the move?
Stablecoins Are Turning Into a Major Revenue Engine for Ethereum #stablecoin issuers generated nearly $5B in revenue on Ethereum last year, per Token Terminal. Most of this came from yields on collateral assets like short-term Treasuries, not fees, highlighting how capital efficiency, not speculation, is driving growth.
• Quarterly issuer revenue rose sharply from ~$500M in Q1 to over $1.4B in Q4 • #Ethereum stablecoin supply grew by ~$50B YoY to ~$180B, reinforcing its role as the primary settlement layer
At the market level, stablecoins are now operating at a massive scale. The total stablecoin market peaked above $310B, led by $USDT ($187B) and $USDC ($72B). Usage is accelerating alongside supply, with on-chain transaction volume up 72% to ~$33T, signalling adoption beyond just trading pairs.
Layer-2s are playing a critical role in this expansion.
• Base reached a new ATH of ~$5.2B in stablecoin supply, showing how payments and DeFi activity are migrating to cheaper rails while staying anchored to Ethereum
On the credit side, Ethereum remains unmatched. It leads on-chain lending with ~$28B in active loans, roughly 10× that of any other network, making stablecoins the backbone of on-chain credit markets.
• Yield-bearing stablecoins like $sUSDS are growing rapidly as users seek “cash-like” assets that earn • Key challenges remain around regulation and privacy, especially as stablecoins move closer to everyday payment use
Key Takeaway: Stablecoins are no longer just liquidity tools. They’re becoming one of Ethereum’s strongest and most consistent revenue drivers.
