Aviva Investors just launched a tokenized US Dollar Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger. Ireland's Central Bank approved it.
This isn't a crypto fund. It's traditional debt securities, held by BNY Mellon, now accessible on-chain via XRPL. Komainu handles digital asset custody.
Our read: major asset managers like Aviva, BlackRock, and Franklin Templeton are quietly adopting public blockchains for real-world assets. This is a shift. It's not about new assets, it's about new rails for old money. More liquidity will flow into the ecosystem.

RWA perpetual futures volume just hit 99.2% of Bitcoin perpetuals on Hyperliquid and Binance, led by tokenized equities.
Combined 7-day volume across these RWA perps reached $61.7 billion. Hyperliquid alone saw $25.1 billion in RWA perpetual trading, outstripping all other perpetual categories on its platform last week (July 13-19).
This is the shift. The crypto trading world is expanding beyond crypto, moving from "speculating on endogenous digital commodities." TradFi is watching; ICE's CEO wants a "level playing field."
BTC is at 63,737. It needs to reclaim the EMA20 at 64,329 to show strength. $BTC
Citadel forecasts a surprise 25-basis-point Fed rate hike on Wednesday. This defies broad market expectations for a hold.
Citadel's macro team believes Chair Warsh will use a hike to reassert Fed independence, not respond to data. The market is pricing in a hold, leaving it vulnerable.
If Citadel is right, risk assets, including Bitcoin, face a headwind.
