Stablecoin infrastructure and RWA platforms positioning for growth as ETFs expand crypto access; Dunamu launches GIWA chain despite regulatory challenges.
DeFi & Yields ·
Ethereum currently hosts 19.4 billion dollars in tokenized funds, reflecting growing institutional adoption of real-world asset infrastructure. Platforms like Ondo are partnering with major institutions to build tokenized bond products, while stablecoin rails including USDC and RLUSD facilitate cross-border settlement and liquidity flows.
Recent ETF amendments have expanded accessibility to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, with spillover effects reaching other assets filing similar structures such as ZEC. This regulatory expansion is positioning tokenized finance for broader adoption as traditional finance infrastructure integrates with blockchain settlement.
The sector is not without friction. Dunamu, a South Korean exchange operator, has moved forward with launching the GIWA chain despite facing regulatory headwinds in its home market, highlighting the tension between crypto infrastructure growth and jurisdictional constraints. The extent to which regulatory pressure will shape deployment timelines and geographic distribution remains unclear.
