Gate Ventures: Market sentiment remains weak, but stablecoin payments and RWA infrastructure development are accelerating.
According to the latest weekly report from Gate Ventures, market risk appetite remained under pressure, leading to an overall correction in the crypto market. BTC fell 3.7% for the week, ETH fell 1.2%, and the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies declined by 3.1%, with the Fear & Greed Index remaining in the "extreme fear" range. In terms of funding, digital asset investment products continued to experience net outflows, with the spot BTC ETF seeing a net outflow of $226.8 million and the spot ETH ETF seeing a net outflow of $10 million, reflecting continued market caution. Meanwhile, Strategy's STRC has traded below par value for the fifth consecutive week, with the market continuing to focus on its future capital operations and yield adjustments. Regarding industry development, stablecoin payments and RWA infrastructure construction continued to advance. Trace Finance completed a $32 million funding round to expand its compliant stablecoin payment network and cross-border settlement infrastructure; Philippine regulators released positive signals supporting the tokenization of RWA, further deepening related explorations. In terms of investment and financing, four financing transactions were disclosed last week, totaling $39.5 million, with DeFi accounting for the majority of the financing. Overall, although the market is still in a short-term adjustment phase, stablecoin payments, RWA, and underlying infrastructure construction remain important areas of continued focus for the industry.
BNY Mellon: FOMO sentiment is driving asset management companies to accelerate the deployment of tokenized ETFs.
PANews reported on June 24th, citing The Block, that Ben Slavin, Global Head of ETFs at BNY Mellon (BNY), stated that asset managers are accelerating their tokenized ETF initiatives, primarily driven by investor demand and "FOMO" (fear of missing out on early opportunities in blockchain finance). Slavin revealed that BNY has several tokenized ETF projects underway, and while regulations and infrastructure are not yet fully in place, many clients are eager to launch their products as soon as possible. He believes that blockchain networks have the potential to become a new distribution channel for traditional investment products, enabling 24/7 holding and transfer of fund units, shortening settlement times, and expanding global investor reach. Slavin also pointed out that hundreds of well-known ETFs are currently trading in tokenized form on unregulated markets, most without direct authorization from the fund sponsors, which poses reputational risks.
