Real-world assets (RWAs) are gaining momentum as tokenized versions of traditional investments move beyond issuance and become active parts of onchain financial markets.RWA deposits across decentralized finance platforms more than tripled year over year to $7.4 billion in the second quarter of 2026, while total DeFi deposits fell about 15%, according to a joint report by CoinShares and Token Terminal published Thursday.CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti said the divergence shows that RWA demand is being driven by practical use cases rather than broader market conditions. “When an asset class grows through a downturn in its host ecosystem, demand is being driven…

Demand for US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has accelerated over the past week, with a string of daily inflows coinciding with the Coldcard wallet hack — timing that has prompted speculation about whether some investors are reconsidering self-custody.According to Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) as well as Defiance Daily Target 2X Long MSTR ETF (MSBT) have recorded inflows every trading day since the weekend exploit, totaling roughly $620 million. The cumulative figure is consistent with Cointelegraph’s recent reporting…

In a bid to flex his political muscle and highlight his law-and-order and free-market gospel lauded by President Donald Trump, President Javier Milei of Argentina abruptly appeared at the presidential campaign launch of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in São Paulo in July, creating a diplomatic flap with potential economic consequences for the region. Milei called President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva a “thief” and “socialist trash,” while insulting a respected Brazilian jurist, prompting Brazil’s foreign ministry to recall its ambassador from Buenos Aires and summon home Argentina’s ambassador in Brasília, a step it had not taken against Argentina before. Whether Milei’s…

I write before my kids wake up and after they go to sleep. That’s the arrangement. It means I’m free during summer, winter, and spring breaks, along with weekends, which is the whole point of building a lifestyle business in the first place. I gave up a handsome paycheck for the ability to always be the one at pickup. I’d probably be far richer if I had kept grinding in finance after the kids were born. I’d also be more tired, more stressed, less healthy, and less happy. Their first five years flew by. Now I’m trying to bank as much time…

OpenAI has acquired Roi, an AI-powered personal finance app. In keeping with a recent trend in the AI industry, only the CEO is making the jump.   Chief executive and co-founder Sujith Vishwajith announced the acquisition on Friday, and a source familiar with the matter told TechCrunch he is the only one of Roi’s four-person staff to join OpenAI. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The company will wind down operations and end its service to customers on October 15.  The Roi deal marks the latest in a string of acqui-hires from OpenAI this year, including Context.ai, Crossing Minds, and Alex. While it’s not clear whether any of Roi’s technology…

The Trump administration has mounted many varied claims to support its trade war, but a central argument is that foreigners, not US citizens, pay the price for tariffs. As discussed in our first blog, even if one thought it appropriate to foist tax burdens onto foreigners, there are more efficient and effective ways to do so. Further, multiple practical issues impede the use of so-called optimal tariffs to improve national welfare. Perhaps the biggest of these is that US households and businesses have borne most of the burden of Trump’s tariffs in practice. Do foreigners pay for tariffs? The Trump…

Picking the right crypto presale can be a turning point for early investors. Most of the big gains people talk about in crypto do not come from large-cap coins. They usually happen much earlier, before a token is listed anywhere, when prices are still low and the project is just getting started. That early stage also comes with real risk. Presales are where strong projects are born, but they are also where investors can lose money if a project lacks direction, utility, or long-term relevance. This is why choosing carefully matters even more as the market moves closer to 2026.…

US tariffs on China have changed the routes through which Chinese-made content reaches the US far more than they have reduced US dependence on China. Examining value-added trade flows through 2024 shows that US reliance on Chinese producers has fallen much less than bilateral trade data suggest. Spurred by President Donald Trump’s tariffs on China in his first term, Chinese goods and services increasingly make their way into the US embedded in US imports from third countries. Measuring value-added trade flows identifies the ultimate source of imported content rather than the last border the goods cross before arriving in the…

The Aussie Dollar’s recovery appears to have met some resistance in the 0.7050-0.7060 band against the US Dollar so far. Indeed, AUD/USD still shows signs of struggling to surpass 0.7000 in a sustainable fashion, while the constructive outlook appears unchanged above its critical 200-day SMA near 0.6920. Looking at the broader picture, the RBA’s cautious stance and still sticky domestic inflation are seen underpinning the Aussie in case of occasional bouts of weakness.The Australian Dollar (AUD) trades markedly weaker on Thursday, leading to a correction in AUD/USD to the low 0.7000s, or two-day lows.The pair’s resurgence of the downside pressure…
