Another highlight moment 🥳✨

Just wrapped an incredible panel with sharp, lively exchanges and a few statements from two industry heavyweights that are bound to go viral. Clips coming once I'm back in Dubai

I’ve been hosting discussions with quite a few industry leaders recently, and I'm feeling sharper with every conversation. Here's to bigger stages ahead 🫡♥️

[Binance Research @BinanceResearch]

Tokenized equities are increasingly used on-chain, not just issued.

bStocks utilization has led the market since 31 Jul and now sits at 11.2%. Borrowing against bStocks has climbed to nearly half of collateral value.

The next benchmark is usage, not issuance.

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

Onchain trading has come a long way, but the stack still isn't finished.

At CONNECT Singapore, builders get into the gaps that remain in onchain trading in 2026, from liquidity and execution to data and infrastructure.

CoinMarketCap has acquired CoinGlass, the derivatives data platform behind the liquidation heatmap, open-interest and funding-rate charts traders share every day.

The reason is simple: most crypto volume now trades in derivatives, and CoinGlass is where traders go to make sense of it. They were early in showing the market why open interest, funding and liquidations matter.

For CoinGlass users, nothing changes. CoinGlass keeps its brand and continues to run as an independent business.

We're excited about what this means for crypto users everywhere. Both brands share the same commitment: building more useful tools for more people in crypto.

Thanks for hosting me :) You asked some excellent questions that allowed me to cover the full analysis of the market set up this week. Really enjoyed it!

TODAY ON THE STARTING BLOCK:

We're live with @AliceCrypto3 from @CoinMarketCap - we'll be diving deep into the current state of the markets and why Bitcoin's been on a tear!

4/ The catch: CMC Altcoin Season Index has dropped from 51 to 36 in a week, so capital has been rotating back to BTC. Alts need that to turn before they lead rather than follow.

Thanks @CoinDesk (@shauryamalwa @godbole17) for the quote ahead of today's CLARITY Act cloture vote! 🧵

3/ If it passes, the first movers should be the "digital commodity" names that have lived under classification uncertainty: XRP, SOL, ADA, LINK.

Then DeFi (UNI, AAVE) on the developer-protection language. ETH is the quiet winner as the stablecoin/tokenisation layer, already +32% in 30d vs BTC +22%.

[Alice @AliceCrypto3]

Great to be on! Thanks Ciaran for hosting me :)

@CoinMarketCap @FINTECHTVglobal Was great to share my thoughts on the market! Thanks again for the opportunity

[CoinMarketCap @CoinMarketCap]

Institutions arrived. Research got serious.

With 50 million tokens in existence, the question is no longer "what's the price", it's "what's driving this & what comes next."

Our Head of Research Alice Liu joined Raghda Ibraheem on @FINTECHTVglobal 's Capital Markets: Wall Street to MENA to walk through the data and tools that answer it: from CMC's trending narratives, Fear & Greed, Altcoin Season, to ETF flows, open interest, exchange reserves and AI hub.

23x in 3 weeks 📈
bStocks on-chain volume: $6M → $37M → $136M, while the overall tokenized-stock DEX market stayed flat.

No market tailwind. No rising tide. Just one protocol taking share while everyone else stood still 👏

[CoinMarketCap @CoinMarketCap]

SpaceX lists tomorrow at $135/share 🚀 a $1.75T IPO.

Crypto spent the last 12 months building three ways to trade it before it lists: spot tokens, perps, and prediction markets.

We tracked all of them. New CoinMarketCap Research report 🧵 https://t.co/REX9nGjGYW

This market barely existed 5 months ago.

Last week, I had a data-driven discussion with @AliceCrypto3, Head of Research at @CoinMarketCap , on the key trends shaping RWAs. ⚙️

🔻 One market stood out in particular: RWA perps.

A few datapoints we discussed on stage:

• The RWA perps market has grown around 10x since Dec'2025

• Weekly trading volume already reached $50B

• CEXs still dominate overall volumes, although there were days in early March when Hyperliquid volumes briefly surpassed centralised venues

• Around 65% of all RWA perps volume comes from commodities, followed by stocks and ETFs

• HIP-3 platforms alone (including @tradexyz and @ventuals) are already processing around $1.5B in daily volume

• Hyperliquid is clearly leading this category today, while players like @edgeX_exchange , Ostium and Lighter are experimenting with different distribution strategies to catch up. @Lighter_xyz's recent integration with @Wallet_tg is a good example.

• CEX are also launching new RWA perp products almost every week – e.g., @coinbase recently announced new perpetuals on AI and defence ETFs (US and China)

• Pre-IPO exposure is another emerging opportunity, with interesting price discrepancies already appearing across Hyperliquid, CEXs and tokenised spot markets like @PreStocks.

• • • • •

❌ Despite all this growth, the market is still tiny relative to TradFi.

Energy and metals futures alone trade around $200B-400B in daily volume globally, meaning on-chain RWA perps are still well below 1% of traditional derivatives markets.

Which also shows the scale of the opportunity. 🎯

24/7 markets, hashtag#global accessibility, easier distribution, DeFi composability – it is not difficult to see why this category is gaining traction so quickly.

• • • • •

🗣️ Also, really liked the format we picked together with Alice for this session. Instead of a classic keynote, it became more of a relaxed dialogue around actual market data and charts prepared by her and the broader CoinMarketCap team in advance.

I think this worked extremely well: discussing concrete numbers directly from the slides gave the audience more context and made the conversation practical and grounded. 💡

Was a real pleasure doing this session together with Alice – definitely one of my favourite discussions from last week!

[Alice @AliceCrypto3]

S&P 500 just broke 7400 refreshing a new ATH. Nasdaq is also at fresh all-time highs. US stocks added $270B at the open today alone.

At the same time, Kalshi recession odds just fell to their lowest level (18%) since the pool launched in July last year.

Peak euphoria. Everyone suddenly believes there’s no recession, no risk, and AI will carry markets forever...

@officialczzz @CoinMarketCap BTC probably doesn’t reclaim greed-led upside until liquidity conditions improve, so waiting on a material Fed pivot, QT slowing or reversing, and global M2 starting to expand.
