The tokenized asset market crossed $30 billion last month and has stayed there. Roughly the size of an elite university endowment.
As recently as mid-2024, it was below $3 billion. 10x in under two years.
What changed: the GENIUS Act, mature institutional onchain infrastructure, and a wave of financial institutions moving from pilots to production — all at roughly the same time.
Japan's ruling party approved a national framework for AI and blockchain finance, covering stablecoins, tokenized assets, and programmable payments.
Japan is where Astar is rooted, with @bitbank_inc's Visa card already including ASTR. Astar Foundation and @StartaleGroup are closely collaborating on stablecoin relevance and distribution in Japan.

Following recent bridge exploits, Lido contributors are publishing the security principles behind wstETH’s multi-chain strategy, and why @chainlink CCIP was selected as the official cross-chain solution.
The analysis covers how Chainlink CCIP delivers strong decentralization, native safeguards, and issuer control as default protocol-level guarantees, which insulates wstETH from a number of attack vectors behind the Kelp / LayerZero exploit.
This decision was made last November by the Network Expansion Committee, with CCIP securing wstETH via 16 independent node operators, native rate limiting, and no vendor lock-in over token contracts.

NEW: Leading crypto exchange @krakenfx is deprecating its legacy cross-chain provider and migrates to Chainlink CCIP.
Starting with kBTC, all current and future Kraken Wrapped Assets will use CCIP for secure distribution across blockchains and global markets.
🏹 Bitbank, one of Japan's largest crypto exchanges, and EPOS (Marui Group) launched a Visa credit card in Japan that gives cashback in crypto.
Three assets are eligible: ASTR, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
