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 โ 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 wstETHโs 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.
๐น 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.
