Top RWA & MiCA News of the Week
- Hong Kong launches sandbox for testing RWA tokenisation — Hong Kong’s financial authority, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) recently launched a sandbox for accelerating RWA tokenisation. The sandbox is designed to enable interbank settlement using experimental tokenised money, focusing on transactions involving tokenised assets. Participating banks from the Project Ensemble Architecture Community have already connected their tokenised deposit platforms to the Sandbox in preparation for testing both interbank payment-versus-payment and delivery-versus-payment settlement.
- RWA tokenisation startup Centrifuge unveils lending market on Base with Morpho — Centrifuge, a leading RWA tokenisation startup, has unveiled a lending platform that utilises collateral from several US treasury-backed tokens leveraging Morpho’s system of vaults. The lending platform will reside on Coinbase’s Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network. Aimed at institutions, the market will enable the collateralization of and borrowing against the Centrifuge-affiliated Anemoy Liquid Treasury Fund (LTF), Midas Short Term U.S. Treasuries (mTBILL) and Hashnote’s U.S. Yield Coin (USYC).
- Real Vision’s Chief Crypto Analyst casts doubt over predictions about tokenised asset market — Real Vision’s Chief Crypto Analyst Jamie Coutts has cast doubt on the predictions about tokenised asset market reaching $30 trillion by 2030, a figure proposed in an analysis by Standard Chartered Bank and Synpulse. As per Coutts, a more realistic estimate would be $1.3 trillion based on the current compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 121%. Coutts argues that though his figure is significantly lower than the original projection, it still represents significant growth in the tokenised asset market and could have a significant impact on the Web3 economy.

- Ondo Finance Launches USDY on Abritrum — Ondo Finance recently launched its USDY token on Arbitrum, Ethereum’s Layer 2 scaling network. This new collaboration aims to enhance the access and utilisation of real-world asset protocols in the blockchain landscape.
