Trump’s Crypto Stance Sparks Stable Coin Surge as Institutions Accumulate Quietly

📊Market sentiment: Trump’s new crypto stance, centered around the US dollar, has primarily benefited stablecoins and stablecoin protocols, as they are the most successful form of real-world assets (RWAs). The market has shown significant improvement, with altcoins gaining momentum while institutions quietly accumulate. This suggests that retail investors have exited the market, as social media activity remains low and new project launches have been lackluster.

What are Real-World Assets (RWA) in Crypto

Real-world assets (RWAs) in crypto are tokenized versions of traditional financial assets, bringing them onto the blockchain for improved accessibility, liquidity, and efficiency. These assets can include:

• Stable coins – Tokenized fiat currencies like USDT and USDC, pegged to the US dollar.
• Commodities – Gold, silver, and other precious metals tokenized on-chain (e.g., PAXG).
• Real Estate – Fractional ownership of real estate properties via blockchain tokens.
• Bonds & Treasuries – On-chain representations of government bonds, corporate bonds, or debt instruments.
• Equities & Funds – Tokenized stocks, ETFs, or private equity investments.

RWAs bridge traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling institutions and retail investors to trade, lend, or stake assets seamlessly. They are gaining traction due to regulatory clarity and the ability to bring real economic value on-chain.
