Token Bay Capital is an early investor in MANTRA and we could't be more thrilled for the team as they sign a landmark deal for a US$1 Billion partnership with DAMAC Properties to tokenize real-world assets (RWAs) in the UAE enabling token-based finance in the Middle East. The partnership will allow Damac to leverage Mantra’s RWA-focused blockchain to tokenize its diverse portfolio which includes: - Real estate - Hotels - Resorts - Manufacturing - Capital markets - Fashion It's estimated the the RWA market will grow from a mere ~200 Billion today (mostly made up of stablecoins) to US$10 Trillion in 5 years (by 2030). Mantra is positioning itself as a key player in this market evolution and with ~US$1,600 Trillion worth of assets still to be tokenized across: - US$100 Trillion stocks - US$300 Trillion debt - US$600 Trillion derivatives - US$615 Trillion real estate the potential is enormous 🚀 Go team Mantra!

Academics, consultants, and early adopters have been calling tokenisation of real-world assets the Next Big Thing for years. And, some large institutions have successfully launched tokenised RWA offerings. But, regulatory barriers for retail, tangible property tokenisation in Australia often require an onerous TradFi licensing “wrapper” around otherwise high-performing, global, liquid and next-generation platforms. The bricks that comprise those barriers (PI insurance for retail clients, custody, Responsible Entities with adequate understanding and risk appetite for TRWAs) are crumbling - despite the lack of regulatory reform. As we collaborate with service providers, we can help Innovators and Builders harness this technology and the opportunities it presents. I’m speaking today at the ADC’s Australian Leadership Retreat on “Tokenisation of the economy and the promise of blockchain to change everything” alongside the esteemed Greg Medcraft, Silicon Valley’s Joe Schoendorf, moderated by Digital Finance Sustainability guru Wendy Mackay. Let’s discuss your next project. It’s time. #rwa #tokenisation Stephen Roux Loretta Joseph Ronald M. Tucker

5 RULES FOR TOKEN LAUNCH RULE 1: Never publicly sell tokens in the U.S. for fundraising purposes RULE 2: Make decentralization the North Star RULE 3: Communication is everything. Govern yourself accordingly RULE 4: Be careful about secondary market listings and liquidity RULE 5: Always make token lockups apply for at least one year from token launch Ideally, lockups and other appropriate transfer restrictions should only begin to be released at the end of a one-year period, starting with the token launch and following a linear release from that point through the following three years, for a total lockup period of four years. https://lnkd.in/g9C9jERx

🎧 Latest pod is out. Bayani Mills is the Secretary & Acting CEO at the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body, providing advocacy on behalf of their Bitcoin industry members and advancing the adoption and understanding of Bitcoin in Australia. We take a deep dive into Bayani’s work with the industry body: educating politicians, making submissions on bills before parliament, and trying to carve out a clear space for Bitcoin in the minds of the public and politicians. Not everybody agrees with the idea of engaging the political leviathan, but as Bayani outlines there can be real consequences to inaction and though Bitcoin functions fine regardless, regressive policy can make life hard for everyday Australians to get started with Bitcoin.

It has gone largely unnoticed but the volume of international remittances transferred in USD backed stable coins has increased dramatically over the past few years. Much of that volume is moving throughout parts of Asia where access to traditional banking rails is either limited, slow and / or expensive. In many cases it is all of the above which makes it unsurprising that people are looking for better tech solutions to this problem. Not only is the demand coming from international workers looking to send funds back to family members but also from businesses looking to fund trade payments and make foreign investment. Is there a good reason why we shouldn't also see the proliferation of an AUD backed stable coin in the region? #blockchain #crypto #dlt #RWA Independent Reserve

Triton Liquid Fund is now live.    Triton Liquid is a digital asset hedge fund, which combines fundamental research with data analysis to invest in liquid tokens across the entire digital asset landscape. We have just been granted our In-Principal Approval from Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) for a Financial Services Permission. We chose to domicile in Abu Dhabi because it is rapidly emerging as a globally recognized center for digital asset innovation, with a progressive regulatory regime and pragmatic leadership. FJ Labs initially anchored this strategy with $30M USD. Since November, we have increased our market exposure from 20% to 100%.    We continue to believe that now is the optimal time to allocate to crypto, and that there are a number of tailwinds that make this year particularly attractive. More about our fund launch in the comments below.

I had a fascinating conversation with Brian Elders (布萊恩) 🇮🇪🇭🇺🇭🇰🇪🇺🌍 from SORS this morning all about stablecoins. We talked about the history of Sors from its Hong Kong heritage to growing into a multi-faceted virtual asset service provider (VASP) registered with the Central Bank of Ireland before diving into stablecoins. Check out the recap and episode recording below to learn all about these innovative digital currencies from their definition to major players to the fast-evolving regulatory landscape.

In this episode of the DSG Podcast, I chat with Christopher Gialouris, co-founder of AUDSC, to discuss how their AUD-denominated stablecoin is transforming the Web3 landscape for Australians. Chris explains how AUDSC addresses the lack of AUD-based stablecoins on major exchanges. He makes the case for promoting stability, transparency, and accessibility through blockchain technology. We explore the practical uses of AUDSC, from everyday transactions to DeFi and cross-border payments, and its role in diversifying the global stablecoin market. Chris also shares insights into AUDSC’s robust proof-of-reserves mechanism and the importance of supporting local innovation in the Web3 ecosystem. If you’re interested in the future of stablecoins and blockchain-driven financial solutions, this episode is a must-listen.

From humble beginnings into a multi-billion-dollar industry, this article explores the rapidly evolving field of Bitcoin mining: 👉Bitcoin’s halving cycles create a feedback loop: reduced block rewards drive demand for new, more efficient ASIC miners. Each halving has coincided with the launch of a new generation of miners. Miner efficiency has improved exponentially, and revenue peaks and troughs for ASIC models mirror Bitcoin’s price cycles. 👉Bitcoin’s hashrate is projected to surge from 730 EH/s to over 1,000 EH/s by 2026. The hashprice could reach $103/PH/s at the market’s top and $25/PH/s at its low. A 30 billion hardware market growth opportunity is on the horizon, with an estimated 18.6 billion from new miners and $10.8 billion from replacements. 👉New entrants and established players are vying for market share, amid delays and uncertainties facing some major manufacturers. Mining companies must scale their power capacities by 4.5 gigawatts over the next two years to accommodate the expected growth. https://lnkd.in/gxC8EY82 #BTC #Bitcoin #BitcoinMining #ASIC
