Top RWA & MiCA News of the Week

BCG Report: RWA sector could potentially hit $600 billion by 2030 - According to a paper released recently by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), RWA tokenisation could potentially hit $600 billion by 2030. In the paper, jointly produced by Aptos Labs and Invesco, BCG called RWA tokenisation “the third revolution in asset management”. “We see a pattern of growing investor demand in the tokenized funds space,” said David Chan, managing director and partner at BCG.
Polymesh and BDACS enter into strategic partnership to accelerate RWA tokenisation - Leading permissioned blockchain infrastructure provider Polymesh Association is soon going to enter into a strategic partnership with BDACS, a leading blockchain and digital asset custody company based in Busan, South Korea. The partnership is aimed at enabling the two companies to discover and support promising RWA and tokenized securities projects in South Korea, collaborate on the enhancement and expansion of Polymesh’s RWA and tokenized securities protocol and ecosystem through marketing, custody support, and other efforts, and power joint cooperation to activate the Busan Blockchain Special Zone.
Solana-based AgriDex to leverage Stripe’s Bridge to lower cost for agricultural trade settlements - AgriDex, a Solana-based RWA marketplace for agricultural goods, is tapping stablecoin platform Bridge to lower cost for agricultural trade settlements. This move will allow AgriDex to integrate Bridge for enabling its buyers and sellers of agricultural commodities and products to use AgriDex as a cross-border payment and settlement venue using Circle's USDC stablecoin on the Solana network.
Mantra Chain joins Google Cloud for accelerating RWA tokenisation - Mantra Chain, a leading compliance-oriented blockchain, has joined Google Cloud for accelerating RWA tokenisation. Google Cloud, the world’s third largest cloud services provider, will supply essential infrastructure services and serve as a network verifier for MANTRA Chain, thus making real world asset trading more efficient and cost-effective. The integration will effectively make operations more scalable and secure, thus enabling Mantra Chain to bring assets on chain more efficiently.
MiCA poses systemic banking risks for stablecoins: Tether CEO - The Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation is supposed to go into full effect the coming December. As per MiCA, stablecoin issuers are mandated to hold at 60% of reserve assets in European banks. As per Tether CEO Paulo Ardoino, this may pose a systemic risk for stablecoin issuers as banks can loan up to 90% of their reserves. “If you have 10 billion euros under management, you have to put 6 billion euros in cash deposits. That is 60% of 10 billion euros. We know that banks can lend out 90% of their balance sheet. So of the 6 billion euros, they lend out 5.4 billion euros to people […] 600 million euros will remain in the bank balance sheet,” explained Ardoino.
