The total market value of stablecoins exceeded $264 billion, an increase of 26.9% since January. Enterprise interest in stablecoins accelerated after the legislation. Anchorage Digital partners with Ethena Labs to launch USDtb in accordance with federal compliance standards. WisdomTree launches USDW stablecoin for institutional adoption. Major banking institutions have expressed strategic entry plans. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan confirmed that a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar will be developed after regulatory clarity. JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup launched initial stablecoin readiness frameworks this month. Christie’s International Real Estate Launches Dedicated Cryptocurrency Division Christie’s International Real Estate has established the first major brokerage cryptocurrency division, according to The New York Times. The luxury company has created a dedicated team of lawyers, analysts, and cryptocurrency experts. CEO Aaron Kirman launched the division after completing several high-value cryptocurrency transactions. Previously, a $65 million property in Beverly Hills was sold using digital currency. Kirman’s portfolio now includes more than $1 billion worth of properties that accept cryptocurrencies. Notable properties include the $118 million La Fin mansion and the $17,950,000 Invisible House. Recent regulatory developments support the adoption of crypto real estate. President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act, establishing federal rules for stablecoins. The House of Representatives passed the Clarity Act, providing regulatory protection for the industry. Cryptocurrencies offer greater buyer anonymity than traditional limited liability company structures. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac now consider cryptocurrency investments in mortgage applications. Kirman expects cryptocurrencies to account for one-third of residential transactions within five years. South Korean asset managers withdraw Bitcoin ETF plans due to regulatory resistance Major South Korean asset managers have abandoned Bitcoin investment fund plans due to regulatory sandbox reasons, according to local media reports. Samsung Asset Management, Mirae Asset Global Investments and KB Asset Management explored Bitcoin-focused allocation funds using innovative finance exemptions. The companies sought temporary regulatory relief to include virtual assets as underlying investments. Current capital market laws prohibit cryptocurrencies from being used as underlying assets in funds. Negative feedback from financial authorities in preliminary consultations prompted the voluntary withdrawal. Industry sources said the move was intended to set a precedent for the launch of crypto ETFs in the future. All three companies confirmed that no formal applications had been submitted. The resistance reflects concerns about policy disruptions amid the pending Digital Asset Innovation Act. Authorities stressed maintaining program integrity while comprehensive crypto framework development proceeds. This strategic retreat highlights the agency’s caution in navigating the evolving regulatory environment. Officials expect a systematic virtual asset offering to be launched in the second quarter of 2025, possibly after legislation is completed, suggesting South Korea is taking a cautious approach to crypto market integration. Injective Protocol Tokenizes SharkLink Gaming’s Equity Layer-1 blockchain Injective has launched its Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) platform to tokenize shares of its Ethereum investment firm SharkLink Gaming as its first offering. The tokenized equity is traded on Injective’s on-chain infrastructure under the symbol “$SBET” with real-time functionality. SharkLink Gaming is the second-largest corporate Ethereum holder in the world, according to Strategic Ethereum Reserve. Tokenization represents Injective’s strategy to connect traditional financial markets with decentralized ecosystems. Unlike traditional asset wrapping mechanisms, DAT-based tokenization combines governance rights and multi-chain liquidity integration in addition to trading functionality. The platform supports 24-hour continuous trading, establishing a new liquidity standard for equity-backed digital assets. This development heralds the continued expansion of institutional adoption of blockchain-native financial instruments and demonstrates the practical application of digitizing traditional assets within the DeFi framework.Shigeki Mori contributed
