In a major expansion of on-chain finance, Ondo Finance has partnered with Jupiter to bring over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs to the Solana blockchain. This strategic move, executed through Ondo Global Markets, directly injects Wall Street liquidity into Solana’s decentralized ecosystem, allowing users to trade traditional securities at brokerage prices. The collaboration marks a significant leap in bridging conventional markets with decentralized finance (DeFi), addressing long-standing limitations in liquidity and asset selection for tokenized real-world assets.

Ethereum would continue operating normally even if Bitcoin collapsed due to quantum computing threats, according to Bankless co-founder David Hoffman. His analysis challenges the assumption that all cryptocurrencies would fail if Bitcoin faced cryptographic failure, arguing that Ethereum’s independent architecture and quantum-resistant roadmap position it not just for survival but potential growth in such a scenario.

Global liquidity expert Michael Howell warns that the post-financial crisis ‘everything bubble’ is ending as the global refinancing machine rolls over. Crypto appears late in this cycle rather than at the beginning of a fresh bull market, with liquidity momentum turning negative and creating potential turbulence across risk assets.

The US is accelerating its adoption of Ethereum for tokenizing real-world assets (RWA), with projections suggesting up to $120 trillion in stocks, bonds, and ETFs could migrate on-chain over coming decades. Ethereum’s dominance is clear: it hosts over 75% of the current $29 billion RWA market (excluding stablecoins), with total value locked nearing its 2021 peak at $94 billion. Major institutions like BlackRock are driving this trend, having already launched tokenized funds on Ethereum. The network’s growth metrics—clearing more value than Visa and circulating more dollars than PayPal—underscore its evolution into a digital economy. Ether price reflects this momentum, trading near $4,530 and within 8.5% of its all-time high.
about Ethereum to Anchor $100T US Tokenization DriveEthereum Dominates RWA Tokenization with 57% Market Share
Ethereum has established an unassailable lead in the real-world asset tokenization space, controlling 57% of the total on-chain RWA market value excluding stablecoins, which reaches $28.5 billion. When factoring in Ethereum layer-2 networks and EVM-compatible chains, this dominance surges to 95%. The network hosts over $160 billion in stablecoins—representing 90% of all RWAs—along with $5.2 billion in tokenized Treasuries (70% market share) and $2.4 billion in tokenized gold. Major institutions including BlackRock, Fidelity, and WisdomTree are choosing Ethereum for their tokenized offerings, validating its position as the preferred infrastructure for institutional-grade asset tokenization. This concentration of liquidity creates powerful network effects that further reinforce Ethereum’s leadership position.

Joseph Chalom, co-CEO of Sharplink Gaming, cautions that companies entering the Ether treasury space late may engage in risky yield-chasing behavior to compensate. He draws parallels to traditional finance where investors often pursue marginal yield gains while underestimating risks. Chalom notes that while double-digit yields on Ether are achievable through various strategies, they carry significant exposure to market volatility. Companies holding ETH for treasury purposes could face substantial losses if the cryptocurrency market experiences a downturn, particularly those employing aggressive yield-generation tactics.

An Ethereum developer, pseudonymously known as ‘Fede’s Intern,’ reports being detained in Izmir, Turkey, under accusations of aiding others in misusing the Ethereum blockchain—a charge he vehemently denies. The developer, involved in ZK and Ethereum projects, claims Turkish authorities confined him and threatened legal action, prompting him to seek international assistance. Meanwhile, Turkey has intensified crypto regulations, implementing stricter AML rules and licensing requirements for crypto service providers. The situation raises concerns within the Ethereum community, especially with Istanbul being considered for DevCon 2026.

Turkish authorities detained Ethereum developer Fede’s Intern in Izmir, accusing him of enabling misuse of the blockchain network. The developer denied wrongdoing, stating he would cooperate but warned against criminalizing legitimate development. The incident follows Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm’s conviction, fueling concerns over increasing legal pressures on crypto builders. Industry figures like Ryan Sean Adams and Rasit Tavus questioned the motives behind the arrest, with speculation about international involvement. The case has cast doubt on Turkey’s suitability for Ethereum’s Devcon 2026.

Ethereum’s price has reclaimed momentum, climbing above $3,400 for the first time since mid-January, posting a 9% gain in 24 hours. The rally follows a 150% surge since April, far outpacing Bitcoin’s 65% rise, signaling growing risk appetite among traders. Analysts attribute ETH’s strength to fundamental factors, including institutional interest, ETF inflows ($726M in a single day), and its role in DeFi innovations like stablecoins and tokenization. Altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Cardano have also rallied, with Coinglass’s Altcoin Season Index hitting its highest since February. Predictions suggest ETH could reach $4,000–$5,000 by year-end, with long-term targets as high as $15,800 by 2028.
about Ethereum Surges Past $3,400, Sparking Altcoin Season BuzzEthereum Surges 20% to $2,200 Amid Pectra Upgrade
Ethereum’s price skyrocketed 20% in 24 hours, hitting $2,234—its best performance since 2021—driven by the Pectra upgrade going live on May 7. The upgrade slashed ETH’s annual inflation from 0.7% to -0.5%, making it deflationary again, while daily burn rates doubled. Analysts, including MMCrypto, now see a bullish path to $3,700, citing reduced supply pressures. Ethereum also dominates tokenization (58% market share) and stablecoins (55%), positioning it as a leader in real-world asset adoption. The surge liquidated $280M in shorts, signaling strong momentum.

Tron founder Justin Sun has publicly declared he will not sell his substantial Ethereum (ETH) holdings, despite ETH’s steep decline to $1,585—down 67.56% from its all-time high. Sun, who holds around 665,000 ETH (worth nearly $1 billion), emphasized his long-term belief in Ethereum and expressed interest in collaborating with its developers. His stance comes amid growing criticism of Ethereum’s leadership and declining network activity, with active addresses dropping over 11% year-over-year. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s transaction fees have hit a five-year low, and whales have offloaded 143,000 ETH in a week, adding to bearish pressure. Derivatives markets show mixed signals, with trading volume down but options activity rising slightly, suggesting some hedging for volatility.

Jesse Pollak, the creator of Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network Base, faced significant backlash after sharing a GIF containing controversial phrases like ‘Base is for pimping.’ While Pollak clarified he didn’t create the GIF and apologized, calling it a ‘mistake,’ the crypto community criticized the content as vulgar and harmful to the industry’s reputation. This follows another recent controversy involving Base’s tokenized post on Zora, which some accused of being a memecoin with market manipulation. Pollak defended the concept of ‘content coins’ but acknowledged the community pushback, emphasizing Base’s mission to expand token use cases. The incident highlights ongoing challenges in balancing creative expression with responsible messaging in crypto.
