GEOPOLITICS | South Korea Protests Japan's 'Takeshima Day' EventSouth Korea has issued a strong protest against Japan's 'Takeshima Day' event held in Shimane Prefecture, according to Jin10. On February 22, the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged Japan to immediately cease the event, which it views as a challenge to South Korea's sovereignty over the disputed territory known as Dokdo in Korea and Takeshima in Japan. In a statement released by the ministry's spokesperson, South Korea emphasized that Dokdo is unequivocally part of its territory based on historical, geographical, and international law grounds. The ministry called on the Japanese government to halt its unreasonable claims over the territory. The dispute over the islands has been a longstanding issue between the two nations, affecting diplomatic relations. The South Korean government continues to assert its ownership of the islands, which are located in the Sea of Japan, and has maintained a small police detachment there to reinforce its claim.

Dubai Real Estate Tokenization Enters Secondary Market Phase With 7.8 Million Tokens Now Up for T...
TLDR:

Dubai’s real estate tokenization enters Phase Two, putting 7.8 million tokens up for regulated secondary market trading.

Ctrl Alt and DLD built a controlled trading framework to test market efficiency while protecting investor interests and governance.

ARVA management tokens and ownership tokens work together on-chain to create one immutable record of property ownership.

All Phase Two transactions settle on the XRP Ledger, secured by Ripple Custody within Dubai’s regulated digital asset framework.

Real estate tokenization in Dubai has reached a new milestone. Ctrl Alt and the Dubai Land Department (DLD) have launched Phase Two of their Real Estate Tokenization Project Pilot.

This phase introduces controlled secondary market trading for tokenized property assets. The move follows a successful pilot that tokenized ten properties worth over $5 million.

Around 7.8 million tokens issued during the first phase are now eligible for resale within a regulated trading environment.

Secondary Market Trading Opens Under Regulated Framework

Phase Two creates a structured environment for investors to trade tokenized real estate assets. Trading takes place on the project’s distribution platform, keeping transactions aligned with existing land registry processes. All on-chain activity continues to run on the XRP Ledger and is secured by Ripple Custody.

The Dubai Land Department and Ctrl Alt designed the secondary market to test market efficiency and operational readiness.

Thrilled to see Phase Two launch for Dubai @Land_Department Real Estate Tokenization Project! Building on the pilot, controlled secondary market trading is now live for tokenized properties on the XRP Ledger, secured by @Ripple Custody via our partner @CtrlAltCo

This is massive…

— Reece Merrick (@reece_merrick) February 20, 2026

Governance structures and investor protections remain central to the framework’s design. This approach ensures trading activity stays within regulatory boundaries set by VARA.

Ctrl Alt serves as the tokenization infrastructure partner for the project. The firm minted and issued the original title deed ownership tokens during Phase One. Now, it is deploying the secondary market functionality for Phase Two operations.

Robert Farquhar, CEO, MENA at Ctrl Alt, spoke about what the phase represents for Dubai’s digital asset landscape:

“We’re proud to work with the Dubai Land Department and VARA on Phase Two of the project, demonstrating what is possible when governments and institutional-grade innovation come together to build market-leading digital rails. Secondary market trading is essential to that outcome.”

Dual Token Framework Supports Smooth Fractional Ownership

For Phase Two, Ctrl Alt will issue Asset-Referenced Virtual Asset (ARVA) management tokens. These tokens facilitate regulated secondary-market transfers alongside the original ownership tokens. Both token types are recorded on-chain, creating one immutable ownership record.

Ctrl Alt engineered a technical framework to support the dual operation of ARVA management tokens and ownership tokens on-chain. This structure handles the complexity behind the scenes.

Distribution platforms like PRYPCO can then deliver fractional real estate experiences without building their own tokenization infrastructure.

Matt Acheson, CPO at Ctrl Alt, described the engineering approach behind the system:

“Our goal was to build a secondary market infrastructure that is efficient for the entire ecosystem while maintaining the controls and governance required by the DLD and VARA. We manage the underlying complexity of this tokenization technology so that distribution platforms can deliver smooth, fractional real estate experiences to their end users.”

Ctrl Alt holds a licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider status and was the first firm to receive an Issuer license from VARA.

The company additionally holds a Broker-Dealer license, strengthening its position to support regulated token transfers.

These credentials allow Ctrl Alt to operate within Dubai’s formal digital asset framework while supporting government-led real estate innovation.

Election-Based ETFs Proposed to Trade Political RiskSeveral firms have submitted proposals to establish exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on binary event contracts linked to U.S. election outcomes. According to NS3.AI, these ETFs are designed to enable investors to trade political risk similarly to stocks. The initiative aims to integrate election odds into mainstream brokerage platforms, thereby expanding access and liquidity. However, this development also raises regulatory concerns. The integration of such ETFs could transition political betting from niche markets to widely accessible financial products, potentially influencing market behavior and altering crypto-related political risk hedging.

Bitcoin's Potential for Growth in the Coming MonthsEconomist and Cane Island Investment Advisor Timothy Peterson recently shared insights on Bitcoin's performance. According to PANews, Peterson noted that Bitcoin has achieved positive returns in 50% of the months over the past two years, suggesting an 88% probability of price increases in the next 10 months. He forecasts an average return of 82%, with Bitcoin potentially reaching a price of $122,000. Peterson explained that his informal indicator tracks Bitcoin cycles by counting the number of months with positive returns over the past 24 months. While this indicator measures frequency rather than magnitude, it remains useful for identifying turning points. He also mentioned that even if Bitcoin trades sideways in the coming months, the indicator might decline.

Trump raises global tariff rate to 15%, but crypto markets are unfazed
United States President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he is raising the 10% global tariff rate announced on Friday to 15%, which will take effect immediately. 

Trump reiterated his criticism of the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down his authority to levy tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In a Saturday Truth Social post, he said:

“As President of the United States of America, I will be, effective immediately, raising the 10% worldwide tariff on countries, many of which have been ‘ripping’ the US off for decades, without retribution, until I came along, to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level.”

On Friday, Trump announced a 10% global tariff rate to be added on top of already existing tariffs that remained valid after the court ruling, under alternative legal statutes outlined in the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Trade Act of 1974.

However, pro-crypto attorney Adam Cochran said the scope of these laws also limits Trump’s authority to levy broad tariffs indefinitely.

“The law he is using only allows this to be on countries we have a deficit with, for a set period of 150 days, and at a capped percentage,” he said. 

Each new tariff announcement from Trump caused turmoil in the crypto and stock markets, with severe downturns that negatively impacted asset prices and fueled macroeconomic uncertainty among investors.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) held steady at the $68,000 level, and Ether (ETH) also remained firm, showing little to no change since Friday when the new tariffs were announced.

The Total3 indicator, which tracks the entire market capitalization of the crypto sector, excluding BTC and ETH, fell by less than 1% on Saturday and remains at about $713 billion at the time of this writing.

US lawmakers critical of Trump tariffs, say it will derail economy
The tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump and the 10% global tariff announced by Trump on Friday have drawn critical reactions from US lawmakers, Washington, DC-based think tanks and attorneys. 

US Senator Rand Paul said that the Trump tariffs are a tax increase on “working families and small businesses,” characterizing them as a net negative on the economy.

“Those tariffs weren’t about security — they were a tax on families and small businesses to bankroll a reckless trade war,” US Congressperson Ro Khanna said. 

Source: Rep. Ro Khanna

On Friday, the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) struck down Trump’s authority to levy tariffs under the IEEPA, which Trump responded to by announcing new 10% global tariffs.

Scott Lincicome, Vice President of Cato’s Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies, a Washington DC-based think tank, was also critical of the tariffs. In comments shared with Cointelegraph, he said:

“Even without IEEPA, other US laws and the Trump administration’s repeated promises all but ensure that much higher tariffs will remain the norm, damaging the economy and foreign relations in the process.”

Trump’s tariffs typically had a negative impact on crypto markets and other risk-on assets. However, crypto prices stayed relatively stable amid the most recent round of tariffs, with Bitcoin’s (BTC) price rising by about 3% after the announcement.
