EAST WEST When RWAs Meet Trading Infrastructure
2025 doesn’t pit TradFi against crypto; it connects them. The West tokenizes capital-market assets (Treasuries, money market funds, private credit) and looks for utility beyond carry.
Asia remains the hub of liquidity and product iteration. BounceBit sits in the middle and speaks both languages. For portfolios, the consequence is tangible: RWAs are no longer museum pieces; they become functional collateral deployable in on-chain strategies.
Token denominated yield in BTC/ETH/BNB/SOL makes sense via basis trades and restaking without over-engineering. The East/West time-zone spread adds operational resilience: when one side sleeps, the other works.
A barbell approach fits well: on one side stable Treasury-backed yields, on the other a rules-based pocket for staking/restaking/DeFi. Rebalance by calendar, not by headlines. Let geography work for you, not against you.
