Qubic, the decentralized compute and AI Layer 1 protocol, has achieved a major technical milestone with the successful demonstration of its Useful Proof of Work (uPoW) concept, leveraging Monero (XMR) and Tari merge mining to fuel its token economy and redefine mining profitability.
Technical Breakthrough in Useful Proof of Work
Qubic has proven that its computing power can be harnessed for practical tasks—in this case, Monero mining—validating a real-world proof of concept for Useful Proof of Work. This breakthrough lays the foundation for future AI and compute use cases that utilize idle CPU resources across a distributed network, positioning Qubic as a pioneer in delivering real yield from useful tasks.
Explosive Mining Growth
Originally launched via Nanopool, Qubic’s mining operation quickly exceeded the pool’s capacity, prompting a shift to solo mining. Since May 18, Qubic’s contribution has surged from a peak of under 2% to over 10% of Monero’s global hashrate—an astonishing rise that continues to trend upward. [See full data: www.qubic-xmr-stats.streamlit.app]

Unmatched Profitability for Miners
Qubic doesn’t just champion decentralization—it rewards it. In epoch 163, Qubic miners generated $14.20 profit in just seven days, making $Qubic the most profitable coin to mine. Compared to Monero and Tari, Qubic leads in daily profit per CPU:
Qubic: $3.13/day (Qli pool)Tari: ~$1.65/day (merge mined)Monero: $0.64/day
Currently, the profit remains stable above $2 per day for a 7950X CPU, which means over 50% more profit compared to mining XMR and Tari individually.
Game-Changing Tokenomics
All Monero and Tari rewards mined by the Qubic network are converted into USDT, used to buy QUBIC tokens on the open market, and then burned. This mechanism ties network activity and real-world utility to QUBIC token scarcity, increasing the degree of deflationary model.
“Qubic’s uPoW turns mining into a deflationary engine: every XMR and Tari reward is sold for USDT, buys QUBIC, and is burned. With our hashrate climbing past 10% of Monero’s, we’re rapidly approaching a new era of decentralized compute value.”- Alberto Fernandez, Head of Qubic Ecosystem & Partnerships

Looking Ahead
With Useful Proof of Work (uPoW) validated through real-world Monero mining, Qubic is entering a new phase of growth. The team is actively expanding uPoW applications beyond mining, including distributed AI training, selling computing power to companies, and autonomous agent infrastructure. As the network scales, Qubic aims to create a future where everyday computing contributes to intelligent, decentralized systems designed for global impact.
About Qubic
Qubic is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain, verified by CertiK as the Fastest Blockchain in the World. Designed for real-time decentralized compute, Qubic is powered by uPoW and a tick-based consensus mechanism, enabling zero-fee transactions, instant finality, and unmatched throughput. Qubic unlocks scalable infrastructure for the next wave of innovation across AI, DePIN, DeFi, and AGI-level applications.

Real AI. Real Trades. Real Results.
In a market that moves by the second, Cortextrade.io offers more than just automation - it delivers an edge. By giving users access to advanced crypto trading bots powered by artificial intelligence, the platform turns volatility into opportunity and data into profit.
What Is Cortextrade.io?
Cortex Trade is a next-generation algorithmic trading platform built for both crypto newcomers and seasoned traders looking for smarter, more efficient ways to grow their capital. It uses state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning techniques to execute trades automatically, eliminating emotion and guesswork.
These bots don’t just follow price trends - they learn, adapt, and evolve.
How the AI Bots Work
Cortextrade’s core strength lies in its ensemble AI model - a powerful combination of multiple deep learning architectures, including:

- TCN (Temporal Convolutional Networks) for sequence modeling
- CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) for pattern recognition in price charts
- LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) for capturing long-term dependencies in time series data
- XGBoost for high-performance predictive modeling
- K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) for clustering assets by volatility
- Hidden Markov Models (HMM) for identifying profitable market regimes
These models work together to analyze 15-minute candlestick data across 1000+ days, identifying complex market patterns in ETH/USDT and beyond. The ensemble approach resulted in a 983+% ROI in backtesting, a staggering number that highlights the bot's potential - though not a guaranteed outcome.
What Data the AI Uses
Cortextrade’s AI doesn’t just rely on charts. It pulls from a broad spectrum of real-time and historical data:
- Price action and technical indicators
- News sentiment analysis using NLP to monitor global headlines
- Blockchain analytics, including smart contract behavior
- Wallet tracking, especially for crypto whales and institutional players
This multi-layered data pipeline gives the bots a comprehensive view of the market - from macro events to micro wallet movements.
Real Performance, Real Markets
While backtests show promise, Cortextrade’s bots have also proven themselves in live test environments. Starting with as little as $20 per trade and scaling to $100,000 in capital, the bots were able to generate consistent profits over a 7-day real market test - with disciplined risk management and no over-optimization.
Built by Traders, Refined by Data
The development of Cortextrade.io is the result of years of research and real trading experience. From early rule-based strategies using RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands to today's deep learning-driven ensemble system, the journey has been marked by relentless iteration and a refusal to settle.
Every improvement, every model tweak, and every performance gain was built on the core belief: smart algorithms, used with patience and discipline, can compound wealth over time.
Final Word
Cortextrade isn’t hype. It’s a system built on research, powered by AI, and tested in the real world. Whether you're just entering the world of crypto or looking to supercharge your existing strategy with advanced automation — this is your edge.
Start smarter. Trade better. Cortextrade.

Dubai, UAE, June 2, 2025
Under the shimmering lights of the Dubai World Trade Centre, CryptoExpo Dubai 2025 became more than a gathering of blockchain enthusiasts—it became a stage for global transformation. At its center stood Victor Sandoval, CEO of blockchain trailblazer EvianCX, unveiling a bold vision that marries decentralized finance (DeFi) with financial inclusion across continents.
Fresh off transformative successes in Latin America, Sandoval announced EvianCX’s official expansion into the Middle East, introducing a dynamic strategy to harness blockchain’s potential for economic empowerment in the region.
@ CEO Victor Sandoval and Xavier George from Yellow Card Financial
Sandoval’s presence electrified the CryptoExpo audience, tracing a journey that began in countries like the United States, British Virgin Islands and Latin America—nations where EvianCX has already redefined access to financial tools. “In Latin America, we saw the power of blockchain to uplift the unbanked,” Sandoval said. “Now we’re bringing that same energy to the Middle East.”
With passion and precision, he detailed EvianCX’s suite of innovations: tokenized asset frameworks that enable fast, transparent cross-border investments; secure, user-friendly DeFi platforms for lending, staking, and saving; and an approach to compliance that fuses legal rigor with technological resilience.
“When we decentralize finance, we democratize opportunity,” he told a packed audience of regulators, technologists, and investors. “This isn’t about crypto hype—it’s about financial justice.”
Dubai: The Next Frontier
EvianCX’s expansion into Dubai signals more than the opening of a new office—it marks a strategic leap into one of the world’s most forward-thinking tech ecosystems. At CryptoExpo, he unveiled a multipronged regional roadmap that includes Arabic-language blockchain education—ranging from interactive workshops to business-focused tutorials—to build foundational tech literacy; localized digital wallets designed to align with the regulatory and cultural nuances of the Middle East, enabling users to manage digital assets with ease and confidence.
Moreover, his company’s blockchain-based remittance tools are aimed at revolutionizing cross-border money transfers by dramatically reducing transaction costs and delays. “True inclusion starts with education and evolves through equitable tools.,” Sandoval said. “We’re building the tools, the trust, and the training.

Policy, Partnerships, and the Path Forward
CryptoExpo Dubai wasn’t just about showcasing tech—it was about shaping policy. Sandoval joined high-level panels on regulatory synergy, stressing the need for frameworks that protect consumers while enabling innovation. “Trust in DeFi doesn’t come from code alone—it comes from compliance,” he noted.
EvianCX’s model of compliance-focused innovation, developed in collaboration with policy makers across Latin America, will now be adapted to the Middle Eastern context. “We’re not here to disrupt for disruption’s sake. We’re here to co-create,” Sandoval said.
Impact at the Grassroots: Empowering Everyday Lives
At the heart of EvianCX’s mission lies a commitment to grassroots empowerment—transforming blockchain from a buzzword into a lifeline. During his participation at CryptoExpo Dubai 2025, Victor Sandoval shared compelling case studies where blockchain has delivered real-world impact. In these communities, local shopkeepers now accept stablecoin payments through EvianCX wallets, farmers use DeFi savings accounts to hedge against crop cycles, and small business owners leverage tokenized microloans to expand operations without traditional banking barriers. These are not abstract use cases—they are lived realities. Sandoval emphasized that the lessons learned from these hyper-local deployments are shaping the company’s approach to the Middle East, where millions remain underbanked despite high mobile and internet penetration.
Building Bridges, Not Just Blockchains
 “Financial inclusion isn’t about charity—it’s about access, autonomy, and agency,” he noted. As part of its Dubai strategy, EvianCX is forming regional alliances with NGOs, fintech incubators, and Islamic finance experts to ensure solutions are both scalable and culturally resonant. “Our innovation doesn’t end at the protocol layer—it reaches into the daily lives of users,” Sandoval said. By embedding financial literacy and trust into every interface, EvianCX aims to create a lasting ecosystem where underserved populations can save, invest, and grow—securely and independently. As Sandoval put it, “Inclusion is not an endpoint—it’s the foundation of everything we build.”
“From Latin America to the United States, from the British Virgin Islands to the Emirates—we’re contributing to a global future where finance empowers people, not just profits,” Sandoval said. “Dubai turns ambition into action, and we’re honored to help shape that vision.”
With Sandoval at the helm, EvianCX is redefining what it means to lead in the blockchain era: not by chasing trends, but by building bridges—between the banked and the unbanked, the centralized and the decentralized, and today’s limits and tomorrow’s promise.
As the event concluded, one message rang clear: EvianCX is more than a technology company—it’s a movement for financial empowerment.

StorX Network, a leading DePIN (decentralized cloud storage) platform, has announced a new integration enabling users to backup data from ChatGPT OpenAI directly to StorX using the automation tool, n8n. This integration allows developers and enterprises working with OpenAI’s APIs to securely and automatically store AI-generated content, model outputs, and usage logs on a decentralized infrastructure.
With artificial intelligence increasingly embedded in everyday business workflows, the volume of sensitive, high-value data generated by models like ChatGPT and GPT-4 continues to grow.

This ensures enhanced data resilience, privacy, and sovereignty—critical features for teams handling proprietary AI outputs or regulated datasets.
By combining StorX with n8n’s flexible automation framework, the integration bridges two growing user communities: AI developers seeking reliable, scalable storage solutions, and Web3 users demanding decentralized, censorship-resistant alternatives to Big Tech cloud ecosystems.
“As AI tools like OpenAI become foundational to digital operations, the need for secure, decentralized, and compliant storage has never been more urgent,” said Murphy John, COO at StorX Network. “This integration marks a step forward in giving users full custody of their AI data—without compromising on performance or accessibility.”
Marking a significant milestone, the ChatGPT integration is StorX Network’s 50th major partnership, reflecting the platform’s rapid growth and commitment to expanding its decentralized ecosystem. Following a series of impactful collaborations over recent months, this integration further cements StorX’s position as a leading decentralized storage provider, delivering innovative solutions that bridge AI technology and Web3 principles worldwide.
The announcement also underscores a broader movement toward composable Web3 infrastructure, where open tools like n8n enable interoperability between cutting-edge technologies. With growing concerns around data ownership and privacy in centralized systems, the StorX-OpenAI integration offers a meaningful alternative that aligns with the principles of user empowerment and decentralized control. 
This integration is now available to all users globally.

New York, NY, May 15, 2025
Former NBA champion and globally recognized public welfare advocate Lamar Odom has officially announced the launch of a groundbreaking Web3 project—an anti-addiction-themed meme coin, issued on the Solana blockchain. More than just a cryptocurrency, this initiative represents a revolutionary integration of blockchain transparency and global social good.
The project is jointly supported by Nasdaq-listed company Alpha Technology Group Limited (NASDAQ: ATGL) and other aligned institutions, aiming to build the world’s first "blockchain-driven philanthropy" model.
Odom stated on X: “I’ve looked death in the face and battled addiction to earn a second chance at life. Today, I hope to use the power of Web3 to help others find theirs.”
Mission-Driven Token Model
The coin has a total supply of 300 trillion tokens, with a fully transparent allocation plan:
5%: Ongoing support for global drug rehab centers and mental health education, unlocked when market cap reaches $10 billion;5%: Allocated to Lamar Odom personally, with a strict vesting schedule until the market cap hits $15 billion, demonstrating long-term commitment;10%: Incentives for early LP providers to enhance market depth and liquidity;20%: Special allocation for the “Trump Dinner Program,” where users stake TRUMP tokens via smart contracts, receive 100% of their tokens back, plus the coin airdrop;60%: Fully circulating in the open market—no lock-up, no reserves—to support healthy early-stage trading.
A Breakthrough in Meme Coin Utility
Unlike traditional meme coins, which often rely on hype with no intrinsic value, this coin introduces financial innovation:
Backed by Real Assets:
It is paired with the yield-generating stablecoin $USDO, injecting real U.S. dollar-backed value into the ecosystem. This creates long-term financial logic for holding.
Social Good Meets Finance:
The coin is the world’s first meme coin focused on anti-addiction and rehabilitation. It’s not just images and hype—it’s about using Web3 transparency to power real-world impact.
Upgraded Community Mechanics:
The “Trump Dinner Program” uses decentralized smart contracts for staking and rewards. Participants maintain full asset safety and receive extra token airdrops, offering controlled risk with shared rewards.
Regulatory Transparency:
Amid global regulatory scrutiny, the coin team pledges full-chain transparency. All mechanism documents and audit reports will be made public, and legal compliance will be pursued globally, setting a new trust standard in the meme coin space.
Industry insiders believe the coin has the potential to create a value-driven paradigm shift in the meme coin sector, reshaping perceptions and offering a new blueprint for Web3-powered philanthropy.
Compliance and Global Expansion
The Odom team is working closely with international law firms to apply for licenses across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring full regulatory compliance. Plans are underway to launch a cryptocurrency exchange in Dubai as the core issuance platform for $USDO, reinforcing the ecosystem's foundation.
Odom has secured an invitation to Trump’s banquet and will be attending the event with his meme coin.
About Lamar Odom and the Project
Lamar Odom is a former NBA champion and globally recognized advocate for addiction recovery and mental health awareness. Through his personal journey of overcoming adversity, Odom has become a powerful voice for change. The project reflects his commitment to using technology for good—leveraging blockchain innovation to promote transparency, drive real-world impact, and pioneer a new model of philanthropy in Web3. Backed by Alpha Technology Group (NASDAQ: ATGL) and a coalition of aligned partners, token is redefining what meme coins can achieve.

OAE, Dubai, April 28, 2025
What happens when you remove the middlemen, the gatekeepers, and the corporate filters — and let the Web3 community lead?
You get CoinFerenceX Dubai.
On April 28, 2025, Dubai became the epicenter of a global shift. More than 2,500 founders, investors, creators, and rebels came together for something the industry had never seen before: a summit built by the community, for the community.
No sponsored stages. No fluff. No hierarchy.

Just raw conversations, real products, and a collective mission — to decentralize the summit of the decentralized world.

Backed by Visionaries. Built with Purpose.
This movement was fueled by the boldest players in Web3 — each one shaping the future in their own right:
DecentDAO launched a platform to “tokenize everything” — a no-code, end-to-end stack that makes launching DAOs and tokens as easy as signing a transaction. With $DCNT at its core, Decent is rewriting the rules of on-chain entrepreneurship.Trustwise Bank is architecting the bridge between TradFi and Web3. With Swiss-grade security, compliant rails, and digital custody, Trustwise is what decentralized finance has been waiting for: infrastructure you can trust.Whale isn’t building games. They’re building an entire financial playground.

Dubai, UAE, Monday, May 5, 2025
The inaugural edition of Unchained Summit, an event by Aeternum was hosted at Kempinski Central Avenue in Dubai on 28th and 29th April, wrapping up two fast-paced days of high-impact discussions, paradigm-breaking insights, and impactful community engagement; positioning itself among the most forward-thinking events in the global Web 3.0 calendar.
Purpose-built for a new era of Web 3.0, blockchain, digital assets, and AI integration, the summit convened 500+ industry leaders, 75+ speakers, and a blend of innovators, investors, developers, and policy makers from over 40 countries in one room. More than just another conference, the summit was built as a strategic platform where breakthrough projects connect with builders, traditional finance meets Web 3.0, and thought leaders come together for deep knowledge sharing, collaboration, and meaningful ecosystem growth.
A Platform for Visionary Thinking
The speaker line-up featured some of the most respected names in the ecosystem. Some of the speakers delivering thought-provoking keynotes and engaging in high-intensity panel sessions included:
Ronghui Gu, Co-Founder, CertiK, USAKostas Chalkias, Co-Founder and Chief Cryptographer, Mysten Labs & Sui, UAESreeram Kannan, Founder & CEO, EigenLayer, USAMay Zabaneh, VP of Product - Blockchain, Crypto & Digital Currencies, PayPal, USAGreg Scanlon, VP Quantitative Blockchain, Franklin Templeton Digital Assets, USAKeone Hon, Co-Founder, Monad Foundation, USALennix Lai, Global Chief Commercial Officer, OKX, Hong KongYat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, Animoca Brands, Hong KongAlex Murashkin, Chief Security Officer, Quantstamp, DubaiAnantha Krishnan, Founder MOI NETWORK, USAAbhijit Shukla, Founder, TAN Blockchain, India, among others
Topics ranged from the future of stablecoins and high-performance blockchain scalability, to the convergence of AI and Web 3.0, decentralized infrastructure (DePIN), tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and the upcoming institutional adoption wave in crypto finance. Each session offered actionable takeaways; whether from emerging investment trends or forays into the future of decentralized compute and sovereign infrastructure. During discussions held over the course of the two days, interoperability, user-first design, and regulatory ease were repeatedly cited as the drivers of Web 3.0's optimal potential.
“Even though Web 3.0 is already a US$ 2–3 trillion industry, it’s still relatively small compared to traditional markets. That’s why gatherings like Unchained Summit are so important—they help us connect, collaborate, and build stronger alignment across the ecosystem,”  said Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, Animoca Brands, Hong Kong.
“Events like Unchained Summit play a crucial role in fostering true community building within the ecosystem,” said Sreeram Kannan, Founder & CEO, EigenLayer (USA).
A Global Community, Connected
Besides content on stage, the summit was also worth it for the impromptu networking that was done via private lounges, brand activations, afterparty, and VIP meetups. A wide range of VCs, blockchain founders, solution providers, and government officials used the chance to share their roadmap, establish new partnerships, and share deal flow in an open setting.
“Unchained Summit plays a vital role in strengthening the Web 3.0 ecosystem. While builders often work in silos, gatherings like this bring us closer; fostering real connections and collaboration. In many ways, the conversations that follow the event are even more critical and impactful,” said Kostas Chalkias, Co-Founder and Chief Cryptographer, Mysten Labs & Sui, UAE.
“Unchained Summit was incredible. It brought together creators, innovators, and capital allocators, not just to discuss the big issues shaping Web 3.0, but to actually do business and drive the space forward,” Jason P. Allegrante, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, Fireblocks (USA) was found quoting.
Built for the Builders
From the outset, Unchained Summit was intended to put builders in the spotlight — not brands. The agenda was created with input from real players in the blockchain space, allowing formats to diverge from traditional one-way keynotes to include engaging fireside chats, panel debates, and networking sessions.
Specifically, the conference concentrated on the "next frontier" — like scaling decentralized infrastructure, unlocking modular AI agents, and creating the groundwork for tokenized financial products. These weren't abstract discussions, but straight shoot-from-the-hip talks with people shipping code, keeping risk at bay, and pushing adoption on the streets.
“Unchained Summit made a rare, strong debut on the global Web 3.0 circuit. With a standout speaker lineup featuring leaders from PayPal, Animoca, and Ripple, the event delivered sharp, relevant insights. A powerful start to Dubai’s Crypto Week; full of open minds, fresh ideas, and meaningful conversations.” said Alena Afanaseva, Founder & CEO, BeInCrypto, Argentina.
"Dubai was the perfect backdrop to launch this movement. What we saw over these two days was a genuine hunger for dialogue that is not hype — people came here to engage, not merely attend. We look forward to continuing this success again in Dubai and India later this year," said Sharath Kumar, Founder and CEO at Aeternum, the organisers of Unchained Summit.
What's Next
With the success of the Dubai edition, Aeternum has announced two upcoming editions of Unchained Summit in 2025:
Unchained Summit in Dubai, UAE on 30th and 31st October, 2025Unchained Summit in Bangalore, India on 5th & 6th December, 2025
Both editions will amplify the event’s emphasis on building Web 3.0 communities, inclusive economies, and connecting the Web 3.0 world with real-world economies. Startups, investors, protocols, and policy makers across Asia, MENA, and Europe are expected to attend.
Unchained Summit’s official sponsors include:
Platinum Sponsors: Mesh and OwnAfterparty Sponsor: ConsciousnessGold Sponsors: KoinBX, MOI Technology, and TAN BlockchainSilver Sponsors: AEON, BTSE, Mantle Network, f(x) Protocol, and Kite AIBronze Sponsors: BlockchainX, Gresham International, EcoTrader, Threshold, and PiggycellAssociate Partner: OpenLedgerOfficial Media Partner: Coin Edition

WiseCryptoNews has unveiled its platform built to track the most important developments across digital assets, offering readers a clearer view of shifting sentiment in real time. With the The XRP ETF approval debate heating up, the need for sharper insight into how crypto markets, narratives, and regulation cannot be over emphasized.
Case in point: decentralized prediction platform Polymarket now puts the odds of a spot XRP ETF gaining SEC approval by the end of 2025 at 79%, up from 65% just a few weeks ago. The jump reflects growing optimism in the asset’s regulatory outlook and renewed momentum across the broader altcoin ETF conversation.
XRP ETF Approval Odds Jump to 79% as Market Confidence Grows
Polymarket’s data shows this confidence hasn’t wavered much recently. Over the last 24 hours, the forecast has stayed in a tight range between 77% and 79%, suggesting that market participants see a real possibility of the XRP ETF becoming a reality before the year is out. This optimism is part of a broader trend in 2025, where interest in altcoin ETFs is climbing alongside improvements in regulatory clarity.

XRP ETF approval odds. Source: Polymarket
One major factor fueling this momentum is the developing relationship between Ripple Labs and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In March 2025, the SEC officially dropped its longstanding lawsuit against Ripple, removing a major legal overhang that had clouded XRP’s future for years. With that out of the way, attention has shifted to the potential launch of a regulated XRP ETF — a move that would allow both institutional and retail investors to gain exposure to XRP through traditional financial markets.
While a spot XRP ETF hasn’t been approved yet, there has been significant movement on the futures side. The SEC recently signed off on three XRP futures-based ETFs from ProShares: the Ultra XRP ETF (2x leverage), Short XRP ETF (-1x leverage), and Ultra Short XRP ETF (-2x leverage). However, despite initial reports of an April 30 launch, ProShares clarified there was no ETF rollout on that date. The firm has since filed an update proposing May 14, as the new target — though this remains tentative and dependent on final SEC approval.
It's important to note that futures-based ETFs don’t offer direct exposure to XRP itself. Instead, they track price movements through contracts, which can be useful for short-term speculation but lack the direct market linkage that spot ETFs provide. A spot XRP ETF would hold the underlying asset, offering a clearer and potentially less volatile route for long-term investors.
Several major asset managers, including Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise, and WisdomTree, have pending applications for spot XRP ETFs. The SEC recently delayed its decision on Franklin Templeton’s application to June 17, a procedural move that analysts say is common and not necessarily a sign of rejection.
As interest builds, analysts are weighing in on what an XRP ETF could mean for the market. Standard Chartered has projected that a US-based XRP ETF could attract as much as $8.3 billion in inflows, potentially driving XRP’s price to $8 by 2026.
“Of the US spot ETFs approved so far, NAV as a percentage of market cap is 3% for Ethereum and just under 6% for Bitcoin. At current XRP market cap, that would imply a range of $4.4 billion to $8.3 billion as a future total NAV measure for an XRP ETF, which seems like a reasonable target range for inflows in the first 12 months,” Standard Chartered’s head of digital assets research Geoff Kendrick said.

On the other hand, analysts at Bitfinex are more cautious, suggesting that while an XRP ETF would be a major step, inflows might not match those seen with Bitcoin ETFs due to broader investor preferences.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $2.20, with a 24-hour trading volume of $2.14 billion. Though the token’s price has dipped slightly in the last day, the market remains focused on regulatory cues. The SEC’s next closed meeting is set for May 8, and speculation is mounting that further updates on Ripple or the XRP ETF applications could emerge from it.
All signs point to a shifting landscape for crypto ETFs in the US. While the final word on a spot XRP ETF is still pending, the odds — both in the market and among analysts — continue to move in its favor.

Asset tokenization is revolutionizing ownership and investment in todays evolving financial landscape. Blockchain technology makes it possible for people to access marketplaces that were traditionally inaccessible. Tokenization opens up new possibilities for investors by enabling fractional ownership of everything from art to real estate
BlockchainX is a leading blockchain solutions provider that offers safe, scalable & innovative apps that enhance transparency, traceability & efficiency. BlockchainX unveils its digital transformation success. Asset tokenization is changing industries and its possible benefits and the opportunities for a more transparent and effective financial system in the future. BlockchainX is a pioneer in designing an effective asset tokenization platform 
Asset Tokenization—What Is It?
The process of converting ownership of tangible assets—like stocks, bonds, real estate or even artwork—into digital tokens on a blockchain is known as Asset Tokenization. These tokens can be bought, sold or exchanged on the blockchain networks and represent a portion of the underlying asset’s ownership or interest. 
The key benefit of asset tokenization is that it increases liquidity and opens up investing in traditionally illiquid assets to a wider spectrum of investors. Investors can buy and sell smaller amounts of tokenized assets as they are frequently fractionalized which reduces entry barriers 
Blockchain technology records and verifies transactions in a decentralized manner making tokenization transparent, secure and easier to transfer data
How Asset Tokenization Is Revolutionizing Traditional Finance
Asset Tokenization is transforming traditional financial services by opening up new avenues for efficiency, accessibility and liquidity.  
Enhanced Liquidity 
Tokenization is the process of turning traditionally illiquid assets—such as art and real estate—into digital tokens that allow trading 
Fractional Ownership 
Tokenization reduces investment barriers by enabling users to own smaller amounts of high value assets. 
Transparency & Security 
Blockchain reduces fraud and increases trust by ensuring that all transactions are transparent and safe 
Global Accessibility 
Global investors can access tokenized assets, removing institutional and geographic restrictions 
Efficiency and Cost Reduction 
Tokenization removes middlemen, which cut costs and expedites transactions by automating them 
Smart Contracts 
Smart contracts speed up transactions and reduce the possibility of errors by executing conditions automatically 
New Investment Products 
Tokenization expands financial options by generating new investment opportunities, such as tokenized debt and commodities 
Real-World Examples of Tokenized Assets
Here are a few real-world uses of tokenized assets from various industries 
Real Estate – Aspen Coin
Aspen Digital used blockchain technology to tokenize a part of the St. Regis Aspen Resort, enabling investors to buy shares in the luxury hotel. 
Art – Picasso’s “Fillette au béret”
A Blockchain application called ‘’Fillette au beret’’ allowed fractional investments in fine art by tokenizing ownership of a Picasso picture. 
Stocks – Tesla and Apple (FTX)
For cryptocurrency-based trading—some cryptocurrency exchanges as the now-defunct FTX, provided tokenized versions of well-known stocks like Apple and Tesla. 
Commodities – Gold (PAXG)
Users can exchange gold-backed tokens with ease due to Paxos Gold (PAXG) which reflects ownership of real gold kept in vaults. 
Collectibles – NBA Top Shot
The NBA Top Shot platform from Dapper Labs allows fans to buy, sell, trade and exchange digital sports memorabilia by tokenizing highlight clips as NFTs. 
Carbon Credits – Toucan Protocol
Toucan makes it possible to trade verified carbon offsets transparently by enabling tokenized carbon credits on the blockchain.

Legal and Regulatory Landscape of Tokenized Assets
Regulatory Uncertainty
The classification of tokenized assets as securities, commodities or something else is still up for discussion in many jurisdictions which leads to legal ambiguity. 
Securities Law 
If a tokenized asset passes the Howey Test, it is deemed a security in places like the U.S and is subject to SEC rules 
Licensing and Compliance 
Depending on the region—platforms that issue or trade tokenized assets frequently require licenses such as money transmitter or broker-dealer licenses. 
Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti Money Laundering (AML)
Token platforms must adhere to stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti Money Laundering (AML) regulations to validate user identities and stop illegal transactions. 
EU Regulations – MiCA and DLT Pilot Regime
The DLT Pilot Regime and the EU’s MiCA(Markets in Crypto Assets) framework are designed to promote lawful tokenized asset trade throughout the EU and regulate crypto assets 
Smart Contract Legality 
Legal systems are changing to accept smart contracts as legitimate agreements while enforceability differs by nation
Global Fragmentation 
Different nations have distinct laws, resulting in a dispersed legal system. This makes cross-border tokenized asset operations more challenging. 
Challenges in Implementing Asset Tokenization Development 
Technology Integration 
Blockchain infrastructure and legacy systems often fail to integrate, resulting in high upgrade costs and operational complexity.
Lack of Standardization 
Interoperability problems arise when token formats, systems and protocols lack uniform standards.
Market Education & Awareness 
Many asset owners and investors lack a thorough understanding of tokenization which impedes their adoption and trust
Liquidity Concerns 
Although tokenization promises liquidity, many tokenized assets still lack developed real secondary markets
Custody and Security Risks
Advanced security solutions are necessary to protect digital assets & inadequate wallet management might result in theft or asset loss.
Scalability 
Transaction costs and speeds are challenges for many blockchain platforms particularly when network traffic is high.
Benefits Of Asset Tokenization Development 
Increased Liquidity
Trading traditionally illiquid goods, such as commodities, real estate or artwork, is made simpler by tokenization.
Fractional Ownership 
By dividing high-value assets into smaller token units, more investors will be able to afford and access them.
Lower Costs 
Tokenization lowers transaction costs, paperwork and settlement delays by eliminating middlemen.
Global Access 
Investors from all around the world can engage in tokenized markets 24/7 without the usual financial or geographic restrictions.
Security and Transparency
Blockchain reduces fraud and increases trust by offering an accessible and safe record of transactions
Faster Settlement
Smart contracts increase asset transfer efficiency by automating and expediting settlements.
New Investment Opportunities 
This allows for the tokenization of assets that were previously unavailable including carbon credits, royalties and collectibles.
Liquidity and Fractional Ownership Through Tokenization
Tokenization is revolutionizing asset ownership by facilitating fractional ownership and liquidity. Real estate, fine art, infrastructure and other traditionally illiquid assets require large investment money. Investors can now trade portions of these assets due to digital tokenization.

This fractional ownership lowers investment barriers by increasing access to a larger global investor base. Additionally—tokenization makes previously illiquid assets accessible to short term investors by establishing secondary marketplaces where tokens may be readily exchanged, increasing liquidity. 
While the general market benefits from increased accessibility and efficiency, asset owners can also profit from better cash availability. These developments are expected to alter global investment environments as blockchain technology develops further.
Tokenization vs. Traditional Digitization—What’s the Difference?

Future Trends in Asset Tokenization Development—2025 and Beyond
Asset tokenization is increasing rapidly in 2025 and beyond. With a focus on financial instruments, commodities and real estate, blockchain technology is becoming more and more popular across industries as it develops. As fractional ownership, better liquidity and smooth cross border transactions become commonplace, more investors will be able to access assets that were previously illiquid. 
Conclusion
Adopting asset tokenization allows businesses, financial institutions and others to diversify the assets they hold, cut expenses and improve operational effectiveness. Every user can take the lead in the changing financial landscape by staying ahead of regulatory changes and utilizing safe, scalable blockchain technology.

Opportunity to Directly Engage with Projects Making Waves on a Global Scale
Pointing out that one of the biggest opportunities offered by the event is the chance to observe a rapidly developing market like Turkey firsthand, Demet Zübeyiroğlu said, "Istanbul's strategic location connecting Europe, the Middle East, and Africa is making this global event not only Turkey's but also the EMEA region's fintech center. In this respect, IFW 2025 will offer the opportunity to directly engage with projects making waves on a global scale. The future is built on platforms like these.
