Citigroup Inc. announced the launch of Citi Token Services. The new product converts customer deposits into digital tokens that can be sent instantly to anywhere in the world.
The service is provided by Citi’s Treasury and Trade Solutions division, which has so far been using the service to improve cash management and trade finance capabilities.

On the day the US SEC announced charges against the creators of Stoner Cats NFT, encryption lawyer Bill Morgan pointed out that although such cases did not establish a legal precedent, they did help to fuel the SEC’s influence on the encryption industry.
He emphasized the importance of Ripple Labs’ ongoing legal dispute with the SEC and said that if Ripple had not taken the SEC to court, all cryptocurrencies except Bitcoin might now be automatically classified as securities.
Morgan shared further thoughts on Judge Torres’ July 13 ruling regarding XRP. Morgan noted that although XRP is not considered a security, the regulatory outlook for its sale or use remains unclear due to the SEC’s appeal plans.
Until that legal case and subsequent appeals are fully resolved, it remains unclear whether Ripple and its customers will feel safe under SEC regulation.
Bank of America recently cited RWA tokenization as a key driver of digital asset adoption. According to a Bank of America report, the tokenized gold market has attracted over $1 billion in investment.
Demand for tokenized U.S. Treasuries is also growing, with the total market value of tokenized money market funds approaching $500 million, according to data compiled by CoinDesk.
Global business consulting firm Boston Consulting Group predicts that the market for tokenized assets could surge to $16 trillion by 2030.
Peter Gaffney, research director of Security Token Advisors, said in an article that the scale of RWA (Real World Assets tokenization) will reach US$16 trillion in 2030.
Gaffney stated in the article that on-chain analysis shows that $3 billion in assets have been tokenized, and that we have seen large companies (Bank of New York Mellon, JPMorgan Chase, and BlackRock) launch tokenization projects and recognize that The efficiencies they can bring from a payments and settlement perspective.
Nonetheless, the more important potential of tokenized investments lies in their ability to democratize finance and bring wider investment opportunities to ordinary people through “diversified” investment in global opportunities.
MakerDAO co-founder Rune Christensen expressed his thoughts on the future of decentralized stablecoins such as Dai and their role in the broader crypto economy at the Token 2049 conference in Singapore.
Christensen said interest-bearing stablecoins could capture 30% of the market within two years, and decentralized stablecoins could eventually dominate the stablecoin market as long as cryptocurrencies finally reach their potential.
If cryptocurrencies materialize and become regulated, centralized stablecoins will become mainstream. However, the real potential lies in decentralized stablecoins.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge John Dorsey of the District of Delaware ruled that cryptocurrency exchange FTX can sell and invest its cryptocurrency holdings to repay creditors.
Previously released documents showed the assets were worth more than $3.4 billion as of August 31.
It has been reported that FTX revealed earlier this week that it holds Solana (SOL) tokens worth $1.16 billion, accounting for about 16% of the token’s circulating supply, as well as Bitcoin worth about $560 million, and some The assets consist of less liquid altcoins.
FTX Debtors submitted a proposed plan in August, under which token sales would be guided by financial advisors and weekly sales of most tokens would be capped at $100 million, although the cap could be raised to $200 million.
Messari posted on social media that FTX liquidators hold approximately $1.3 billion in liquid crypto assets (excluding stablecoins).
The relevant number is not the absolute value of the token held, but its amount relative to the active trading volume of each asset.
For example, FTX/Alameda’s BTC holdings ($353 million) represent approximately 1% of BTC’s weekly trading volume, which means that the market can absorb most of the sell-off, and the same is true for ETH.
However, for less liquid assets such as DOGE, TRX, and MATIC, the amount held by FTX accounts for 6-12% of the weekly trading volume, which has a much greater impact on the market.
While SOL and APT have considerable dollar value and relative market capacity, these assets are held by Alameda and venture capital investors and are primarily composed of vested tokens that are not immediately liquid on the open market.
Only 9.2 million SOL is unlocked each month, which significantly reduces the liquidation impact, making it more manageable similar to BTC and ETH liquidations.
21co chain analyst Tom Wan posted on social media X (formerly Twitter) that Paxos will stop supporting BUSD in February 2024.
The obvious beneficiary will be FDUSD, a stablecoin issued by First Digital Labs, and Binance will allow users to convert BUSD to FDUSD 1:1.
Due to its integration with Binance, FDUSD has become the ninth largest stablecoin with a market capitalization of $394 million. The exit of BUSD will be another catalyst for the growth of FDUSD.
According to data from CoinShares, since the beginning of 2023, Solana (SOL) investment product inflows worth $ 26 million, surpassing all other altcoins including ETH, indicating that it is the most popular altcoin among investors.

Billy Markus pointed out that the X platform fork he received so far is only one-third of the income he received 14 days ago.
But I am still grateful for the gift, and the reason for the shrinking revenue may be that fewer and fewer users are willing to pay.
According to previously disclosed data, Billy Markus is the second largest earner on the X platform, and the largest earner is the Internet Hall of Fame with 1.9 million fans.
According to data from The Block Pro, the adjusted transaction volume on the stablecoin chain rose in August to $520.9 billion, an increase of about 6.8%, and it is also one of the few encryption indicators that has risen in the past month.

Chainlink community ambassador ChainLinkGod.eth stated on the X platform (formerly Twitter) that Delivery vs Payment (DvP) is an important concept in the capital market. It is a guarantee that the transfer of securities and the corresponding payment occur at the same time, which can reduce the counterparty risk.
Banks and central banks are increasingly interested in issuing stablecoins and CBDCs, which may be launched using private chains.
Asset managers/owners must be able to freely use these cash tokens to purchase assets on other chains (including public chains), asset managers may hold tokenized assets on different public/private chains, but they still want trade with each other.

McHenry, chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, said he has sent a letter to Fed Chairman Powell on stablecoins for payment functions. The regulatory framework proposed by Congress will better protect consumers. Concerns that the actions taken by the Federal Reserve will upend the progress Congress has made in legislation .
“We are concerned that these actions are designed to upend Congress’ progress in establishing a regulatory regime for stablecoins for payments,” the letter reads. Furthermore, if these letters are preserved, they will undoubtedly prevent financial institutions from participating in the digital asset ecosystem.
The letter also pointed out that the SR 23-7 and SR 23-8 letters issued by the Federal Reserve are actually intended to effectively prevent banks from issuing payment stablecoins or participating in the payment stablecoin ecosystem.
“While the regulatory no-objection process is disguised as a process for guiding how such activities may be permitted, it is clear that the Fed does not intend to allow any such activity, at least as it relates to public, permissionless blockchains,” the letter said.
Dogecoin DOGE founder Billy Markus admitted on social media that he created Dogecoin with Jackson Palmer and introduced this MEME coin to the market in 2013, and one of the factors that helped him create Dogecoin was Twitter ( now renamed X).
But he didn’t start experimenting with social media platforms until 2020, but introducing Dogecoin to the crypto community on social media in the early years helped the project a lot.
Musk had previously considered adding DOGE as a payment option on Twitter, but has not commented on the matter since the acquisition and rebranding to X.
Adoption of stablecoin payments continued to flourish last year despite massive capital outflows across the cryptocurrency market, according to a new report by European hedge fund manager Brevan Howard.
Analysts found that the stablecoin market will be worth more than $11 trillion in 2022, with more than 25 million addresses holding more than $1 in stablecoins.
The total value settled through stablecoins last year was close to the $11.6 trillion of credit card payments giant Visa.
Given that 75% of weekly active stablecoin addresses trade less than $1,000 per week, most stablecoin users are likely retail users, the report said.
More than two-thirds of stablecoins are held outside of exchanges and smart contracts. Although approximately 50% of stablecoin transaction volume is settled on Ethereum alone, the network accounts for only 3% of total transaction volume.
In comparison, Tron and BSC accounted for 75% of stablecoin trading volume and 41% of trading volume.
Cryptocurrency commentator Yazan stated on social media X (formerly Twitter) that Binance, OKX, Kucoin, and Bybit have received 16 trillion pieces of PEPE flowing out of the PEPE multi-signature wallet from the address (0xa34B091932D9c9ffcFF254c9Aa1B4210C81F2EA0), of which 67,000 100 million PEPEs were transferred to Binance, 8.5 trillion PEPEs were transferred to OKX, 445 billion PEPEs were transferred to ByBit, and 400 billion PEPEs were transferred to Kucoin.
These PEPEs were meant to fund exchange listings, not dumped on the free market, Yazan said.
Individuals involved in these transactions are bad actors, please be aware that they may have used fake KYC or may have purchased KYC verified accounts for malicious use.
Hopefully exchanges will question unusual activity and not let it go.
There may be police reports of these acts soon. Please take all necessary steps to freeze any transactions from the above addresses.

Dogecoin’s lead developer, Ross Nicoll, opposed the move to the cryptocurrency’s proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, saying it would not benefit Dogecoin like other cryptocurrencies.
Despite this, Dogecoin continues to gain popularity and has the support of celebrities such as Elon Musk and Mark Cuban.
The cryptocurrency also burned 20.5 million coins, contributing to its rise in value.
The burn destroyed more than 6% of Dogecoin’s total supply, making it a hot topic among cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

A report written on behalf of Paradigm by former Federal Reserve policy analyst Brendan Malone said that stablecoins cannot be compared to bank deposits in terms of risk.
The document explores the risks that stablecoins pose to the financial system, noting that current legislative proposals in the United States could incorporate encrypted payment instruments into the existing banking and securities framework.
According to Malone, stablecoins pose less risk than bank deposits because when banks take short-term deposits and use those funds to make long-term loans that are not repaid for years, they face so-called maturity transformation.
Maturity transformation poses ongoing risks for banks requiring permanent risk management, whereas fiat-pegged stablecoins inherently pose no similar risk as their reserve assets are typically backed by short-term Treasury bills and Segregated from the issuer’s assets.
The U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Committee voted 34 to 16 to pass the U.S. stablecoin regulation bill, the Payments Stablecoin Transparency Act.
