Welcome to Day Two of EthCC 8 and the Real-World Asset (RWA) Summit, live from Cannes — where the French Riviera meets the frontier of decentralized finance. Today, two parallel events are converging on a single theme: the integration of traditional finance with blockchain technology. As tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) move from concept to implementation, and crypto-native ETFs edge closer to mainstream adoption, thought leaders, builders, regulators, and institutional players are gathering to explore what’s next. From tokenized treasuries to on-chain infrastructure and the evolution of compliant DeFi, today’s conversations promise to shape the future of both markets and protocols. We’ll be live-blogging the biggest insights, key announcements, and panel highlights — including deep dives into the ETF landscape, regulatory frameworks, and the growing impact of RWAs on global finance. Stay tuned as we bring you real-time updates straight from the heart of Cannes. The post [Live] EthCC 8 / RWA Summit Day Two: Real-World Assets Take Center Stage appeared first on Cryptonews .
Digital asset funds experienced inflows of $2.7 billion last week, their 11th consecutive week of gains. This figure pushed the total to $16.9 billion. Interestingly, the mid-year momentum is similar to 2024, when inflows reached $18.3 billion by June’s end. CoinShares noted that continued investor interest is likely tied to a mix of increased geopolitical tensions and the current “uncertainty” around monetary policy, both of which are driving demand for digital assets. Bitcoin Dominates Digital Asset Inflows According to the latest edition of the ‘Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report ,’ Bitcoin captured 83% of total inflows in digital asset investment products last week, as it pulled in $2.2 billion amidst strong investor optimism. Short-Bitcoin products continued to see outflows, with $2.9 million exiting last week, which pushed year-to-date outflows to $12 million. This essentially indicated a positive sentiment around Bitcoin. Ethereum followed suit with $429 million in weekly inflows, as it catapulted its year-to-date total to $2.9 billion, owing to the ongoing bullish investor interest. XRP also secured $10.6 million last week, bringing its yearly inflows to $219 million. While Solana recorded $5.3 million in weekly inflows, its year-to-date tally remains at $91 million. Next up was Sui, which attracted $1.4 million in inflows last week, reaching $4.7 million so far this year. Chainlink and Cardano saw weekly minor inflows of $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which pushed their year-to-date totals to $24 million and $10 million. Multi-asset products added a modest $0.2 million last week, totaling $58 million in inflows for the year, while Litecoin’s YTD inflows stand at $5 million. Inflows last week were largely driven by the US, which recorded $2.65 billion, while Switzerland and Germany saw smaller inflows of $23 million and $19.8 million. Australia added $8.7 million. In contrast, Sweden saw outflows of $15.9 million, while Canada, Brazil, and Hong Kong recorded outflows of $13.6 million, $2.4 million, and $2.3 million, respectively. Following price rallies, Hong Kong has continued to experience outflows, which reached $132 million for June. Bitcoin Defies June Lull Bitcoin defied its usual June weakness with a last-minute rally, as it caught up to equities after Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax bill advanced in the Senate. According to QCP Capital’s note , the focus has now shifted to today’s vote, aiming for a July 4 deadline. On the institutional side of things, demand remains strong, with spot BTC ETFs seeing $2.2 billion in inflows. Strategy and Metaplanet continued steady accumulation, while leveraged longs increased as the leading crypto approached $108K. Ethereum and Solana rallied on optimism over potential ETH and SOL staking ETFs. However, options markets remain muted, risk reversals also appear to be flat, and implied volatility is near historical lows despite the bullish spot price action.

As 2026 unfolds, analysts are once again turning their attention to XRP. A wave of institutional optimism and renewed ETF speculation has sparked conversations around whether the long-anticipated $5 target is finally within reach. But while XRP prepares for a possible breakout, another name is rapidly climbing investor watchlists — MAGACOIN FINANCE. In what many are calling a shift in strategy, investors are increasingly positioning ahead of the next wave by combining exposure to legacy assets like XRP with early-stage tokens that show breakout potential. At the center of this trend is MAGACOIN FINANCE, a project that analysts say carries both narrative momentum and structural upside. MAGACOIN FINANCE Emerges as a Breakout Contender for 2026 While XRP captures headlines for its comeback potential, MAGACOIN FINANCE is quietly becoming a focal point for forward-looking investors. The token is structured with high-conviction appeal — leveraging scarcity-based mechanics, early-stage positioning, and mounting interest from analysts across major research hubs. Previous entry rounds have sold out instantly, and new participation continues to accelerate as early signs of breakout behavior emerge. Wallet activity, investor positioning, and research-driven sentiment all point to MAGACOIN FINANCE entering a pivotal phase of its growth trajectory. Rather than rely on trends or comparisons, MAGACOIN FINANCE is carving out a distinct identity, backed by a setup that many are calling one of the most asymmetric opportunities of the year. The listing price has already been confirmed, and strategic accumulation is on the rise as institutional and retail investors begin locking in positions. XRP Gains Traction Amid ETF Rumors and Institutional Momentum XRP’s road over the past few years has been shaped by ongoing regulatory clarity and expanding use cases in cross-border payments. With the SEC dispute largely behind it and enterprise adoption on the rise, the asset is regaining attention from analysts and institutions alike. The possibility of a spot XRP ETF is adding fuel to the bullish case. Industry experts note that an ETF approval could dramatically shift capital inflows, boosting both volume and market positioning. This narrative has led analysts to revisit high-range targets, including the long-held projection of a move toward $5 — a milestone that once felt distant but is now back in the realm of possibility. Institutional interest, particularly from payment firms and tokenization platforms, continues to grow. These developments suggest that XRP’s accumulation phase may be evolving into a setup for long-term upside. Analysts See Multi-Layered Growth Potential Across Both Assets Analysts covering both XRP and MAGACOIN FINANCE highlight a key difference in investor psychology: XRP is now viewed as a large-cap with renewed upside following regulatory progress, while MAGACOIN FINANCE is seen as a high-upside asset still early in its market journey. The rotation into early-stage projects while maintaining exposure to larger market anchors is not new, but the current cycle appears to be rewarding those who move with conviction before wider awareness sets in. In this sense, MAGACOIN FINANCE is being tracked not as a speculative bet, but as a strategic position ahead of a potential surge. Final Thoughts: Positioning Ahead of the Next Cycle As the market gears up for what could be a watershed year in crypto, investors are busy positioning their portfolios around narrative, structure and timing. XRP is likely to undergo a strong upside potential in 2026 if an ETF happens. However, assets may grow quicker if they remain near areas of awareness where Easter-smart capital flows early. MAGACOIN FINANCE is now at the center of that conversation. Its confirmed structure parameters and analyst momentum continue to attract high-conviction interest. For those in tune with where the market is headed next, this is already clear.

Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, has expressed concerns regarding the sustainability of various bitcoin treasury companies led by lesser-known CEOs who may lack a deep understanding of bitcoin. In a recent social media post, Mow stated that these companies are likely to “fold” during significant market downturns, highlighting the fragility of their operations. He emphasized
Stablecoin issuer Circle has officially applied to establish a national trust bank in the United States, aiming to oversee its USDC reserves while aligning with emerging federal regulations. If approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Circle’s “First National Digital Currency Bank” will operate as a federally regulated trust institution, the company announced on Monday. This move is part of Circle’s efforts to strengthen the infrastructure supporting the issuance and circulation of USDC, while also expanding its custodial services for institutional clients. National Trust Banks are not permitted to accept cash deposits or issue loans but can provide custody services and operate nationwide under OCC oversight, eliminating the need for state-based money transmitter licenses, according to law firm Davis Wright Tremaine. Circle Aligning with the Regulatory Clarity Circle’s pursuit of a federally regulated trust charter is also aimed at ensuring compliance with the proposed GENIUS Act, which passed the US Senate on June 17 and now awaits a House vote. This legislation, if enacted, would set standards for the issuance and management of dollar-backed payment stablecoins within the US. Jeremy Allaire, Circle’s co-founder and CEO, emphasized that the company is taking “proactive steps to further strengthen our USDC infrastructure” while aligning operations with the “emerging US regulation for the issuance and operation of dollar-denominated payment stablecoins.” National Trust Bank applications undergo a 30-day public comment period, with the OCC typically providing a decision within 120 days after receiving a complete application. Crypto Firms Show Growing Interest in Bank Charters Circle is not alone in seeking a national trust bank license under the OCC’s supervision. Eleanor Terrett, host of the “Crypto in America” podcast, highlighted that multiple crypto firms, including Fidelity’s digital currency division, are pursuing similar bank charter licenses. The company has reportedly been exploring this pathway since at least 2022, according to The Wall Street Journal, joining other crypto players like Anchorage Trust Company, which became Anchorage Digital Bank after receiving OCC approval in January 2021. Meanwhile, Circle Internet Group (CRCL) shares remained stable in the last trading session, with a slight increase of 0.48% to $181, as per Google Finance data. However, after-hours trading saw the stock dip by 1.30% to $178. The company’s stock made a notable entry on June 5, surging 167% during its debut session on the New York Stock Exchange, reflecting investor confidence as the company advances toward deeper regulatory alignment in the stablecoin market.

After Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs in the US, altcoins such as Solana (SOL), XRP and Litecoin (LTC) are also waiting for approval. At this point, while spot altcoin ETFs are expected to be approved in 2025, the first approval came for Solana (SOL). Accordingly, the CEO of Rex Shares, one of the issuer companies that applied for the spot Solana ETF, said that the REX-OSPREY Solana ETF will start trading in the US on Wednesday. While the latest development pushed the SOL price upwards, expectations for other altcoin ETFs in the market also increased. Litecoin (LTC) and XRP Are Next After Solana! At this point, analysts estimate that there is a 95% probability of LTC and XRP spot ETFs being approved in 2025. Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett shared on her X account the approval predictions of Bloomberg senior ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas for altcoin ETFs. Eleanor Terrett also noted that Balchunas and Seyffart had been correct in most of their predictions so far. According to Balchunas and Seyffart, the altcoins most likely to receive approval from the SEC after Solana are Litecoin and XRP. Accordingly, analysts estimate that there is a 95 percent chance that LTC and XRP will receive ETF approval in 2025. Seyffart wrote: “Here are mine and Eric Balchunas' latest predictions for spot crypto ETF approvals by the end of 2025. We expect a wave of new ETFs in the second half of 2025.” Litecoin and XRP are in the first place in terms of probability of getting approved, followed by Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), HBAR and Avalanche (AVAX), each with a 90 percent probability rate. Finally, analysts give a 60 percent probability for SUI and a 50 percent probability for Tron (TRX) and Pengu. Here are mine and @EricBalchunas ' most recent odds on spot crypto ETF approvals by the end of 2025.

July 1, 2025 • 07:15 UTC DEXs have recorded $385B in spot trades in June, according to data collected by The Block , despite DEX’s 30-day trading volume being down by 12% in June compared to May. The difference is that CEX spot trades are down 30% during the same period, making it the lowest monthly trade volume since September 2024. These numbers are important because the disparity between DEXs and CEXs never fell below 12% in 2025 and only went under four times during a 5-year span, between 2019 and 2024. The reason behind the observation, according to analyst Ignas , is that traders appear to use DEXs for price discovery movements, but use CEXs for exit liquidity. This trend can have a potentially negative impact on fund security, given that DEXs are rather suboptimal in this category, compared to non-custodial wallets. Products like Best Wallet, for instance, are non-custodial, require no KYC, and are free to use, making them superior in terms of overall security and ease of use. Best of all, the Best Wallet Token ($BEST) presale improves on the best aspects of this wallet (trading fees, staking, and community governance). Learn more about Best Wallet Token here.

Ric Edelman, the founder of Edelman Financial Engines, has called on investors to allocate between 40% and 10% of their portfolio to crypto. The prominent financial advisor shared the take in a recent whitepaper for the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals ( DACFP). According to Edelman , who is also DACFP’s founder, the traditional investment model of 60/40 allocation to stock and bond is no longer useful. He attributed this to the massive technological advancements that have led to high longevity rates. Instead, he recommended that investors put their money in crypto while outlining the percentage to allocate based on their risk profiles. In Edelman’s opinion, aggressive investors should have 40% of their crypto investments, while conservative ones should have 10%. He said: “Conservative investors should now have a 10% crypto allocation. Moderate clients should place 25% of their portfolios in crypto, and aggressive clients should allocate 40% of their investments to crypto.” Interestingly, the veteran investor with 39 years of experience in the financial sector noted that investing in crypto is no longer a speculative trade. According to him, a passive market-weighted index of all asset classes would have 3% allocated to crypto, showing just how big the sector has become. Thus, anyone choosing to ignore the crypto sector is simply shorting it. Edelman bullish on crypto, says Bitcoin could reach $500,000 Meanwhile, Edelman made a bullish case for investors to allocate up to 40% of their portfolio to crypto. According to him, there is no reason anyone would choose to ignore an asset class that has outperformed the rest of the market for 15 consecutive years. In backing up his claim, he highlighted high-performing crypto assets and sectors, including the stablecoin sector. He noted that Tether’s massive $13 billion profits last year exceeded what several major US companies, including McDonald’s, BlackRock, IBM, and Ford, pulled in. Edelman’s summary of why everyone should invest in crypto (Source: DACFP) Beyond that, Edelman believes President Donald Trump’s win in 2024 has also set the stage for crypto’s good fortunes. According to him, the pro-crypto moves from the Trump administration and policy reversal from individuals and institutions are all signs that crypto is now a derisked investment. Unsurprisingly, the prominent financial advisor is particularly bullish on Bitcoin and has predicted it could be worth $500,000, noting that this is based on demand and supply. He noted that institutions’ massive accumulation of assets will continue to drive up their prices. He said: “There’s $750 trillion in global assets (stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, cash and collectibles). A mere 1% allocation would cause $7.5 trillion to flow into Bitcoin. That’s $377,000 per bitcoin. Add that to Bitcoin’s current price, and you get to about $500,000 per Bitcoin. It’s simple arithmetic.” Interestingly, Edelman highlighted how investors can get crypto exposure, from direct acquisition to equity proxies. His whitepaper also advises financial advisors to allocate part of their portfolio to crypto by including responses to clients’ common objections and criticizing advisors who do not recommend crypto to their customers. Reactions trail Edelman’s endorsement of crypto allocation Meanwhile, the whitepaper from Edelman has sparked a mixed but mostly positive reaction from experts. Bloomberg senior analyst Eric Balchunas described it as the biggest endorsement of crypto from TradFi since BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. According to him, this is because of Edelman’s status in the financial advisory community, where he is one of the most influential voices. He said: “This guy is Mr RIA. Manages $300b for 1.3 million clients. Tops the Barron’s list of America Advisors regularly.” Meanwhile, some in the crypto community believe that Edelman should have specified BTC as the asset to invest in rather than simply saying crypto. Balchunas noted that this should not be a cause for debate, as almost all investors, including Edelman, acknowledge that Bitcoin is the primary investment asset in the crypto sector. Interestingly, Bitwise European head of research André Dragosh does not agree that technological advancements killed the 60/40 model. Instead, he attributes it to rising inflation, noting that stocks and bonds underperform once inflation rises above 5%. However, he also recommended diversifying into hard assets such as Gold and Bitcoin. Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings? Learn how DeFi can help you build steady passive income.
