Real-world assets (tokenized off-chain assets) held on blockchain stayed flat by market value while the number of holders reached a record 820,000, and stablecoin transfer volume fell 40%.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (U.S. markets regulator) delayed a tokenized asset exemption plan, according to the provided information, slowing a potential regulatory pathway for tokenized asset issuance and trading. At the same time, the real-world asset or RWA (tokenized off-chain assets) sector showed mixed signals: its on-chain market value remained flat, but the number of holders climbed to a record 820,000, indicating broader participation even without market-value growth. Stablecoin (cryptocurrency designed to track a fixed asset) transfer volume dropped 40%, suggesting weaker transaction activity in a key part of the digital asset market. Separately, Tether partnered with Georgia to launch an official stablecoin, pointing to continued development in blockchain-based payment infrastructure despite softer transfer volumes elsewhere.
