Real‑time valuation meets 24/7 liquidity as Aave’s Horizon turns $25B of tokenized assets into productive collateral on Ethereum using Chainlink SmartData and permissionless lender pools
Aave’s Horizon Platform is a significant advancement in the integration of traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi). It allows institutional investors to borrow stablecoins against tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), addressing the gap in DeFi’s lack of institutional-grade compliance and liquidity. Horizon’s institutional-grade design integrates Chainlink’s SmartData to provide real-time asset valuation and collateral verification, ensuring transparency and trust. This aligns with regulatory frameworks and leverages blockchain’s efficiency, making DeFi accessible to institutional players. The market potential for tokenized RWAs is significant, with projections suggesting it could reach $10 trillion by 2030. Platforms like Horizon accelerate this growth by enabling institutions to deploy capital more efficiently. Regulatory momentum, such as the U.S. transition to T+1 settlement in 2024 and initiatives like the SEC’s Project Crypto, further amplifies Horizon’s impact. Critics like Circle, VanEck, and Chainlink underscore Horizon’s institutional credibility, validating the platform’s infrastructure and ensuring dynamic collateral values. Horizon’s implications for capital markets are profound, as it could democratize access to liquidity while preserving regulatory compliance. Institutions gain 24/7 borrowing capabilities, while DeFi participants earn yields on stablecoins backed by real-world collateral. Aave’s Horizon Platform is a structural catalyst for the tokenization of global finance, unlocking trillions in value while setting new standards for transparency and efficiency.
Kraken is bringing xStocks to Ethereum unlocking opportunities for tokenized stocks and ETFs to be integrated across the world’s most widely adopted smart contract network and build DeFi workflows on chain
In partnership with Backed, Kraken is bringing xStocks to the Ethereum blockchain, unlocking a new wave of opportunities for tokenized stocks and ETFs to be integrated across the world’s most widely adopted smart contract network. By extending Kraken’s support of xStocks to Ethereum, we’re enabling millions of Ethereum users and thousands of live applications to source the industry standard for tokenized equities liquidity. In the coming weeks, eligible Kraken clients will be able to deposit and withdraw xStocks directly on Ethereum, providing investors greater choice and flexibility to transfer assets between the Kraken platform and self-custodial wallets for on-chain activity. As part of the integration, Backed will issue xStocks as ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum, ensuring full 1:1 collateralization for every tokenized equity listed on Kraken’s platform. Ethereum ecosystem partners will also work to expand xStocks integrations across DeFi protocols, wallets and dApps — bringing tokenized equities into one of the largest and most innovative communities in Web3. Having already launched xStocks to Kraken clients via Solana — and following recent announcements of upcoming integrations with BNB chain and the TRON network — xStocks have quickly become established as the global standard for tokenized equities.
Gaia Labs, an AI and Web3 infrastructure company, releases an AI smartphone built on Samsung hardware for users in South Korea and Hong Kong to directly run AI models without relying on cloud services
Web3 companies are exploring ways to move beyond apps and tokens, experimenting with hardware devices like phones and consoles that merge crypto functions with everyday tech. The latest is Gaia Labs, a decentralized AI and Web3 infrastructure company, which announced its upcoming AI smartphone for users in South Korea and Hong Kong. Built on Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge hardware, the device runs AI models directly on the phone, letting users interact with agents without relying on cloud services. Other examples include Solana Labs subsidiary Solana Mobile releasing its second-generation mobile device in August after releasing the first one in 2023; luxury brand Vertu launching a smartphone called Metavertu that includes a dual Web2/Web3 platform in 2022; Sui blockchain creator Mysten Labs partnering with Playtron to release a handheld gaming device called SuiPlay0X1 that also includes native Web3 features in late 2024; and Solana Mobile announcing a portable gaming console called Play Solana Gen 1 (PSG1) that includes a hardware wallet in August.
Solana’s Seeker phone Seeker phone has succeeded in making wallet creation incredibly simple and intuitive, while also offering a dApp store; Seed Vault, a secure, hardware-based key management system is embedded directly into the phone
While the Solana Seeker doesn’t reinvent the smartphone, it does something almost as ambitious: It brings the full weight of Web3 — keys, wallets, identity, ownership — directly into your pocket. This means we are moving into an era of the user, us, owning our own data instead of corporate entities. The Seeker doesn’t pass the test by trying to outgun Apple or Samsung on hardware. It’s not a reinvention of the phone itself. But where it succeeds — and perhaps sets a new threshold — is in embedding crypto at the operating level. From Seed Vault’s secure key storage to a Solana-native dApp store that avoids Apple’s 30% toll, the Seeker is the closest thing the crypto industry has seen to a Web3-first mobile device that actually works. The Seeker has succeeded in making wallet creation incredibly simple and intuitive, while also offering a dApp store that just works. The connections between dApps and the Solana wallet on the phone are incredibly seamless, creating a user experience that feels closer to Web2 than anything we’ve seen in crypto to date. Its most important feature is the Seed Vault, a secure, hardware-based key management system embedded directly into the phone. The Seeker isn’t just a phone — it’s Solana’s distribution rail strategy in hardware form. While Apple enforces 30% fees and buries crypto behind policy firewalls, Solana is betting that its own vertically-integrated mobile stack will unlock: Airdrop campaigns with Seeker-only rewards; Wallet-native dApps for staking, trading, minting; Mobile-first UX for apps like Jupiter, Marinade, Dialect, and Tensor; Potential hardware-backed identity & payments via Solana Pay.
SmartGold and Chintai plan $1.6B in tokenized, IRA‑eligible gold; adding DeFi‑ready collateralization so retirement assets can unlock liquidity and yield within regulated rails
SmartGold and Chintai are partnering to bring $1.6 billion worth of physical gold into U.S. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). The initiative will convert $1.6 billion of gold into digital tokens on a blockchain, allowing IRA holders to gain greater control over their precious metal holdings. The gold tokens can also be used as collateral in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications, integrating a traditional safe-haven asset directly into the modern digital economy. This move aligns with a broader push by major financial institutions into the Real-World Assets (RWA) space, with BlackRock’s tokenized fund BUIDL demonstrating the potential of tokenization. The Boston Consulting Group has projected the RWA tokenization market to reach $16 trillion by 2030, highlighting the potential of such integrations.

Galaxy Digital becomes first to tokenize its SEC-registered Class A shares on Solana blockchain enabling one-to-one token conversion with full legal rights; trading is limited to bilateral transfers
Galaxy Digital, a Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency, has announced a partnership with Superstate to tokenize its Class A common stock on the Solana blockchain. This marks the first time a US-listed company has proactively tokenized its shares on a public blockchain. Galaxy Digital believes that putting stocks on the blockchain involves complex links and that token holders do not have actual rights to the underlying company’s shares. Galaxy Digital and Superstate are collaborating to develop a clear on-chain process and architecture for tokenizing existing stocks directly on-chain as real shares. The platform, Opening Bell, allows users to convert GLXY’s Class A common stock into tokenized shares on a one-to-one basis. The process involves KYC registration at Superstate, transfer of shares to Equiniti via the Direct Registration System (DRS), and delivery of tokens to Solana wallets. Galaxy Digital plans to gradually expand trading venues as US securities regulators provide clearer guidance, ultimately enabling tokenized shares to be traded directly on Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and decentralized exchanges. However, the on-chain version of GLXY may have three potential risks: wallet theft or loss, price differentials between tokenized GLXY and traditional GLXY shares, and regulatory uncertainty. The core of this solution is that it provides a clearer on-chain process and structure than other third-party US stock tokenization service providers. As the issuing entity, Galaxy Digital can clearly define the rights status of issued tokens, which has positive significance for resolving the rights mismatch between traditional “packaged” US stock tokens and real stocks. However, the bigger problem lies on the circulation side. Currently, only registered users of Superstate can hold GLXY tokens, and GLXY does not currently support trading between DEXs. Even if DEXs are supported in the future, the liquidity situation remains unknown. Similar restrictions will hinder users from migrating to the chain.
