EBA Europe’s crypto legislation explicitly treats any exposure to “tokenised traditional assets” the same as exposure to traditional assets, with no qualifications and without additional capital requirement
The European Banking Authority (EBA) this week published final technical standards that largely follow guidance from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and mainly apply to cryptocurrencies. The underlying EU legislation overrides this conservative approach for tokenized traditional assets. This legislative framework explicitly treats any exposure to “tokenised traditional assets” the same as exposure to traditional assets, with no qualifications. The contrast with other jurisdictions is stark. While EU banks can treat tokenized securities on any blockchain type without additional capital requirements, banks following Basel Committee directions face the maximum 1250% risk weighting for similar exposures on permissionless networks. The treatment of stablecoins presents an even more intriguing regulatory divergence. This regulatory split positions Europe as uniquely favorable for institutional tokenization efforts, potentially accelerating the digitization of traditional financial instruments and establishing the region as a global tokenization hub.
Design studio Dnable taps blockchain infrastructure platform Fellaz to create web3-native K-pop boy group allowing fans to purchase tokenized fractional shares while letting them vote on key decisions, such as song choices and character outfits through unique tokens
Fellaz, a decentralized protocol suite for entertainment, and Dnable, a content production house and design studio, have partnered to create the next generation of digital-native intellectual property. Fellaz will provide the blockchain infrastructure for Dnable’s two flagship projects: a virtual K-pop boy group and an enhancement of its social application, Peeksup. The partnership aims to empower fans to become active participants, co-creators, and financial stakeholders in the IP they love. The project will be developed at Dnable’s state-of-the-art studio in Seoul, fostering deep integration and synergy between its assets to pioneer new markets. The centerpiece of the collaboration is a virtual boy group whose entire fan economy will be built on the Fellaz protocol suite, creating a comprehensive case study for the future of interactive media: Community Governance via Fellaz Creator Protocol: The group’s creative and strategic direction will be guided by its fans through a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). Fans holding the group’s unique tokens will have the power to vote on key decisions, such as song choices, character outfits, and narrative arcs in the group’s story, fulfilling the promise of a truly community-owned franchise. Verifiable Fandom via Fellaz ID Protocol: Every meaningful fan interaction, from watching livestreams to voting in polls to creating fan art, will be recorded on their personal Fellaz ID. Early adopters will be granted a permanent “Original Supporter” Soulbound Token (SBT), giving them recognized status and tiered access within the community for life. Shared Ownership via Fellaz RWA Protocol: In a revolutionary move, Dnable will tokenize a portion of the virtual group’s intellectual property, allowing fans to purchase fractional shares. This transforms fans into true co-owners who can share in the financial success of the group, earning revenue from sources like music streaming royalties and virtual concert ticket sales.

Health-tech platform Wellgistics Health to use XRPL to process real-time, B2B payments among pharmacies, manufacturers, and vendors; purchase additional XRP and deploy the holdings as collateral to secure financing, and as a source of income generation
Wellgistics Health has filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC detailing a plan to integrate XRP and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) across its payments and treasury operations. The health-tech company said it will use XRPL to process real-time, low-cost business-to-business payments among pharmacies, manufacturers, and vendors and expand its XRP holdings. The company may raise capital through equity and debt offerings to purchase additional XRP, deploy those holdings to generate income, and use the asset as collateral for future financing. The S-1 positions XRP as an active balance sheet instrument. Wellgistics intends to accumulate XRP and apply it to several functions: as a payments rail, as collateral to secure financing, and as a source of income generation. The company indicated that treating XRP as collateral could provide liquidity without disrupting operations. It also outlined plans to raise capital specifically for digital asset acquisition, signaling that future issuances of equity or debt may be tied to enlarging its XRP position. Wellgistics will implement XRPL to support near-instant settlement and reduced fees for business partners. The company identified a network of approximately 6,000 pharmacies and 150 manufacturers that will interface with the XRPL-based system. The stated objective is to streamline value transfer and improve liquidity across that ecosystem by avoiding the delays and costs present in traditional payment systems. Beyond the LDA arrangement, the S-1 states that Wellgistics may pursue additional equity and debt offerings to finance XRP purchases and related infrastructure. Additionally, the S-1 includes risk disclosures tied to XRP’s regulatory status and ongoing litigation. Wellgistics warned that adverse legal or regulatory outcomes could affect XRP’s price and, as a result, the value of the company’s treasury assets and collateral.
Curve Finance’s Yield Basis protocol shields DeFi liquidity providers from market volatility and liquidation risk by maintaining an overcollateralized position, implementing a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar
Yield Basis, an innovative protocol from Curve Finance, addresses the issue of impermanent loss in the cryptocurrency market. By implementing crvUSD, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, Yield Basis shields liquidity providers from market volatility by maintaining an overcollateralized position. This model empowers investors to participate with confidence and avoid catastrophic losses amid price drops. Yield farming and lending are key components of decentralized finance (DeFi), allowing users to earn returns on cryptocurrency assets. However, the risks of Yield Basis include market volatility and liquidation, which must be navigated with care. Liquidity providers must pivot their strategies according to market conditions to maximize returns and foster long-term value growth. As the DeFi sector evolves, institutional recognition of decentralized finance innovations is increasing, leading to an integration of traditional finance with decentralized frameworks. The recent launch of crvUSD marks a significant milestone towards robust stablecoin infrastructures within DeFi, enhancing capital efficiency and unlocking novel yield avenues for seasoned investors.
BankSocial’s tokenized liquidity network built on private permissioned DLT uses interoperable, tokenized rails to enable direct settlement between credit unions eliminating the need for acquirers and offering a real-time view of all transactions across participants
Bank Social is introducing a private permissioned tokenized liquidity network—a new form of modernized shared branching built on distributed ledger technology that may reshape how credit unions move money among themselves and with their members. According to Bank Social COO Becky Reed, the initiative is less about cryptocurrency speculation and more about creating the next-generation backbone for cooperative financial institutions. Under BankSocial’s new model, if a member of Credit Union A deposits funds at Credit Union B, a third party—a designated acquirer—typically facilitates the transaction, often using legacy infrastructure. Bank Social’s model eliminates the need for that intermediary by using interoperable, tokenized rails to enable direct settlement between institutions. “There’s no need for acquirers anymore,” said Reed. “Every participating credit union on the network can settle directly with any other credit union. It’s faster, cheaper, and more secure.” What really differentiates this new model, Reed emphasized, is network visibility and fraud prevention. Traditional payment systems hand off funds and visibility once money leaves the originating institution, leaving fraud detection fragmented and slow. The tokenized network provides a full, real-time view of all transactions across participants. “Using AI, we can analyze transaction patterns across the network in real time. So, if a fraud ring tries to exploit five different local credit unions within minutes of each other, the system can flag it—and even temporarily pause suspicious activity,” said Reed. The system is tokenized, meaning digital representations of value are issued and tracked on a distributed ledger. But these tokens are used strictly as transactional instruments—not investment vehicles, Reed explained. The fintech provides the technology platform and tokenization infrastructure, allowing credit unions to create and manage their own private liquidity networks, Reed explained.
