ONDWallet multi-chain platform to incorporate robust KYC and AML controls, verifiable credentials, and permissioned layers for managing identity-bound wallets to enable compliant transactions in tokenized RWAs
The tokenization of real-world assets is expected to reach $16 trillion by 2030, with the market for Real-World Assets (RWAs) expected to reach $16 trillion. However, existing tokenization platforms are often designed for speculative crypto trading, lacking compliance and control features. ONDWallet aims to address this by incorporating robust KYC and AML controls, verifiable credentials, and permissioned layers for managing identity-bound wallets. The platform supports various assets, including tokenized real estate, debt instruments, commodities, NFTs, and standard cryptocurrencies. It is natively multi-chain, with integrations with Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, and protocols like Centrifuge, Maple, and Ondo Finance. ONDWallet’s dynamic oracle integration keeps off-chain data updated and accessible, ensuring data integrity and privacy. The $ONDW token supports the ecosystem, serving two core functions: paying for in-app services and staking for platform revenue. The project is currently in its Private Sale and Beta Rollout phase, with plans for a mainnet launch and public sale in Q3-Q4 2025.
OroBit’s blockchain protocol built on Bitcoin, securely automates tokenization, ownership management, and compliance processes, providing the infrastructure for institutional-grade adoption of tokenized RWAs
The GENIUS Act, passed in the US, is paving the way for the mainstream adoption of real-world asset tokenization, which is expected to surpass $16 trillion this decade. Fintech pioneer Thomas Carter’s Deal Box and blockchain infrastructure innovator OroBit are at the forefront of this financial evolution, as they are prepared to harness the converging opportunities. The Act provides explicit regulatory guidelines for stablecoins and digital assets, clarifying critical elements such as reserve requirements, monthly audits, AML compliance, and dual federal and state licensing oversight. This regulatory clarity aligns with growing institutional interest in cryptocurrency markets, driven by recent Bitcoin ETF approvals and increased investment from banks and asset managers. The unified ecosystem they have crafted, powered by an enterprise-grade AI platform, is redefining how private equity, real estate, and other high-value assets are owned, traded, and managed globally.
New Coinbase Stablecoin Bootstrap Fund leverages protocol-level asset allocation and automated liquidity workflows on top DeFi platforms, enabling early-stage onchain stablecoin market growth
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has launched another installment of its Stablecoin Bootstrap Fund. The fund follows the 2019 debut of the initial fund, aimed at helping decentralized finance (DeFi) developers establish liquid marketplaces. The new fund will be overseen by Coinbase Asset Management (CBAM), with its first placements on Aave, Morpho, Kamino and Jupiter to bolster stablecoin liquidity within their ecosystems. The fund follows the 2019 debut of the initial fund, aimed at helping decentralized finance (DeFi) developers establish liquid marketplaces. The new fund will be overseen by Coinbase Asset Management (CBAM), with its first placements on Aave, Morpho, Kamino and Jupiter to bolster stablecoin liquidity within their ecosystems. “As we scale the fund over time and distribute liquidity across more protocols and stablecoins, we’re particularly eager to collaborate with pre-launch teams or those seeking to drive stablecoin growth from day one,” the company said. “We believe the future of finance is onchain, and we’re excited to lead the way by putting Coinbase’s own resources to work. The Stablecoin Bootstrap Fund is another effort that reflects our commitment to fostering a thriving onchain ecosystem.” The initial fund helped seed onchain liquidity for Coinbase’s USDC stablecoin across a variety of “blue-chip DeFi protocols, such as Uniswap, Compound and dYdX, helping drive robust liquidity in the early innings of DeFi.”
Custody platforms are emerging as the core infrastructure for governing token operations through programmable rules, multi-layer approvals, role-based access, and integration-ready APIs for institutions navigating hybrid environments
Custody is the core infrastructure layer that makes institutional participation in digital assets not just possible but profitable. Modern custody platforms serve as critical mission-control layers, orchestrating transaction workflows, enforcing policy, supporting compliance and enabling the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) at scale. Ripple Custody is built for this new paradigm, enabling institutions, fintechs, and crypto businesses to govern token operations through programmable rules, multi-layer approvals, role-based access, and integration-ready APIs. Security is table stakes with Ripple’s system being ISO 27001-certified, SOC 2 audited, and supporting the most rigorous key management architectures on the market. However, its flexibility sets it apart, as it supports a range of deployment options, including on-prem, SaaS, or a hybrid of the two. This allows financial institutions to align custody models with internal policy, client demands, and jurisdictional requirements. The market for real-world asset tokenization is accelerating fast, with forecasts projecting the tokenized RWA market will grow from $0.6 trillion in 2025 to nearly $19 trillion by 2033. Ripple Custody is built with this reality in mind, enabling institutions to define multi-party approval flows, enforce transaction policies down to asset, role, and time-based rules, and lock in governance frameworks that reduce the risk of social engineering, collusion, and unapproved access. Bridging TradFi and Web3, Ripple Custody bridges both crypto-native and TradFi-oriented platforms. With over a decade of experience operating across crypto markets and institutional finance, Ripple brings a dual advantage: a deep understanding of blockchain infrastructure and a real fluency in bank-grade systems. Custody enables what comes next, as institutions move from tokenization theory to practice. It’s not about picking a vault; it’s about selecting a partner that can evolve with your business as strategies mature. Ripple Custody offers institutions a platform, not a black box, and strategic enablement. Custody systems must now support: Tokenized securities and bonds, with customizable workflows and strict governance; Money Market Funds and private credit, which demand real-time settlement, role-based access and policy-based controls; Stablecoins, with over $215 billion in circulation as of mid-2025, and growing relevance in cross-border treasury flows.
Visa CEO Ryan McInerney expanded upon the card network’s stablecoin strategy during the company’s quarterly earnings call with investors Tuesday night, offering a more detailed look at how it’s thinking about deploying the digital assets. Visa has been testing stablecoins on Visa Direct, its instant payments scheme and remittance platform, and specifically looking at cross-border transactions where the settlement still has a delay. Sending money from a Visa card to a bank account in an emerging market is one example of where the transaction may not be instant because of local banking infrastructure. “We’ve been testing a series of corridors and putting stablecoins to work directly versus the fiat currency money movement options that we’re able to deliver… and at this point, we’ve got a pretty good sense on each corridor we can provide faster money movement, cheaper money movement,” McInerney said. Visa in March laid out its broad view on stablecoins, saying that key use cases were in emerging markets, where local fiat currency was volatile or customers didn’t have easy or affordable access to U.S. dollars, and in cross-border payments.
McInerney said that Visa was piloting with stablecoin payments companies specializing in emerging markets, such as stablecoin infrastructure company Yellow Card in sub-Saharan Africa, as it builds out its stablecoin treasury stack for settlement and money movement. To that end Visa has been looking to expand the reach of its multi- chain stablecoin settlement capabilities on its network and added a Euro-backed stablecoin, EURC and USDG and PYUSD. “We are also adding support for two additional blockchains, Stellar and Avalanche, enabling us to support four stablecoins running on four unique blockchains representing two currencies that we can then accept and convert to over 25 traditional fiat currencies across the world,” McInerney said. Visa is also helping banks issue their own stablecoins and develop programmable money through its Tokenized Asset Platform, and sees an opportunity for stablecoin adoption to boost the digitization of consumer, small business and commercial payments in those emerging markets. “So to the extent that stablecoins get adopted in a broad-based way by both consumers and businesses, and assuming that we are able to continue to have success with our playbook of making Visa cards the preferred way for people who have stablecoins in those markets to pay for things, I think that could accelerate our progress,” McInerney said.
Coinbase’s SDK offers built-in features like crypto onramps, token swaps and a 4.1% annual return on USDC balances to let developers integrate self-custodial wallets into their Web3 apps and enables onboarding through email, SMS or OAuth
Coinbase has introduced a tool in its Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) designed to let developers integrate self-custodial wallets into their apps without any hiccups. The Embedded Wallets software developer kit (SDK) includes built-in features like crypto onramps, token swaps and a 4.1% annual return on USDC balances, aiming to eliminate the tradeoff between user experience and custody risk. Unlike traditional wallet integrations that require browser extensions or seed phrases, CDP Embedded Wallets enables onboarding through email, SMS or OAuth. Users will be able to begin transacting right away, while developers retain full control over the front-end experience, without touching custody or managing complex compliance requirements. Coinbase said the SDK will be the “everything wallet” for Web3 builders, offering a good user experience with enterprise-grade infrastructure. It runs on the same systems that power Coinbase DEX, offering secured key management, recovery services and future support for smart contract accounts. With use cases spanning decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, fintech and creator platforms, the Embedded Wallets SDK reflects a growing demand for crypto to become more accessible.
Ripple’s Rail integration lets businesses send stablecoin payments via traditional banking UI, with instant XRPL-based settlement and no crypto exposure, targeting SWIFT’s cross-border dominance
The Rail acquisition marks Ripple’s deeper push into B2B digital asset transactions, where stablecoins, including the upcoming Ripple stablecoin (RLUSD) are rapidly gaining traction. Rail’s core tech allows businesses to send and receive stablecoin payments without directly handling crypto assets or needing exchange accounts, solving key adoption barriers. Backed by integrations with over 12 banks, Rail’s platform streamlines regulatory compliance and operational friction — a perfect complement to Ripple’s 60+ global licenses and extensive payment rails. Analysts now speculate that Ripple and Rail together could process over 10% of the $36B global B2B stablecoin market in 2025, significantly advancing XRP’s role in enterprise payments. By acquiring Rail, Ripple removes the friction that has historically blocked enterprise blockchain adoption. Businesses can now access blockchain-settled stablecoin payments via familiar banking interfaces, with Rail handling behind-the-scenes tokenization and settlement. Funds can flow across major currency corridors without crypto exposure on corporate balance sheets. “We’ve built the fastest way to settle business payments with stablecoins,” said Rail CEO Bhanu Kohli. “By 2025, we expect to process more than 10 percent of the $36 billion B2B market.” This integration also adds 24/7 liquidity support for XRP, RLUSD, and other Ripple-linked assets — eliminating the settlement downtime common in legacy banking systems. The goal is clear: Ripple is not just growing — it’s aiming to own the rails for global digital asset payments. Ripple’s payment infrastructure, built on the XRPL, enables instant settlements and low-cost transactions, in stark contrast to SWIFT’s multi-day, high-fee framework. With institutional adoption rising and on-chain liquidity models becoming the norm, XRP is now seen as a viable bridge currency for global settlements. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently predicted that XRP could handle up to 14% of SWIFT’s transaction volume within five years. This bold projection underscores Ripple’s growing institutional partnerships and its ambitions to dominate cross-border value movement. According to a Ripple report, demand for XRP is expected to rise alongside utility, particularly as the company deepens its regulatory moat and expands its product suite for businesses and governments.
