For years, RWA tokenization was a tomorrow story. In 2026, it has officially become a today reality. While the retail market often fixates on the price action of speculative tokens, a far more profound transformation is occurring in the boring sectors of the industry, trade finance, regulated credit, and treasury management.

Despite broad market weakness and waves of forced liquidations across crypto, DeFi’s total value locked (TVL) has proven surprisingly resilient — a signal that traders are still attempting to generate yields despite bearish sentiment flooding the crypto market. Over the past week crypto majors BTC, $ETH, XRP and SOL fell to multi-year lows, with $ETH now losing 21% of its value over the past seven days alone. But that drop off didn’t translate into outflows from DeFi protocols. Total value locked fell from $120 billion to $105 billion, a 12% downturn as it outperformed the market. The 12% drop off…

Coinbase has integrated the Jupiter exchange directly into its on-chain stack, enabling the trading of Solana-based assets on the platform. Users under the new integration can deploy existing Coinbase balances and payment methods to trade Solana tokens from a self-custodial wallet.

Jupiter will act as the execution engine, aggregating liquidity across Solana DEXs, settling trades on-chain, and optimizing trading routes. Meanwhile, Coinbase will provide the distribution, on-…

The Flare blockchain has introduced lending and borrowing for $XRP-linked assets through an integration with Morpho, a crypto lending protocol that runs across multiple Ethereum compatible chains. The update lets users lend and borrow with FXRP, a version of $XRP designed for use on Flare, the team behind the blockchain said on Monday. Flare pitched the move as a step toward giving $XRP holders more ways to earn yield and use their tokens beyond holding or trading. For years, $XRP has had fewer decentralized finance (DeFi) options than tokens built on smart contract networks. Flare has been trying to change…
