The UAE is fast becoming a crypto epicenter, driven by pro-innovation policies, tax incentives, and a surge in institutional adoption 💪 Here's a concise overview of our comprehensive report on the current State of Crypto in the UAE 🧵👇

Real-world Yield or RWAFI is a good practical usecase of RWAs and tokenization

BlackRock says most investor demand for crypto #ETFs is focused on #Bitcoin and #Ethereum. The firm recently launched the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF $ETHB. @BlackRock also said more than 90% of investors in its iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) are long-term holders accumulating Bitcoin.

Analysis shows that 148 publicly traded companies now hold #Bitcoin on their balance sheets, collectively controlling more than 1.16 million BTC, worth roughly $82 billion at recent market prices. Corporate BTC ownership remains highly concentrated, with one firm, Strategy, holding 738,731 BTC, representing 63.6% of all Bitcoin. $BTC is increasingly appearing in corporate treasury strategies as institutional infrastructure evolves.

Banks are quietly preparing for the next #Crypto compliance wave U.S. banking regulators confirmed that tokenized securities, traditional financial instruments represented on blockchain, should generally follow the same capital rules as their conventional counterparts. Clearer rules for tokenized securities may speed up institutional adoption. #Tokenization #UnitedStates

Analysts say large investors are increasingly locking up #Eth for yield rather than positioning to sell into market rallies. Roughly 3.4 million $ETH is waiting to enter Ethereum’s validator set, creating one of the longest staking queues since the network transitioned to proof-of-stake. Anecdotal industry feedback suggests major corporates and exchanges are driving much of the demand as they seek yield on large #crypto holdings. The backlog marks a sharp shift from late 2025, when the validator exit queue swelled to nearly 2.7 million ETH before steadily unwinding.

Tokenized gold assets have surpassed a $6 billion market cap, buoyed by increased accumulation from large holders seeking on-chain exposure to bullion. The trend highlights growing demand for regulated digital representations of precious metals as alternative stores of value amid macro uncertainty and capital rotation in #DigitalAssets markets 🪙 #GOLD #tokenisation

Ethereum has outlined a bold 10-year roadmap focused on scalability, sustainability, and broad ecosystem growth. Core priorities include parallelisation upgrades, enhanced consensus mechanisms, modular execution layers, and expanded tooling for developers and institutional integration. The strategy emphasises long-term utility, #DeFi and #RWA adoption as pillars of future network expansion. #Ethereum #ETHUSDT

Bitcoin fell below $65,000 on Sunday night as a mix of macroeconomic headlines hit already weak market confidence in risk assets. Nearly $360 million in #crypto long positions were liquidated in an hour, according to Coinglass’ heatmap based on available data. #Bitcoin

OpenAI and Paradigm are unveiling EVMbench, which will test the 'ability of #AIagents to detect, patch, and exploit high-severity #smartcontracts vulnerabilities.' Moonwell and CrossCurve both recently suffered smart contract-related attacks. #OpenAI #EVM

Bitcoin just absorbed $2.3 billion in realized losses, placing the current selloff among the most severe capitulation events on record 🔻 According to on-chain data, the magnitude rivals the stress seen during the 2021 leverage unwind and the 2022 FTX collapse. Historically, similar loss spikes have appeared near market inflection points 💹 #Bitcoin #Crypto $BTC

Ether is showing signs of underlying strength despite muted price action. Recent data shows $71 million in #ETF inflows, stable $13 billion in ETF AUM, and weekly #Ethereum DEX volumes doubling to $20 billion, highlighting rising institutional demand and on-chain activity. These metrics suggest $ETH may be building a foundation for a potential move toward the $2,400 level 🚀

As heard the legends say, Tokenisation is the need of the hour for all industries on an institutional level 🤝 Tokenizing assets globally reduces retail friction, allowing fractional ownership, lower fees, and more ownership of assets on-chain 🪙 #tokenfi #RWAs #Web3News #Crypto

Bitcoin traded near $73,000, retracing gains achieved following #PresidentTrump's election-night outcome. The pullback reflects broader profit-taking and renewed market volatility, highlighting that short-term price momentum remains sensitive to macro drivers despite earlier post-election strength. #BTC #Bitcoin

The stablecoin sector has recorded a notable contraction over the past ten days, with total market cap declining by approximately $2.7 billion 💸 The move coincides with renewed strength in precious metals, as both gold and silver pushed to fresh all-time highs. Importantly, #stablecoins are often treated as neutral #Infrastructure and not directional bets 🪙 Therefore, changes in their aggregate supply can provide insight into broader liquidity conditions and investor behavior.

The Netherlands is preparing a significant overhaul of its capital taxation framework 📜 This would introduce taxes on both realized and unrealized gains across #CryptoMarket A majority of lawmakers are signaling support for the reform, and it’s expected to take effect in 2028. #Legal #Defi #DigitalAssets

Bitcoin slipped below $88,000 on Sunday evening as a broad risk-off mood weighed on the #CryptoMarkets 📊 Analysts cited rising #UnitedStates government shutdown risk, driven by funding uncertainty and political deadlock, as the main pressure on risky #digitalassets 🪙 #Bitcoin #BTC

DeFi’s growth is increasingly driven by on-chain usage metrics rather than price movements alone. Rising active addresses, transaction counts, and protocol engagement signal sustained ecosystem adoption, even during periods of muted token performance. This reinforces the view that real-world utility and user activity are material indicators of decentralized finance maturity and long-term value creation 🤝 #Ethereum #DeFi

Ethereum network activity reached a record high in daily transactions while average network fees declined to multi-year lows 📉 The combination of elevated throughput and reduced cost reflects greater efficiency and usability on Ethereum, driven by scalable Layer-2 adoption and optimized fee markets. This dynamic supports broader on-chain activity across DeFi, NFTs, and institutional use cases.
