RWA

RWA (Real World Assets) refers to the tokenization of tangible assets—such as real estate, private credit, and government bonds—on the blockchain. By bringing traditional financial instruments on-chain, RWA protocols like Ondo and Centrifuge provide DeFi users with stable, real-yield opportunities. In 2026, the RWA sector is a multi-trillion-dollar bridge between TradFi and DeFi, enabling fractional ownership and global liquidity for previously illiquid assets.

Kazakhstan to Move Reserve Wealth Into Crypto — Which Countries Showed Them the Way?

Kazakhstan to Move Reserve Wealth Into Crypto — Which Countries Showed Them the Way?

Kazakhstan is moving deeper into crypto, following the lead of sovereign funds in the US, Norway and the Middle East. It now plans to channel part of its gold and foreign exchange reserves, along with National Fund assets, into digital asset-related investments. The announcement came from National Bank Chairman Timur Suleimenov, who revealed at a recent press conference that Kazakhstan’s alternative portfolios will soon include exposure to crypto assets, local outlet Kursiv reported . These portfolios follow more aggressive investment strategies, aiming for higher returns while accepting a greater level of risk. Kazakhstan plans to allocate part of its national reserves to crypto assets and set up a national crypto reserve for confiscated assets, while exploring state-owned enterprises’ involvement in mining. https://t.co/KsrtgpATUe — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) July 14, 2025 Officials Cite Global Examples as Kazakhstan Mulls Crypto Exposure for Reserves “We looked at the experience of the Norwegian fund, the American experience, the experience of the Middle East funds,” Suleimenov said. “They have certain investments either in crypto assets directly or in ETFs and shares of companies that are closely related to crypto assets. They are quite small.” While the scale of Kazakhstan’s investment remains undecided, the country is clearly signaling its intent to join a growing club of sovereign wealth managers who see crypto as part of a diversified portfolio. Suleimenov stressed, however, that volatility remains a concern. “This is a difficult question, so there is no need to rush here,” he said. “Yes, such assets can bring high returns, but at the same time they are highly volatile.” Crypto Reserve to Be Funded by State Mining and Seized Crypto Holdings In a separate but related move, the National Bank confirmed plans to build a state crypto reserve. This new digital fund will store assets confiscated in criminal cases and could eventually receive contributions from state-backed crypto mining operations. Infrastructure to manage and safeguard this reserve is already under development. Suleimenov added that if enterprises mine crypto on behalf of the state, a portion of those earnings, through taxes or other obligations, could be funneled into the reserve. As Legal Infrastructure Grows, Kazakhstan Tightens Oversight on Unlicensed Crypto Activity Kazakhstan’s crypto ambitions go beyond investment. Last month, the government said it would formally introduce a legal framework for a state-run crypto reserve . The model will borrow international best practices from sovereign funds, including transparency, sound governance and long-term sustainability. Still, regulatory caution remains. Kazakhstan’s authorities have proposed new administrative and criminal penalties for transactions involving digital assets on the grey market. Currently, crypto trading is permitted only through licensed platforms based in the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC). The central bank also plans to curb digital asset advertising to reduce retail exposure. Kazakhstan’s evolving relationship with crypto began in 2021, when Chinese miners relocated following Beijing’s clampdown on the industry. At its peak, the country handled over 27% of global Bitcoin mining activity. Although low energy costs initially made Kazakhstan attractive, the surge overwhelmed the power grid and exposed gaps in regulation. Now, with stricter rules and a clearer policy roadmap, Kazakhstan looks set to cement its place in the global crypto economy, both as a mining base and a sovereign investor.

Roman Storm’s Counsel Points To “Serious Errors” In Prosecution’s Case As Trial Kicks Off

Roman Storm’s Counsel Points To “Serious Errors” In Prosecution’s Case As Trial Kicks Off

The legal defense team of Roman Storm is calling out what they call “serious errors” in the prosecution’s case against him as the Tornado Cash developer’s trial kicks off the week of July 14. Serious Issues In Tornado Cash Case, Lawyers For Roman Storm Say According to a late Friday court filing by Storm’s counsel, lawyers for Storm allege that the prosecution’s case against the high-profile developer contains “serious errors” and “factual inaccuracies” that purportedly “call into question the integrity of its intended presentation to the jury.” Dear Crypto Community & Privacy Advocates, This is an urgent call: My trial begins July 14, and we’re facing a critical shortfall. I need to raise $500K in the next few days and $1.5M within a couple of weeks to sustain our fight – covering escalating legal fees, expert… https://t.co/AImotqvJVD — Roman Storm 🇺🇸 🌪️ (@rstormsf) July 12, 2025 Storm’s lawyers claim that key Telegram messages from alleged co-conspirator Alex Pertsev’s phone, which the prosecution plans to present in court, are “cherry-picked” and “missing information identifying the author of messages that are forwarded.” “It appears the Telegram messages that were extracted are not accurate,” the defense states in the July 12 court document. “The fact that they are plainly missing critical information undermines their reliability.” Tornado Cash Developer Begs For Contributions As Trial Begins News of the court filing comes as the trial against Storm begins in the Manhattan Federal Courthouse on July 14, on charges of money laundering, conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, and sanctions violations for his role at the crypto mixer . In a July 12 X post, Storm called on his followers to support his case in an “urgent” plea to bolster contributions. “I need to raise $500K in the next few days and $1.5M within a couple of weeks to sustain our fight—covering escalating legal fees, expert witnesses, and research as the case extends beyond the initial 2-week projection,” Storm wrote. “My team is working nonstop to defend code as free speech, protect software development, and push back against government overreach that threatens us all,” he added. If convicted, Storm faces a maximum sentence of 45 years behind bars for charges connected to the crypto company , though the judge and federal sentencing guidelines will determine just exactly how long he could get.
