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.

How To Solve 5 Ways Organizations Fail To Develop Curiosity At Work

How To Solve 5 Ways Organizations Fail To Develop Curiosity At Work

The post How To Solve 5 Ways Organizations Fail To Develop Curiosity At Work appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. How To Solve 5 Ways Organizations Fail To Develop Curiosity At Work getty Many organizations are working hard to build a culture of curiosity, yet they often struggle to measure whether those efforts are making a difference. Without a way to track curiosity before and after training, it is difficult to know if employees are changing how they approach questions, ideas, and technology at work. That challenge led me to begin creating an assessment designed to measure curiosity specifically in the workplace. As part of developing that tool, I ran a survey with 200 full-time employees across the United States to see how they would respond to curiosity-focused questions. The results gave me an early read on the effectiveness of the questions, but they also revealed something more important: curiosity is thriving in individuals, yet struggling to gain consistent reinforcement from leadership and culture. Leaders Don’t Encourage Curiosity getty 1. Leaders Don’t Encourage Curiosity In the survey, just 59 percent of employees agreed that leaders in their workplace encourage questions and curiosity. The encouraging side is that employees themselves are still showing confidence in asking questions. The discouraging side is that leaders are not consistently reinforcing it. Without reinforcement, curiosity fails to thrive. When leaders fail to listen, the results can be costly. In aviation and manufacturing, there have been well-documented cases where employees flagged issues but were ignored. What might have been solved in early questioning became disasters later on. That is the cost of leaders who silence curiosity rather than encourage it. On the other hand, companies that put curiosity at the center of leadership practice show what is possible. Microsoft under Satya Nadella became a different organization by emphasizing growth mindset and encouraging leaders to listen and ask. Employees reported more freedom to question long-held practices, and…

New DeFi Airdrop Opportunity Goes Live for Early Users

New DeFi Airdrop Opportunity Goes Live for Early Users

The post New DeFi Airdrop Opportunity Goes Live for Early Users appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins Yei Finance is taking a decisive step in the Sei ecosystem with the launch of Clovis (CLO), its long-awaited native token. On September 4, registration officially opened for users and liquidity providers who want eligibility for the upcoming airdrop. The registration period runs until September 30, giving participants nearly a month to secure their place. Afterward, Yei Finance will confirm token allocations before finally allowing claims. Once this process is complete, CLO will go live across the Clovis ecosystem, setting the stage for active use in DeFi products. A Bigger Role for Sei’s Leading Protocol Clovis is more than just a token drop — it represents Yei Finance’s evolution from being the largest dApp on Sei into what the team calls a “cross-chain operating system.” The project’s ambition is to create a seamless liquidity hub that integrates multiple blockchains, moving far beyond its original roots. The pre-deposit vault for CLO will reopen next week, offering another opportunity for early adopters to position themselves before wider circulation begins. For many, this marks one of the most important token launches in the Sei ecosystem to date, with potential to attract liquidity from outside chains as well. Community and Market Expectations Community anticipation is running high, as CLO is expected to become a cornerstone token within Sei’s expanding DeFi ecosystem. With more protocols looking to build on Sei, CLO could emerge as both a governance asset and a gateway to deeper liquidity. Speculation is already heating up about its market debut. While Yei Finance has not disclosed exact distribution figures, analysts note that strong participation in the pre-deposit vault could set the tone for early price action. Some observers expect CLO to mirror the launch momentum seen by tokens like SEI itself — rapid volatility followed by gradual consolidation as utility expands.…

According to a Thursday announcement, the company plans to launch global “stablecoin orchestration services” through its regulated entities. It aims to provide stablecoin infrastructure, including a dedicated layer-1 protocol, orchestration services and a full suite of compliant fiat solutions. 1Money says its regulated footprint enables it to support both stablecoin and real-world asset (RWA) issuers. Its customers would be allowed to mint stablecoins and RWA tokens and connect them with the traditional banking system. 1Money co-founder and CEO Brian Shroder explained that the licenses enable the company to “orchestrate stablecoin flows across both traditional rails and emerging blockchain infrastructure.” Related: PayPal just enabled crypto for 650M users: Here’s what that actually means Stablecoin payments are on the rise This summer, a slew of news indicated that stablecoins are garnering increasing interest.

Crypto Volatility Alert: Friday’s US Jobs Report Could Trigger Major Move

Crypto Volatility Alert: Friday’s US Jobs Report Could Trigger Major Move

The August US labor readings have turned Friday’s nonfarm payrolls into a live-fire macro event for crypto. On Wednesday, ADP’s private payrolls rose by just 54,000—well under the forecast—and job openings have slipped on the latest JOLTS print, sharpening focus on whether the Federal Reserve will confirm a long-telegraphed September rate cut. Why Tomorrow Could Be Crucial For The Crypto Market As crypto analyst Kevin (Kev Capital TA) put it, “JOLTS report indicates that job openings are slightly weakening. This will catch the attention of the Fed. Labor market report on Friday just got bigger in terms of importance.” He added today that “very low volume and very little liquidity [are] flowing around… classic August/September behavior while the markets wait for key economic data and monetary policy updates going into Q4,” stressing that “price action will likely be mediocre at best” until the FOMC meeting on September 17. The data backdrop is decisively softer. ADP’s August report showed private-sector employment increased by 54,000 and annual pay rose 4.4% year-over-year; July was revised to a 106,000 gain. The miss versus expectations underscores a cooling trend into Friday’s official Employment Situation release. Related Reading: Spot Crypto Trading Gets Major Green Light From US Regulators Separately, initial jobless claims climbed to 237,000 in the week ended August 30, up 8,000 from the prior week, while the BLS’s July JOLTS showed job openings at 7.2 million, down from a revised 7.4 million in June, with declines led by health care and retail. Together these indicators argue that labor demand is easing and that slack is edging higher. The calendar makes the stakes plain. The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases August nonfarm payrolls on Friday, September 5, at 8:30 a.m. ET, and the FOMC meets on September 16–17, with a press conference scheduled on the 17th. As of today, derivatives markets imply that a quarter-point cut in September is overwhelmingly priced. In other words, the next incremental move in crypto is less about whether the Fed cuts and more about how Friday’s labor internals—headline payrolls, unemployment rate, and labor-force participation—reshape the expected path of cuts into year-end. Price action mirrors the wait-and-see tone that Kevin describes. Related Reading: Crypto To Overtake The Dollar? Ray Dalio Flags End Of Debt Cycle Liquidity is thin intraday and reactive to headlines, a profile that often produces range maintenance rather than trend extension into marquee macro releases. For altcoins, rate-path expectations and dollar moves typically dictate beta. When a user asked Kevin for “the next target for DOGE when we get the rate cut on the 17th?”, he answered bluntly: “That rate cut is already priced into the market my friend.” The logic is consistent with futures-implied probabilities; a “cut confirmed” headline is less catalytic than a deviation in the odds for additional easing after September. DOGE itself is hovering near $0.216 intraday, and like the broader market it has been tracking bitcoin’s range as traders prioritize Friday’s jobs data over directional bets. Why tomorrow’s Jobs Report is pivotal for crypto is straightforward and mechanical. First, the print will refine expectations for the Fed’s reaction function into the September 16–17 meeting and beyond; the rate path filters directly into global liquidity conditions, term premia, and the dollar, all of which feed crypto risk appetite. Second, after July’s disappointing government report and the ADP/claims/JOLTS trio this week, another soft employment reading would validate a slowdown narrative and keep additional 2025 cuts in play—whereas a surprise re-acceleration would push back against the easing path and likely firm yields and the dollar, a headwind for high-beta crypto. At press time, BTC traded at $109,551. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

What if Governance Felt Like a Game?

What if Governance Felt Like a Game?

Ask most crypto users about governance, and you’ll get a shrug. Voting feels abstract, slow, and disconnected from everyday use of the protocol. Proposals are written like legal briefs. Turnout is abysmal. For a space obsessed with “community,” governance often feels more like filing taxes than shaping the future of the network. But what if governance felt like a game? Not in the trivial sense of turning votes into leaderboards or airdropping badges for showing up, those are shallow skins. I mean governance as a lived, playable system: one where mechanics, feedback loops, and incentives mirror the dynamics of a multiplayer game. The Problem: Governance as Homework Current on-chain governance designs assume participation = duty. You stake, you delegate, you read the forums, you vote. It’s a moral responsibility more than an engaging activity. The trouble is: duty doesn’t scale. People optimize for convenience, not civic virtue. That’s why most users passively delegate, and a handful of whales set direction. If participation feels like homework, it’s rational to skip class. The Shift: Governance as a Playable System Games thrive because they’re designed around feedback: you act, the system responds immediately, and your choices have visible consequences. Governance could borrow this logic. Progression mechanics: Voting earns XP toward new roles — not just cosmetic, but unlocking different governance powers. Dynamic arenas: Instead of every vote looking the same, high-stakes proposals could play out in unique formats — multi-round decisions, alliances, or even simulations. Narratives: Protocol decisions aren’t just numbers. They’re part of an evolving story — “This DAO is pivoting from stability to growth” — and players (voters) shape the arc. The idea isn’t to trivialize governance. It’s to recognize that humans engage when systems feel alive, responsive, and participatory. The Risk: When Games Corrupt Play Of course, games can also distort. If governance becomes too gamified, you risk replacing civic engagement with dopamine loops. Players might vote not because they care, but because they’re chasing XP or leaderboard status. Worse, gaming mechanics can be exploited: coordinated guilds farming governance rewards, whales buying influence disguised as “progression.” The challenge isn’t adding points and badges. It’s designing meaningful play mechanics that deepen engagement without hollowing out legitimacy. The Future: Playable Politics Imagine a future where joining a protocol feels like joining a guild in an MMO. You start small — a foot soldier voting on micro-decisions. Over time, your contributions, consistency, and alignment with community goals level you up into more influential roles. Governance ceases to be a burden and becomes a living arena where decisions are experienced, not just recorded. This doesn’t mean turning DeFi into Candy Crush. It means treating governance as design: balancing fairness, incentives, feedback, and narrative. In a world where most protocols struggle to get 5% turnout, maybe the radical path forward is not another governance framework PDF — but a game worth playing.

Bitcoin vs. Berkshire Hathaway: A Tale of Two Titans

Bitcoin vs. Berkshire Hathaway: A Tale of Two Titans

Bitcoin vs Berkshire Hathaway One could argue that Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) is the Bitcoin of traditional investing. With the stock price closing at $755,280 as of the writing of this article, credit is certainly due to Mr. Buffett and the late Charlie Munger for their Einsteinian understanding of business and finance. Buffett acquires straightforward and simple businesses like Jordan’s Furniture, which was founded in 1918. He recently purchased Bell Laboratories, a private rodent control company. Many of these companies are not well known. Berkshire Hathaway acquires companies based on fundamentals, not popularity. Although Buffett owns shares of recognizable brands like Apple (AAPL), the list of companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway is vanilla. Bitcoin is not vanilla. Bitcoin does not sell furniture or candy, nor does it make rat poison. It is an exotic financial digital asset that does not depend on a board of directors to decide if the Bitcoin halving will occur. The halving simply happens, driven by code. How fitting — Buffett once described Bitcoin as rat poison, yet he ended up buying a company that makes rat poison. Crypto is too exotic for Buffett.Buffet on Bitcoin How is Bitcoin and Berkshire Hathaway Alike? The most obvious similarity between them is their price. Both assets are high-priced. There is anticipation and excitement about when Bitcoin’s (BTC) price will reach one million, but Berkshire Hathaway’s Class A shares (BRK.A) are about $300,000 away from that milestone. Although both assets are currently high-priced, they were inexpensive in their early days. Fool.com: Bitcoin did not exist in 1964, but in 2009, it was priced at less than a penny. Bitcoinmagazine.com: Let’s have a little fun based on this transaction. The following prices are based on the previous day’s close as of September 1, 2025. Let’s compare 5,050 (BTC) against 5,050 (BRK.A). Asset Performance Comparison: BRK-A vs BTC Both assets performed beautifully, and the results are impressive. Bitcoin wins in terms of percentage gains, but Berkshire Hathaway takes the lead in dollar gains. Either way, investors would be pleased with both returns. For perspective, at a price of $11.375, just $22.75 (two shares) invested in Berkshire Hathaway would now be worth $1.5 million based on the current price shown in the table above. For the past five years, both titans have convincingly outperformed the S&P 500. Let’s look at Berkshire Hathaway first.StockCharts.com: BRK.A vs S&P500 Let’s take a look at Bitcoin vs. the S&P 500.StockCharts.com: BTC vs. S&P500 Now, let’s see how BTC has performed against BRK.A over the past five years.StockCharts.com: BRK.A vs. BTC In terms of percentage gains, Bitcoin has outperformed Berkshire Hathaway and the S&P 500. The unicorn feat of those dollar-value and percentage price gains is driven by another commonality between the assets: scarcity. Both assets have a limited supply; most of Bitcoin’s supply has already been mined. Cointelegraph.com: As of the most recent data, Berkshire Hathaway has approximately 1.44 million Class A shares outstanding, with earnings per share of $43,760.15 over the past 12 months. Absolutely mind-blowing! With a forward P/E ratio of 23, that implies a stock price estimate of over a million dollars. With such scarce supply and strong demand from investors, the prices of Berkshire Hathaway and Bitcoin behave according to the basic economics of supply and demand. When there is strong demand for a rare asset, its price will likely appreciate. Although Bitcoin has its share of doubters, both assets are highly regarded by investors. Bitcoin currently has a market cap of $2.19 trillion, while Berkshire Hathaway’s market cap stands at $1.09 trillion. A significant amount of money has been invested in both. Berkshire Hathaway's institutional ownership is 54.15%. As of August 2025, institutional investors collectively hold approximately 30.9% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply, equating to about 6.1 million BTC. This includes holdings by public companies, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and government entities. Notably, MicroStrategy (now known as Strategy) remains the largest corporate holder, owning around 597,000 BTC. And finally, let’s have some more fun and see who is richer: Satoshi Nakamoto or Warren Buffett?As of 9/4/2025 The Oracle of Omaha wins for now, but as Bitcoin's supply continues to diminish through the halving, and with sustained demand, the value of Nakamoto’s holdings will likely appreciate.
