A popular crypto analyst, presenting via a YouTube podcast , identified Real-World Asset (RWA) tokens he expects will dominate the next phase of crypto market growth. The analyst highlighted the RWA sector’s 2024 successes and stressed the potential opportunities ahead for crypto investors going into Q2 2025. For instance, he believes RWAs will become a $30 trillion industry globally by 2030, suggesting investment in the sector now could prove prudent. The analyst specifically identified Clearpool (CPOOL), Ondo Finance (ONDO), Plume (PLUME), and Mantra (MANTRA, token OM) as leading RWA projects positioned to potentially lead this next market phase. He cited fundamental factors behind these projects’ development that he believes support their future adoption, building on existing progress. The analyst highlighted CPOOL as the first decentralized credit marketplace primarily focused on the RWA sector. He distinguished it from typical DeFi lending protocols due to its focus on under-collateralized lending mainly aimed at institutional borrowers. He noted CPOOL’s potential appeal to traditional finance (TradFi) participants and its unique protocol features. These elements allow investors to gain ETF-style exposure to private credit RWAs with DeFi-like flexibility, which he believes will boost project adoption.

Ondo Finance’s reported success in 2024 also highlighted the RWA project sector’s potential and growing adoption possibilities. Many institutions reportedly prefer Ondo for gaining safer, compliant exposure to tokenized real-world assets. This focus signals long-term viability to certain investors. ONDO’s significant institutional backing and strategic partnerships support its goals. Firms cited as partners or collaborators include BlackRock, Google, MasterCard, and Ripple. Related: MANTRA Holds Top Spot in RWA Market as Ondo and Maker Trail Plume is building the first Layer-1 (L1) blockchain dedicated solely to RWA tokenization and trading. The analyst considers this unique focus a key advantage that will likely boost the project’s adoption significantly. Plume’s customized L1 chain emphasizes features critical for RWAs, including regulatory compliance frameworks, scalability for high volume, and interoperability with other chains. The platform has already seen substantial ecosystem growth, with over 180 projects reportedly building on its network. Mantra (OM token) has maintained its status as a leading RWA project based on its market presence and focus. The analyst projected it would remain among the top RWA players long-term. Mantra is currently one of the top RWA-focused projects by market cap, with clear potential according to the analysis. The project focuses on bringing diverse real-world assets onto the blockchain by providing a regulated, institution-friendly platform specifically designed for tokenizing these assets compliantly.

Japan’s publicly listed bitcoin treasury company, Metaplanet Inc. (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 3350 / OTCQX: MTPLF), announced on April 1 that it had increased its bitcoin reserves by 696 BTC during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The acquisition was carried out through the company’s Bitcoin Income Generation business, which utilizes a strategy of selling cash-secured put options to generate income and accumulate bitcoin at advantageous prices. The firm disclosed that the bitcoin was purchased at an average price of 14,586,230 yen per bitcoin, totaling 10.152 billion yen in value. These transactions bring Metaplanet’s total bitcoin holdings to 4,046 BTC, with a cumulative average cost of 12,943,181 yen per coin. The company detailed the performance of its option-selling strategy, noting that it received 770,351,229 yen in premium income during the quarter, which is equivalent to 50.26 BTC. Metaplanet stated: A total of 696.00 BTC was added to the company’s holdings under this strategy during the quarter. The effective cost of acquiring bitcoin, when factoring in the premium income, was reduced to 13,479,404 yen per bitcoin—below the market price at the time these options were initiated. This approach allowed Metaplanet to optimize its capital deployment, obtaining more bitcoin for less capital than if it had executed direct spot market purchases. The firm also provided updated key performance indicators, which it uses to evaluate the success of its bitcoin accumulation efforts. Metaplanet stated: From July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024, the company’s BTC Yield was 41.7%. From October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, the company’s BTC Yield was 309.8%. Quarter to Date, from January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025, the company achieved a BTC Yield of 95.6%. The BTC Yield reflects the change in bitcoin per fully diluted share, and is used by Metaplanet to assess shareholder value creation through its bitcoin strategy. In addition, the company has continued to raise capital via stock acquisition rights and bond issuances to fund these purchases. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Following the surprise collapse of Olaf Scholz’s coalition, Friedrich Merz has taken charge as Germany’s new Chancellor. But his first major appointment has left the entire nation in disbelief: Markus Braun, the disgraced former Wirecard CEO, has been chosen as the new Minister of Finance. The decision, announced in an early-morning press conference, sparked an immediate media frenzy. Braun, currently serving a prison sentence for his role in the Wirecard fraud scandal , is set to take office next week. “Germany needs financial expertise,” Merz stated, “and who knows more about financial creativity than Markus Braun?” Markus Braun was the mastermind behind Wirecard’s meteoric rise and catastrophic collapse, which resulted in a €1.9 billion hole in company accounts. Critics argue that appointing him as finance minister is like hiring a fox to guard the henhouse. However, Merz defended his choice: “Mistakes were made, sure, but Markus has the kind of outside-the-box thinking we need in German finance.” Reports suggest Braun will work remotely from prison, managing Germany’s budget via a high-security laptop provided by the government. His first task? A complete restructuring of Germany’s tax system —though insiders joke he may start by “accidentally misplacing” a few billion euros. Germans took to social media to express a mix of outrage, confusion, and dark humor. The hashtag #Braunomics is already trending, with users joking about “the best money laundering techniques for 2025.” Meanwhile, Wirecard’s former investors are thrilled, seeing this as a sign that Braun could finally “pay them back.” Some even speculate that his appointment might be a secret plan to recover the missing billions. The European Central Bank, however, issued a formal warning: “Germany’s financial stability should not be treated as an experimental playground.” If you’ve read this far and believed even a part of this story—congratulations, you’ve been April Fooled! 🎉 While Friedrich Merz might have some bold ideas for Germany’s economy, appointing a convicted fraudster as finance minister is definitely not one of them (at least, we hope not!). April 1st is a time for wild and ridiculous headlines, and we couldn’t resist joining in. But this is also a reminder: always double-check your sources before believing breaking news—especially in politics and finance! Now that you’re in on the joke, share this with your friends and see if they fall for it too! 😆

Nansen Research has highlighted the macroeconomic factors and cues this week that the firm says could confirm the probability of a crypto bottom between April and June. Nansen principal researcher Aurelie Barthere shared the outlook on April 1, 2025, noting that this week will see notable data releases and policy announcements. The macroeconomic factors that investors across the markets will focus on this week include the Federal Reserve policy, tariffs and U.S. growth via signals such as manufacturing and jobs data. According to Nansen, this “Liberation Week” is set to see key data disclosures and potential political announcements, which when combined with prevailing market sentiment, could provide an indicator to the price trajectory of Bitcoin ( BTC ) and crypto. Barthere has a similar forecast for other financial assets, with equities having suffered in recent weeks. Tariff jtters also continue to dictate crypto and risk assets movement. Recent 25% auto tariffs announcement, as do potential reciprocal tariffs, is a key concern. However, Nansen researchers say flexibility that sees “constructive negotiations” and concessions from the world’s largest economies, including the Eurozone, Japan and China, will be positive. The same applies to a balancing act from the Fed, with chair Jerome Powell set to speak on Friday. According to Nansen, clarity on the odds of three rate cuts for the year is expected across the market. On what investors might want to get from Powell’s speech, Nansen said: “We would like to hear Fed Chair Powell reiterate his FOMC’s press conference rather dovish stance, e.g. concerns over growth will be prioritized and the Fed will be comfortable with cutting rates even with core inflation close to 3% YoY.” In terms of employment data out on Friday, Nansen says non-farm payroll numbers for March between economist consensus at 139k and the six-month average of 191k and an unemployment rate of 4.3% will be good news for investors. This is key as growth concerns amid the recent 11% drop for the S&P 500 weigh down on investors. Technical indicators for BTC are also not encouraging, with price failing to break above the 200-day moving average. Altcoins are also in sell-off mode, with most posting dead crosses to suggest a fragile market sentiment that will fancy any “good news”. Overall, Nansen sees a positive outlook this week as one that will confirm the analytics platform’s 70% probability that crypto will track a bottom between April and June.
