Recent market news has been quite hot. Reports indicate that after stablecoins proved their feasibility, banks and large asset management firms plan to move all assets like government bonds, real estate, and private equity on-chain by 2026, enabling 24/7 trading and real yields. What is driving this shift? Regulatory frameworks have clearly relaxed. A CEO of a major exchange recently clarified some rumors, and the Democratic Party has also begun seriously pushing forward with crypto market legislation. These developments have boosted market expectations—industry insiders predict that the tokenized asset market could grow from 400 billion to 10 trillion USD, turning the RWA (Real World Assets) track from pilot projects into standard practice.

Giant firms like BlackRock have already started to deploy, indicating that institutional money is indeed flowing into this space. For retail investors, opportunities might still be in early-stage protocols and liquidity mining. Honestly, there are many projects in this sector, such as ONDO and PLUME, but who can truly differentiate themselves will depend on their actual implementation in the coming months. What do you think about this wave of opportunities? Which projects do you find more reliable?

ONDO-5,27%

PLUME-2,17%

Institutional entry is a good thing, but the real key point is who can achieve large-scale implementation first. Hmm... another wave of "certainty expectations." Can this time avoid being just hype? ONDO looks a bit more mature, but PLUME also has considerable potential. Others are all in on ONDO, but I'm waiting for more projects to emerge before making a decision. Sounds good, but 2026 is still a long way off. The risk of entering now is quite high. Wait until BlackRock actually goes live on the chain before jumping in. Right now, it's all just stories.

BlackRock's entry is quite aggressive, but can retail investors really get a piece of the pie? That's the real question. Institutional money is too abundant, and in the end, it just drives up the entry price. ONDO has already experienced a round of hype; is it too late to get in now? Where is the promised differentiation? It feels like the same old story with a different coat of paint. $10 trillion sounds great, but is 2026 really the target? Liquidity mining still has some opportunities, but the risks are also significant. Entering now feels like it could easily turn you into a bag holder. Banking on blockchain is indeed a major trend, but how long will it really take to materialize? Regulatory relaxation is happening, but don't be too optimistic. Can anyone tell me what specific advantages PLUME has? It seems to be low-profile. Early-stage projects are risky, but the returns are indeed tempting. This round of hype has quite a bit of speculation; we need to wait and see real money on the table.

The signals for institutional entry are becoming more and more obvious, but I still think many projects are just storytelling at this stage. The truly practical ones will have to wait until next year to see the results. --- RWA is indeed a fire, don't be fooled by the prediction of 2026. Historically, many such predictions have been proven wrong. --- BlackRock's involvement is definitely a turning point, but retail investors should be careful not to chase highs. In early protocols, about 90% of projects ended up zeroing out. --- I looked into ONDO and PLUME, honestly, both are still in the testing phase. It's hard to say which one is more reliable. These projects are essentially betting on whether the team can survive until the next cycle. --- Liquidity mining looks attractive in terms of returns, but the risks are deeply hidden. I currently play with small amounts, adopting a trial-and-error approach. --- Is regulation really loosening? I still have some doubts. It feels like just a temporary window, and there will still be uncertainties ahead. --- Instead of guessing which project is reliable, it's better to ask yourself whether you can withstand the volatility of this sector. That’s the key.

Stop speculating. BlackRock's entry indicates it's time to invest. As retail investors, let's just watch.

BlackRock's entry is indeed quite aggressive, but I still stick to my point—when big institutions come in, retail investors should exit. Wait, can real estate really be tokenized onto the chain by 2026? I feel like this story is a bit too far-fetched. ONDO has played around with it, but now there are many projects in this sector, and it's still uncertain who will survive. Basically, it's a gamble on whose infrastructure won't collapse in the end. How long can this upward momentum last? I bet regulatory changes will force adjustments again. Liquidity mining with such low interest rates is just for show.

Sounds good, but I’m still a bit skeptical. It feels like another round of hype. --- 2026? That’s too far ahead. I’m more concerned right now about which projects won’t rug pull. --- BlackRock’s entry is real, but retail investors still need to be cautious. Who knows the risks and leverage involved in these kinds of things? --- ONDO seems to be the hottest right now, but there are indeed many projects in the same track. It’s hard to say who to choose. --- It’s another story of regulatory relaxation. I’ve heard it too many times. We still need to see actual progress. --- Institutional money comes in fast and leaves just as quickly. We need to buy the dip to make money. --- Honestly, I still trust liquidity mining. It’s much more reliable than directly HODLing project tokens. --- That 10 trillion number feels a bit inflated, but the growth potential is indeed large. --- Moving government bonds on-chain? Sounds ridiculous, but if it really happens, it would be a major event. --- I haven’t researched PLUME. Has anyone participated? Please give some feedback.
