Solana accounts for 12% of onchain RWA market cap, But 32% of RWA spot volume. Allium Research worked with Solana to look beyond assets issued and ask a different question: how are RWAs being used onchain? The full report maps 37 issuers across fixed income, private funds, equities, commodities and active strategies – and looks at where issuance, ownership and trading are actually happening.

WHAT I’M WATCHING
Introducing: Stablecoins Around the World
Hello everyone! I finally did it, I finally started work on something I’ve been wanting to do for ages but kept putting off because the flood of events kept pushing it down the priority list. Well, it climbed its way back up, and today I can share the first episode in a new video/podcast series: Stablecoins Around the World.
In this limited series, I hope to cover most of the main stablecoin hot spots outside the US. My goal is to highlight that while the US may have the largest market and its currency may anchor the bulk of stablecoin supply, stablecoins are a global phenomenon and will potentially end up changing marketplaces everywhere.
To do that, I’ll be talking to experts about their impressions of the stablecoin regulation, institutional involvement, infrastructure and use cases in the regions they’re familiar with.
(If that’s you and you’d like to get involved, reach out, either commenting below and/or at noelle@cryptoismacro.com – I’m not looking for pitches on how important individual infrastructure projects are, I’m interested in overviews of local ecosystems and how they fit into the bigger market.)
For now, this is available only on Substack (I’ve also uploaded it as a separate video with open access), but I am working on broader podcast distribution.
The inaugural episode is on stablecoins in Japan, and I can think of no-one better positioned to talk about that than Emily Parker. To see why, have a listen!
And you can find out more about Emily here.
🏵 Below, I share some takeaways, and more detail on Japan’s regulation, issuers and the tokens themselves. 🏵
