The RWA market continues to show steady growth, with a total on-chain market capitalization reaching $35.83 billion and the number of holders surpassing 530,000, indicating a continuously expanding user base.

According to Ledger Insights, Bank Negara Malaysia has launched a three-year exploration program for RWA tokenization and established a digital asset innovation center and industry working group to solicit feedback on potential application cases ranging from supply chain finance to Islamic financial products.

The central bank's latest report outlines a phased implementation plan: a concept validation and pilot will take place in 2026, followed by an expansion of the trial scope in 2027. The bank invites industry participants to submit application case opinions by March 1, 2026, while also clearly defining which cases meet the experimental criteria.

Bank Indonesia Plans to Launch Digital Rupiah Based on Distributed Ledger Technology

According to Techinasia, Bank Indonesia will launch a digital version of the Indonesian Rupiah (Rupiah Digital), which is a digital version of the Indonesian Rupiah Securities (Sekuritas Rupiah Bank Indonesia, SRBI), and will be rolled out in phases before 2030.

Bank Indonesia plans to proceed gradually, first conducting trials for digital securities issuance, transfers, and withdrawals between 2025 and 2026. From 2027 to 2028, further tests will be conducted for currency operations and financial market transactions, followed by the introduction of advanced features such as programmability, composability, and tokenization between 2029 and 2030. According to Bank Indonesia's "2030 Payment System Blueprint," the digital Rupiah will be built on distributed ledger technology.

Following the U.S. "GENIUS Act," Canada Plans to Legislate Regulation of Fiat-Backed Stablecoins

The Canadian government announced plans to introduce stablecoin regulatory legislation in the 2025 federal budget, requiring fiat-backed stablecoin issuers to maintain sufficient reserves, establish redemption policies, and implement risk management measures, including mechanisms to protect personal and financial data. This plan follows the U.S. stablecoin regulatory law "GENIUS Act," which was passed in July.

The Bank of Canada will allocate a budget of CAD 10 million in the 2026-2027 fiscal year to ensure smooth implementation of the regulations, with an expected annual expenditure of CAD 5 million to be borne by stablecoin issuers regulated under the Retail Payment Activities Act.

Coinbase Canada CEO Lucas Matheson expressed optimism about the proposal, believing it will fundamentally change how Canadians use currency and the internet. Currently, the stablecoin market size is $309.1 billion, and it is expected to grow to $2 trillion by 2028.

Additionally, Canadian payment platform Tetra Digital has raised $10 million to create a digital version of the Canadian dollar, with investors including Shopify, Wealthsimple, and the National Bank of Canada. Notably, Canada abandoned its plan to issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in September 2024.

UK Plans to Introduce Stablecoin Regulation in Sync with the U.S.

According to Bloomberg, Bank of England Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden stated that UK stablecoin rules will be implemented "as quickly as those in the U.S.," denying that the UK is lagging in regulatory progress. She noted that due to the reliance on commercial bank lending for UK housing mortgages, the UK is in a different position than the U.S. regarding setting limits on stablecoin holdings. The regulatory framework is being advanced collaboratively by the Bank of England and regulatory bodies, aiming to strike a balance between payment and financial stability. Key areas of focus include issuer regulation, reserve asset security, and access to payment systems.

DeFi Autopsy Report: An In-Depth Look at How Stream xUSD Went from "Stablecoin" to an Off-Chain Ponzi Scheme

PANews Overview: The xUSD issued by Stream Finance claims to be a DeFi stablecoin using a "risk-neutral" strategy, but in reality, it is a non-transparent "tokenized hedge fund"; it invested a large amount of user funds into opaque off-chain high-risk trades (such as shorting volatility), suffering a loss of about $100 million during market black swan events like "Red Friday," leading to insolvency. At the same time, it engaged in complex recursive lending with leverage and signed off-chain agreements that granted certain privileged investors (like Elixir) priority repayment rights in bankruptcy, ultimately causing its stablecoin price to severely depeg and plummet, exposing serious flaws in transparency, risk management, and leverage control, ringing alarm bells for the entire DeFi industry.

Interpretation of "RWA First Stock" Figure's Issuance of YLDS: How Do Yield-Generating Tokens Break Through Compliance?

PANews Overview: In the context of tightening regulations, Figure has chosen a distinctive "proactive compliance" path for its yield-generating token YLDS—rather than attempting to evade regulation, it proactively acknowledges its "securities" nature to the U.S. SEC and, through clever legal structuring, clearly defines the token's returns as "debt interest" based on real U.S. Treasury bonds rather than "investment dividends." This successfully brings traditional financial yield assets onto the blockchain in token form within the regulatory framework, providing the entire industry with a replicable model for combining on-chain financial innovation with traditional securities regulations, moving from the gray area to transparency.
