RWA worth 19 billion has been onboarded on-chain—Figure’s move is pulling the “safety net” of traditional yield and fitting it into DeFi. Nuva is worth keeping an eye on.

CryptoWorld News reports that Raoul Pal says AI and blockchain are reshaping the global economy faster than most people think. He believes that AI and blockchain are converging into a new foundational layer of the global economy. Pal frames the current moment as a historic acceleration point for technology adoption, and notes that institutional adoption does not weaken the original mission of cryptocurrencies. He believes that the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies is a feature, not a flaw. Regarding AI, Pal describes it as a productivity accelerator and a factor that disrupts society. He predicts that over the next decade, the crypto market and AI-driven systems will continue to merge. In addition, Nuva was launched this week, featuring nearly $19 billion in tokenized real assets from Figure Technologies, aiming to bring regulated U.S. income products into DeFi.
