According to CoinDesk, digital asset investment firm RockawayX announced an investment of $150 million to launch the Catapult program, aimed at bringing more private credit and other yield-generating real-world assets on-chain, betting that lending linked to the real economy will become one of the largest markets in the crypto space.The investment firm, which manages approximately $2 billion, stated that Catapult will provide venture capital, product structuring, liquidity, market making, and distribution support for tokenized credit products. RockawayX currently operates early-stage venture funds, market-neutral funds providing liquidity to DeFi protocols, and a vault business deploying about $300 million, and acquired the crypto hedge fund Relayer in August.According to RWA.xyz data, the scale of tokenized real-world assets such as bonds, stocks, and funds has rapidly grown to approximately $38 billion, but more than half of this is tokenized money market funds. RockawayX expects this market to reach $10 trillion to $20 trillion by 2030, a target higher than the $5.5 trillion benchmark forecast provided by Citigroup analysts. Catapult will focus on areas such as trade and supply chain finance, asset-backed securities, CLOs, and real estate-related credit.RockawayX CEO Viktor Fischer stated that following transactions, yields will become the largest application scenario on-chain, requiring new yield sources of over 12% that are uncorrelated with the crypto market. He pointed out that the appeal of bringing low-liquidity assets on-chain lies in the fact that even if the underlying investments have long redemption periods, market makers can create exit channels.

Chairman of Bitmine, Tom Lee, recently stated in an interview with the "Milk Road Show" that asset tokenization and AI intelligent finance will become the core narratives of the cryptocurrency market in the next five years. Ethereum is expected to become the underlying settlement layer of the global financial system, and currently, ETH is still severely undervalued relative to BTC.Tom Lee believes that in the remaining time of 2026, ETH may be driven by four major catalysts: the U.S. "Clarity Act" is expected to pass in September, the return of off-exchange short sellers and hesitant funds, the reallocation of crypto assets by Asian funds, and global institutional fund managers chasing top-performing crypto assets under quarterly performance pressure. He predicts that the ETH/BTC exchange rate is likely to return to the historical high of 0.08. Even if it conservatively recovers to 0.04, if BTC reaches $150,000, the corresponding price for ETH will also reach $6,000. Tom Lee also emphasized that Bitcoin still has long-term upward potential, but the larger narrative for the cryptocurrency industry in the next five years will be the "super cycle of comprehensive asset tokenization" and "AI intelligent finance."

Renowned trader Killa posted that Bitcoin has rebounded from its lows, and waiting for the "perfect bottom" may cause investors to completely miss the subsequent rise. He stated that rather than staying in cash waiting for a price that may never come, he prefers to establish exposure early and accept potential pullbacks that may occur in the process.Killa indicated that the Bitcoin cycle is changing, with multiple indicators supporting this judgment, and the traditional four-year cycle may ultimately change. Therefore, he is willing to continue buying at different price levels such as $70,000, $65,000, $60,000, or $55,000, rather than fixating on a single bottom target.From a longer-term perspective, Bitcoin's price will rise above $150,000. He expressed that he prefers to hold a position first and then adjust based on market changes, rather than missing the entire upward process by insisting on waiting for a target price.
