first_img Founder of Theory Ventures: The RWA market's growth rate surpasses AI, becoming the fastest-growing market in the world

The founder of the venture capital firm Theory Ventures, Tomasz Tunguz, stated that the fastest-growing market globally is not AI, but the crypto market formed by real-world assets (RWA) on the blockchain. He noted that RWA enables stocks and commodities like oil and copper to be traded on-chain, taking on almost all public price discovery during commodity exchange closures.Tunguz mentioned that RWA, through perpetual contracts for stocks, provides pre-IPO pricing for Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX, and Cerebras, and brings international access channels. He cited data indicating that the perpetual price of Cerebras before its IPO differed from the Nasdaq opening price by less than 1.3%, with SpaceX having a perpetual open interest of approximately $215 million and a cumulative trading volume of about $2.2 billion before its IPO. A report from Pantera Capital in September 2026 showed that the trading volume of perpetual contracts for stocks on Hyperliquid and Lighter reached $67.8 billion in June, which is 16 times that of tokenized stock spot trading.He also stated that stablecoins have become one of the top ten buyers of U.S. Treasury bonds, surpassing China, Norway, and Switzerland, and are used to settle transactions of the aforementioned tokenized assets. Institutions such as JPMorgan, HSBC, BlackRock, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Franklin Templeton, Robinhood, and Stripe are advancing RWA.

Michael Saylor seeks to restart the Strategy financing engine: the proposal for daily dividends on preferred shares may pass

According to Bloomberg, Strategy's Executive Chairman Michael Saylor is seeking to adjust the dividend mechanism for the company's preferred shares, proposing to change the dividend payment from bi-monthly or quarterly to daily for billions of dollars in preferred stock. The annualized yield on the related securities can reach up to 12%, and Saylor stated that this move would help improve liquidity and market efficiency.Previously, Strategy primarily raised funds by selling common stock to purchase Bitcoin, but as the premium of common stock relative to its Bitcoin assets disappeared, the company shifted to issuing perpetual preferred shares that do not dilute the equity of common stock shareholders. Such securities have no fixed repayment date and can provide a new source of financing for Strategy. The company currently has over $14 billion in preferred shares outstanding. Although the company has repurchased over $1 billion of floating-rate preferred shares STRC, it has still been unable to issue new STRC since May.Analysts pointed out that increasing the frequency of dividend payments mainly reduces dividend-related volatility, cannot eliminate credit and Bitcoin price risks, and may not necessarily enhance market liquidity. The shareholder vote on the proposal will conclude on October 28. Given that Saylor is the main shareholder of Strategy, the proposal is expected to pass.
