Why the Ethereum Foundation is suddenly marketing hard to banks and asset managers

How rival chains like Solana and BNB are challenging its institutional story

Real‑world assets (RWAs) are one of the biggest narratives building into 2026, as more traditional assets like gold, stocks, bonds, and real estate are being brought on‑chain. Tokenized gold alone has seen volumes reportedly outpace many ETFs, and infrastructure providers such as Chainlink are working on data feeds that can tap into the massive U.S. equity market, while stablecoins like USDT continue to play a role in volatile economies.

On the DeFi side, platforms like Oceanpoint.fi from Blocksquare are examples of how real estate tokenization is being tested, using crypto rails to enable fractional exposure to property and plug bricks‑and‑mortar assets into DeFi‑style liquidity. These are illustrations of how RWAs might bridge crypto and tradfi, not endorsements, and 2026 is shaping up as a key proving ground for whether these models can scale beyond experiments.

Bitcoin just failed a major “digital gold” test.

When Trump’s new tariff threats on key European allies hit the tape, gold and silver sprinted to fresh all‑time highs, while Bitcoin was sold hard below 93k in minutes as traders rushed to de‑risk and clear leverage. Instead of acting like an instant safe haven, BTC behaved like a high‑beta liquidity asset – sold first, explained later – even though on‑chain metrics still sit near fair value and longer‑term projections remain bullish.

“Metals Are Rallying, Bitcoin Is Lagging – Why That’s Been Bullish Since 2019”

Gold and copper are ripping higher while Bitcoin chops sideways – and that gap might be the tell. Since 2019, this exact metals‑up / Bitcoin‑lagging pattern has shown up before every major crypto breakout, as markets quietly price in easier liquidity long before central banks officially pivot.
​

Right now, gold is reacting to falling real yields and weaker rewards for sitting in cash, while copper is signalling expectations for looser credit and better growth – classic early signs that financial conditions are starting to ease beneath the headlines. Bitcoin has historically moved later in that sequence, but when it does, the catch‑up tends to be sharp because a smaller, more reflexive market responds to the same liquidity wave with more force.

Your age, tech confidence + real time available.
​
Clear goals + realistic time horizons.
​
Long‑term holds, short‑term ideas + passive income.
​
Smart tax / trust / company / super structure.
​
A “dead man switch” so loved ones can actually access your crypto.

The crypto story for 2026 isn’t just about price — it’s about credibility.

Bitcoin is now trading on more than Fed rate expectations. As the clash between President Trump and Jerome Powell escalates, markets are starting to question whether US monetary policy is still truly independent. That’s when assets like Bitcoin and gold shift from “risk trades” to potential credibility hedges.

My latest news letter breaks down:

Why the Trump–Powell showdown matters for the Fed’s independence.

The two channels driving BTC: liquidity vs. credibility.

How spot Bitcoin ETFs can amplify both selloffs and breakouts.

What this regime shift could mean for Bitcoin’s next big move.

If you want this explained in plain English—and how it might fit into your long‑term plan—you can book a free 15‑minute chat at orangebrickroad.com.au and walk through it together.

New 3‑part LinkedIn newsletter series, “The Evolution of Crypto,”

The crypto story is bigger than price charts.

Over the next few days, a new 3‑part LinkedIn newsletter series, “The Evolution of Crypto,” will walk through how we got here, what changed, and where this might be going – all in plain English.

Here’s what’s coming:

Part 1 – From Cypherpunks to Bitcoin
How privacy‑focused builders and the 2008 crisis set the stage for Bitcoin and decentralised money.

Part 2 – From Bitcoin to DeFi and Real‑World Assets
How smart contracts, DeFi and tokenisation turned crypto from “just a coin” into a full financial stack that now touches real estate and other RWAs.

Part 3 – The Future of Crypto and Your Strategy
Regulation, institutional adoption, the invisible “plumbing‑layer” use cases – and how to design a calm, long‑term plan instead of chasing every new narrative.

If you’re an Aussie investor, property owner, or just crypto‑curious and want this journey in simple language, hit Subscribe on the newsletter so you get each part as it drops.

Major assets consolidating after a volatile start to 2026

The crypto market is kicking off the week in a holding pattern, with major assets consolidating after a volatile start to 2026 while traders watch macro data and regulatory headlines. Volatility is still elevated after early‑January liquidations, but the pullback remains milder than past cycles, and institutions are eyeing clearer rules as the gateway to the next adoption wave.

If you want to position ahead of what could become a more regulated, institution‑driven phase for crypto in 2026, now is the time to get a plan in place.

The crypto market is flashing early signs of a Q1 comeback

The crypto market is flashing early signs of a Q1 comeback, with December’s sell‑off now looking more like a reset than a true bear market. With tactical ETF inflows, a major leverage wash‑out, deeper liquidity, and a more bullish options setup, the structure looks less fragile and more open to upside surprise.
​

Order books are thicker, stablecoin supply is ticking higher, and leverage has been cut back, reducing the risk of cascading liquidations if volatility returns. Analysts still see bullish, base, and bearish paths on the table, but the balance of metrics is quietly shifting in the bulls’ favor.
​
