The Washington crypto lobbying group is increasingly convinced that the Market Structure Bill may not pass next year.

According to industry data platform Token Terminal, the total market capitalization of tokenized stocks has surpassed $1.2 billion, reaching a record high, with particularly significant growth in September and December 2025. This rapid momentum has been compared by industry experts to "stablecoins in 2020" and the "boom of early DeFi," marking a shift where blockchain technology is moving beyond mere cryptocurrency trading toward a systematic reshaping of global core financial assets. This round of growth is driven by substantial entry from traditional financial giants like Nasdaq and BlackRock, as well as the regulatory clarity brought by the US GENIUS Act. Tokenized stocks are no longer a fringe concept; they are becoming the most representative frontier in the trend of bringing real-world assets onto the blockchain.

Tokenized stock market capitalization has soared to $1.2 billion, and Token Terminal compares it to the "stablecoin moment of 2020." This comparison is highly impactful: in 2020, stablecoin market cap was only a few hundred billion dollars, and now it has developed into a $3 trillion industry. If tokenized stocks replicate this growth trajectory, the future market potential will be beyond imagination. Nasdaq has submitted an application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to offer tokenized stocks on its platform.

The Supreme Court of South Korea ruled that an employee of a cryptocurrency exchange was sentenced to 4 years for selling military secrets to North Korea. North Korean hackers paid $487,000 in Bitcoin and demanded the recruitment of a Chinese Army captain to steal data from the Korea-U.S. shared intelligence system; the captain received $33,500 in Bitcoin. Military police intercepted watch cameras and USB hacking devices before the intrusion, and the captain was sentenced to 10 years.

According to the latest fund flow report released by CoinShares, digital asset investment products experienced a net outflow of $446 million last week, bringing the total net outflow since mid-October to $3.2 billion. However, the market is not entirely bleak; newly approved XRP and Solana exchange-traded funds demonstrated strong capital attraction, with $70.2 million and $7.5 million in inflows respectively, contrasting sharply with the continued redemptions of Bitcoin and Ethereum products. This significant divergence among assets reveals that institutional funds are strategically rotating during market adjustments, shifting from mature mainstream assets to alternative assets with event-driven potential. Although the overall capital inflow since the beginning of the year remains at $46.3 billion, the assets under management have only increased by 10%, indicating limited actual gains for retail investors after net flows are accounted for, and market sentiment remains fragile.

Renowned financial institution Cantor Fitzgerald pointed out in its latest year-end report that the cryptocurrency market may be entering the early stages of a new "crypto winter," which could echo Bitcoin's approximately four-year cycle. However, unlike previous adjustments, this cycle is expected to be less chaotic, more institution-led, and increasingly defined by decentralized finance, real-world asset tokenization, and clearer regulations. The report data shows that the total on-chain RWA value has surged to $18.5 billion this year and is expected to surpass $50 billion by 2026. Although Bitcoin prices may face pressure, the market infrastructure and participants are undergoing profound structural changes, laying the foundation for a more sustainable growth in the next cycle.
