BNY has announced the expansion of its digital assets platform with the launch of a new tool aimed at delivering both on- and off-chain accounting data to blockchain networks. Editor’s note: This article was updated to reflect that the company is referred to as “BNY,” not “BNY Mellon.” BNY, the world’s largest custodian, said in a press release that it was launching the Digital Asset Data Insights product, a data tool aimed at bringing security and efficiency to the offering and access to fund accounting data across blockchains. The new tool, which will see global asset manager BlackRock become the first client, will allow BNY to broadcast a fund’s net asset value on the Ethereum ( ETH ) network. Accordingly, the financial services giant’s new on-chain offering helps bolster its footprint in the blockchain technology space. Per the announcement, part of the focus is on the rapidly expanding tokenized assets market. Digital Asset Data Insights will enable BNY to leverage smart contracts to automate data delivery for investors in tokenized funds. “Accessing transparent data is critical to our clients’ success in today’s market,” said Caroline Butler, global head of digital assets at BNY. “Our platform’s support of Digital Asset Data Insights underscores our commitment to servicing the end-to-end asset lifecycle via distributed ledger technology, while maintaining data integrity from a trusted source.” The BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund will be the first to benefit from the new solution. BUIDL, which launched in 2024 and is a tokenized short-term U.S. Treasury fund, will have its data broadcast onchain by BNY. Commenting on the latest development, BlackRock’s head of digital assets Robert Mitchnick said: “BNY’s enablement of off-chain data insights to public blockchains is an unprecedented event and a significant milestone for the industry. By enhancing data transparency and accessibility for our investors, BNY has set a new standard for digital asset innovation.” New York City-headquartered BNY is the fund administrator and custodian of BUIDL’s assets. BNY, which oversees more than $52 trillion in assets under custody and administration as well as over $2 trillion in assets under management, eyes distributed ledger technology for transparency and accessibility. The custodian behemoth has invested in spot Bitcoin ( BTC ) exchange-traded funds and targeted crypto ETF custody amid regulatory review.

South Korean authorities detailed two fraudulent trading tactics used in the price manipulation of the Fusionist (ACE) token, which resulted in investor losses totaling 7.1 billion won ($4.85 million). Findings from a trial in Seoul specify how traders used artificial strategies to deceive the market. The first method involved artificially inflating trading volume. Manipulators strategically placed buy limit orders above the market price while simultaneously setting sell limit orders below it. This created a false impression of high demand, leading traders to believe the token was experiencing organic growth. Reports indicate smart contracts automatically executed these orders, maintaining constant activity and masking the lack of genuine market interest. The second method involved creating fake buy pressure via spoofing. Manipulators placed buy orders at five price levels above the last traded price, designed to mimic real investor demand, only to automatically cancel them within three seconds. Repeating this process continuously misled traders about sustained interest, artificially driving up the price. Related: Binance Unveils 40th Launchpool, Supporting Fusionist (ACE) Token On April 3, prosecutors reportedly exposed how defendants manipulated ACE token prices using “hit” orders (loss-making trades to inflate volume) and spoofing (repeatedly placing and canceling fake buy orders). These tactics caused a 15-fold surge in daily ACE volume on Bithumb, with “hit” orders accounting for nearly 89% of the activity. Prosecutors noted the defendants also placed legitimate sell orders to liquidate coins entrusted to them, though these were not part of the manipulation charges. Authorities believe these manipulative strategies significantly contributed to investor losses, highlighting concerns over unregulated trading practices. The ongoing trial in Seoul will determine the legal consequences for those involved.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes warned via X that proposed Trump tariff policies could disrupt the U.S. Treasury market by reducing dollar inflows from exports. Hayes argued that if foreign nations, particularly major exporters like China, earn fewer dollars through trade, their capacity to buy U.S. bonds will decline. This scenario would pressure the Federal Reserve and domestic banks to absorb Treasury demand, Hayes explained, increasing the need for monetary expansion. Related: How a Potential Fed Shift to QE Could Impact Your Crypto Portfolio (Analysis) He described this potential outcome as requiring the Fed to “Brrrr”—a reference to large-scale money printing—to maintain market stability. The backdrop is the U.S.’s persistent current account deficit (including trade, services, income, transfers), which reached $1.15 trillion by Q4 2024, continuing a multi-decade trend deepened since the 1980s. Hayes linked this trend to long-standing trade policies, global manufacturing shifts, and China’s rise as an export powerhouse following its 1994 yuan devaluation and 2001 WTO entry, which coincided with declining U.S. manufacturing. While the U.S. runs ongoing trade deficits, its financial account (measuring capital flows) showed a surplus, reaching $1.25 trillion in Q4 2024, reflecting foreign purchases of U.S. assets. Hayes noted exporters often use earned dollars to buy U.S. treasuries and equities rather than converting to home currencies, helping keep export prices competitive and funding U.S. markets. This system, where export dollars are recycled into U.S. assets despite trade gaps, supports U.S. financial markets and funds government borrowing.

However, Hayes warned that restricting trade flows via tariffs could cut off these vital inflows, increasing stress on the Treasury market. Hayes also observed that while Trump is vocal about trade restructuring, both major U.S. parties have pursued similar policies recently. Former President Biden extended limits on Chinese access to U.S. technology, and key Democratic figures have echoed tough trade stances. With the Treasury aiming to reduce the federal deficit significantly (e.g., from ~7% towards 3%) by 2028, sustained capital gains from strong financial markets are critical. Hayes cautioned that reducing foreign dollar inflows via tariffs could jeopardize that outcome, complicating fiscal planning amid rising debt rollovers.

Real World Assets (RWA) represent one of the most promising sectors in cryptocurrency, bridging traditional finance with decentralized ecosystems. While early projects delivered strong returns in 2024, the RWA market remains nascent, offering substantial long-term opportunities. Analysts, cited by Altcoin Buzz , project the sector could reach a $30 trillion valuation by 2030, driven by institutional adoption and regulatory advancements. Despite market fluctuations, RWAs continue gaining traction, positioning the sector as a critical investment theme. Clearpool operates the first decentralized credit marketplace for under-collateralized institutional lending, integrating TradFi credit markets onto blockchains to enhance liquidity. Its upcoming Poseidon Testnet and mainnet launch aim to further strengthen its ecosystem. Clearpool’s RWA Exchange-Traded Pool (Port) offers ETF-style exposure with DeFi flexibility. A regulatory license from Singapore’s MAS enables Clearpool to function as a compliant TradFi gateway. Partnerships with entities like BlackRock-backed Mountain USDM and Jane Street signal strong institutional backing.

Key innovations include DeepBook (a liquidity aggregator) and Walrus (a decentralized data storage solution). Its growing ecosystem, including memecoins, adds diversity. With robust DeFi applications and ongoing tech advancements, Sui presents exposure to infrastructure potentially supporting RWA growth. While many RWA projects use Ethereum, Plume developed its own Layer 1 blockchain focused on RWA scalability, compliance, and interoperability. With over 180 projects reportedly building on its network, Plume attracts institutional investment, backed by firms like Brevan Howard and Binance Labs. Initiatives like Plume Skylink facilitate cross-chain yield distribution across 18 networks (including Solana, Injective).

PayPal quietly added Solana (SOL) and Chainlink (LINK) to its supported cryptocurrencies for users in the United States and its territories. The update appeared on the company’s help center webpage and developer portal, though no official announcement regarding a rollout date has been made. This addition broadens PayPal’s crypto lineup, which already includes Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and its native stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD) Since launching crypto services for U.S. customers in 2020, PayPal has steadily expanded its digital asset operations. Initial services allowed users to buy, sell, and hold select cryptocurrencies. These extended to the UK in 2021, and PayPal introduced its PYUSD stablecoin in 2023, later launching it on the Solana blockchain. The inclusion of SOL (known for high transaction throughput) and LINK (a key decentralized oracle network) marks a notable expansion of PayPal’s supported assets. While U.S. users can now buy, sell, and hold Solana and Chainlink via PayPal, transferring these specific assets to external wallets is currently unavailable. PayPal only supports external wallet transfers for BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, and PYUSD to compatible wallets (e.g., Ethereum ERC-20, Solana SPL). Related: PayPal and Visa Fuel Crypto Adoption with New Offerings PayPal’s latest crypto additions follow other recent moves, like expanding crypto access for U.S. business accounts in late 2024, allowing merchants to hold and transact with digital assets. Instead of rallying on the PayPal news, Solana (SOL) recorded a price decline, trading near $115.82 (-7.95% 24h, -15.89% week).
