Research shows that mining costs are a defining feature of PoW tokens, involving significant investment in hardware and electricity. When market prices approach miners' breakeven points, miners tend to hold onto their coins in anticipation of future appreciation. This behavior reduces circulating supply, shifts the supply-demand balance, and may contribute to price increases. Regulatory clarity is also critical to the investment appeal of PoW tokens. Both BTC and LTC are classified as commodities by the U.S. SEC rather than securities, which simplifies the ETF approval process. In January 2024, the approval of the BTC spot ETF triggered significant institutional inflows. LTC is currently undergoing the ETF application process. While DOGE and KAS have not yet received formal classification, their PoW nature may position them for similar treatment. Together, these factors enhance market liquidity and attract more institutional investors.

VIPBitget VIP Weekly Research InsightsThe RWA (Real-World Assets) sector has been gaining significant traction in the crypto space, as it tokenizes traditional assets like real estate and bonds to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi. This process unlocks trillions of dollars in potential value, while enabling broader access to high-value investments through asset fractionalization, increased liquidity, and lower entry barriers. RWA also diversifies and stabilizes DeFi collateral options, addressing the sector's over-reliance on crypto-native assets and paving the way for large-scale adoption. With regulatory frameworks becoming clearer worldwide, the compliance advantages of RWAs are increasingly evident—drawing in institutional capital. What sets RWA projects apart is their connection to real-world income streams like rent and interest payments, offering more sustainable returns than purely speculative assets. These cash-flow-generating features appeal to investors seeking steady returns. As such, RWA is seen as a crucial step in the evolution of blockchain technology from concept to practicality. Its development potential and practical use cases make it an important sector in the crypto industry today.

- 02:01Analysis: If Citigroup's Prediction Comes True, BTC Could Rise to $285,000 by 2030Jinse reports that Citibank's latest report predicts that the total supply of stablecoins will grow to $1.6 trillion by 2030 in the baseline scenario, and reach $3.7 trillion in an optimistic scenario. The analysis suggests that if Citigroup's predictions come true, and the regulatory momentum under Trump policies continues, Bitcoin is expected to enter a price discovery phase. Based on the historical ratio of stablecoin growth to BTC price appreciation—a 6.7-fold increase in stablecoins could translate into 3 to 5 times growth for Bitcoin. Bitcoin's price could reach $285,000 by 2030, with the more optimistic cap approaching $475,000 per coin. Even under conservative assumptions (i.e., only 25% of stablecoin growth shifts to Bitcoin), Bitcoin could still grow 200% to 250% from current levels, with a predicted price rise to between $190,000 and $237,500 by 2030.
