Exaion, a subsidiary of French electric utility giant EDF Group, is now a validator of Etherlink, the Tezos-powered layer 2 blockchain. Exaion, which offers high-performance computing and cloud solutions for blockchains, has joined Etherlink, an Ethereum ( ETH ) Virtual Machine compatible L2 powered by Tezos ( XTZ ) smart rollups, as validator. The move follows a key milestone that saw Exaion join Tezos as a corporate baker in October 2020. As an EVM -compatible layer 2 platform, Etherlink enables non-custodial and seamless integration with Ethereum tools, leveraging Tezos’ rollup technology for scalability and accountability. Integration across the Ethereum ecosystem includes wallets and indexers. The layer 2 chain, which launched in late 2024, also connects to other EVM-compatible chains. “By joining Etherlink as a Smart Rollup node operator, we can play a role in maintaining network security while providing a high-quality digital service to anyone using the chain,” said Fatih Balyeli, chief executive officer and co-founder of Exaion. “We’re proud to continue supporting Tezos, an example of French technological ingenuity that aligns with our own mission.” Exaion’s move to become an Etherlink validator comes as the Tezos L2 blockchain solution gains traction just months after going live. Etherlink has attracted projects such as money market funds platform Spiko and Coinbase-backed real-world assets platform Midas. Other platforms are also testing various use cases on the L2, including tokenized assets and contract deployments. Exaion’s launch of validator operations for the network adds to overall stability and decentralization as growth continues. “Rollup security relies on the presence of at least one honest validator,” said Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos. “So the more reputable parties validating the Etherlink rollup, the more robust it is.”

The Pi Network, launched in February this year, set out on a strong rally after its native token, PI, attained an all-time high of $2.99 in less than a week. However, this rally was short-lived. Since then, the token has bled by over 80%, trading at $0.5801. This market price also represents a 19.6% drop in the last seven days, though it has seen a slight recovery of 5% in the past 24 hours. As evidenced by data from Coinmarketcap, this also accounts for a 39.42% decline in its trading volume, leaving the mark at $289.23 million. While the token is down, the broader crypto market is also in a state of devastation. Notably, Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped over 6% in the last 30 days, and Ethereum (ETH) has fallen by more than 27% in the same period. Amidst the panic, one John Lang, a Pi Network node runner, has stood firm on the token’s future prospects. Via a tweet on the X platform, the stout believer has reassured fellow Pioneers that the PiCoreTeam (PCT) is working behind the scenes, diligently building and refining the network. In his message, Lang emphasizes the complexity of the team’s task and the sheer amount of work still required to bring Pi Network to its full potential. He concluded that “Just trust the process, and whatever the market condition is, never sell your Pi cheap.” Lang’s remarks follow the backlash against PiDaoSwap’s grievances against the PiCoreTeam’s slow pace of Know Your Business (KYB) approval. Projects have to apply for a KYB and clear the PCT’s due diligence procedure to build on the Network. PiDaoSwap tweeted on X that its KYB application has been pending for more than 2 weeks without being approved. Describing the waiting period as “agonizing and excessively prolonged,” PiDaoSwap claims the delay has stalled its full-scale development on the Pi mainnet. In response, the project resolved to launch its non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) as a temporary measure to maintain momentum and keep the community engaged pending PCT approval. Besides the delays in KYB, the PCT is also under fire for the slow pace of listing Pi Coin on top exchanges. Binance has yet to include Pi in its “Vote to List” program, and Bybit also didn’t list Pi Network despite growing requests from the community. On the bright side, BTCC Exchange, one of the oldest crypto exchanges in the world since 2011, listed Pi Coin, which increased its credibility as the market looks forward to the potential listing by Upbit Exchange. In the meantime, Pi’s Network domain auction project keeps gaining momentum. As we pointed out in our last article , bidding for domains is open to Pioneers on the Mainnet alone. Already, the auction has recorded more than 200,000 bids by over 40,000 unique bidders for more than 95,000 domains.

In a fresh report released on April 7 titled “Approaching the Tokenization Tipping Point,” Ripple—alongside Boston Consulting Group (BCG)—outlined how real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is set to explode from $0.6 trillion in 2025 to $18.9 trillion by 2033. That’s a colossal shift marked by a 53% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), and it’s not just projections—it’s a clear roadmap for financial reinvention. Tokenization, in Ripple’s words, turns stagnant financial assets into programmable, always-on tools. What once required layers of middlemen, days of processing, and thick paperwork is now being replaced with smart contracts, instant settlements, and global accessibility. This transition is already proving its worth in use cases like real estate, treasury operations, and trade finance. Institutions aren’t sitting still either. JPMorgan’s Kinexys platform, which has already processed more than $1.5 trillion in tokenized transactions, now sees over $2 billion moving through it daily. Ripple wants to be right there in that volume race—backed by its XRP Ledger technology that’s built for speed, interoperability, and fractional ownership. The promise of lower costs is not wishful thinking—it’s showing up in the numbers. In collateral management alone, one global bank moving $100 billion daily in repo trades could pocket $150–300 million a year just by adopting real-time tokenization and eliminating deadweight idle collateral. Similarly, a $5 billion real estate fund could unlock up to $1 billion in capital and slash administrative expenses by $150 million across five years. For treasury departments, the benefits scale even faster. A firm handling $1 billion in unused cash and $10 billion in payments can save between $55 million and $140 million annually through tokenized markets and real-time cash movement—benefits Ripple directly facilitates via its XRP infrastructure. Trade finance, typically bloated with inefficiencies, is now ripe for transformation. A corporation processing $50 billion in international trade can chop $2–4 billion in costs each year by automating payments and invoice settlements. Adding tokenized receivables to the mix offers another $20–50 million in savings. Ripple believes that regulatory maturity will act as a catalyst. While the U.S. is slowly aligning itself, regions like Switzerland, the EU under MiCA, and Singapore have already laid out the legal groundwork. These jurisdictions are setting the tone for others to follow in making digital securities a norm. Tibor Merey, Managing Director and Partner at BCG, said: Tokenization is transforming financial assets into programmable, interoperable tools, recorded on shared digital ledgers. This enables 24/7 transactions, fractional ownership, and automated compliance, Banks are also warming up to Ripple’s three-phase adoption model. Phase one revolves around tokenizing familiar, low-risk assets like money market funds—a path BlackRock took last year with its tokenized USD fund. Phase two expands into private credit and real estate, while phase three will fully integrate tokenization into broader markets, including hedge funds and real estate-backed securities.
