Jack Tan, co-founder of WOO X, outlined key trends shaping the crypto market in a note to crypto.news. Tan discussed the booming expansion of real-world assets and recent sell-offs within the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem. Tan pointed to the accelerating adoption of RWAs , with projections estimating the sector could reach $16.1 trillion by 2030. “This showcases the long-term potential of asset tokenization,” Tan wrote in a note. “As the RWA sector matures, key projects such as ONDO, LINK, MKR, and PLUME—which focus on tokenization, liquidity, and decentralized finance infrastructure—are well-positioned to benefit from this growth.” Institutional interest is rising, exemplified by BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, which has grown from an initial $100 million USDC in March 2024 to over $1 billion, capturing 30% of the tokenized U.S. Treasuries market. Beyond Treasuries, RWAs are expanding into new financial products. Ondo Finance recently partnered with Mastercard to integrate its OUSG bond fund into Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network, enabling crypto payments to interact with traditional financial systems. Meanwhile, Coinbase is reportedly collaborating with Swiss tokenization firm Backed to launch tokenized stocks, such as “wbCOIN,” on its layer-2 network, Base , according to Tan. These developments reflect increasing institutional confidence in blockchain-based financial instruments. The BSC ecosystem has seen increased liquidity in projects like MUBARAK , PALU, ATM, and Broccoli. However, investor confidence was shaken after crypto influencer Wolfy_XBT was accused of triggering panic through aggressive sell-offs of BNB ( BNB ) Card-related tokens, Tan wrote. The event has fueled broader discussions about potential risks in tokenized ecosystems. As RWAs gain traction and crypto markets respond to macroeconomic shifts, Tan stressed that projects such as ONDO ( ONDO ), LINK ( LINK ), Maker ( MKR ), and PLUME are well-positioned to capitalize on the evolving landscape.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has confirmed the big news: the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is going to drop its appeal in the long-running lawsuit against the company. This legal battle kicked off back in December 2020, when the SEC accused Ripple of selling XRP as an unregistered security. Garlinghouse’s announcement on March 19 is a clear sign of victory in this multi-year fight, bringing it much closer to the finish line. The CEO made the statement right before the Digital Asset Summit in New York, emphasizing just how important this outcome is for both Ripple and the entire crypto market. The SEC initially filed its lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020, claiming that the company had conducted a massive $1.3 billion unregistered securities offering through the sale of XRP. For the past four years, Ripple has been vigorously fighting these charges, with Garlinghouse consistently arguing that XRP is not a security. Garlinghouse shared his excitement about the case seemingly wrapping up in a video posted on X, calling it “a resounding victory for Ripple and crypto.” He stressed that this resolution has been a long time coming and that the focus should now shift to growing the crypto industry in the United States. He even stated that it’s time for the U.S. to become the crypto capital of the world. Related: Settlement In Sight For Ripple vs. SEC Case, Though Final Terms Still Under Negotiation With the SEC’s appeal off the table, it looks like Ripple’s legal headaches might finally be over. This could create some exciting new opportunities for the company to expand its network of banking partnerships. Ripple already has over 300 banking partners, and winning this lawsuit could encourage even more big financial institutions to join RippleNet. Experts have even suggested that major players like Bank of America, American Express, or Santander could become partners down the line. Beyond partnerships, there’s also the possibility of Ripple going public with an IPO. The company’s recent moves to buy back shares have put its valuation at a hefty $11.3 billion, leading to speculation about what its next big move will be. The market for XRP has definitely perked up in response to this positive legal development. As of Wednesday evening (March 19, 2025), the price of XRP has now reached $2.50. It’s important to consider the broader context since this news is the latest, and the market is likely still processing the implications; which means XRP rally is still on the cards.

Sergey has 8 years of experience developing financial brokerage services and trading solutions, leading up to the successful launch and updates of B2COPY. B2BROKER has been a key innovator in financial technology. What inspired the development of B2COPY, and how does it address current gaps in the copy trading market? B2COPY, like most of our other products, is inspired by market demand and listening to our clients. More traders entered the financial market space after the digitalisation of platforms and the low entry barriers. However, many of those are beginners who lack financial and market knowledge, and, as a result, many lost their capital and were ready to quit. To tackle this challenge and retain traders, brokers require advanced solutions that make the trading process much easier and more efficient by copying tested and proven strategies of successful investors. Nevertheless, B2COPY takes it a step further by making it compatible with popular trading platforms, such as cTrader and MetaTrader, allowing traders to access their accounts and enjoy their trading features without a major shift in interface. B2COPY also offers PAMM (Percentage Allocation Money Management) and MAM (Multi-Account Manager) accounts, as well as a highly customisable platform and flexible fee systems. With B2COPY now fully integrated with cTrader, what are the key benefits this brings to brokers and traders compared to other copy trading solutions? cTrader is a growing trading platform that is grabbing the brokers’ and traders’ eyes due to its intuitive interfaces, easy-to-use software, and rapid processing capabilities. By integrating cTrader into B2COPY, traders can enjoy flexible copying mechanisms, where they can choose the master account based on different parameters, close copied positions, and detach their positions from the master’s. Traders can also change the allocation method of their chosen copied portfolio, which can be done proportionally by equity, balance, or fixed lots. Additionally, pausing and reverse-copying are critical features that make copy trading seamless. On the other hand, brokers receive a highly customisable infrastructure where they can integrate additional features and develop their custom applications. Brokers can also adjust the cTrader UI design to suit their brand and create the most personalised trading experience. B2COPY is the first solution to introduce PAMM to cTrader. How does this feature enhance investment opportunities for professional money managers and investors? PAMM – Percentage Allocation Money Management is a popular way to join funds with other investors and entrust a professional manager to grow the amount. It is a rising trend in copy trading, and this integration enables cTrader brokers to attract top-notch investors and reactivate dormant trading accounts by offering lucrative opportunities in high-earning pools. Brokers can create investment funds and offer their clients over 1,000 PAMM master accounts, which are highly flexible and have different risk management tools, trade signals, and market access. Scalability and performance are major concerns for brokers. B2COPY can process over 1,500 deals per second and support thousands of investors per master account. How does B2BROKER ensure such high efficiency and reliability? We utilise a highly advanced tech stack that powers our trading software and execution models, including Kubernetes, which facilitates quick B2COPY platform setups and scalability. Other technologies include Docker, ArgoCD, AWS, Cloudflare, and Terraform, supporting the open-source environment, cloud infrastructure, and security protocols. We also have a network of dedicated data centres around the world to respond to high-volume trading orders at optimal execution rates. Customisation seems to be a major focus in the latest version of B2COPY, with flexible fee structures, marketing tools, and trader profile enhancements. How do these features help brokers and master traders grow their business? Brokerage firms have different needs, objectives, and messages. As such, providing customisation options allows them to redesign interfaces, fine-tune trading conditions, and offer features and services that resonate with their business model. Ultimately, it allows them to differentiate their trading features, stand out from the competition, and offer personalised services to gain and retain investors. The flexible pricing scheme enables copy-trading brokers and master accounts to adjust performance fees, volume fees, IB program joining fees, subscription fees, and other management fees. Cross-server and multi-platform copy trading are currently in development for B2COPY. How will these innovations shape the future of investment platforms, and what can brokers expect from B2BROKER in the coming months? The anticipated cross-server and multi-platform copy trading are game-changing technologies in the trading industry. This functionality will enable the seamless replication of copied trades across different servers and trading platforms, such as cTrader and MetaTrader. This means traders can manage their accounts on different platforms and copy strategies from various master accounts for broader market access and better diversification. For brokers, this translates into higher client acquisition and retention rates. Brokers will be more equipped to attract professional investors and institutional clients, offering them flexible, interconnected trading environments. With B2COPY offering an all-in-one solution for copy trading, PAMM, and MAM, what would be your key message to brokers looking to enhance their investment services? And how can they get started with B2COPY today? Flexibility, scalability, and customizability are the ways to attract traders and ensure business longevity as a distinguished brand.

Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT slammed pseudo decentralized protocols for profiting from North Korea-backed exploits. The crypto industry’s handling of hacks and shady activity is coming under fire, with blockchain sleuth ZachXBT calling out several pseudo- decentralized protocols for profiting from North Korea -linked exploits while avoiding responsibility. In a Telegram post on Tuesday, March 18, the crypto investigator called the nearly $1.5 billion Bybit hack “eye opening,” warning that the industry’s security problems might not improve without government regulations that could “hurt our entire industry.” Per ZachXBT, several “decentralized” protocols have generated nearly all of their monthly volume and fees from transactions linked to North Korea. Despite this, the investigator notes, they “refuse to take any accountability.” ZachXBT’s comments seem to point to mixing service eXch and multi-currency protocol THORChain, among others, which profited after North Korean bad actors funneled stolen Bybit funds through them in an attempt to launder. As crypto.news reported earlier, less than two weeks after the heist, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou stated that more than $200 million of the $1.46 billion stolen from the exchange had become untraceable, partly due to mixing services refusing to halt North Korean hackers. ZachXBT also pointed to centralized exchanges, stating that some take “multiple hours” to respond to illicit funds moving through their platforms, even though laundering “only takes minutes.” It’s unclear which exchanges the investigator was referring to. Criticizing existing security measures, he argued that know your transaction systems are “completely flawed and easily evadable,” while know your customer rules mostly serve as a “honeypot for regular users” due to frequent breaches and insider leaks. In late February, North Korean hackers targeted Bybit, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, stealing around $1.46 billion worth of crypto in a highly sophisticated heist. The attack was reportedly carried out by compromising the computer of an employee at Safe, Bybit’s technology provider.
