PANews reported on October 31st that, according to The Block, Standard Chartered Bank predicts the market capitalization of Real-World Asset Tokenization (RWA), excluding stablecoins, will expand from approximately $35 billion to $2 trillion by 2028, an increase of about 5600%. Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated that stablecoins lay the foundation for the large-scale on-chaining of other assets, with the "vast majority" of such activity taking place on Ethereum, which has been operating for over 10 years without mainnet outages. Kendrick estimates that by 2028, tokenized money market funds and listed stocks will account for the largest share, with money market funds accounting for $750 billion driven by corporate use of stablecoins, and listed stocks accounting for $750 billion once US regulations become clearer. Kendrick believes that lending, especially RWA, is key to DeFi's disruption of traditional finance, and DeFi has begun a growth cycle. The US Genius Act accelerated the adoption of stablecoins, and the Digital Asset Markets Clarification Act is expected to further legalize asset tokenization. Even without this act, regulatory agencies may have clear rules by acting in accordance with the law; however, the lack of clarity in US regulations remains a risk.PANews reported on October 31st that, according to The Block, Standard Chartered Bank predicts the market capitalization of Real-World Asset Tokenization (RWA), excluding stablecoins, will expand from approximately $35 billion to $2 trillion by 2028, an increase of about 5600%.

Zcash Privacy coin Zcash (ZEC) has made impressive gains, with its market capitalization up more than 10% over the last week. Zcash’s price is up over 76% over the last seven days to $632.

Source: CoinMarketCap The price increase follows significant upgrades made by the network’s developer, the Electric Coin Company. At the beginning of the month, the company introduced cross-chain swaps and private payments by integrating with the transaction layer Near Intents. The integration resulted in a spike in Zcash volume on Near Intents and an expansion of the “shielded pool” — i.e., the collection of encrypted addresses where ZEC is stored. Bornstein told Cointelegraph on Chain Reaction that “there’s just a powerful narrative, and I think people are just waking up to what Zcash can really accomplish.” Related: Why Zcash and privacy tokens are back in the conversation Monero Monero (XMR), which until recently was the largest privacy coin on the market, saw a near 10% price gain over the past week.
