ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, RAAC founder Kevin Rusher analyzed that although gold has long been considered a safe-haven asset, its traditional investment methods lack profitability. Through DeFi protocols, real-world assets (RWA) like gold can be tokenized and participate in yield strategies such as lending and staking to enhance their capital efficiency. For example, gold mining companies can issue tokens linked to their reserves, which can be converted into stablecoins and participate in yield activities within the DeFi ecosystem.Kevin Rusher believes that blockchain technology also provides gold investors with the ability to trade around the clock, discover prices in real-time, and settle quickly, enhancing the liquidity and flexibility of the asset. DeFi is expected to combine the stability of gold with the profitability of digital finance, bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets.

ChainCatcher news, according to CryptoQuant analysts, Bitcoin's realized capitalization has reached $882.228 billion, setting a new all-time high. This on-chain metric evaluates the actual investment value by calculating the price at which each Bitcoin unit was last transferred on-chain, providing a more accurate measure of market sentiment than traditional market capitalization.Analyst Carmelo Alemán pointed out that historical data shows large accumulations of realized capitalization often precede significant price increases for Bitcoin. Although the price has increased since April 9, there has yet to be a typical short-term explosive surge in Bitcoin.
