Bybit: RWA tokenization will drive the development of India’s trillion-dollar fintech industry
Bybit’s Global Head of Public Policy, Mykolas Majauskas, recently attended the 2026 World Fintech Summit, where he discussed the trillion-dollar opportunities brought by RWA with Indian industry representatives, and how blockchain infrastructure can provide impetus for expanding investment opportunity channels.
Majauskas delivered a speech entitled “Vision 2030: Building India’s Trillion-Dollar Fintech Economy with Karnataka as a Pioneer.” He said that RWA tokenization makes financial products more inclusive by dividing ownership, which can help expand India’s retail investor base, while bridging the capital access gap and promoting a more inclusive financial ecosystem. He pointed out that tokenization can transform traditional illiquid assets such as real estate, infrastructure and private equity assets into digital, tradable financial instruments, releasing their liquidity potential. He stressed that India has strong potential to lead the next phase of the tokenized capital market, thanks to its digital public infrastructure, rising retail participation and rapid expansion of the digital economy.
Majauskas said that India is becoming one of the most dynamic fintech markets in the world. Tokenization has the potential to expand access to capital markets and create a more inclusive financial ecosystem. Meaningful collaboration between policymakers, industry stakeholders and technology leaders is critical to driving responsible innovation and creating long-term value for the broader economy.

Binance: Blockchain-based financial infrastructure is reshaping the global landscape of inclusive finance.
World Bank data shows that approximately 1.30 billion adults worldwide still lack access to banking services, and another 4.70 billion adults are “underbanked,” lacking access to credit, digital payments, and interest-bearing deposit channels.
The report points out that in countries with low traditional financial penetration rates, the usage rate of crypto assets and stablecoins is significantly higher. The cost of cross-border transfers of stablecoins via high-performance networks can be as much as 99% lower than SWIFT, with faster settlement, which helps reduce remittance fees.
Binance data shows that the proportion of users from emerging markets on the platform has increased from 49% in 2020 to 77% in 2026. Their savings, cross-border payments, and capital market participation behaviors are more active, reflecting the supplementary role of on-chain infrastructure in deposits, payments, yields, and capital market access.

Today’s Market Pulse
Bitcoin continues to outperform Ethereum as institutional flows, regulatory clarity, and whale activity shape market dynamics, with the ETH/BTC ratio hitting 10-month lows amid divergent narratives.
Key Themes
BTC Dominance & Divergent Performance: Bitcoin’s relative strength against Ethereum persists, with the ETH/BTC exchange rate at a 10-month low. This divergence reflects differing narratives: Arthur Hayes predicts BTC’s inevitable return to $126,000 driven by geopolitical factors, while Wintermute attributes the current rally to leveraged trading rather than organic demand. Despite this, institutional players like Wells Fargo increased ETH ETF holdings, signaling nuanced institutional positioning.
Regulatory Tailwinds & Frameworks: Michael Saylor views the CLARITY Act as transformative for digital capital markets, providing institutional validation for BTC and establishing frameworks for digital yield markets. However, the draft still prohibits earning returns solely from holding stablecoins, creating regulatory boundaries for yield-generating strategies. This regulatory development could reshape institutional adoption pathways.
Exchange Evolution & Market Structure: Exchanges are expanding into traditional finance integration, with OKX listing perpetual contracts for traditional stocks (SHLD, RKLB, MRVL, WDC) and updating Boost rules to include DEX trading volume. Bitget’s ranking second globally in stock perpetual contracts market share reflects this convergence, while Bitdeer’s 372% YoY mining output increase highlights the maturing Bitcoin infrastructure.
Tokenization & RWA Expansion: The tokenization narrative gains traction, with Bybit highlighting India’s trillion-dollar fintech opportunity through RWA, and Binance emphasizing blockchain’s role in global financial inclusion. msx.com’s launch of RWA tokens for US stocks and ETFs demonstrates the growing sophistication in real-world asset tokenization, potentially unlocking new liquidity pools.
RichSilo Verdict
Sophisticated investors should monitor the implementation details of the CLARITY Act, particularly how it addresses yield-generation restrictions, as this could trigger institutional flows. The ETH/BTC divergence requires attention—whether it’s a temporary correction or structural shift in market preference. On-chain whale activity, including the recent $26.7M BTC withdrawal and massive ETH deposits, suggests significant liquidity movements that could precede volatility. The RWA tokenization trend, particularly in emerging markets like India, presents long-term infrastructure opportunities that may decouple from broader crypto market sentiment.
