Recently, the price of XRP has soared to $2.84, and its market value has exceeded $146 billion, making it the world's third largest crypto asset. This phenomenon is mainly driven by the following factors:
New product layout: Ripple actively launches ETFs and stablecoins to attract more institutional investors.
Favorable policy expectations: The new US government will adopt a more friendly crypto regulatory policy.
Market capital inflows: Whale accounts are active, driving market sentiment higher.
As XRP drives market sentiment, related concept projects such as AVAX, LINK, ONDO and HBAR recorded an average increase of over 30%. As policies continue, the market expects that Wall Street capital will prefer stable and corporate-operated blockchain infrastructure to enable the entry of real world assets (RWA) and stablecoin capital.
Avalanche——AVAX
AVAX has recorded a 22.86% increase in the past 7 days, and its 24-hour trading volume has increased by nearly 100%. Emin Gün Sirer, founder and CEO of Ava Labs, revealed in response to questions from community users on the X platform that Avalanche (AVAX) is in discussion with the incoming US government. He said that the team will not show off its political relationship with the government on social media, but will directly present the results in a "complete Avalanche style" and advise the community to "make plans accordingly."
Avalanche (AVAX) is a blockchain platform focused on supporting the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) and custom blockchain networks with high scalability, fast processing speeds, and strong interoperability. The platform uses a unique consensus protocol, the Snowman Consensus Protocol, and operates under the Proof of Stake (PoS) framework. The Avalanche platform consists of the following three main blockchains:
- X-Chain: For asset creation and exchange.
- C-Chain: supports smart contracts and is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
- P-Chain: used to coordinate validators and subnet management.
Avalanche Recent Progress
1. Avalanche9000 Upgrade
- The cost of launching a Layer 1 blockchain (L1) is reduced by 99.9%.
- C-Chain’s gas fees are reduced by 96%.
- Enhanced inter-chain interoperability.
This upgrade is already live on the Fuji testnet and is planned to be deployed to the mainnet, providing developers with an easier process for creating customized blockchains.
2. Community and ecosystem growth
Avalanche has seen a significant increase in community activity and is strengthening its infrastructure and dApp ecosystem through a partnership with Amazon Cloud Services (AWS).
3. Avalanche Rush and DeFi Expansion
The Avalanche Rush project provides an incentive mechanism for DeFi protocols such as Aave and Curve. Despite initial complaints about low APY, the project has significantly improved liquidity and user base, promoting the expansion of the entire ecosystem.
Chainlink——LINK
LINK has recorded a 44.8% increase in the past 7 days, and its 24-hour trading volume has increased by nearly 757%. Recently, the Trump family's crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) announced that it will adopt Chainlink as a standard solution for on-chain data and cross-chain interoperability. The protocol plans to first integrate Chainlink oracles on the Ethereum mainnet to provide price feed support and support the upcoming Aave v3 lending protocol. WLFI will be connected to the Chainlink ecosystem, which currently supports more than $16 trillion in transactions. With the help of Chainlink oracles, the WLFI protocol will be able to obtain reliable financial market data and support the launch of multiple assets such as USDC, USDT, ETH, and WBTC.
Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that aims to enhance the capabilities of blockchain applications by securely connecting smart contracts with real-world data and external APIs. It enables blockchain smart contracts to interact with external systems and becomes an important infrastructure for the real-world asset (RWA) track. Chainlink's native token LINK is used to pay node operators for data retrieval and provision, thereby ensuring the economic sustainability of the network.
Chainlink's technology continues to expand and has been successfully integrated into multiple blockchain platforms, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Optimism, and Solana. Many projects use Chainlink to provide services such as price information and cross-chain interoperability. Recently, Chainlink announced cooperation with financial institutions such as ANZ, Swift, and UBS, and launched Chainlink Economics 2.0 to support network sustainability, and launched Chainlink Scale to help the blockchain ecosystem improve efficiency.
Chainlink recently announced the launch of CCIP Private Transactions, powered by the newly released Chainlink Blockchain Privacy Manager. This privacy-preserving feature will help financial institutions ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and compliance of data when transacting across blockchain networks. In addition, Chainlink is working with EU company 21X to promote the launch of a tokenized asset settlement system, providing reliable pricing and on-chain event data connections for financial data. The Central Bank of Brazil (BancoCentralBR) also chose the Chainlink standard for secure settlement of its Drex project to ensure secure operations across borders, blockchains, and currencies in different fields.
ok
ONDO has recorded a 44.8% increase in the past 7 days, and its 24-hour trading volume has increased by nearly 291%. Ondo Finance is a protocol dedicated to tokenizing traditional financial assets (TradFi) and introducing them to the blockchain. Through tokenization, it provides on-chain financial products for institutions, aiming to benefit more investors. Ondo's native token ONDO plays a key role in governance, staking, and ecological incentives.
Ondo has made significant progress in tokenizing U.S. Treasuries, launching products such as OUSG (U.S. Government Bond Fund) and USDY (yield stablecoin), which have received widespread attention. Meanwhile, Ondo has successfully completed FinCEN registration, further strengthening its compliance. Ondo also achieves cross-chain interoperability through technology integration with Polyhedra Network and LayerZero. Additionally, Ondo’s partnership with PayPal USD (PYUSD) provides round-the-clock exchange capabilities.
Hedera——HBAR
HBAR recorded a 163.12% increase in the past 7 days, and its 24-hour trading volume also increased by nearly 95%.
Hedera has played a central role in a project with BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset managers, to tokenize money market funds (MMFs). The project brought together several key partners, including:
Archax: Provides trading and custody services.
Ownera: Supports underwriting and compliance during the tokenization process.
HBAR Foundation: Provides technical and financial support.
In this collaboration, Hedera uses its blockchain technology to realize the ledger record of tokenized assets, ensuring the transparency and security of data. Tokenization makes the transaction of traditional assets more flexible and efficient, and simplifies the purchase and redemption process.
Hedera uses the Hashgraph consensus algorithm based on Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), which has the following salient features:
High efficiency: capable of processing thousands of transactions per second with extremely low latency.
Controllable nodes: Dominated by enterprise nodes, meeting the enterprise's high requirements for stability and consistency.
Partially centralized: Compared with completely decentralized public chains, Hedera is more suitable for enterprise-level application scenarios.
This design makes Hedera particularly suitable for financial institutions like BlackRock, providing strong support for the issuance and trading of their tokenized assets.
summary
The recent recovery of the crypto market has benefited from favorable policies and technological innovation. XRP's strong performance has led to the rise of related concept projects, especially AVAX, LINK and HBAR, which have consolidated their market position through ecological cooperation, tokenized asset applications and technological progress. In the future, RWA and DeFi stablecoin tracks will become the core areas of deep integration between the crypto industry and traditional finance.
