Castle Labs released an RWA industry report stating that the on-chain tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) has reached $28.2 billion, an increase of about 500% compared to early 2025, with a peak of $31.8 billion.Currently, tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds and money market funds remain the largest category, with a scale of about $17 billion, accounting for nearly 60% of the entire RWA market, among which BlackRock BUIDL and Hashnote USYC have both surpassed $3 billion in scale. The report also points out that tokenized stocks have become one of the fastest-growing RWA sub-sectors, growing over 170% this year, significantly higher than the approximately 60% growth rate of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds.Castle Labs believes that the expansion of stablecoins, the entry of institutional funds, and the advancement of regulatory frameworks such as CLARITY and MiCA are driving the continuous on-chain migration of traditional financial assets. However, the current industry's biggest bottleneck has shifted from asset issuance to redemption mechanisms and DeFi composability. Currently, of the approximately $28.2 billion in on-chain RWA, only about $3 billion has entered DeFi, with a penetration rate of about 10%.

According to Jinshi reports, the Federal Reserve has lowered its GDP growth and unemployment rate forecasts for this year, significantly raised the PCE and core PCE inflation expectations for this year and next, and also raised the federal funds rate expectations for the next three years.

According to Jinshi reports, foreign media analysis points out that nearly half of the Federal Reserve decision-makers no longer believe that merely maintaining stable borrowing costs can drive the inflation rate back to the target level of 2%. The latest dot plot from the Federal Reserve shows that decision-makers' views on the interest rate path have shifted towards concerns about rate hikes, with some individuals convinced that the Federal Reserve will need to raise rates. Predictions indicate that the year-on-year increase in the PCE price index is expected to reach 3.6% by the end of the year, the core PCE price index will reach 3.3%, and the unemployment rate will remain at 4.3%.

According to Jinshi reports, analyst Matthew Weller believes that FOMC Chairman Kevin Walsh's first Federal Reserve meeting is expected to keep interest rates unchanged, but the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), the "dot plot," and the content of the press conference may significantly reshape the market's expectations for the future path of interest rates. The dollar index DXY 99.5 is seen as a key "watershed," which may determine the technical trend of the dollar this week and in the longer term.

J.P. Morgan strategist Tarek Hamid and his team have raised their forecast for total investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure by 2030 to $5.5 trillion in a recent research report, an increase of $400 billion from their prediction last November. The bank noted that in this investment race for super-scale data centers, approximately $4.1 trillion will come from debt financing, with loans covering an average of 85% of total project costs, indicating that AI capital expenditures have shifted to a debt market-centric financing model.Since last November, global bond issuance related to AI and data centers has exceeded $300 billion. The latest typical case comes from chip giant NVIDIA, which completed the pricing of a $25 billion investment-grade bond issuance this Monday, marking its return to the bond market for the first time in five years. This issuance was conducted in seven tranches (with maturities ranging from 2 to 30 years) and attracted oversubscription of up to $85 billion, ultimately increasing the issuance size by 25% from the initial target.The research report emphasizes that although tech giants like NVIDIA, Alphabet, and Amazon are generating substantial cash flow from the AI boom (with NVIDIA estimating free cash flow exceeding $200 billion this fiscal year), these giants still choose to issue hundreds of billions of dollars in bonds. This indicates that such bond issuance is not due to a "lack of financing," but rather that the credit market is confirming the pricing of AI assets.

According to Jinshi, Castle Securities in the United States stated that as inflation continues and spreads, the Federal Reserve may begin a series of interest rate hikes as early as September.

However, with changes in the economic situation, this view has shifted. The report mentioned, "We no longer expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates this year."
