The lending protocol Blend holds $127 million, and the pool accepting RWA as collateral is just over $2 million, indicating that RWA issuance has outpaced on-chain availability.The growth is primarily driven by four products: Amundi and Spiko overnight swap fund ($713 million), Spiko T-Bill fund ($536 million), Ondo USDY (over $533 million), and VuMe Bond 2030 ($500 million). RedStone points out that the settlement cycle of RWA does not match the 24/7 on-chain lending market, and the pricing mechanism is the current main bottleneck. Stellar already has 55 SEP-40 price data sources provided by RedStone. RedStone also mentioned that DTCC plans to bring its $114 trillion in custodial assets to Stellar by 2027.

The U.S. House of Representatives will vote next Tuesday on a temporary funding bill. This vote will use the "suspension of the rules" procedure, which means the bill must receive a two-thirds majority support from those present to pass. This high threshold voting procedure is typically used for legislative matters that are less controversial and have bipartisan consensus.The background for this vote is the funding deadline pressure facing the U.S. federal government. The federal funding for the current fiscal year will expire on September 30, and if Congress fails to pass a new funding bill or a temporary continuing resolution before then, the federal government will face the risk of a partial shutdown. Previously, the House and Senate have each advanced their own temporary funding proposals aimed at extending government funding into the fall.

According to a report released by the oracle provider RedStone, the scale of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) on the Stellar chain surpassed $3 billion in July, while the total value locked (TVL) in the network's DeFi was only $213 million, showing a significant gap between the two. The report pointed out that the issuance speed of RWA far exceeds the development of the lending market and collateral pools, which has become a bottleneck restricting the use of on-chain assets.RedStone attributed the growth mainly to four products: Amundi and Spiko's overnight fund ($713 million), Spiko's government bond fund ($536 million), Ondo's USDY (over $533 million), and VuMe Bond 2030 ($500 million). Data from DefiLlama shows that the TVL of the Stellar network is $232.72 million, of which the lending protocol Blend has locked $150.03 million, but the funding pool accepting RWA as collateral is only about $2 million.The report believes that the settlement times of traditional government bonds, credit funds, and money market funds do not match the instant settlement requirements of on-chain lending, while 24/7 price oracles are key to making RWA usable as collateral. Currently, Stellar has connected to 55 SEP-40 price sources from RedStone, covering government bonds, corporate credit, tokenized gold, and money market funds. In addition, the report mentioned that the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to introduce custodial assets to Stellar by 2027, with a scale of custodial assets reaching $114 trillion.

According to The Block, research and brokerage firm Bernstein stated that Bitcoin mining company IREN plans to invest $25 billion to $30 billion to expand its AI cloud business in fiscal year 2027. This scale of capital expenditure may "scare the market," but analysts believe investors are overlooking the improving economic benefits.Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani pointed out in a report to clients on Friday that the payback period for GPU capital expenditures has shortened from about three years under the 2025 Microsoft contract to about two years. IREN's fiscal year 2026 performance released on Thursday showed that AI cloud service revenue grew nearly eightfold from $16.4 million the previous year to $128.8 million, while Bitcoin mining revenue reached $578.2 million, a year-on-year increase of 19%. Total revenue rose from $501 million to $707 million, but the company recorded a net loss of $702.6 million, partly reflecting a $638.8 million impairment due to the retirement of Bitcoin mining hardware to support AI cloud expansion.Bernstein stated that IREN currently has an annualized run rate revenue of $1 billion from operating cloud and $4 billion in contract revenue, with its 2026 capacity nearly sold out. In addition to the expected $700 million related to the Nvidia contract in 2027, IREN's total contract cloud ARR amounts to $4.7 billion. Over the past 12 months, IREN has raised $19 billion through customer prepayments, GPU financing, convertible bonds, and equity issuance.
