**Asia Morning Briefing: According to Chronicle Founder Niklas Kunkel, the market for tokenized assets is poised to surpass decentralized finance (DeFi) as the leading trend in the financial landscape.** source: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2025/08/11/asia-morning-briefing-tokenized-assets-will-eclipse-defi-chronicle-founder-niklas-kunkel-says

Golden Finance has launched the 2782nd issue of "Golden Morning 8", a morning report on the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, to provide you with the latest and fastest digital currency and blockchain industry news.

Two very different approaches to the same problem: how to make cryptocurrency accessible to the masses.

DeFi TVL hit a new high of $270 billion, but market attention shifted to NFTs; AI enthusiasm cooled, and vulnerability losses increased.

This change stems from technological innovation and is also promoting the deep integration of crypto finance and traditional systems.

As the light of innovation shines, are the shadows that once made us pay a heavy price in the P2P storm - arbitrage mentality, regulatory lags, legal ambiguity, and mass enthusiasm and fragility - quietly clinging to this emerging model?

In recent years, "cryptocurrency-stock linkage" has become one of the hottest trends between the capital market and the crypto world.

RWA, financial system, financing, how to prevent the RWA craze from becoming the next financial bubble? Golden Finance, the real goal of RWA tokenization is not to expand the scale of financing.

We have gone from trading worthless air to today, finally owning hard, durable, and most importantly, on-chain assets that will determine the future of the world.

Golden Weekly is a weekly blockchain industry summary column launched by Golden Finance. Its content covers the week's key news, mining information, project dynamics, technological progress and other industry trends.
